in cheaper prices for our sup
plies, and the other half repre-
sents the robberies of trusts
through extortionate prices for
what passes through their

Free silver, now,
Twill restore prices on our
products, by raising values
abroad.
2.-It willenable us, by reason
of higher prices for our exports,
to pay our debts and eventually
save the interest charges.
Sit will increase the demand
for labor by reason of higher
prices for products, put every
body to work at good wages
and stop the losses to the coun-
try arising from enforced idle
ness.
And the competition that will
spring up under a sufficient VOL
ume of money will assist in
knocking out the trusts and al
low the people to keep in their
pockets what the trusts now
steal.
Free silver, in short, means
that while the cost of living may
be increased to the extent of
81, OOO,0OO,OO0 for the whole
country, about 10 per cent of
what our total earnings will be
under free coinage, our earnings
will be increased from five to ten
billions, a clear gain of four bill
lion dollars to the business and
industrial interests OF the United
States.

Yet we are told that the wage
Garner is receiving more dollars
and better dollars for his labor than
ever before.
So much for wages. Now re-
member that before the dehase-
ment of silver i'm 1878, working
men were all employed and at full
time; now, after % years Of gold
standard with silver bullion
down to So cents on the dollar,
two-thirds are employed only
three-fourths of the time on an
average. In other words, where
a carpenter in 1878 was earning
So per day for 800 days in the
year or 5000 a year, he is now
earning only 1925 per day for
225 days in the year, and one
third of them have no jobs at all
in sight or have had to get down
in the ditch and compete with
unskilled labor shoveling dirt for

An Enormous Sum.

In the st. Louis Republic of re-
cent date, j. S. writes and asks the
following queshons: @What was the
amount paid for pensions up to 1862"
and the answer to the query Is, as
follows:
3The history of the nations of the
earth do not show a case where those
who fought for and helped to save
the government we're treated with
such hberality as has been displayed
towards the veterans of the civil war.
The number Of pensioners on the
roll in 1895 was 97O,524. while between
1861 and 1895 no less than 1886, 191
persons, soldiers, sailors and their
widows and orphans, received more
or less of the bounty of the govern
ment. The total plumber OF claims
presented between 1861 and 1895 was
2,tll, 800, while the enormous sum of
s. 1865, 235,077 has been disbursed by
the Pension Office to claimants for
the Governments bounty in this di-
rection. The annual payments of
pensions have varied from S79O,3S4
in 1862 to S128, 1882 in 1893. The
payments last year amounted TO SI4O,-
959,36l."

More Mckinley Prosperity.

KANSAS CRY. Mo, Nov. 3O.-The
Missouri National Bank closed it's
doors this morning owing to heavy
Withdrawals by the principal de-
positors. The deposits are $780,
600. The bank was classed as one
OF the strongest in the southwest.
The following notice was placed on
the door: @By order of the directors,
this bank has been closed, and is in
the hands of the Comptroller" This
action was precipitated by the with
drawal Of S50,O0O in one lump by
Helm, wealthy local brewer, whose
action was quickly followed by others
The last statement issued by the bank
showed deposits of sl,56l 900 cash
and exchanges of $4,000. In the
panicof July, 1893, the Missouri Ma.
tional was one of the lc cal institutions
to go under, but it soon reopened,
The bank had been open today just
one hour when the Comptroller took
charge. The officers we're too ex-
cited to make a statement.

will take % years to dispose Of the
product of these $4,000 acres.
