After 1878 this country prospered as no 9TH

believe that il took this wide awake nation 10
years to find out that II was ruined by the

Cheap Money HINTS labor
The tnnationiSts admit that their scheme is
against the interest Of al those who rive upon
fixed salaries. This includes every one whose
services are paid for by the year, month. week
or day, from president 81 o railway system 10
hOdcarrier and those who draw PENSIONS
from Tho government. History teaches that
wages have never participated in boou prices
created by dohauchtng the money Of s. cuun-
try. They have remained about the sama
whether paid in good or bad money. The
wage Garner ia q traitor TO himself and his
family when ne let's his prejudice lead him to
the imitation camp and agrees TO take his fixed

is based on tho degradation OF their labor. We
do not want prosperity at such a price. and we
are getting 1t rapidly without swindling our
labor. When the laborer prospers, he becomes
a consumer and his prosperity reacts upon
and benefits all other interests. In Mexico
they have many refined and wealthy people,
but thoir laborer is a poon. He gets from 10 to
30 cents per day in money worth half its face
value. He lives in a miserable mud hut. eats

every silver or double standard country in
the world the same degradation of labor is APP

We are told that silver is the poor mans
money. This appeals To hts prejudice and Is
wholly untrue. Wages are rot paid IL silver
ut the end of each day, but they are paid by
the year, month or week, in currency or gold.
