'IHOW ' WILL FREE SILVER flFFEGI THE W0RKIiMI ? |
tfiiiuuiiiiiimiuuuiuiiiiiiiuiiihiiuiiiuuiuiiitiuuiuiiuiuft
One of the mottoes carried in the La
bor Day parade ran In this way , : "Who
ever is elected , we shall have to work. "
There was sound philosophy in that
motto , and workingmen may confident
ly apply it to the" situation in which
they find themselves to-day. All of us
all of the vast army of wage earners
here in the United States must work
if we expect to get money. Labor Is
the only thing that most of us have to
give for money , and if we do not sell
our labor we have no income.
What does It mean , then , when some
people tell us that we shall grow rich
that we shall get more money If a
great many more silver dollars are
coined for mine owners who take their
sliver to the mints ? Is it meant' that
we Bhall be able to get-some ofthese
new silver dollars without working for
them ? Surely not this ; for we "shall
have to work , whoever is elected pres
ident. "
Perb"s it'is meant that workingmen
will get more of the silver dcTars for
the same amount of work which now
brings them dollars as good fc3 gold.
But who is to guarantee this to the
workingmen ? They do not getjfcore in
Japan , surely , or in Mexico , o * in Ar-
for the Chicago platform and Mr. Bry
an ; Indeed they bad all to do with
drafting the one and naming the oth
er. Since this information has become
general we hear less from Mr. Bryan's
side of the house of the eastern mil
lionaire and his preference for sound
and honest money as opposed to silver
inflation and repudiation.
But -the free silver agitator is much
disturbed just now because the east
ern manufacturer and the railroad
officer are telling their employees that
the factory and mill cannot run and
the railroad be operated profitably un
der a free silver monetary system.
They say the employer has no right
to intimate to his employee what con
ditions are favorable to his industry
or enterprise and what not. Why
hasn't he ? Are not the interests of
employer and employee largely identi
cal ? Is it possible for the employer to
be hurt without the employee feeling
it ? Should an employer allow his em
ployee to be misled into doing what
will result in loss of work or wages
without saying a word by way of cau
tion to put him on his guard ? Is the
right of free speech to be denied the
employer ? And is a word well meant
*
Another strong rival referred to elte.
where in the report is Argentina , whos <
farmers have cheaper and fresher landi
and whose labor expenses are much
less than those of their American com-
pntitors.
Cheap land or cheap labor , or both
combined , are what the American
wheat-raiser has to contend against ,
and not the gold standard. The Ar
gentine farmer can get fresh govern
ment land for a song , and hence doei
not have to put as much capital into
his farm as the Minnesota or Dakota
farmer does. He pays less for farm
labor , and his transportation facilities
are often better. Hence he can sell his
grain more cheaply.
The moment the Suez caual was
opened the wheat-raisers of India , who
already had cheap labor , got quick and
cheap transportation , and became for
midable competitors. Fill up the Suez
canal and force them to send their
wheat around the Cape of Good Hope ,
and they would cease to be such dan
gerous rivals. Give the wheat-raiser
of the northwest deep-water trans
portation from Duluth to Liverpool ,
and he would get more for his wheat
than he does now.
The American wheat-raieer has got
to deal with the fact stated by Senator
Peffer that wheat costs about 13 cents
a bushel on the India farm , largely be
cause labor is so poorly paid there.
It is estimated that it costs G5 cents
to raise a bushel in New York or Penn-

gentina , or in any silver country. The
workingmen in those countries get
about enough wages in silver to pay
for the food which the American work-
Ingmen's children give to thr " r pet dog
or cat If there is any fact about
which there is no dispute , it is that the
lowest wages and the poorest living
are those of the workingmen in-coun
tries where the silver stem- i #
* (
vails. - '
Now , one of two things must happen
if the United States undertakes to coin
53 cents' , worth of silver into a legal
tender dollar for everyone who has the
silver and asks to have it made into
a dollar. Either the new silver dollars
will be worth as much as gold dollars ,
or they will be worth less. If they hold
the same value that our dollars have
to-day , how are workingmen to get
any more of them for the same amount
of labor ? If they do not hold that val
ue but depreciate , in what way are the
workingmen going to make up the defi
cit in the value of their wages ?
No one now seriously contends that
silver dollars , or the treasury certifi
cates representing such dollars , could
be maintained at a parity with gold
under free and unlimited coinage. That
job is too big for even Uncle Sam to
handle. The value of the dollar , and
so the value of wages , would inevi
tably fail , and it would fall badly. But ,
we are told , there is the poor farmer
who has a mortgage overdue and could
pay it off so muck more easily -with
this cheap kind of dollarB. _ Trae
enough ; he could pay off his mortgage
with the money which the workingmen
lose in .wages. This might he pleasant
for the farmer , but is it exactly cheer
ful for the workingmen ? Boston Post

When the free silver agitation was
young ; while yet the theories of the
white metal doctrinaries were plaus
ible and their arguments specious , it
was a clever trick with which to catch
unthinking voters to harp upon the
fact that the capitalists and million
aires of the east were opposed to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1 without the co
operation of other first class powers.
But it was soon learned by the public
that the capitalists and millionaires of
the far west , the silver states , were for
the free silver idea. And it was
learned , too , that these millionaires
had about as many millions as the
"
eame number of eastern rich men.
Twenty-two silver kings represent an
aggregate wealth of $547,000,000 , and
every single solitary one of them is
they will receive more so-called dollars
lars even if it will take two of them
to purchase as much as one will buy
now. If there is any place in the
United States where the employee
must vote to please his employer it is
in the silver country. Zanesville ( O. )
Courier.
I WHY WHEAT IS LOW. |
Two years ago Senator Peffer made
a report to the senate on the cause of
the fall in agricultural prices. In that
report he declares that
"Our home prices for wheat are large
ly controlled by the foreign wheat mar
ket , and that is regulated by those who
supply the greater part of the demand.
The effect on our wheat jiarkct is to
bring down prices. Our strongest rival
is now India , whose farmers during the
last seven years furnished nearly one-
half asmuch as we did of the wheat
from him and for the employees' best
interest to be tortured into intimida
tion ? The truth is the natural re
lation between employer and em
ployee is a close one. It has been
widened by the politician and walk
ing delegate until in many cases cm-
nity has supplanted the good feeling
which should be fostered.
Let us see the inconsistencjr of the
free silver people. Have you ever
been in the silver mining states since
the Stewarts , Tellers. Newlands , and
that class of men have been making
sentiment for the cause of the white
metal ? Have they enlisted the silver
miner who works for them ? Have
they ? Why , he is rampant If he
were not he could not only not hold
his job or not hope for one when
Bryan gets to be president , if he is
out of employment now , but it would
be too uncomfortable for him to live
out there.
Bulldozing , do you call this thing
of employer enlisting employees in
behalf of what will benefit the
former ? Well , then , you should go
into the silver mining districts and
behold it flourishing with rigor and
luxuriance. The silver miner is told ,
with free silver , wages will go up. It
is not explained to him that they will
go up as measured by & . silver stan
dard. It is enough for him to know
and for the purposes of such skin
flints as Senator Stewart that

sylvania , and about 50 cents in Kansas.
How does the free silver farmer think
this difference in the cost of production
between America and India will be
done away with by free coinage ? Does
he think the cost of labor will be in
creased in India , and not increased
here ? Or does he think the cost of la
bor will he decreased here and not in
creased in India ? Does he expect to
see the American farm laborer injured
or the laborer in India benefited ?
Free coinage will not increase the
yield to the acre. It will not add to
the number of wheat consumers. It
will do nothing to aid the farmer. By
creating a panic , by disorganizing all
branches of business , by reducing the
city consumption of wheat and all oth
er farm products free coinage will do
the farmer indescribable injury. It will
damage his home market , which is hi *
main-stay. Chicago Tribune.
Opposed to Mr. Bryan.
Among other things to which Mr.
Bryan has declared himself to be op
posed is national protection to the beet-
sugar industry. This man , who pre
tends to be the friend of the American
people , does not want to see American
industries developed , for he knows tbat
with the revival and development of
commerce and industry and con
sequent return of prosperit- the op
portunity of the demagogue passes
away. A contended , prosperous people
ple has no inclination to listen to his
rant Had not the tariff policy of the
present administration brought on
financial depression and consequent
hard times the silverites would not
have been able to spread their falla
cious doctrines , for none would have
listened.
But to return to the protection of
American sugar. During the fiscal year
ended in 1895 this country imported 3-
516,158,168 pounds of sugar valued at
$74S29,794. During the latest fiscal year
the amount of imported sugar was 3 , -
708,874,766 pounds , valued at ? 83,866 , -
200.
There is no reason why all the sugar
that is consumed in this country
should not be made from cane or beets
raised in this country. The $15S,695 , -
994 which have been sent abroad to pay
for the sugar which we imported dur
ing two years should have been distri
buted among American farmers and
manufacturers of sugar , an they
would have been if the Republican pol
icy had been permitted to remain in
force. And to the restoration of that
policy Mr. Bryan , the pretended friend
of the masses , is bitterly opposed.
