APPEAL FOR THE RAILROAD BOYS.
BRYAN'S PLEA FOR THE CAR COUPLER BILL.
CAN YOU PLACE MONEY AGAINST HUMAN
LIFE?
The Companies Are Against Bryan Because of His
Vote. The Men Should be With Him.
On Feb. 21, 1893, thero was a
debate in c6ngress on a bill to
compel railroads engaged engag
'ed in interstate commerce to use
on their cars couplers which
would protect the lives and limbs
of their employes. There was
opposition to the bill, but William
Jennings Bryan urged its pas
sage. Ho said:
"I for one am willing to stny
hero till this session ends, be
cause I think this bill should bo
passed. I believe it is dictated
by humanity, and I am not will
ing, if I can prevent it, that these
men shall bo killed and maimed
iust because some of the railroads
insist that they cannot afford to
nut these couplers on their cars.
The only objection that I havo
heard made, the only real one
in that letter of Mr. Haines'
found on our desks this morning,
is that it would cost $75 a car, or
$75,000,000. Some 22,000 per
sons have been injured, Those
of us who havo associated with
these gnicn know that there is
scarcely one of them employed
for any length of time in rail
roading who does not havo a
hand off, or finger off, or foot off,
or who is not maimed in some
way, and we have had produced
here statements of the startling
number killed. Now I ask, Mr.
Speaker, does it not appeal to us,
who are members of the only
body whicli can give this relief,
because sUtesviaro powerless
does it not appeal to us and to
our humanity, to pass such laws
as will give them protection to
the lives and limbs of these peo
ple? Republican Party
Money Plank of the Republican
Platform in 1888.
"The ropublicanjparty is in favor
of the use of both gold and silver
ns money, and condemns the policy
of the democratic administration
, in its effots to demonetize silver."
Money Plank of the Republics n
Platform in 1892.
"The American people from
tradition and interest favor bimet
allism, and the republican party
demands that the ubo of both gold
and ailvor as standard money, buch
restrictions to bo determined by
contemplation of values of the two
metals so that the purchasing and
debt paying power of the dollar,
whether of silver, gold or paper
shall be equal at ull times. The
interest of the producers of tho
country, its farmers iU working
men, demand that ovory dollar,
paper or gold, issued by tho gov
ernment, shall bo as good as any
other. We commend tho wise and
patriotic steps already taken by
our government to securo an inter
national parity of value between
gold and silver for use as money
throughout tho world."
Which is the best for Americans?
To borrow gold from, and pay
interest to England, or dig needed
money from homo mineB? To
make a new home market for
manufactures and farm products
by employing idle labor in develop
ing western mines that do not com
pote with any American industry,
or to help England foster her
South African, Australian and
Indian iutcrests at our expense?
To legislate for starving labor and
bankrupt farmers, or for Wall
btreet? Brietly, is it be&t for
Americans to run tho United States,
r permit English bankers to gov
w HI?
"I do not question their mo
tives, but if we can keop this
question in this position, staying
hero night and day, the country
will notice it and public opinion
will bo brought to boar upon it,
and wo are willing to trust to our
being sustained by public opin
ion. The platform of both the
great political parties havo de
clared to favor it; and, as has
been well stated hero today, be
fore the election a bill was passed
hero without a division. At that
time wo who now favor it had up
on our side many of those who
oppose it now, or at least their
opposition was not then made
known.
"I ask, Mr. Speaker, how cau
wo measure the value of Human
life? How can you say that
75,000,000 expended in equip
ping cai'S outweighs 2,000 people
killed and 12,000 maimed? Wo
may talk this way about the lives
of others, but what if these were
our sons or brothers? I ask of
1 any one of those gentlemen what
price ho would set upon the life
or security of a relative? And
how dare we hold at a trilling
price the lives and welfare of
those not kin to us, while we hold
Las a priceless boon the lives and
welfare of those to whom we aro
related by blood?
"I appeal, Mr. Speaker, to
thoso who are in favor of this
bilj.fost'ind. by ourA rights hero
as a majority and protect the
lives of these people who plead
fr us for their protection.
(Applause.)
Money Planks.
Money Plank of the Republican
Platform in 1896.
"The republican party is unre
sorvedly for sound money. It
caused the enactment of the law
providing for tho resumption of
specio payment in 1879. Since
thon every dollar has been as good
as gold. "VVo aro unalterably op
posed to every measure calculated
to debase our currency or impair
the credit of our country. Wo
are therefore opposed to the free
coinage of silver except by intor
nationl agreement with tho leading
commercial nations of the world,
which wo pledge ourselves to pro
mote, and until such agreemont
can bo obtained, tho existing gold
standard must bo preserved. All
our silver and paper currency must
be maintained at u parity with gold
and wo favor all measures designed
to maintain inviolable tho obliga
tions of tho United States, and all
our monoy. whether coin or paper,
at tho present standard, the stan
dard of tho most enlightened na
tion of the earth.
I havo been called an anarchist
becauso I havo opposed the
trusts and syndicates which would
manage this country. I am glad
to havo tho opposition of theso
men. I am glad that if I am
elected thero is not a trust or a
syndicate that can como to mo
and say, "Wo put you there now
pay us back. William Jennings
Bryan.
When you sue gigantic trusts con
tributing vast sums of money to a
political campaign, it must mean
something. Possibly it is becaubo
thoy are ao interested in the dear
laboring mnn and farmer.
Voters Attention.
Becauso of tho trickery of tho
republican secretary of state, J. A.
Piper, it bocomes necessary for
ovory voter to bo very caroful in
marking his ballot or tho friends
of Mr. Bryan will cast their votes
against instead of for him. Neith
er the namo of Mr. Bryan nor Mr.
McKinloy will appear on the bal
lot this election, first will bo
eight names followed by llepubli
cun, next will come eight names,
designated "Democrat." It is tho
intontion of tho republicans who
had control in making tho ballot
to confuse the friends of Mr. Bryan
and they expect a largo number of
Bryan's friends to vote for the&o
mon. This second list should be
passed over by all and tho noxt
list of eight names which will ap
pear on the ballot as follows, aro
tho ones that every Bryan man
should put an X after exactly as
we have done hero:

and suffering. Prosperity will
never return under tho gold

The gold organs continue to
sneer at Mr. Bryan as a young
man, but they havo, as yet, not
produced a iniddlo aged nor an old
man to match him. ,,

England is a purchasing nation.
1 She cannot produce agXjultural
products in sufficient quantities
to feed her people. It is to her
interest to keep tho pricos of agri
cultural products down. A nation
with an income from foreign in
vestments is most benefitted bv
cheap agricultural products and
dear money.

Major McKinley Bays: "It is not
more monoy that tho peoplo need,
but more conlidoncol" Now lot
thoso satisfied with plenty of con
fidence voto for McKinley, and all
those who would rather havo mon
ey than confidence vote for Bryan
und freo coinage.
It is amuBiug to watch tho in
torost which the railway com
panies aro talcing in politics this
year, and what grave fears they
have if Bryan wins they will have
to reduce tho wages of their em
ployees. Thoso roads which have
the most presistently fought ovory
attempt of their employees to in
crease wages are the ones which
are now tho most anxious about
them. The friendship they bIiow
for their omployees just at this
time iB enough to make a wooden
Indian smile.
Abundant Monoy
Plenty of Work and Good Wages
Go Together.
A German Farmer's Idea,
In conversation with a
German
farmer not long since In reguul to
his views on the silver question, lie
said:
'1 enn not talk it very well, but if
tliey can convince mo that one horse
can pull as great a load as two iiones
of equal power can, then I will vote
for McKinley. Until they can do
that I will vote for Bryan. It looks
like this to me: the sorrel horse gold
is not able to draw tho weight of
business interests to whiclr pe is now
harnessed,. and I think wei ad better
hitch up ihc white horse silver to
relieve him of part of his burden,
and'SCfl if the two can not get along
better."
We think the German Jdca a good
one.
