MR.. BRYAN TOLD YOU.
Prophetic Predictions of the MeEa-
phonic POpocrnt in
1896

Mr.. Bryan told you in 1896, didn't
he, that if Mr.. Mckinley was elected
there would be less and less money
in circulation every year? We de-
feated Mr.. Bryan. He was absolutely
wrong about the circulation. Here
are the official figures of the treas
ury department.:
1896 1887. 1898 1893.

people than ever before.

LABOR AND CAPITAL.
An Instance In Which They Coop.

vantage.

There are millionaires and million
| aires.
There is the case of Mr.. Matthew
Z. d. Borden, a millionaire mill own
er, OF Fall River, Mass. widely known
among his friends and in that town
as Matt" equally well regarded by
the millionaires of the dry goods dis
trict' of New York. It was ques-
ton in Fall River whether. on ac-
count of the slack demand for GER
tain kinds of prints, certain of the
mills should not close down. Mr..
Borden thought not. 1t was he, by
the way, who had a year OF more ago
! taken the lead in raising the pay of
his employees some ten per cent, thus
causing all the other mill owners of
Fall River to follow suit. This time
he said that production ought not to
stop, that the mills ought to be kept
going, that the men ought to be con-
tinued to be paid if there was any
way to do it. He saw a way. Per-
haps he figured that there was no
great element of risk in the transac-
ton; yet if there was any. he took it
freely. He ordered some $500, 900
worth of cotton goods, SO that there
is no reason why there should be in
Fall River any disquieting labor situa-
ton. for long time to come.
We believe that there is deep lesson
in this thoroughly patriotic action on
Mr.. Borden's part for all large en-
ployers. The matter of employing
somebody, and equally the matter of
working for another, is just as much a
process of giving and taking as the
simplest or the most complex of bust
ness transaction of any kind.
No one can do all the work; no one
can make all the money. No employer
can make more than certain percent
age of the money. or, if he tries to do
SO. other capitalists, equally solid finan-
cially and equally brainy, will step in
and cut his profits down. The employe
can by no process obtain more than he
ought TO have, more than the business
man will stand, for the employer will
simply shut down rather than continue
long to run at a loss. In a word the
capitalist cannot have anything better
than fair thing. He is fool to ex-
pect it, and the laborer. on the other
hand, cannot get more than the bust
ness will stand, though be ought in
every case to have what he deserves.
1t is easy to argue from this point,
and we believe that nobody will deny
that the better employers and en-
ployes understand one another, not
merely getting better acquainted per-
sonaliy, but understanding what self
respecting, ambitions employee wants,
and expects, and deserves, and appre-
ciating, on the other hand, that the
capitalist must turn his money over,
mNst make something, deserves some
thing. deserves especially well on ac-
count of the risk and worry he is I'M
der-when all this is understood, we
should be on the verge at least Of the
millennial period, when there would
never be strike or a lockout, because
there would never be cause for one.

Gently made a remarkable statement

Other roads in the south and
southwest make a similar showing.
The southwestern roads had gross
earnings of S6,5s4,2G5 in August, 1895,
and the same roads showed gross
earnings of So,s5s, 4O5.. Yet the av-
erage rate of freight was less per ton
mile (the cost of carrying one ton
of freight one mile) and passenger
rates We're less. The increased BUSH
ness of these roads clearly demor-
strates the difference between gem
eral activity of business under the re-
publican doctrine of protection, and
democratic depression.

REV. SAM JONES ON TRUSTS.
"eaith ana Brains Combined Do
Much for the Good of the
People.

The large trust and combinations
already formed and being formed bv
aggregations of capital are considered
hurtful to the masses and the COM
mon people. This is theory. Theo-
retically, thing may be SO, and prac-
tlcaily 1t may be very untrue. When
we speak of trusts and combines we
think of the Standard Oil trust, the
sugar trust, the tobacco trust, etc.
When the Standard Oil trust was
formed was paying 40 cents a gallon
TOT kerosene oil: / am getting it now
for ten cents gallon. I was paving
l2Ha cents for sugar several years ago,
but when the combines set in we got
it at sA. When the whisky
trust was organized was in hopes it
would put up whisky where the poor
devils couldn't get it, but they have
seemed to cheaper that down to
where they can pay the government
S1.10 gallon revenue on it and vet
sell it for s1.27. which demonstrates
that they are making it and letting
the public have it at about 17h cents
a gallon, including the barrel.
There is no doubt about the aggre.
cation of wealth, with brains con.
trolling it, that they can manufacture
any article cheaper than it is or has
been manufactured on small scale.
l have watched the progress of events
and the professions as they marched.
have yet to know of a single in
stance where combines and trusts hurt
the masses or permanently raised the
price of any product. "-Rev. Sam P,

Dividends md Prosperity.

The Daily Stakeholder of New York
has published statement which shows
that dividends to the amount of $751;
100000 were paid by different railway
and manufacturing concerns. On Oc-
tober L, 1896, the same combines paid
S35,000,O0O. The difference in the earn
ings means that more men were en-
ployed, more wages paid and that the
farmers had more supplies to furnish
to the army of wage-earners. 1t is a
case of prosperity all around.
