The Financial Question and Labor.

To the Editor of the Globe.
The man who works eight to ten hours per
day has no time to fool away in trying to
solve questions so intricate as finance. Gen
orally, it is those fellows who labor with the
muscles Of their jaws that find fault. My
advice to those would be to go to work at
something in order to exercise the muscles of
the arms. and to those who now labor with
their arms to pay no attention to these walk
ing and talking gentlemen. I will quote here
from Washington Irving's works, which
think will fully elucidate what | mean: Peter
Stuyvesant was Dutch governor of Manhattan,
Peter the Strong headed. The Swedes OF
Delaware at one time encroached on Peters
domain. No arbitration would have any eff
feet, so war was the only remedy. Peter
went to war and won, out while away (al-
though he left his walking stick behind to
keep peace while he was away, yet the peo-
pic got dissatisfied and held Indignation
meetings, such as are held occasionally In

there to for himself Just as he entered
q shoemaker addressing the meeting, but
as soon as he saw the governor he almost
froze with fear, but after little he got
courage to proceed. Peter the Strong headed
walked straight up to the platform, offered
the shoemaker pinch of snuff, and then
pulled out his watch and asked the shoemak-

thing as a watch, how can you govern the

my business
A great many In st. Paul will tell you how
to run a bank, and yet IL you were to ask
any of them to do such simple thing as TO

not do 1t. and yet they would settle the f1nan-
cial question, which Is more intricate than

THE GREAT ISSUE

Mr.. Bourke Cochran was chosen fifty,
as a Democrat, to reply to the long and
wearisome speech delivered by Mr..
Bryan in the Madison Square garden
a few days ago. There was the same
immense audience, the same eager ex-
pectancy and same appearance of en-
thusiasm; but the difference between
the two occasions will be evident to
one who reads even the ordinary &C
count of them, although the press dis
patches did not fully disclose the fact
that one half of Mr.. Bryan's au-
dience left the hall before he had fin
ished reading his paper We find in
the great speech which Mr.. Cochran
delivered on Tuesday evening in reply
that combination of eloquence and
fact, that mastery marshaling of ar
gument and that magnetic appeal to
the individual, which unite to make
the perfect orator. There is no diffuse-
ness, no apologize tone, no lack of
concentration, no absence of force in
Mr. Cockran's argument. Straight as
the mark. He aims at the bulls eye
The great central fact in this cam
paign is that whatever else it might
or might not do, the free coinage Of
silver is measure to reduce the wages
of labor. 1t is the workingman's inter-
est above all others that is
now at stake. Unless all the
predictions of both silver men and gold
men are at fault, unless every effect
that each of them expects from free
silver fails to materialize, then prices
will advance. Whether this be from
an increase in the money volume, as
the Populist assumes, or from de-
probation in the quality of the cur
rency as the sound money men argue,
both accept 1t as a necessary and in
evitable consequence If prices do adj
vance, the workingman must suffer, UNI
less his wages advance at least CORE
spondingly. He Is the man upon.
whom the whole burden of the change
will fall. He knows better than any
other how much of task it is to Sc
cure increased compensation. He
knows If prices should double what are
the chances of his obtaining a doubled
wage. If they should rise but 25 per
cent, let him look backward and see
how long it has taken him to secure
the last advance of 25 per cent 1t is
the workingman above all others who
must pay the piper in this dance.
If there shall be single
laboring mans vote cast for
free silver in November, it will
be the vote of a man who asks
that the purchasing power of his daily
wage be diminished by an unknown
amount, anywhere up to so per cent,
without securing to him any compen-
satlng advantage. If this Is I'M
wise for him, it is certainly
criminal for any others to at
tempt to force it upon him. AS Mr.
Cochran shows, and business confirms
it, that Grown of thorns' stage bust
ness was not so entirely inapt For. if
this certain evil which we have point
ed out be not indeed the worst injus-
tice ever done to labor by any govern
ment, then we fail to appreciate it's
true effect. Mr.. Cockran's address is
true speech, a manly speech, a DEM
ocratic speech, a great speech We
hope that every voter in this country
will read it and ponder it before next
November.

FULFILLs IT'S OBLIGATIONS

To the Editor of the Globe
VIII you please answer through the COL
umns of your paper whether OF not silver
certificates and silver coin can be exchanged
for gold at the treasury department of the
United States? F l.. Blackman.
Sioux Falls. s. D.. Aug. IS, 1885,
Appended to the above communica-
ton is the following newspaper clip
ping; which explains what the writer
really wants to know:
He Wanted Gold.-The writer was under
the impression that all kinds of our United
States money, 1. e., silver, gold silver GER
tificates, gold certificates and national bank
notes were alike so far as their purchasing
power is concerned, and that any one could
be exchanged for like denomination of the
other without premium at the United States
treasury or subtreasury. However / find
that l am in error this point as today
presented $25 in silver certificates and SIS in
national bank notes and requested gold in
exchange at the subtreasury here and was
very much surprised to have this demand
refused. We would like to ask. In view of
the above, If our present currency is upon a
gold basis, and If 1t is, why was my de-
mand refused? IT. K. Nicholas.

body doubts that all kinds of property,
except the shares of silver mines,
buoyancy. There would be added,
within twenty-four hours hundreds of
millions to the value of our possess
sions, as measured by the prices which
the people would be willing to pay for
them.
Now, that is what is going to happen
in November. We do not think any
thing is better assured, and we do not
see how any man who has faith in
the American people can doubt 1t,
than that they are going to decline to
force this country to the silver stand
ard and enact a financial revolution
with all its certain disasters and all it's
unknown possibilities Of calamity. AS
Stunning that to be true, the man who
purchases any kind of property today
is going to make big profit in just
three months from this time. He is
going to realize more out of that in
vestment than he could In ordinary
times in series of years. He has to
take, it is true, this one chance. There
is but a single element of speculation
In the process. He must face the pos
slb1llty of free silver tri-
umph, and a consequent slump in
the markets and disappearance of all
value until the inevitable readjustment
shall have been completed. But that
chance, as we have said, is, to our
minds, far smaller than those which
men take in ordinary business every
day. 1t is less than the risk from fire
or from the dishonesty Of employees. or
from any of those unforeseeable mis-
maps that line the path of all kinds of
business. 1t cannot happen unless the
people OF this country are ready to
plunge deliberately into an unmeasured
gulf of dishonor and disaster. Assum-
ing that they are not, then the mar
kets today offer to capital the oppor-
tunlty or generation. Any purchase
made now is good for an advance be-
fore the end of the year equal to about
1--WE years Of ordinary profits The long
headed business men who see this and
act upon it will be the heavy gamers.

FACTS PLAINLY PUT.

l. Ht SecOilu OF the series of Prof.
Laughlin's articles on financial cues
lions, which we publish this morning.
is an admirable exposition of two or
three simple, but fundamental ideas.
and an exposure of equally simple and
equally fundamental fallacies. The
especial virtue of it is it's extreme sim
plicity in presentation No one can
fail to understand exactly what Prof.
Laughlin means, to grasp the applica-
ton of it to the practical affairs of
life and to see the force and aptness
OF the illustrations which he uses.
The first proposition discussed is
the assertion that more money
means more wealth. The real
wealth of country consists in the
amount of useable and exchangeabIe
things that it possesses. If it's money
is of kind that is exchangeable freely
with other nations for food, clothing
and other necessaries of life. then an
increase in the amount of it marks an
increase of wealth. But to nu1tiplv
ume of money by detracting from its
quality by adding to it something that
is not exchangeable for other peoples
goods, and that can be made to circu
late among ourselves only by legisla-
tive compulsion, is not to increase
wealth. Moreover, 1t is a strange
thing that the poor man should think
that adding to the amount of money
will add to his possessions. How Is he
TO get one dollar of it except by ex-
changing for 1t his labor? The owners
of silver bullion are benefited. because
they get from the minis the dollars
which the government puts out: but
not one of those dollars will pass from
their grasp into any other purse with
out some equivalent rendered.
The fallacy CT supposing an intimate
connection between money volume and
hard times or good times is exposed
as 1t has been so frequently in our col
umns. Prosperity" says Prof. Laugh
lin, I'm any sense, means large produc-
ton, large crops, abundant employment
and an equitable distribution Of
wealth. The law of money volume Is
admirably stated by saying that "the
amount OF money needed by trade is
dependent upon the business habits of
the community" This is precisely the
point upon which we have dwelt so fire.
quently. AS long as attempts are made
to fix money volume by political legis-
lation, so long must we have recur-
ring periods of stringency and redun
dance, each of which is vicious and
baneful in it's effects upon business
success. The amount of money should
no more be regulated by law than the
number of bicycles to be manufactured.
or the number of office buildings that
are put up in any city per annum.
Finally, the point made that the
countries of the gold standard have
a much higher per capita circulation
Of money than those of the silver
standard ought to be suggestive
enough to those who attempt to Justify
free coinage on the ground that we
need more money. Prof. Laughlin COW
ers the ground thoroughly as he goes.
and our readers may look for equal
thoroughness and simplicity in the ar
ticles yet to come, which will traverse
the entire range of this vast, but in
teresting topic.

THREE KILLED.
Particulars of the Mine Accident mt
Butte.

BUTTE, Mont. Aug. 19.-Pete Ryan,
foreman Of the st. Lawrence mine, the
property of the Anaconda company.
and Jack Campbell and John Man
ming, two miners, were killed
last evening by a fall Of the cage
from the top Of the mine to the
bottom of the shaft at the 1200-foot
level The two miners were working
at the bottom below the bulkhead at
the 12O0-foot level deepening the shaft
when the cage containing Ryan fell.
instantly crushing the life out of the
two men below, also killing Ryan who
was in the cage. Ryan had just come
to the top and was about to step cut of
the cage when the brake refused to
work and the cage started down the
shaft with fearful velocity. The en-
gineer on top tried to throw on the
clutch, but could not. The safety also
refused to work, and the engineer
jumped out Of the window in time to
avoid the crash when the reel broke
and tons of iron were shot through
roof and walls.

lief in the effect OF the bill Addressing
an opponent of the measure, he said:
Mendacious hireling why not publish the
country that up to the very hour that silver
was demonetized, it stood abreast with gold /;
yea. more, for years was per cent in the
lead; and that. so soon as remonetized, 1t will
again reoccupy the position it maintained
from the origin of the republic to 1873. page
1851
We should remark that these gem
tlemen, whom we are quoting, spoke
of the act of 1878 as "remonetizing" sill
yer. and were not referring to any free
coinage act of past or future Mr.
Finley also quoted by our correspon-
dent, continued:
Let us once more remonetize silver and put
it on an equal footing with gold as an unlim-
tied legal tender for all debts, public and
private, and | doubt not that 1t will very
soon be quoted as the equal of gold. page
1861
We might continue at great length
extracts from this interesting discus
sion, where the reader may find paro-
died every statement that is made to-
day. We have said enough to show
that our correspondent is completely
in the wrong. While the thoroughgo-
ing free coinage men in the house were
dissatisfied with the senate's amend
ments, and while they took this bill
under compulsion, which is something
that nobody has questioned, the fact,
that almost every one of them did
take the ground that the passage of
this act would raise the commercial
value of the silver dollar to a parity
with gold. When you challenge the
judgment of Caesar, 1t is a good thing
to go on the whole record and not upon
a piece of 1t.
