Wo havo ecen that the condition of American
workingine'u has vastly Improved slnca tho
days when we bad free coinage cf sllvur. It
has Un shown, also, that opening our mint
to colnago of sllvur on private account would
at onco send us to a siher basis. How would
this affect TPagcs nnd the men who cam them?
Every man who earns bis daily bread bv bis
dally tail owos it to himself and thoas whom
ha holds dear to think this over carefully.
Any man who, will examine daily quotations
ot prices ns ruixirtcd in the newspapers will
soon discover that they chango from day to
day nnd soiaottmes change very greatly in tho
course of a month. Hut every man who earns
wages is familiar ith the fact that they
chungo slowly, an increase of 10 per cent In a
vho earns
that tuoy
.Mint in ..
year uomg quiiu a gain, rncos cnango quicK
iy: wages change slowly.
Now let ns crunt wht.t tho advocates of freo
silver claim that going tq thu silver basis
would "double the prices of commodities."
Does any workingman believe that wages
ironld bo doubled too? Even if they should
ic, how much would the wage earner profit
y the chango? No Intelligent workingman
believes for u minute that bis wages would be
Increased by more tbun a small pur cent that
is. white his wuces mlcht bo nominally in
creased, somewhat tho prices of tho things hu
has to buy would bo increased very much
more. 8o tho real purchasing power of n day's
work would be gre.itly diminished. All exjio
tienoo shows that any dubasement in the mon
ey system of a country raises prices faster and
farther than it does wages. This might influ
ence so'miioinuloyers to consider tho nronriety
1 of debasing our currency, but it Is precisely
the reason why workiugmen should oppose It.
8o las us woikiugroon are concerned tho
whole silver question is to bo summed up in
ono query. Do you want your wnges cut down!
It so, vote for the free coluqge of silver.

pulfeil out a dollar. Turning to No. 2, ho mild
"I didn't know that I had that dollar. Hi re's

nnd with similar langnago passed it on to No.
U, nnd Koltwentnround tho ring. No. 'JO posvc d

ho turned to No. 2 and said, "I didn't oxpect
to bo ublo to pay you tho balance so soon, but
hero it is." And so it wont around' the ring,
iinauy coming uacic to no. l, who wun a sat
isfied smile put it into bis pocket.
To tho llttlo boy who looked ns I did thirty
odd ytarsoco, this wns simply thn funny work
of clowns, to bo laughed at mid forgotten. It
wns not forgotten, however, and to tho man
older grown and chargi d w 1th the tri')U3 con
sldemtion of tho nftvfri of a great nntiin it il
lustrutus thu priHounrust truth In Mapi:?t
What is that truth? It is this: Under proper
conditions tho working power of a dollar Is
beyond all human computation,
x wun very uiuru PurprjBiiu u near mis nil
ornoon n man so nromlncnt ns mv friend from
t Tennesseo (Mr. McMlllln speak ns if money
pitd for taxes was lost to circulation. I havo
often heard man spook as If they thought that
thero must bo ns many dollars In existence as
tboro am dollars worth of business to be
transacted. What would n farmer say to nn
agent for bi.shel baskets who should attempt
to convince him that he neoded as many bas
kets ns )i expected to raise bushels of crop?
Tho farmer would feel that his intelligence
bad boon insulted, nnd Justly so. Ho knows
that ho can uso tho sumo basket over nnd over
nnnlti ntiil tit a minnilttr t.ioaDiiPnil In nlitnn
i timo will depend on tho speed with which tbo
Ono handling it works. And then, if proporly
uneo, iv is reaay io uo as muen moro.
Ho with tbo yardstick, tbo pound wclcht nnd
tho dollar. Each can do nn almost inflnlto
amount of work if properly usod. What nro
the conditions of highest cllfcieiicy In money
uudor what conditions can a given amount of
money do tho most work? Let us examine our
illustration.
i Thu dollar in tho circus ring did tho work of
forty dollars in flvo minutes and was just as
capable of accomplishing ns much moro lu tho
succeeding flvo minutes. Why was this? Blm
ply becaubo it moved promptly.
1 Now let tr examine tho matter h little moro
! closely. Why did it movo so? Why was each
auu so prompt to pass the dollar on? llecauso
ha felt good that is, be felt hon St. Ho felt
that when hu owed money and had it In bis
packet tho onlv uroner thincr for him to do
Wos to pay up. Moreover, each had confidence
j tu other. , Thoro was a feeling of respect
. i it, .i i ".. .
nnu gouu wiu umoug tne nam in ma& nnc.
, This Is ono of tho conditions under which
I money docs its work mot ctTocttvoly.
What Is thu other condition? Why was each
man willing to accept tho dollar in payment
ot what was coming to him? Because no know
that it was a good dollar. lie knew that when
over he wanted to use it, whether it might bo
that day or not for ten years, it would bo just
as good us When hu accepted it.
Suppose on tbo other hand, that each of thn
men had n dollar in his pocket, but that they
distrusted each other, o.ich fearing that it ho
let go ot tho dollar that ho bad bo might not
soon get iinotlter, although money wns duo
him, and suppose that each was afraid to uo
oept tho money of tho other, fearing that it
might not be good when he wanted to uso It.
that it would depreciate on bis hands what
would bo the result? Why, of course, each
would keep In lib pocket what money he had,
and each would contlnuo to owo tho other
that js, the money would accomplish nothing.
Quality More Important Than Qnautlty.
With good mouey and mutual trust a dol
! lar did thn work of 40, while with questionable
I money and distrust IX) dollars could accomplish
nothing, lu other words, the quality of money
is lmininBoly moro important than its quan
tity. And. sir, a set of men who make it part of
their plan to malign human naturo ond then
offer us a debased curronoy would not only
deprive us of part of the money that wo now
have, but they would paralyzo tho working
power of what remained. They aro not only
morally wrong, but financially unwise. They
and thoir policy aro alike condemned. They
uflcr Door lnonev and distrust. Wo offer
abundant money of the best quality and well
founded confidence. Is thero any Joubt as to
approval

to propel it in lifo giving circulation, even to

From the National Capital,
' "Washington, Juno 1G. Iii ro
ply to a request from
Itfow York Herald,
u otatomont coiiccriiint;
tho
for
tho
tleuioenitio situation Prositlcnt !
Cleveland tonight sent tho follow
ing to that newspaper:
Washington Juno 1G. I havo
no lijjiircs as lo the probablo
action of delegates already chosen
or to bo chosen to tho democratic
national convention, but I refuse
to believe that when the time ar
rives for deliberate action there
will be engrafted upon our demo
cratic creed a demand for tho free,
unlimited and independent coin
age of silver. I cannot beliovo
this beanie I know tho democratic
party is noilhci unpatriotic hor
foolish, and becauso it seems so
clear to mo that Mich a course will
fnilict n vory great injury upon
every interest of our country,
whioh it has been the mission of
democracy to advance, and will re
sult in lasting disaster to our
party organization.
Thoro is little hope that as a
mcaiitfof success this freo silver
pioposition, after its thorough dis
cussion during si political cam
paign, will attract a majority of
tho votors of tho country. It
must bo that many of tho illusions
influencing those now rolying up
on the alleged panacea for thoir
ills -will bo dispelled beforo tho
timo comes for thorn to cast bal
lots. Tho adoption by tho democ
racy of this proposition would, I
believe, givo to our opponents an
advantage both in the present and
future which they do not deserve.
My attachment to true democ
racy is so strong that I consider
its success as identical vrith the
piomotion of tho country's good.
This ought sufficiently to account
for my anxiety that no mistake bo
mado at our party convention. In
my opinion no effort should bo
spared to securo such action of the
ueiegaios as win avert party uo
moralization. It is a placo for
consultation and
views, and those
comparison or
democrats who
oeliovo in tho cause of souud mon
y should thero be heard and he
onstantly in evidence.
A cause worth lighting for is
A'orth fighting for to tho end. If
ouud money democrtits suppose
.hero is danger of a mistake be
'ng made such danger should stim
ulate thoir activity in averting it
instead of creating discourage-
meut. I am very far from arro

ilamed for paying this much at
his time, in tho iutorest. as it
eems to me, of tho grand old or

Tho democrats of Chicago aro

relieving that such a stop would
