The free silver party tells the
Western farmer that free coinage will

doubleday it would, but why do this
for the benefit of the silver mine own
ers when there are other means, equal

farmer in precisely the same ratio !?
For example: Double the number Of
pounds in bushel. This would
naturally double the price per bushels.
And why wouldn't it be just as we'll
for the farmer to sell 120 pounds of
wheat for l00-cent dollar as it
would to sell 60 pounds of wheat for

This principle would work we'll in

never was a time or place where a la

right now. The common statement
that "the rich are growing richer and

the grossest and most silly and mis-
chievous lie Of the time. Men repeat
it who ought to know better. Any
body will know better who takes the

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iI,flamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube

rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its

Every marriage is disappointment
to somebody.
Men love too often and women love
too much.
Troubles never come singly, 1t
takes two to get married.
A woman never loves more than
ouce; if you don't believe it, ask her.
Every woman has reason for mar
rying, bat she usually keeps it to her.
self.
The bride is often inclined to LAUGH
at the old maid The old maids laugh

Most unmarried women are sure
they would be delighted to have their
husbands smoke in the parlor.

any illusions about marriage. When
you haven't any you won't want to

Wages, Prices and Money.


OF all the mass of untruth circulated |
this summer to aid the Bryan cam
paign no kind is more common than
that in regard to the condition of work
ingmen-meaning mechanics, laborers
and others who work for daily wages.
The idea, stated more or less distinctly,
is that these men were never so badly
off as now and that the gold standard
is responsible for all their woes because
it has brought the price of labor and
of commodities so very low. Somebody
who signs himself Common Laborer"
has written a newspaper letter upon
this point, which is interesting. The
letter gives the prices of labor in 1864,
1872 and 1895, and also gives the
prices of things laborer has to buy.
The labor is that of common labor"
and the price is given as 50 day in
1854, $1.25 in 1872 and 81 in 1895.
Here is fall of so per cent in wages
in 80 years. Now let us see about the
prices Of the things a laborer has to
buy. The writer gives list of prices
in 1854, thus
I barrel flour 40 M
20 yards cotton sheeting, at 60 cents u 90
20 yards calico, at so cents 10 90
10 pounds sugar, at 20 cents 90
10 pounds pork, at 20 cents POO
gallons keiosen oil, at $l.33l3 400
l suit ready made clothes 40 90
$ss 90
To earn this amount laborer at So
day must of course work A days.
Now take the prices of the same things
in 1872, thus
barrel flour $40 90
20 yards cotton sheetng' at IA
cents 2S
20 yards calico, at II IL cents $50
10 pounds sugar at Is cents so
lOpounds pork, at Is ceuts so
3gallons kerosene Oil, at 40 cents 20
suit ready made clothes p OO-s4l 80
Wages have fallen from So to 81. 25
day, it will be remembered, but still
the prices of -four and pork and cloth
and the other things have fallen so
much more that man getting $1.25 a
day pays for the lot In a little less than
80 IL days. For the same necessaries
he actually works about 10 ~ days
less than in 1864, although both work
and commodities represent less money.
And the prices Of the same things in
1895 are given thus
barrel flour a 30
20 yards cotton sheeting, at612
cents I 20
70 yards calico. at 1-2 cents 10
10 pounds sugar, at cents so
10 pounds pork, at 10 cents 90
3gallons kerosene oil, at 10 cents 80
suit ready made clothes 10 OO-sls 70
Wages have fallen half since 1864,
but the comodities have fallen three
quarters-that is about what the fig
ures say. Instead of working A days
for the supply the laboier works IS Z.
10 days-less than half the time.
OF course these figures would moi
hold true through all wages and all
prices in precise way, but they would
hold true in general way. There
