HIGHER PRICES.

We find much said OF late about the
effect that the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of Is to | would have on the
laborers or wage earners. The wage
earners are told by those who oppose
Mr.. Bryan that If prices go up, they
will have TO pay those advanced prices
for the articles they must buy, and
consequently they will be worse off
than they are at present.
The arguments that are used are
arguments against better times, for all
will admit that better times is only
another way of expressing advanced
prices for various articles including
labor and the things produced by
labor. If the laborer and wage Garner
is afraid of higher prices. then he is
afraid of better times.
There is an inter-dependence and
relation between employer and employ
ed that cannot be overlooked in any
sound discussion Of the question. If
times get better and prices higher, the
employer can afford and will pay
better wages. But even if wages do
not rise as suddenly as the prices of
articles which the wage Garner must
buy, yet the benefit to labor is still
very great. Thousands will be EN-
ployed when prices are higher and
sales brisk who are to-day idle. This is
a factor too often overlooked To the
man with fat job perhaps the i'm
mediate rise of price of articles which
he consumes would place him tempo.
rarily in a worse condition than at
present but that would only he for a
short time, till wages would seek the
level of the higher plane of prices.
But to those who are out Of employ
ment, or who are ground down TO
bread and butter wages, the rise in
prices would be an immediate relief.
Wages will seek the level of prices.
Molasses, as well as water will seek its
level. The one is slower in motion
than the other, but none the less
certain.
Take the case Of farm labor to day.
l. il not fact which the experience
of every farmer will bear out that the
wages paid for farm labor to-day have
not yet fallen TO the level of the great
slump in prices of farm products dur
ing the past eight years. Yet they
must cone to the lower point gradual.
ly unless farm products increase in
price.
The argument that is put up against
the free coinage of silver, that il will
raise prices, is an argument for, and
not against it. Any evils which il will
bring, will be present during any
transition from hard times TO prosper
Gus times.
Now let those who discuss this
question at least be fair in the matter.
We want better times. All agree to
that. Then why oppose prosperity with
arguments which are seemingly plausi-
bic, but which are in fact wholly mis-.
leading.-Bet Air Lgis.

MAINE went Republican by big
majority, as we predicted last week
would be the case. The result Of the
four State elections already held show
that in Democratic States the Demo-
cratic ticket has been elected by in
creased majorities and in Republican
States the Republicans have elected
their candidates the same way Add
up the majorities of the two parties
and you will find the Democracy and
free silver several thousand ahead of
Republicanism and a gold standard.

Farmer!

The farmers, and especially the men
who till their own acres. are our great
conservative class. They dread revolu-
ton. They love their country with an
imprisoned ardor born Of close con-
tact with the soil-an ardor Of patrio-
tism which some writers have thought
impossible in men reared in cities.
Naturally, therefore, the northern
farmers stood by their government in
the great civil war The Republican
party was in power and acquired an
immense prestige by the successful
issue of the conflict. Naturally again,
therefore, the great majority of farm
ers credited all good things To that
party. They could not believe that
the party of Lincoln and Sumner and
other friends of humanity would do
aught of injustice.

a Simple Fact.


"But is not the money question too
complicated for farmers to master it in
the brief time between this and the
election -
Not at all. In its present shape in
deed it is singularly simple. 1t can be
reduced to two or three plain ques-
tions. perhaps to one, and that is. Has
silver deprecated or gold appreciated
since 1873? On their answer to that
depend the votes of a million honest
farmers. Monometallists say gold has
stood still while all other things have
cheapened. We say that silver has
stood almost unchanged while gold
has advanced enormously in value,
and, what is more, we prove it by
every line of reasoning which can be
applied to the subject. That silver is
by natural law far more stable in
value than gold has been proven from
geology, from mineralogy, from metal
lurgy and still more by comparing the
fluctuations of prices in different coun-
tries having the different standards or
in the same country at different times.
Every one of the tests has yielded
exactly the same result. The fuctua-
tons since the principal nations adopt
ed the gold standard have exceeded
all previously known. But here is a
simpler test which the farmer can
easily apply for himself
Take the average of prices in your
neighborhood for the five years ending
in 1875 Git is not fair to take one

back value of ten ounce bar of
silver at that time. Divide and see
what that silver would have bought.
DO the same thing for the five years
ending with 1895, and you will find
that the silver will buy more. Is it not
arrogant and insulting nonsence TO
say that the silver has deprecated

CLEVELAND ADVISED AcoUIEscENcE
Letter to President Crespo of Venezuelan
Republic.

4New York, December ga special
from Caracas to the journal says: The
government Tuesday published a personal
letter from President Cleveland to Presi-
dent Orespo in regard to the Guiana
boundary treaty, which has been agreed
upon between Mr.. Olney. the American
secretary of state and Lord Salisbury,
the British minister.
The reply of President Crespo is also
published and the Venezuelan public has
thus been made aware of the steps that
led up to this country's acquiescencs in
the arrangement.
In his letter. Mr.. Cleveland commended
the terms of the treaty to the chief
executive of Venezuela and with many
expressions Of international courtesy ad-
vises its acceptance as the best posnible
solutionss to all concerned OF the long,
pending question.
President Crespo answers in cordial
but diplomatic terms. He expresses the
gratitude of his government and people
towards the United States, and adds the
belief that the Congress.of..V Venezuela will
undoubtedly give the treaty the attention
that 1t deserves. Minister Andrade and
Attorney Storrow, who has been charged
with Venezuela's interests in this mat
ter. will leave for New York on Thurs
day.
