The " Full Dinner Pail" is an argu.
ment for the farmer as well as the city
laborer Who supplies what is put in
the pail: The farmer. If the city lab.
o-or has his wages cut in two by free
silver, and put ont of a job by the clos.
ing Of the mills, the farmer suffers
equally; for the farmers may give
away, but cannot sell, the products Of
his farm which the city laborer cannot
afford TO buy. 1t is because Of the full
dinner pail that the farmer is getting
so much better prices for what he sells
than ne could get before the election Of
Mckinley. lt is because of the full
dinner pail that he has paid off the
mortgages, and becomes lender of
money where he used TO be the borrower.
