RD1NAL nim.nini jo (Continued From First foge.) 1 : tald and done, beneath all these sat questions lies the primal truth it prosperity depend on the oondi a o( our laboring people. Labor in a tural condition, and is eujoloed by di jt law as well. II there Is any power long the forces of man, It theru is any. 'zg more than another to which civill Ion and humanity ore indebted, out a of divinity Itself, It Is to labor. Ac rdlng to Ibbilciil history, labor was ;t Imposed upon man a a punish, at. It was evening in Kdn, and the ot Ood had been broken; the great- court that ever sat on earth was in dou. Tho Indictment bad been read and the Of guilty entered, and God passed Tteiice on Adam that 'the earth shall l barren; thorns and -thistles shall It 5C forth; In the sweat of thy lace ;t thou eat bread.' That was more n flv thousand years ago, while the Ah was young, Adam, tha flrst -s. and live, the first woman, when Mntsnce waa received, went forth to. r In the world and forever left be- J them the trailing vines, the frag--t flowers, the sparkling waters, the "u shades, the rest and repose, the .1 and the loveliness which belonged chosen spot on earin. aiio sbor then began, and during all l that nave iniervenea tiiouuin . .try baa not ceased, rtory records the battles of groat the achievements of mighty mis, aud tells of the rise and full of ijdoms, the birth and overthrow of tlons. Hut during all the yeurs we r'tzm little of the men wtio patiently -;k up the burdens of humble lire; ol t whose labor fed the world, of those ..a toiled In the darkness of the mines, -1 built the cities and reared the ity oastlea and proud palaces where -sand princes have taken shelter; of i nen who stood by the flaming forge 1 beat the heated Iron into shape. W, Indeed, are the pages dedicated to haeanse of human lahov Monamentii A enduring trranite and polished marble Ziy rise and mark the spot where a m t tie has been fought and won, or the eating place of some great leader or im " r!l King; but during all the centuries I rreat force of labor baa gone for- :J, not stooping to rear its monu t or mark the spot of ita ylctorles ' t ita achievements. "Labor needs no mouument of crumb '""' rtone or rusting iron to call the J to stop and read what she lies .x. Her handiwork Is everywhere t&raped upon the earth; it is written on tfca ages; her stalwart sons have reared Ca homes, from the humblest cottage to pretentious paluce, where man and wo- tuttn have bean sheltered fron the storm tii from the sun. They have built and tz rsed splendid fleet of commerce that (Ufety plow the deep; they have seixid t elements and made them servants of r will; they have bound together -rand rations with strong bands of ; ( ty have felled , the forests and I golden grain to grow aud ripen wild beasts roamed before; they jdjlved in mines and penetrntod the -' 'a of the earth and brought to -t her richest treasures; they have -lined with huge arches of stone the of the world. "it hi aad to contemplate that in every i and country, until recent times, , .ional labor was performed by men in : ,rvitude, not far removed from chattel r'avery. The works ot antiquity, the 1 'yptian pyramids, the wall of China. the classic remains of Athens aud of Rome, tell their sad tales of the labor ol th slave. Thanrat statute enacted In England, waa tlx hundred years ago making it a crime to ask for an increase tt wages, but slowly society accorded tie man who toils the privilege the Dec laration ot Independence declared to be the right of rich and poor, until man's power, 'like his work, Is everywhere, and at last the law has set apart a day ot the three hundred and sixty-five that constitute the year to be devoted to the cause of labor, "Like all classes, labor has advanced ita own conditions, and its progress has not always been tuarkea with pence, When we consider Its history, written In oppreasiou aud deeds ot wrong, is it a woader that at times tabor, patient as It la. baa shown signs ot dieoonteut? Hut she baa progreeeed und triumphed over obetaele, and the time will coma when mankind will recoguire that all men are brothers.

STATUS OF THE GREEN BACK. Glaring InooulUncy on the Honey Qucation Iu th Chloaso Platform. Populists and Democrats oppose the gold standard and Wall struct dictation. Both neck to permanently ovortorow u. am of the opinion that with the United States note (greenback) mloeruable in gold or coin it cannot be done. The power of the gold stundurd, wau street and Loudon dictation is in the vast mesh and web of public and private debt, created and intended to be perpet uated by an liiHuffloient money volume. The only direct measure of relief on the money qucHtion obtainable by law ii an inoroased volume In circulation. For this reason Democrats and Fopulista fa vor free coinage of silver. We Fopnlists favor adding a aufliuiont volume of United gtutcs notos to restore 'pricos, employ labor and auonre the payment of usury drawing debts, public and private. The greenback! wore when issued based "on the credit, of the united State,." They are still in law the same they cannot be redeemed now in law or retired from circulation, True, the gold standard influence ban a system of swapping dollars at the United States treasury and baa sot aside too 10 called reserve of $100,000,000 to redeem $340,- 000,000 of greenbacks. Hut a greenback n private buuds or in the Unitod States treasury is in law now money. The Chicago platform on tbatsubiooc uHtcad of advancing is on actual reced ing from tbo present legal stutua of the greenbacks. Tbo gold standard influence, in violation of law, would make thorn redeemable in gold, The Chicago plat form would make thorn legally redeem able in coin, and both or either position la a legal destrnction of the greenbacks. iUodoeMiable in coin, tbey arc more coin certificates, and the volnine of tbe cur rency of tbo country cannot bo increased by their nso. , To my mind the principle or toe nso of tbe Unitod Status notes based "on tbe credit of tbe United Status" is tbe most important measure aud principle nvulvud in tbe money question, itie olause making them "redeemable in coin" is inconsistent with all thereat of tbe Chicago platform on that ques tion. The platform gives the impression to the people that it favors more money. What would bo its effoct wliou enacted and enforced in law? First, tbe $346,- 000.000 greenbacks now in existence not redeemable in gold or coin (to bo re tired) would then have to be retired and a now issue that were so redeemable put in thoir place. Next, to carry ont tbe platform the national banks are to be abolished and tbeir (about) $200, 000, 000 notos also retired, to bo also re- laced with United States notes redeem able in coin, in all amounting to $046,- 000,000. And to carry out the platform that volumo could not be issued until the United States treasury bold coin on which to base and with which to re deem it. Under free coinage of silver the treat ory accumulates no coin. In tbe last campaign Mr. Bryan and all tbe advo cateaof free silver showed conclusively, in answering the theory that other na tiona would damp their silver bullion on us, that tbey would not and we would only have our own produot for coinage. Thus far it baa only been about f OO.- OOO.OOO per year for coinage purposes. At that rate it would take 1 1 years of free coinage to replace tbe contraction of tbe currency caused by making the greenbacks redeemable in coin and tbe abolition of tbe national banks, or five and a half years if we doubled our pro duction of silver bullion. How many votes would a reform candidate get on a platform of which that waa known to be the legal effect? Judge O. D.
