worth ten years hence: let him consid-

No matter what they say before
election, railroad and trust officials
must reduce wages or else the promis-
ed interest on fictitious capitalization
cannot be paid. Half-educated men.
loose thinkers. men who skim the sur
face, may expect to advance wages,
but ii is absolutely certain that wages

ization The entire production last
year of all farms and mines IN the
United States was $3600 900 De-
Quoting two-thirds as THE cost of pro-
duotion, and 81 ,2oa, 000, 0d0 is left as the
maximum applicable to interest. But
the twenty-five billions call Tor ST.

than the entire profit on production.
We dare any Republican leader to
say that he expects 20 collect from the
public. for this purpose an amount
greater than the profits on the oro0ue-
ton Of all farms and mines. Recol-
leet, there is annually collected $685.

enough TO train labor to work quiet
on scant food. OF course, wages can be
largely reduced il we become accustom-
ed to a government by injunction, Our
point is, that government by injunc-
ton is necessary TO train labor TO
work quiet on meat once a week, Our
point is that injunction viii never be

'1is true. labor is now employed, but
the cost OF living has increased % per
cent. and wages less than 10 per cent.
these flash times cannot possibly con-
tinue Economic laws work like the
laws Of nature Drought means siort
crops. War means taxation. Waging
war and Initiating the volume OF money
by 1870 millions creates temporary bus
mess activity, but not prosperity. You
can act rich for a time, II you mort
gage your home and sQuander your
money, but presently you will be worse
off than ever. If Mckinley is elected,
you will never hear OF taxing incomes,
but you will hear of reducing wages 70
pay interest on fictitious capitalization.

Thrift Follows ER~ning.
But. one feature must be consider
ed McKiniey's election will be ac-
cepted as conclusive that the money
power has this country in its clutches
and has grown too strong to be resist
ed Public men, of patriotic impulse,
being disheartened, cowed and silenced,
it viii be unaristocratic and unfashion-
able to antagonize anything the mill7
ionaire class propose. Legislatures and
Congress will be submissive and sub
Eservient to the money power. Ambi-
tious young men OF talent will then
confront the alternative of either
tracking to some financial magnate or
being excluded from the honors of life,
If the element managing for Mckinley
are defeated, patriotic impulse will be
anmuzzled and loyalty TO public i'm
terest become the ehibbolett to popular
favor.
