wages never rose in anything like the
same ratio as prices. While the rise Of
the latter was over 100 per cent, the rise
in the former was only 40 per cent. Mexi-
co furnishes an even more striking ex-
ample of this. Prices have constantly
risen under the decline of silver until
they are DOUBLE but the laborer receives
today no more dollars than he did when
silver was at parity with gold.
What does the wage Garner do. there
fore, when he votes for free silver?
Ale votes TO cheat himself by in
oreasing the prices of neoessariss good
deal and wages very little.
What would this be doing?
Att would be cruoifying themselves
on CROSS OF silver.
Will wage earners do this?
A.-Wage earners are not fools.

ROBBING THEMSELVES.
New York Journal of Commerce. )

(New York Journal of Commerce..
When the cheap money people, and
those who are in process of becoming
SUCH, say of a cheap dollar, or ''flat'i
dollar, or any other dollar that is not SO
good as the present gold dollar, that if
1t be d legal tender they can compel its
acceptance, and therefore it would be
just as efficient as gold dollar, they
forget that prices arc never stationary,
and that the law does not and cannot
regulate them. A debtor may, under q
legal tender act, oblige creditor to ac-
eept thousand cheap dollar in discharge
of 81. 900 of Indebtedness, but that he
would not be able to buy for fifteen
cheap dollars suit now marked S15, for
there is nothing to prevent the dealer
from marking up his prices, as he did
when the greenbacks were deprecated,
and as be certainly would if he were to
be paid in dollars on the silver standard.
Free coinage is being urged on the sx-
press ground that it would raise prices.
In other words, the only reason why
silver. dollars are being urged as the
basis of the currency is that they would
not buy as much as gold dollars do.
Every man who supports cheap dollars
proposes to rob himself.

AN EASY LESSON IN FINANCE.

| Are dollars all alike?
A.-No, they differ in purchasing pow
| er.
Give an example?
| AIT one time during the war ouI
greenbaok dollar would purchase but hall
as much as the gold dollar. In Mexico
the silver dollar will purchase but hall
as much as the gold dollar today.
What is the effect of a sudden change
In the purchasing power of the dollar?
| A.-Somebody is cheated.
Who are the people that generally suf
| fer?
A.-Those most unfamiliar with the
laws that govern thesyalue OF money.
And who are they?
Il A.-They are generally laboring men,
wage earners and small traders who have
| had NO occasion aud no time to inyesti-
gate the intricacies of monetary science.
Who are the men who would suffer
| lsastf
A.-They are the men who are most
familiar with monetary laws.
And who are they?
A.-Ihey are bankers and brokers and
capitalists whose business is deal
ing in money, and who therefore study
the laws that govern it's circulation and
control its purchasing power. Their
knowledge enables them TO discern the
coming of the trouble before it actually
arrives and so they are prepared for 1t.
Would the freq coinage of silver 16 to
cause the purchasing power Of the silver
dollar to decline?
A.-Certainly it would. It's advocates
admit that. for they say that the prices
of commodities would rise, which is only
another way Of saying that the, dollar
would fall.
Who would be best prepared for the
fall?
A.-The bankers and capitalists who.
having foreseen it, would have called in
all the loans they possibly could before
the fall took place and converted them
into gold or gold bearing bonds.
Who would be the least prepared? The
wage earners, even if they had foreseen the
fall, for they could do nothing to effec-
lively protect themselves. If they had
money n the savings bank they might
withdraw it, but being unfamiliar with
Investments the. chances are that they
would be worse eff in the end than If
they had left 1t there and suffered the
loss consequent upon the change of the
standard of payment from dollars of 100
cents to dollars of So cents.
How else would the wage earners suf-
fer?
A-Prices of the necessaries of life
would rise and consequently their living
expenses would be increased.
But would not the wage sarners' wages
rise in proportion?
A.-They never have in the past, and
we can only judge the future by the past

statistioian, whose figures are above sus-
picion, has shown that during the war

TIE FORCES BEHIND FREE COINAGE

TIE FORCES BEHIND FREE COINAGE
In @ recent address tc the Bimetallio
League in London President Francis A.
Walker Of Boston, one of the most dis
tinguished bimetallsts in this country
and recognized authority on the sub
ject, speaking of the financial plank of
the Chicago convention, said:
On the other hand the Democratic
party, at its convention in Chicago, last
week to the deep regret of many patriotic
citlzens, altogether irrespective Of parti-
san convictions and wholly from view
to the national honor and credit, adopted
resolution demanding the free coinage
of silver, at the. ratio of 16 to l, without
reference to the action of other countries.
70 this result the silver mining interest
contributed; the Initiation element con-
tributed; the so-called Populist or Socia-
list party contributed. All those, how
ever, would have been Insufficient to
commit the Democratic party to policy
SO profoundly distrusted by all conserya-
tive men, had 1T not been for the deep
dissatisfaction and angry impatience felt
by hundreds OF thousands of sincere BIZ
metalllsts, west and south, at the fire.
Quent disappointments and hu initiating
failures experienced in the efforts made
by the United States to secure the CO.
operation Vi European Powers IN the re-
establishment of international Bimetal-
ism. That action has been passionately
taken; it will be speedily regretted, if
it is not already regretted, by many of
those who participated in it, 1t was
taken against the earnest advice, protect
and warning of some of the staunohest
Bimetallists of the United States, like
the Honorable W. G. Whitney, of New
York and ex- Governor Russell. of Massa-
chusetts, member of the Boston Com
mittee, and of the eastern delegates to
the Convention generally.
Let it be borne in mind that this is
not the utterance of 'gold-bug" nor
frequenter of Lombard or Wall street,
nOF millionaire, but friend of silver

There is only one silver country in the

The unlimited coinage of cheap silver
dollars would be godsend to Wall street
Spectators of the reckless and venture
some type. Some Of the leading silver
rhetorians have for years been speoula-
tors of this sort and no persons in the
country are more familiar with the ways
and the byways of Wall street and Lom-

bowling against the iniquities of Wall
