JAN BEYAN ANSWER?
HOW WILL. WAGE EARNERS BENEFIT
BY HIS COINAGE PLAN?
If the Prices of Cotton, Wheat, Porir, Beef
Aro Raised, Where Does the WoTAlng
mxa Come la? The Qaestloa E varied
la His Now York Speech.
Mr. Bryan's labored speech at the
Madison Square Garden is remarkable
for its failure to answer a question of
vital importance to the voters of this
section of the country. That question is,
How are the earners of wages and of
Ealaries to be benefited by a change in
the currenoy which is expressly intended
to raise the prices of cotton, wheat,
pork, beef and all agricultural and min
eral products?
Mr. Bryan declared, at tho outset of
his speech, that the fanners have lost
more than they have gained by the
gold standard, and asked significantly,
"What shall it profit us if in trying to
raise our credit by increasing tho pur
chasing power of our dollar we destroy
our ability to pay the debts already con
tracted by lowering the purchasing
power of tho products with which those
debts r"nst be paid?" Certainly, if the
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1 is going to make it easier to
pay debts with our agricultural products,
it is going to make it harder for tho
buyer of those products to buy them.
The nearest that Mr. Bryan came to
making the answer desired was when
he said that "while the gold standard
raises the purchasing power of the dol
lar it makes it more difficult to obtain
possession of the dollar," and "salaries
in business occupations depend on busi
ness conditions, and the gold standard
both lessens the amount and threatens
the permanency of such salaries. " Un
fortunately for him, these assertions are
untrue.
The country resumed specie payments
upon a gold basis on Jan. "1, 1879, and
it has ever since maintained them. We
appeal to tho individual experience of
our readers to decide whether, since
1879, wages and salaries have not risen
and Avhetlier it is auy harder .to get
them paid now than it was then. Speak
ing for The Sun, Tve assert with pleas
ure that wo are paying now higher
wages and higher salaries than wo were
in 1879 and aro employing more men.
As to other employers we will let statis
tics tell the stcry.
According to the census of 1880, the
year after the gold standard had become
supreme, the number of employees in
manufacturing establishments that year
was 2,732,595, and the aggregate wages
paid them was-$94?)953, 795, or-air av
erage of $324 each. In 1890 the number
of employees was 4, 712,022, their aggre
gate earnings were $2,283,210,529, and
the average earned by each was $488.
Here was an increase of nearly one-half
under a standard, which Mr. Bryan says
"both lessens the amount and threatens
the permanence" of- tho rewards of
labor.
Since the census of 1890 a committee
of the senate of the United States of
which Senator Aldrich was chairman
reported in 1894 upon the subject of
wages and prices, that in 21 selected
industries wages were in money 40 per
cent higher in 1880 than they were in
1860 and 60 per cent higher m 1891
than they were in 1860, while tho prices
of staple articles had fallen between
1880 and 1890 m some instances one-
third.
Of Mr. Bryan's repeated assertions
that under free coinage the silver dollar
will be equal in purchasing power to
the gold dollar it is, after this, unneces
sary to speak. We leave him to explain
to his western farmer friends how,
with the pound sterling worth in silver,
under free coinage, as it is now in gold,
only 4.86, they are going to get any
more dollars for tho wheat they export
than they are getting now, and how, if
they get no more for what they export,
they will get more for what they sell in
this country. Perhaps some of his bi-
metallist friends can help him out of
he dilemma. New York Sun.

In a speech made to his comrades of
the late war at Canton recently Major
McKinley saidr
No government can get on without
it preserves its honor. Lincoln pledged
it when in time of war we issued paper
money. He said, "Every dollar of that
money shall be made as good as gold,"
and it was left to Rutherford B. Hayes,
your old colonel, as president of tho
United States, to execute that promise
in the resumption of specie payments in
1879.
Today behind tho nation's honor are
70,000,000 freemen who mean to keep
this government and its honor and in
tegrity and credit unquestioned.

Colonel Wjn. F. Cody, "Buffalo
Bill,' and his great Wild West Ex
hibition and congress of rough
riders of the world, deserves the
attention of the pub
lic more particularly
than the ordinary per
ennial show, circus.or
other exhibition.
There are innumera
... ble entertainments re-
- A
lit&tfr year 0ut; but past ex
perience proves that the scope of
this colossal Wild West exhibition
is so vast that the assertion of the
management that its visit must of
necessity be few and far between
can be adjudged as strictly true.
It is eight years since it has re
visited any one of the larger cities,
exceptingfLondon, and still the de
mand for it increases in all coun
tries and all climes, as its dioramic
nature renders jt pleasing and in
structive to all tongues and all
countries. This present opportun
ity should not be passed by, for
there is no, telling when the Wild
West will return, if ever, as its
component parts are of such a
nature, and dependent upon such
peculiar circumstances, including
the unofficial assistance of nine
great governments, that the slight
est upheaval in the status of "peace
on earth, good will to men," could
interfere with if not absolutely pre
vent the collection again of such a
notable assemblage. After con
quering two continents with the
American contingent of native
horsemanship, the Indian scout
and cowboy, the management have
added renewed life to the subject of
primitive man and natural eques
trianism by bringing together all
the nomadic horsemen of the world,
and adding to them military civili
zation of horseback.
People will see at the Wild West
detatchments of Uncle Sam's Cav
alry, a sight as rare as it will be
a patriotic one, to behold these de
fenders of the flag dash on the
scene to the inspiring tune of
'Yankee Doodle," and bearing alott
the bright banner of the free -Old
Glory," in amicable alliance with
the banners of other great nations.
French, German, and English Cav
alrymen will be present in novel
spectacle which will be of interest
to the readers of books, the viewers
of paintings and illustrations, 'and
the perusers of history. The Arab
Cossack, Tarter, Indian, Cowboy,
Trr' -,ov ucaicu ycai m auu
the Yaqueros, and Gauclios are;
rare subjects known in song and
story, but never before brought to
gether in one exhibition. This
will form an ensemble that may
never be seen again and most as
suredly has never been seen here be
fore. This vast organization is
backed and managed by the exper
ience, energy, tact and resources of
Mr. Nate Salisbury, Mr. James A.
Bailey of the Barn u in & Bailey Show
and Colonel William F. Cody,
whose joint names constitute a
trade mark that justifies the esti
mation in which the subjuct is held
by all.
On this occasion the details will
be attended to by an auxiliary
corps so large as to insure every de
tail of personal comfort and con
venience to the auditor to view the
entertainment in the same magnif
icient magnitude of style. No
more can be said to enhance the in
terest that the subject should nat
urally arouse. The Wild West
will be here Monday October 12th.

DOLLARS
DOING
We might give you quite a a essay
on the silver dollar and gold dollar,
but we won't, not to-day. We'll only
speak of the plain, ordinary, every-day
dollar of trade as we get it and know
it, and spend it, whether it's gold, sil
ver, reaper or change.
And on thd line of argument pre
sented last week, we'll just drop a
word of-suggestion that any old dollar
will do double duty if you will deposit
it with us. We are opening new
goods every day, and in the course of
two or three weeks will be able to,place
before the people the finest assortment
of Dry Goods, Cloaks, Boots, Shoes,
etc., ever shown in the city.
