WHY THEY FAVOR II.
Farmers, Laborers, Tradesmen - An
Believe BimetallIsm In Good
Enough for Them.

You find a farmer that favors bimet-
allism, and you ask him why. he says:
1T is good for me-" The farmer is not
worrying about somebody else-he has
troubles enough of his own.
Find a laboring man who fayors BIZ
metallism, and he says he is for 1t be-
cause it is good for himself. Find
business man who favors bimetallism,
and he tells you it is because ii is good
for himself. They all believe it is good
for others also, but they believe first
it is good for themselves. The farmer
tells you that he has found that under
the rising dollar and falling prices his
income is diminished, but that his taxes
and his interest and his debts and fixed
charges do not fall.
The laboring man tells you that when
dollars are rising in value it is more
profitable to hoard money and get the
rise in value than it is to invest il and
run the risk of falling prices. And the
business man tells you that he makes
his money not out of those from whom
he borrows, but from those to whom
he sells, and he tells you that if they
cannot buy, he cannot sell; he tells YOU
that when he has good trade he has
no trouble in borrowing money, but
when he has no trade, then nothing will
keep the sheriff from coming and turn
ing him out of doors to protect the de-
positors in the bank.
He understands that prosperity comes
up TO him from his customers, and he
believes that bimetallism is good be-

he wants it because it is good for others.

financiers is troubled with lack of sleep

laboring men and go to work."-Wil-
