Journalistic Dishonesty.

The Fredericktown Net1s is so en-
crossed in its campaign for an honest
dollar that it has entirely lost sight OF
honest journalism. In replying to our
article on Campaign Falsehoods" it
quotes all of it referring to itself ex-
cept that part In which We called at
tention to the fact that some of the
best citizens of Mount Vernon. Illinois,
Republicans as well as Democrats. had
voluntarily made affidavit that :hey
heard all of Mr.. Bryan's speech at that
point, and that he did not use the Ian
guage attributed to him. This affida-
Wit was published in both the Post-Dis-
patch and the Republic, and must have
been known to the editor of the NegOs
If he keeps abreast OF current events.
After emitting our reference to the
proof of our statements. he calmly
calls upon US for evidence that what it
had reproduced from the Sedalia Cap
itGI was not true. This a fine exhibit
ton of sole-leather conscience, and
typical of your thick-and-thin Republic
can. Perhaps the editor of the Nea0s
believes that falsehood is a proper
weapon of political warfare when a
resort to il will accomplish results
The paragraph referred to by the
Nea0s: '.If you can't sign, say so. and
sign letter." was taken from the letter
of railroad official-not Mr.. Hardy,
however-to one of the men, and was
furnished to as. That letter was pub
lished in the edition of the REGISTER
in which the paragraphs quoted ap-
peared. The letter is in existence to-
day, and the editor of the REGISTER
says be can lay his hands upon it at
any time. What it means we leave
the public to infer.

wages were so reduced in 1866 as the
conductor stated. Why were there no
strikes from 1860 to 1878? If a boss
in that period had suggested to his
men how they should vote, under pain
of discharge If they refused, he would
have been told in that rude and bOis-
ferrous manner common to railroafd
men to seek a warmer climate; or, per-
haps, been smashed in the mouth for
his imprudence. Why? Because in
that era of dishonest dollars and rotten
money he could have found a job in
the next field. In that unhappy time
there were two jobs to one man, and
the man could choose his job. Now,
in this era of honest money, there are
about three men to one job. and the
boss selects the man. Flush times con-
tinued in this country until we began
to burn our greenbacks in 1868. when
a halt was called upon prosperity.
Prosperity was assassinated in 1873.
since which time the tramp has sprung
into existence.

An Open Letter from a Section Fore
man TO His Superintendent.

My Dear Str-In all my years of SER
vice under your direction / am glad to
say that / have found more to COM
mend than condemn in your treatment
of your employees.
am glad to say that | have always
found you fair and reasonable in mat
tiers pertaining to the company service.
In such matters | have recognized
your authority and respected your
judgment / have always held my
opinions in subordination TO yours in
matters pertaining to the business of
the road.
But. my dear sir, when we lay down
the business of the road and take up
other matters, especially the matters
pertaining to our great government,
then we lose the positions of superior
and subordinate, and become fellow
citizens, with equal rights and respon-
sibilities.
When our Fathers founded this great
government of ours they placed the
right of suffrage in the hands of every
citizen with all the rights and respou-
sibilities of the same.
While it is our undoubted right to
use the ballot in self-defense, there is
also solemn duty devolving upon US
to use that power only after mature
deliberatiou, and then only for the
public good.
How, then, in view of this great re-
spousibility. can we afford to subordi-
nate our judgment to that of another?
Do you question the wisdom of uni
versal suffrage? Then why the unpar-
alleled advancement of great country?
Wisdom does not flow through the
channels of hereditary descent. On
the contrary, it is found among all
classes, and is as diversified as the
trees of forest. This fact must have
been in the minds of our fathers when
they imposed upon US the great respon-
sibilities of self-government and de-
livered into our hands the care and
keeping of the greatest country on
earth.
In view of these facts my dear sir,
cannot defer my judgment to yours.
No more can you subordinate your
judgment to mine All citizens of
our common country have an equal re-
sponsibility and that responsibility
should never be shirked or delegated
to another. Yours for the common
good. A SECTION FOREMAN.

Dishonest Dollars and the Working
men.

In the present campaign the pluto
cracy are appealing to the most sordid
passions of men. While accusing the
Democracy of attempting to array
class against class, they unblushingly
tell the wage Garner that his interest
is not the producers interest; that
high prices for farm products mean
reduction of his wages, because his
money will not go so far in purchasing
supplies for his family. The New
York Sam in an editorial on that ques-
ton openly boosted that the non-pro-
d6cing classes could outvote the agri-
cultural class whenever it was to their
interest to do so. Yet this paper
bowls about Bryan attempting to ar
ray class against class! In a leaflet
recently published for the benefit of
railroad men, purporting to be a con-
versation between a conductor and
brakeman, the conductor starts out
with the usual clap-trap about the
fifty-three cent dollar, in which he
states that the silver in the silver dol
lar being worth only ifty-three cents.
the other forty-seven cents is made up
of the governments obligation to pay
it. This last proposition is wholly
false. The government is not back of
the silver dollar. 1t proposes to re-
ceive it, and makes it legal tender
for all debts where gold is not provid-
ed for in the contract. The conductor
lied to the brakeman egregiously.
Again, the brakeman is informed
that free coinage would affect railroads
more disastrously than any other bust
ness interest in the country, for the
reason their bonds are payable in gold.
Perhaps not twenty per cent. of the
bombed Indebtedness of our railroads
is payable in gold. Under free coinage
the power of the individual to discrim-
mate against or in favor of any money
of final account of this government
would be taken away. A contract call
ing for certain number of ounces of
a certain fineness would be enforced,
but no one would be allowed to say
what money of final account he would
receive.
To the brakeman's question, "would
not railroads also earn more money I'M
der free coinage, and be enabled to in
crease the wages of their employees cor
respondingly? ?" the conductor replies:
mo, they would not. Freight and
passenger rates are fixed by law. and
the tendency of legislation is to reduce
rather than to increase rates" If the
brakeman was half as well equipped
with brains as this conductor was with
brass, he would know that il free coin
age should result in an increased cost
of running railroads, the first gentle
man to meet the state legislators would
be a railroad lobbyist demanding in
CFSdSSu AEc1s " 1uu pASSSaSSE raves as
compensation for increased running
expenses. Again, the brakeman, or
any other railroad man, can see that
If the value of the things hauled by
the railroads continues 20 decline,
freight and passenger rates must also
be reduced. sooner or later. and that
his wages must come TO the same level.
We ask every railroad man who reads
the REGIsrER to consider this PROPOSE |
ton: How can the produce of the far
mer, and other materials You haul, |
continue to depreciase and your wages

THE railroad magnates profess to be-
lieve that Free Coinage would reduce
their receipts. and for this reason they
are so ardently endeavoring to "per-
suade" their employees to join Sound
Money clubs. We suggest to them
that determined legislature backed
by an indignant people may be harder
to deal with than even "a fifty-cent
dollar"

THE only loophole the goldites have
is to lay the present condition OF af-
fairs to the tariff change. Every sane
man knows that the panic set in in the
spring OF 1898. The so-called Wilson
bill did not take effect until nearly two
years later, and here is what Gov. Alt
geld. of Illinois in a speech at Girard,
Ill, said on the subject: s'Harrison's
signature was hardly dry on the Nc
Kinley act when manufacturers began
reducing wages. When workmen pro-
tested or went on strike. their places
were filed from the pauper districts of
Europe. This law was in force until
near the beginning of the year 1895,
aud for the fiscal year ending June so,
1894. Il produced deficit in the Uui-
ted States treasury of $40. 900. O0o."
