In speech before the Bjmetallic Clul
Of Columbus, Ohio, the other night
General Warner gave utterance to the
following forcib!e statements:
.sThe problem before us is how to re.
cover ourselves from changed conditions
The difficulties which must be overcome
are increasing. The gold standard has
been established in Russia and Japan.
You may look any day for another step
in India. Gold will continue to rise,
and prices will fall. Our task is be
coming harder.
.'To restore pros perity in this country,
you must get down nearer the soil. #
the prices Of products continue to fall
and money to rise, think what will soon
be the result. By the time we have a
population of one. hundred millions,
less than five per cent. will have all the
wealth.
"You canrot have high order of civ
ilization when wealth is concentrated in
to few hands.
"What we want is not so much to
start the mills, as 70 start the markets.
"When everybody is employed. you
can't keep wages down; when only half
are employed, you can't keep wages up.
"In the last year, we exported $780,
100000 more than we imported, CT
goods and manufactures. That did not
balance our account. We are now ex
porting gold to balance up.
'Our policy for years has been to in
crease the value of that which we agree
to pay, and lower the value of that which
we have to pay with. =
"The Democratic party has taken its
position, I believe, to stay. there. You
must do your part to make it stay there.
81 have been in recent conversation
with some of the leaders. I think can
say there will be no turning back from
the plough, for mere party ends"
James Creelman, the noted New York
correspondent, has been viewing the po-
litical situation in Ohio the past few
weeks and thus telegraphs the New
York Journal:
$50 great are the chances for an over
whelming democratic victory in Ohio
this year that wenty-eight candidates
for governor are now in the field. The
wave of Organism that is sweeping
through Ohio just now is astonishing.
Mr.. Bryan Is: absolutely idolized and
the power and prestige Of his name
grows as the story of industrial and ag-
ricultural misery spreads.
Eugene Debs, promoter of the social
democracy Of America, which has for its
object the organization of cooperative
commonwealth somewhere in the west,
has addressed the following letter to
Millionaire John D. Rockefeller:
The purpose of our organization is to
supplant the present cruel and immoral
and destructive system by the co-opera-
tive commonwealth, under which mil

products of an abnormal civilization,
will disappear together, and the brother
hood of man viii; be ushered in, to bless
and beautify the world.
In Chicago alone, in which the univer-
sity which bears your name stands, mon
umental of the triumphs Of labor and
the fabulous wealth of the country, s.
900 families are practically homeless,
and 1000 honest workingmen are verg-
ing on starvation. If you think this
statement an exaggeration, beg that
you may come here, and Twill arrange
to have them assemble on the lake front
and there under the common sky, their
only shclter-their emaciated faces and
tattered garments may bear testimony tc
the haggard truth Of mans inhnman1ty
to man.
