FrPPLEMIKT TO THE IfUP CITY NORTHWESTERN. Friday, October 8,1800. Whenever Danger Threatened the Country They Have Rallied to Its Support. HARD TIMES AND THE CAUSE. Employment of Labor in Mechanical Industries and Not Debased Money is Needed Whenever danger threatened onr insti tution the farmer has always rallied to She support of his country. There is good reason in this, in the fact that he ttvrus the broad acres of our territory and Is so identified with our institutions that protect him In this ownership that his In terest is necessarily of a character to make him the safe conservator of our government’s perpetuity, prosperity and honor. In the present campaign we arc con fronted by an issue that ufTccts every elosa of our citizens, hence, there is an -In sites Adllinttut Hint*#* intense than In any campaign since 18<)0. One reason for the manifestation for so much Inter est la the fact that the country has been ■offering from an unprecedented period •f depression ond i* earnest iu its intent to secure relief. Among those who la bor noue have more reason for com* plsint than the farmer. Prices of hla products have been low. values of land «»s stork have coutlnued to decline, ntil discouraged and disheartened, demagogues seem to believe bun ready to •ccept any promise that they make, but thefact i*. and Utter still, he is ready to review and discuss fully the merit* of the proposition* offered. '1 he proposition that ha* Item urged paramount to all others, is the free uud unlimited eoinugc ^Ther* never was a more deceptive proposition, on® inor® startling in its effects and results and on® that would be more disappointing should it become a practical fact. It 1* advocated by men having a tiecuniury interest at stake, backed by a combination of capital un •muled by any that has ever attempted to control our government since th® day of th® slave power. The silver mine owners of the United States, skilled In BsUtleal maneuvering, hare organised themselves into a syndicate for the pur pose of forcing upon the country, with out regard to consequences, the free and •■limited coinage of silver. ftw magnificent scheme tvas outlined hr Mr Bryan in hi* Madison square speech when he said: “At the present time snd under the present law, a silver dollar when melted loses nearly one-naif Its value, but that will not be true when wo can establish a mint price of silver r-A leave no surplus silver upon the market to drag down the price of sil ver bullion,” and then to show the pos sibility of cornering silver and forcing It to a price satisfactory to mine owners, **w# cannot even expect all of the an anal product of silver because India, China, Japan. Mexico and other ailver •aing countries must satisfy their annual need from the annual product; the arts wW require a large amount and the gold standard countries will need a consider able quantity for subsidiary coinage; we will be required to coin only that which is not needed elsewhere, but if we stand ready to take and utilise all of it, other nation* will be ready to buy at the priee we fix.” This 1» the silver miners’ scheme as outlined by Mr. Bryan. The people are Invited to loan the resources of this gov ernment to n silver syndicate in order that it may he able by taking all th* silver that Is offered to the world to fig the priee and compel other nation* to pay thut priee. Thia is worse than free and unlimited coinage, yet it is ihf only way Mr. Bryan says whereby th< price of silver can be maintained al parity with gold. The magnitude of tilt scheme and their audacity in attempt Ing its execution challenges admiration but the American people ure accustomci: to investigate the claim* of parties am inen. They want to know for theinseivei the why uud wherefores, if some proa radical change is proposed. That thej Will thus investigate and judge for them selves is evidence thut ihcy ure quuli Bed for self-government. ..a .......list. ..... .... 1. - .1 pecially mining tin- funning data, i verj tin# ualutitH.

The year 1N1*2 show* a rpeord of mar ▼clous Activity in the direction of semr ing a larger division of labor by cm ploying more in our mechanical Indus trie*. Our shop* were filling up. new enterprises were started, labor was la 1 demand at good prices in mechanical in ’ dustries, reciprocity was enlarging ami extending our markets and we seemed in every way to be realising for tin American farmer and artisnn the full value of that law of political economy and creating wealth by "division of la bor.” In 18ft2 the policy of protection was re versed and thus the laborer* from the shop* and factories were forced from sheer necessity to go out upon the lands and become producers instead of consum ers. It has liven estimated that over a million Inborcra hare since the election ol JHirj when compelled to seek employ ment in farming in order to obtain sub sistence for themselves and families; many of these have converted parcels of ground near and around their homes into corn and potato patches, thereby enormously decreasing the demand for the products of the regular farm. It I* easy to understand when the full effect of this shifting of labor from the mechan ical industries to the fnnn is considered, what the effect must be upon prices of farm product*. In view of these facts, all of which can be verified in the past history of our country, it is plain that our farmers are directly interested in the employment of labor and that their prosperity depends largely upon whether that labor is em ployed as comiM-tltor* in the production of farm products, or ns consumers em ployed in the mechanical industries of the country. We are certainly learning from a severe practical cxjierlciire the truth oud value of the economic prim-lple nlicudy referred to that "the greatest creator of wealth Is the greatest possible division of Inleir.” We are also leuruing that this division of Inlior may be brought about by a wise policy of protec tion. The effect of production upon the products of the farm can be summed up in n few words. First, will it Increase or diminish the number engaged in pro ducing tin- products of the farm? Hec ond, will it increase or diminish the num ber of consumers of farm products? When you have answered these two plain propositions you will lie master of the entire argument of protection and free trade, so fur us the fanner is con cerned. You need he 'concerned !u no way about the free coinage of silver ns this cannot in any way possible in crease or diminish the consumption of your products. Its adoption, however, would bare the effect, as Mr. Bryan admits, of producing n panic and con tinued denression in our mechanical in dustries, forcing more intior to the farm and thereby add to the number already producing farm products. The employment of labor In our me chanical industries and not the free coinage of silver is the thing that (mer est* the farmer and is to secure for him the prosperity he so murh desire*.—-II. A. Willard, Chuttanooga, Teuu. NO MONEY IS TOOISOOI). MaJ. McKinley Recalls the Days of Stats Banka and Wildcat Currency. MaJ. McKinley said to a delegation from Indiana which visited bis home on September 23: I believe in America for Americans— native-born and naturalized. (Applause.) I believe in the American pay roll. (Laughter and applause.) And I do not believe In diminishing that pay roll by giving work to anybody else under an other flag while we have an idle man under our flag. (Tremendous applause.) Four years ngo the laborer was agitat ing the question of shorter hours. We then bad so much to go. I have heard no discussion of that kind for four years. (Laughter and applause.) But I have never heard of the laboring man dis cussing the desirability of having short dollars. The complaint—the chief cause of complaint of our opponents is first, that we have nbt enough money; and, second, that our money is too good. (Laughter.) To the first complaint I answer that the per capita of circulating medium in this country hns been grentei since the so-called crime of 1873 than il ever was before (applause), and that it has been greater in the last five yean than it ever was in all qur history. (Criei of “That’s right. ) We have fiot oiiTj the best money in the world, but we hav< more of it per capita than most of th( nations of the world. (Applause.) W< have more money per capita than tin United Kingdom per capita: than Ger many, thun Italy, than Switzerland Greece, Spain, ltounmuia, Servin, Aus tria, Hungary, Norway, Sweden. I>en inurk, Uussin, Mexico and the Centra and South American states, and mon tlinn Japan or China. (Great applause. So thnt some reason rather than the laid of volume of money must lie found ti account for the prcscut condition of th country. To tlie second complaint that ou money is too good, it would seem to b enough to say that the uiouey of an, country cannot lie too good; and tha no iinlion ever suffers from linvlug it i medium of ezchnnge of tile highest am > I test quality.

Working Women will Also be Far Worse Off Than the Men. While the value of the wage* earned by everyone who worka for a living will be greatly reduced by the free coinage of allver, tbe working women will be far worae off in tbia reaped than tbe men. Tbeir wagea will not probably be re duced in a greater ratio than tbe wagea of tbe men, but they will atand a poorer chance of securing an advaucc to meet the increased cost of living. They will have to submit to tbe hardship of high prices and low wages with less hope of remedying their condition. One principal cause of this disadvant age is that the women employed in prt> ductive industries have not the organized unions with which to sustain tbeir inter ests. The great advunce In the wages of labor, especially of skilled labor, which lias been made during the puHt twenty years, is due in large measure to the intelligent organization of the work ingmen. It ia git error to regard the IabSr unions as the machinery for pro ducing strikes and boycotts. Properly and sagaciously conducted, these organ! ZUlIOIlS ure jiiTtvumv 'n « veraies, for they urovide the mean*} of conference and adjustment of questions on which there ia disagreement between employer* and workmen; and especially when the question ia that of increase of I wages they huve been effective in secur ' ing n proper recognition of what is due 1 to labor as it* share iu the compensation i of production. * The wages of women worker* have, ‘ indeed, advanced aloiig with those of men, though not to a corresponding tig r ure, and the laimr unions huve regard * in some degree for the wages of female operatives us well; hut the lack of or* l ganizutions of their own will leave the 1 thousands of women workers In mu 1 mniiufueturiug Industries at u marked ' disadvantage if their wage* should lie | cut down in value by the free coinage of silver und the consequent depreciation * of th*. money iu which they are paid. 1 In this respect, as always, it is the weaker that must ls-ar the greater share of the burden; nud the struggle to bring 1 wages up to a living rule alter free coin age lias reduced them by tierhaps one r half of Ittelr purchasing value would Is '' long und weary f»r tbe working wmu en.

Free silver on the basis of the present value of tli* two metals, would rob every widow ol half the money value coming to hei from the insurance carried by her hus band. And this would lie a stupendous rob l»ery indeed. The five Mursachusetti life insurance companies of which sta tistics are given in the commissioner') report, paid $4,037,388 in death claim) last year. The grand total reported ol all life fnsnrance companies doing busi ness in this state was $00,851,477. Can the women, for whose benefit most of thi# insurance money was paid, regard with equanimity the loss of $33,000,000 In one year? There are millions of wom en dependent upon the paymeut of such policies. The Massachusetts companies had 122,000 policies in force last year, calling for $322,874,022 in cate of death. The grand total, including all companies, was 1,743,350 policies, amounting to the enormous sum of $4,795,083,804. Right here in Masacbusetts there ia $287,910, 409 at stake in this way. In addition to all these there are the assessment life inaurance companies, with 39,329 certificates in force, repre 1 seating $98,522,457; the fraternal bene heiary associations, with a memhershir of 854,050, which paid out $10,003,05? for 10,009 death claims last year; thi casualty companies, which paid oul $300,301. Ail these, which are primari ly for the relief of widows and orphans, would have to pay in depreciated uionej I under free silver. But the money in which the premium) on these policies have been paid i) uioaey as good as gold, worth 100 cent) on the dollar. In Massachusetts alom lust year $10,740,807 was thus paid.

Appropriate I iiu.tmlon from l.lncoln. “I cannot omit here to make a quota tion from Mr. I.lpeoln, written to the young men of Illinois on June 22, 18-18. Mr. Lincoln said: ‘Now as to the young men. Yon must not wait to lie brought forward by the older men. You young men get together, form a “rough and ready club, and huve regular meetings and speeches. Take in everybody yon enn get. Am yon go along gather up all the shrewd, wild boys about town, whether Just of age or a little under age. Let everyone play the part he can play best. Home speak, some sing and all holler. (tlreat laughter.) Your meetings will lie of evenings. The old er men and women will go to hear you and see you. It will not only contribute to the election of Old Zach. but it will lie interesting pastime and improving to the intellectiiui faculties of all en gaged. I to fiat fail to do this.' (Great applause.) "I commend these homely words of Mr, Lincoln to the young men of the country. Hitch organizations ns he ad vises will have powerful influence in the political contest which is now upon us. They will not only inspire the young men, but will cheer the heart* of the old guards of the Republican party. I Applause.) It is seldom given to the first voters of this country to start in so important a national contest, where so much is iiivoi.cd. and where so many in terests nre at stake. It is a year, too, when old party divisions count for lit tle; when men of all parties are united in the common object to save the coun try from dishonor and its currency from degradation. II is always snre, young gentlemen, to nmingc yourself on the side of your country. (Applause.) It is always wise to tytatid against lawlessness and repudi ation. (Renewed applause and cries of •'That's right.”) It is always patriotic lo stand against those who are opposed to law and order, and who would raise artificial harriers between classes or sec tions in the I'tiitcd Hlntcs. (Great ap plause.) I congratulate you upon the glorious opportunities you liHVr. and, ap-i predating those opportunities. I am surd^. you will use them for the welfare of the people and the glory of the country, (Cheers.) Further Iteferenee to Mints anil Mills, "My fellow citizens, I ventured a few weeks ago to suggest in a public speech that I made that it would be I letter to open the mills than to open the mints. (Great cheering and erics of "That's right.”) I see that some of our political adversaries criticise the statement, say ing that it is 'pulling the cart before the horse.’ They seem to think that the way to open tiie woolen mills, for example, is to start a yardstick factory. (Great laughter ami applause.) They forget that you must make cloth before you ■ can measure it (renewed laughter) and that the weaver n>n«t be employed before tiie yardstick is required. (Applause.) Hut they say the yardstick is too loag. S' I answer if you make a yardstick nine teen inches long instead of thirty-six 8? inches, its present length, you will not ip; increase the output of cloth or its value ip or give an additional day’s labor to an , American weaver. (Great applause.) j*.. Nor will a f»2-cent dollar increase our in- “ dustrial enterprises, add to the actual earnings of anybody, or enhance the real value of nuyfhing. (Great applause and cries of “That’s right.”) It will wrong labor and wreck values, and has dope so wherever it has been used.
