We object to your selecting your

claim the honors you must also
assume the responsibilities.
But, seriously, no laboring man
regrets that wheat has advanced.
He realizes just what silver men
told him last year-that an advance
in farm prices would bring more
money in circulation, greater pros

employment and finally more wages.
That talk about cutting his wages in
two was all bugaboo. He sees il
