Lalior'a Attrllmte to Stiver. The American Federation of Labor, one of the strongest labor organizations In tho world, has declared in Its na tional conventions In Chicago (1893), Denver (1894), and New York (1895), for tho free and unlimited coinage of sll vor and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1. The resolution follows: "Resolved, That it is tho deliberate Judgment of tho American Federation of Labor in delegate convention as sembled, that congress should re-enact tho lav of 1837 which provided for the free and unlimited coinage of both sil ver and gold at tho ratio of 1G to 1, thus restoring the American law of coinage as it was until 1873, whon Bilver was demonetized without debate and with out tho knowledgo of the American people, and that this should be done at once, without waiting for the co operation of any other nation In tho world. "Resolved, further, That a copy of tho above and foregoing, under tho seal of the federation, be sent to the president of tho United States and to the vlco president of tho United States, to tho speaker of tho house of congress to Secretary Carlisle, to the chairman of tho financo committee of tho nouse and to each member of the house and senate.

Locomotive Firemen's Magazine: The capitalists of tho East havo acted in the capacity of "commission agents," Inviting and investing the billions of European dollnr-3 in American enter prises. They, of course, have retained a fair commission. In some Instances, such as "wildcat" railroad nnd "salt ed" mine schemes, our Eastern neigh bors havo been accused by European Investors of dishonest dealings. Tho Eastern banker has acted as a "mid dleman" between European capital and American Investments and as such has largely profited by the debts thus oc curred. They collect a commission for placing tho investment, another for collecting rentals and yet another for closing out uudeslrable Investments. It Is thus apparent that the Eastern bankers aro the friends and agents of European Investors and tithe collectors of a comparatively bankrupt nation. Chanra to Vote for Himself.

Some labor papera havo thus far re mained non-committal, as It is the avowed policy of a few Buch Journals and of certain labor organizations to reserve political action to the Individ ual.

Columbus (Ohio) Record: (John Mc Bride, late president of the American Federation of Labor, editor.) It is time Eastern capitalists and Eastern news papers opened their eyes to the fact that the friends of free sliver aro more numerous than crazy. Tho Farmers' Alliance, tho Knights of Labor, the American Federation ot Labor, tho populists, tho republicans of several states heretofore republican stateB, a large portion of the prohibition party and organized labor In general havo declared In favor of the free and un limited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. The army of silver cranks Is a large ono, and if they can bo mus tered under ono banner thero will be such a political revolution this fall that the gold bugs of tho East will find their power to oppress the common people forever gone, nnd to our mini) it cannot be gotten rid of too soon. Free Silver Oolr a Tart, Labor Advocato (organ of the Troy (N. Y.) Central Federation of Labor): The Issue of 16 to 1 Is not the only is suo of the campaign. The other planks In tho Chicago platform are of greater Import than even tho money clause. It Is the entering wedge of a mammoth reform, which will restore to tho peo ple control of the natural and artificial monopolies of tho country, now held by individuals nnd used as an engine of depression against the people. To-day tho "free" worklngmen ol America are the actual slaves of the money combination. That is why the monied "patriots" of both parties howl down as "anarchists" and "ropudla tlonlsts" the men and measures that would undertako to free tho people, nnd appeal to the people they have be trayed to "wait until England gives her consent" to change our coinagp basis.

Workmen's Advocate: Heretofore the money power by dividing its forces between the republican and democratic parties has been able to control both parties and all financial legislation hai had Its sanction. Through some means they loBt control of tho Chicago conven tion, and tho declaration of that body in favor of frco coinage sliver has com pelled the millionaires who havo been masquerading as democrats to expose themselves, and they nre rushing over tho political fenco to Join their co-con-splrators. They will now make a united effort to subjugate the people and bring them under control. Will tho people bo subjugated? Confiscation the Iiiu. Columbus Record: The process of confiscation has gone on qulto long enough and our producing classes must not permit themselves to be turned aside from their purpose to open the mints to the free coinage of silver, check the appreciation of gold and put an end to the entire confiscation ot the property ot all debtors that is Insepar able from the appreciating gold Btan dard by tho dishonest cry that to do eo Is repudiation.

When Bourko Cochran exalted tho importance In the social fabric ot tho men who toll ho used a common trick ot argument to gain for his side tho apparent advantage of tho champion ship of labor. But Mr. Bryan In his Rhlnebock speech went as far, although in fowcr wordB, as Mr. Cochran in pointing out tho Importance of tho tollers as vital factors In tho well-being of the wholo Boclal organism. In doing bo ho merely accepted a practical axiom of political economy that tho foundations of nil prosperity rest upon tho welfare of tho men who dig and dolvo for tho product of tho soil and mine, who turn tho raw material into articles of necessity and use and who perform tho task of plac ing them whoro they aro needed. Agreeing, thereforo, that tho welfare of tho producers Is tho vital concern of all, tho question of tho campaign Is: Which party offers tho better hope of prosperity to tho producers? Tho chief enemies of tho tollers aro mpnopoly In nil Its forms nnd unjust taxation.

"A few of your financiers would fa&hlonanow figure a figure representing Columbia, her hands bound fast with fetters of gold and her face turned to ward the east, appealing for assistance to those who live beyond tho sea, but this figure can never express your idea of this nation.

That figure Liberty Enlightening the World is emblematic of tho mission of our nation among the nations of tho earth." W. J. Bryan at Madison Square Garden. St. Louis Post-Dl3 patch. ulato prices. It may operate by con trolling laws. In Its last analysis the evil of the gold standard Is the evil of monopoly, because It enables the finan cial magnates to fix the standard and then to corner the money market az they have done. Monopoly and unjust taxation are often combined, as In a protective tariff. Tho candidacy of McKInley Is sup ported by monopolists. The tariff barons who made millions from monop olies gained through unjust taxation and the financial magnates who made millions by cornering gold and selling it to the government aro combining the power of their wealth and Infiueuce to elect him. All the Interests that plun der tho producing tollers by the reduc tion of wages, the Increase of prices by trusts, the manipulation of corporations and the Juggling of the money market are combined in his support. On the other side is Bryan, whose candidacy is a protest against every form of monopoly and who must look for support only from tho tollers. Can there bo any question as to the candidate whose success will represent tho welfare of the people? The Diirnntented Krmir. Tho agricultural department has Is sued a circular that will help to explain why the farmers aro not as happy now as they used to be. It compares the prices of leading farm products year by year, from 1SG6 to 1895. The prices are given In currency, but when re duced to a gold basis the results are sufficiently striking. Inspect theso fig ures, for Instanco: Currency. Gold. 18G6. 18G6. 1895. Corn $ .682 $ .484 $ .253 Wheat 2.196 1.558 .509 Oats 504 .357 .199 Ryo 1.182 .84 .44 Barley 1.009 .716 .337 Buckwheat 972 .69 .452 Potatoes 68 .482 .266 Tobacco (per lb) .139 .098 .072 Hay (per ton). 14.58 10.347 8.35 It thus appears that tho farmer In 18G6 got more than three times as much in gold for his wheat as he is getting now, nnd about twice as much for ev erything else. But if ho had a mort gage on his farm It was reckoned In currency, and one bushel of wheat would clear off nearly 2.20 of It, Instead of about 50 cents, as it will now. A thousand bushels of wheat at that time would pay off the whole of a mort gage of 1,000 and leave $1,196 for ex penses. The same crop would now al- low the farmer $509 to apply to th mortgago and nothing to live or run tho farm on, or $509 for expenses and nothing tor tho mortgage, or $80 for interest and $129 for tho farm nnd lam Uy, leaving tho dobt as largo as evor. In 1SGG a mnn without money could buy a farm In tho west on credit nnd pay for It with tho proceeds of ono crop. In 1S9G tho same man might receive tho snme farm, without Incumbrance, oa u gift, nnd bo bankrupt In a year. But Mr. Cochran boob nothing In tho discon tent ot tho western fnrmor except a de Blre to cheat his laborers. "AnarehUt" of Seventeen Hcvcntr'nlx. In a elgncd communication recently published M. J.

Tho bulk of Mr. Mc Klnley's volumo Is devotee H. t;. two subjects of money and tariff tho money question, under Btrlngent orders from Hanna, bolng treated first, for which wrench to his feelings Mr. Mc KInley has our deepest sympathy. A ! SHERMAN'S DOLLAR. WOULD HAVE IT CONSTANTLY APPRECIATING IN VALUE. Juat na If the fiilllnc Trice of Pro duct of I.nhor nu Not Ketnnvlnjr the Fnnuilntlntt from Our Civilisation Common Scnic. From Spokano Spokesman (Republic an): In his Columbus speech Inst Sat urday Sonator Sherman said: "That dollar Is tho bcBt dollar that buys tho largest quantity of food nnd clothing. That dollar Ib tho gold dollar, for It buys moro food and clothing than any other dollar." If thnt woro true, it would follow that tho dearer tho dollar tho better It would bo. A dollar worth twlco n8 much as tho present dollar would bo twlco as good, according to Mr. Sher man's logic, and a dollar buying four times ns much as tho prcaont dollar would bo four times no desirable Ono who believes aB Senator Sherman be lieves Is carried by his own logic to advocacy of an Indefinitely appreciat ing dollar. An ounce of silver will buy substantially na much ns It would buy nt tho cIobo of tho war. Silver then was regarded nB hard, sound monoy. It now hna tho appearance ot deprecia tion because ot tho appreciation ot go!4 nnd men llko Shormnn, who once call ed It sound, now cnll It unsound. If they had tholr way, fivo years from now tho gold dollar would bo Btlll furthor appreciated and n dollar now regard ed as Bound would then bo regarded as unsound. Mr. Shormnn Bays ho Is for tho gold dollar becauso It cheaponB American products. Ho HkoB It becaUBo It will buy threo buohclB of wheat, bIx bushols of corn, 12 to 15 poundfl of cotton and wool, nearly 40 pounds of lead, and all other commodities In proportion. "Thnt dollar is tho host dollar that buys tho largest quantity." Ho therotoro bc- lloves that tho dollar would bo twice as good if it bought six bushels ot wheat, 12 of corn, and 30 pounds of cot ton or wool. If Mr. Sherman believes that, aud ho Bays he does, by what peculiar mental process Is ho In favor of tho protectlvo tariff? Tho avowed purposo of tho protective tariff Is to raise prlco3, and thus mako tho dollar buy less food and clothing. How can Sherman consistent ly bo for ono prlnciplo to mnko tho dollar buy moro, and at the samo time support another prlnciplo to mako it buy leBs? Grovcr Cleveland nt least has tho virtue of consistency. With Sherman, ho bellovea that tho best dol lar la tho dollar that buys tho most, and he pursues a logical course whon he tries to mako It buy grcator quanti ties first, by Its appreciation, and sec ond, by tho application of free trade. Tho truth Is tho republican party was consistent when It supported bimetal lism and protection. These tend to an era of good prices. In other words, to a cheaper dollar. The single-gold standard and tree trnde bring an era of low prices. In other words, a dear dollar. Tho new democratic party Is not for frco trade. When tho dollar Is dear, tho debtor and tho producor seo hard times, while tho creditor and non producer are ablo to exact an over flowing measure from Industry nnd production. When the dollar Is stable, and not too dear, tho producing masses are prosperous, debts do not crush. In dustry Is not paralyzed, commerce is not stagnant. Thero Is no hopo in John Sherman'B dear and appreciating dollar. Wont Ilnnnn tleallr Wnnti. Mosslllon (O.)

The "Industrial Cannibal," General Master Workman Sovereign, of tho Knights of Labor, in a recent in terview, spoke of Mark A. Hanna, head of the syndlcato of millenaries who paid McKlnley's debts In order to make him their tool, and who Btlll holds the notes, as "Hannn, tho Indus trial cannibal."

Tho frequent action ot manufactur ers nnd othcre In offering to pay their employes In Moxlcan silver dollars, as an "object lesson," suggests that a transaction that took placo at a small town near Pittsburg, Pa., will boar re peating, us an "object lesson." Thoro was a contractor ot tho namo ot Lynch. Bolng a radical advocato of tho single gold standard and equally as Btrongly opposed to tho frco colnago of silver, Mr. Lynch took ndvnntago of ovory opportunity to locturo to his men on tho subject. Ho told them that they woro entitled to tho host monoy; thnt laboring men of all others should be paid In dollars worth 100 conts, and that to compol thorn to tako any othor would bo an outrage This money, he declared, wnB gold. Under froo coln ago of Bllvor, ho argued, thoy would get dollars worth but 50 cents. It so happened that among tho mon wore a fow practical fellows who wore not prepared to accept all of their employ er's assertions. But they acted upon them to tho extent that thoy went among tho other men nnd got an agree ment that all of thorn would on tho next pay day demand their wages In gold. If laboring men woro ontltled to tho best monoy, and thnt was gold, they wanted It. So tho foreman wan notified of tho deslro of tho mon. This ho communicated to Mr. Lynch. "Why, of course," Bald ho, "tho mon should havo gold, and thoy are entltlod to It. Next pay day thoy will all seo some monoy that Is money." Whon tho pay roll was mndo up (It amounted to $3,000) tho clerk was Instructed to got gold at tho bank. Presently tho clerk returned to his employer and told him that tho bank could not let him havo tho gold. Mr. Lynch wont Immediately to tho bank to mako tho demand In person. But ho could not got It, oven under tho threat of transferring his ac count. Ho thou applied to tho other banks In tho city, of which thoro were four, but with equally poor success. In tho end he woo compelled to return to his mon and pay them oft In silver. When It la known that this took place over two months ago, and boforo the agitation hod caused gold to bo hoard ed, It will bo aeon that It Is a pretty good "object lesson." Defianco, 0 Aug. 23. A.

Sounds nice, doesn't It? Wonderful wisdom for n presidential candidate. To which any American workman may reply: "That's all right, Mr. McKInley; but what are thorn foreigners going to get for the Bllvor they will bring to the mints of tho United States? Won't they spend the money by purchasing the products of American mills? That's Just the condition of affairs we ore looking for. Silver Is money, and we want it in exchange for our goods. Open tho mints and tho mills will open. Keep the mints closed and the mill? will remain closed." Pity for the "Mapolean."
