The "Croel Game of the Money Classes'' Mutt B Defeated by tht Wita of American Farmer. Strong Lancttaffe From Strong Men The following are extracU from a a few of the able letters on the financial situation lately written by the cbam- pioae of fi nance reform: A VOICE FBOM ENGLAND Mr. Lacy Everett a member of the English parliament has written a letter to a gentleman in New York City In which he says: "The feeling of many friends of free coinage of both metals In England, both to be full U'iral tender, li etiODC against the action of the government at to India, we look aoxiously now to hi what the United States will do We earnestly hope that free col a age at vae same ratio win be America s ana war. The one great supreme aim of the moneyed classes and the London press Is to restrict the supply of money o as to enrich the owners of It at the -expense of the raisers of produce and the ' owners of land and other real property. We hope your people. In the lain nation of producers and land owners, will see through this cruel game of the money classes and frust rate It The miseries of the Bfirrlcul tural classes here are Indescribable, but they do not see clearly why It is that prices are forced down to their ruin, so It Is difficult to get them to more. The wits of the American farmerre sharp er. I hope our salvation will come from .; you." A VOICE FROM THE SOUTH Senator Vance of North Carolina recently wrote a letter to a prominent alliance man of that state in which he states his position as follows. "The preservation of silver ai a part or our currency is one ei tne most vital or all tne issues wnlcn tne people have been caned upon to decide for half a century. ' The enemies of silver money have displayed a wonderful sagacity In weir tactics, i nougnscatterea tnrougn out the civilized world they have obeyed ft single voice from ' head quarters In London. Prom New York the word comes Mown the line to all American capital and response is lm mediate. What Is known as the Sher man law Is the only legislation on our statute books wblch bind us to the use of sliver, and the cry is raised for its repeal under various 'pretenses, all equally false. The banks, stock brok ers, bondholders, chambers of com merce, et Id omne genus, clamor for its repeal and urge the calling of an extra session of congress to assemble and sit during the dog days for that purpose alone. Tariff repeal, which formed the chief issue of the past campaign, Is thrust to the rear and the interest of capital is placed in front, to be dealt with uader the demoralizing conditions of a fraudulent panlo created by capital Itself and called by Mr. Ingersoll "the banker's panto." Many years ago, after a thorough and Impartial an examination of the question as I was capab'e of making, I same to the absolute conclusion that the use of silver as well as gold, on equal terms, as the basis of our currency was beet for the welfare of the people of the United States. This view has governed my course in congress Recent developments which seem to have unsettled so many silver advocates and, made them give way to. the repeal of the Sherman law.has rather strength ened me in the determination to yield, nothing to the mono-metal lists, wbose schemes I regard as absolutely selfish and unpatriotic. The "panic" so in dustriously advertised, Is known now to bave been created by them; and will be known hereafter as the rloh man's panlo Finally, I hope It Is unnecessary for ma to aay that the hope of logratiatlng myself with the administration la order to secure patronage at Its hands, of silver could advocate such a policy. If we ever intend toe free cuiuajr. of silver in this country we must war for It now right now. A VOICI FROM THE EAST. Mr. Wharton B trker, a leading banker and financier of Philadelphia has written a letter to Grover Cleve land to show that the creditor class of England is behind the effort to demone tize silver. The following Is part of his letter: These combinations, tantamount to conspiracies, have been going on for years, and the conspirators expect to wia now because of tne acknowledged power of money when skillfully and un- rcrupulously employed. Tne elections are ao longer free from the use of money for In some sections of the country there Is open debauchery of voters. Both political parties are under control of the money classes, and the people only .confirm nominations made in conventions dictated to by the capitalists or by subsidized politicians: The Unltod States has lost a great opportunity to force England and uer many into bimetallism because she has been led bv tne class or men wno are influenced by money and the desire of their own aggrandizement, one must now elect between bankruDtcv and slavery on toe on side, and eass and independence on the other.

The proper ratio of gold and silver is being much discussed st the present time, so much in fact that even The State Journal has thrown expediency to the winds and editorially expressed an opinion on the matter, and the tendency In some quarters' appears to be to base tbe amount of silver that should enter into a dollar of that metal on the actual market value of silver at tbe present time. guise of a John Sherman or a Hathaway 1 . t " . . r . . .

A dollar coined nn ftisa tiaaiti ' an jrroatorl hv tha Trmtnai containing all the silver bullion a gold dollar would boy at the present time would not meet the case, because it would be so large and cumbersome that tne Inconvenience of Handling would drive it out of use as a money, and by that means keep the relative prices of gold and silver at about what they are now; but a smaller dollar, one that Is not so bulky as to be burdensome, would enter into circulation to an extent that would so deplete the present stock of sil ver bullion that the metals would find their true level. Tub Unionist believes that If the silver dollar was even smaller than at present and was made the equal of gold in coinage and debt paying rowers It would be so much more plentiful on ac count of Its convenience in handling that tne value of sliver as a commodity would De materially greater tnan It nas been in the recent past. I be Journal In Its article referred to above, throws out a sop to (he working- men as follows: The first class to suffer In a deprecla tlon of the value of currency is the labor ing man who workt for fixed wages, and the clerk who serves for a fixed salary. Tbe bankers sna brokers, tne importers and manufacturers can shift for them selves in a slump of that sort, but the Industrial world unds no short turn in Its lane by which It can avert losses by marking up the price of stock on hand and raising the interest on loans and charging bigger fees for services. The wages of labor are the last to be ad- Justed In times of financial upheavals, lbs greatest safety to labor Is perman ancy in the purchasing power of the me dium in wnicn isoor is paid. The Journal Is in error, as usual. I he first to gain In the event of what It de nominates "a depreciation of the value of currency" is toe workingman. The only depreciation the Journal takes Into consideration is tnat. causad by an In creasca supply. If there Is danger of any sncn depreciation tne man wno is bearding money hastens to Invest It in real estate, In Improvements and in the production of manufactured articles. This furnishes employment and employ ruent turnisnes wages. "The bankers and brokers can shift for themselves in a slump of tnat sort," says tne journal, "by raisins interest on loans and charging bigger fees for services." This presumes that the wages of the workingman are fixed ror an time ana tnat tney are now as high as they would be In time of a plentl ful supply of money. That this is wrong needs no argument to prove, ine work ingman has formed the habit of reaching for what be considers to be h's own, and In the event of bet'er times he will see that his modicum is increased In the ratio with bther thing. "The greatest safety to labor Is perma nency In tne purchasing power of the medium in whicn labor Is paid." Ibis, as Muff old Sam Cary was fond of ex pressing It, Is good theory but d d poor fact. It does not take into considera tion the fact that to get wages work must be had and that a scarcity (or "perma nency") of money Is always accsmpantrd by stoppage of the industries which fur nish employment to labor. The people for whom the Journal Is raUy shedding thee tears Is,, we will admit, benefited by a money stringency. The banker or the cupttalist who has his money Invested In s ich a manner that It brtr gs him a certain stated income la beented, and be is the only one who Is. A man wno nas a certain Income of say 12.010 1 er year will cerVdnly lie the lxu-nciary if money is so increased In value that a dollar of his Income will buy two bushels of wheat where form erly It would buy but one, but the benefit nd to the man wbonUrs to the man whose Income depends upou the amount of employment ha ran secure. Th Journal's at Unapt to apply this piinrlple to labor will tall Hat font th fact that the argument upon which It bsses Its coeclusioo at silly that the most obtuse can see lie fallacy at a glaove.
