If Free Coinage Wins.

Chump Citizen-Now that Bryan is
elected thought I'd come around to
the mine and get little free silver. "
Uncle SAMMY dear boy, you've
made big mistake. Free silver
didn't mean that every man who voted
for Bryan could walk up to the mint
and help himself. 1t meant that il you
have silver bullion you can bring it here
and will put my stamp on it "free"
of charge to you; that's all.
G. C.--But haven't any silver bull
lionl
U. ST. didn't suppose you had.
9. O.-I don't know how to get any.
Pm poor workingman.
u. S.-Just So ''There are others,
millions of them, like you.
G. C.-But how can get some silver
bullion?
u. S.-Work for it, But you might
as we'll work for something else, for my
stamp ON silver wouldn't change its
value particularly. You IL have to hustle
for a living now as hard as ever
harder, i'll fact.
@. C.-But don't 1 come in some
where?
u. S.-Why, if the silver owner owes
you dollar for work or goods. he will
pay you with 81 cents worth of silver,
instead of with 100 cent dollar, and
you have made him free gift of 40
cents worth of work. You don't come
in You arc left out.

"You say you want u little about the
old soldiers. Well, my friends, the
crisis which is approaching now, the
question before the country now, APP
peals to the old soldier as much as it
did in 1861. | am not afraid that any
man who risled his life in his nations
behalf is going to be Influenced by the
arguments that are addressed to the sol
diers now by the financiers, F" etc.--Mr.
Bryan at Milwaukee, Sept. B.
Not one word in answer TO the ques
ton whether the purchasing power of
the monthly pension payments to $780,
900 pensioners would be reduced by the
free coinage Of l6 TO l silver dollars.
Not word as to the effect upon PEN
sion payments hereafter Of the lex
termination" of the 1900 cent dollar"
because it is worth too much and buys
too much.
We do not assume that veteran sol
diers arc thinking of nothing but PEN
sions, but they should compel Mr..
Bryan to say frankly what would be
the effect Of free coinage upon the pen
sioner's dollar.
Make him answer the question one
way or the other. --Exchange.

An Unworthy Citizen.

Silverite Orator-What we want is
more money.
Skeptic-Would free coinage make
moro money?
S. C.-Certainly. 1t would give us
both gold and silver.
S.--But wouldn't free coinage at rs
to drive gold out Of circulation. in ac-
cordance with the Gresham law?
S. O.-My friend. Mr.. Bryan pro-
poses to repeal any law that is working
in the interest of the goldbugs and Shy
locks.
S.--But the Gresham law is natu-
raj law, like the law Of gravitation.
S. O.-My friend, you are pessimist
and don't know that you are citizen
of the grandest country on earth--one
that can "without the aid or consent of
any other nation" repeal even the law
of gravitation itself if it should become
a tool of Wall street. Shame on you'll
You don't belong to this country. As

We had public meetin In the schoolhouse here

And foller from the city was invited down to
speak
He'd studied up tho subject of finance In every
light
And claimed that lac was competent to show
us what was right.
He says this whole blamed country Is a-goin
straight TO smash
Unless we get free coinage and increase our
stock of cash.
He's figgercd out a daisy scheme and claims
twill work immense.
He wants to make our dollars cost us only fifty
cents.
He'd take flour bits of silver and would run
1t through tho mint
And stamp it plain lone dollar" with the gov
ernment's imprint
The mines would dump their silver, and the
nation, slick as grease,
Would grind out brand now dollars at Just fifty

THE QUESTION PLAINLY STATED.
Free Coinage OF Silver Would BE Mon
strous Injustice.


strous Injustice.
The free coinage Of silver as defined
by the friends of that policy in the bill
pending In the United States senate
means that any person owning silver
bullion to the value of 500 may deliver
it to any United States mint and re-
ceive for it 100 legal tender dollars 1t
means that the government shall coin,
free of charge, in standard or legal ten
der silver dollars, all the silvet bullion
that may be presented to it, and thus
pay premium Of 49 per cent to every
holder Of silver bullion.
When it is remembered that the silver
producing interest embraces but an in
finitesimal portion Of the people Of the
country as compared with those who
produce iron, coal, cotton, cottons,
woolens, wheat and other products of
the farm, the monstrous injustice Of the
government paying to one petty class
Of producers nearly double the value of
their products should make every honest
minded citizen recoil against it. In
short, free silver coinage means that
the government shall buy all the silver
bullion offered at nearly double its mar
ket value.
But the paternalism of the govern
ment toward the silver producers in
paying nearly double the market value
for all their product would be but q
small portion of the appalling wrong
that must be done to the country by the
establishment of such u financial sys-
tenn. The day that the free and unlim-
tied coinage Of silver ON basis of 16
to 1 shall be adopted by this govern
ment would witness the entire change
of our financial system from q gold to a
liked nations of the world, and forfeit
the credit and confidence of the great
civilized nations that have so largely
aided our advancement, and without
which we could not maintain CONNER
cial and industrial prosperity for day.
When the government wanted to bor-
row money, it would be required to pay
So for 81, as Mexico, China and Japan
now do, and labor would have little If
any increase in wages, while the dollar
earned would produce only 90 cents
worth OF tho necessaries Of life.-Phila-

AT SEA-.


Shall We the storm tossed sailors, weep
For those who may not sail again
Or wisely envy them and keep
Oar pity for the living men2
Beyond the weary waste of sea.
Beyond the wider waste of death,
strain my gaze and cry to thee,
Whose still heart never answereth.
Oh, brother, is thy coral bed
SO sweet thou wilt not hear my speech2
This hand, methnks. If were dead,
To thy dear hand would strive to reach.
would not if God gave us choice
For each to bear the Others part
That mine should be the silent voice.
And thine the silent. aching heart.
All, well for any voyage done,
Mhate'er its end or port or reef.
Better the voyage ne'er begun,
For all ships sail the sea of grief.

Even though the farmers may be
right in thinking that they are not as
prosperous as they ought to be, it by no
means follows that free coinage will
improve their condition. Because man
has rheumatism is no reason why he
should take the advice Of quack doc
tor who prescribes big dose of ipecac.

Goldbugs must have got into the
wheatflelds, judging from the way in
