Tliat thn railway men of Omaha have not
had their opinions regarding the wisdom of
electing William McKlnlcy president of the
nation changed by the wild talk of a local
organ about the coercion of rallroadera by
their superior otllcers Is evidenced by the
following circular that has been \cry gen
erally signed by the cinplojci of thn vari
ous Omaha roads It Mill bo seen that over
COO signatures have been attached to this
paper , but It may bo relied upon as a fact
beyond all dispute that the railway vote
for McKlnlcy will bo much larger than
shown here Many emplojes of. the Union
Pacific shops refrained from signing thin
document because of the threats of their
co-laborers who nre pledged to Bryan and
free silver

The Hnal rally of the worklngmcn of
Omaha wns addressed by i : . Hosowatcr and
n M Illff nt Itojd's theater last night It
was distinctively an audience of tellers
many of whom brought their wives and I
sweethearts to hear sound money doctrine |
applied to their needs. That they wcro con
vinced that their hope for prosperity rested
on the clcc'lon of William McKlnloy was
Indicated by the general and hearty applause
that greeted the points made by the speak
ers The meeting was called to order by
K S risher , who Introduced I'ctcr llrophy
ns chairman. Mr llrophy simply acknowl
edged the honor nnd Introduced n M Illlt.
who made n short but stirring speech to his
fellow laborers
In beginning Mr. Illff referred to the
notion of Oovcrnor Ilolcomb In disregarding
the olllclally expressed wishes of the labor
organizations In the appointment of a com
missioner of labor Then ho took tip n stntc-
men ms.de nt a popocrntic meeting the night
before In rcgird to the percentage of the
labor vote In Nebraska that would bo cast
for the Ilryan ticket Ho emphatically de
nied the assertion that the delegates to the
International T > pographlcal union were
overwhelmingly for IJryan. He cited the
records to show that the convention abso
lutely refused to adopt a silver resolution ,
In spite of the efforts of certain Individuals
to secure Its passage Ho quoted the state
ment that a 100 per cent tariff would bo
necessary to place the vvorklngmen of this
country on an equal footing with those of
sliver countries and asked the audience If
this was true did It not provo that the
worklngmcn of Americi wcro receiving
wapcs ; that brought Just twice as much as
the same wages In silver countries.
GIVn NEI1UASICANS A CHANCE.
Continuing , the speaker dwelt on the Im
portance of standing up for Nebraska. He
cited the effort of Governor Ilolcomb and
his appointees to send east for two bailers
nt a cost of $9,000 to replace n set thnt had
exploded nt the penitentiary. The board had
refused to follow the recommendation , but
had omplocd home labor and used Ne
braska material to repair the damage at a
cost of less than $1,500 The nctlon of Gov
ernor Ilolcomb In this case , ho declared , was
like that of Trank Hansom , who had pur
chased his furniture In Detroit In closing
ho declared that In November Nebraska
would put herself on record for McKlnlcj ,
Mercer and VncColl.
This Ecntlm nl wns echoed by n burst of
npplausc. which was continue 1 when n
Uos wnter wns Introduced as the next
speaker.
Mr Hosewotcr said that In a very short
time one of the most momentous Issues that
had ever been before the people of this
country would be decided The result was
Important not only to those who were to
decide It , but for generations to come. The
money question had been forced to the
front nnd Hoods of false doctrine had been
let loose on the people The subject had
been thoroughly discussed during tUo cam
paign , but so much dust had been thrown
In the c > cs of the people that some of them
wcro still scarcely able to comprehend Its
Import.
AS n first principle , Mr. Ilosewater laid
down the doctrine that money was the
product of labor. That which was a meas
ure of value must be of value Itself. Money
could not bo created by legislation , but
must be of Intrinsic value , representing
the labor that had produced It. The gov
ernment stnmp was no nioro money than
a bill of faro was a square meal.
STAMP CAItninS NO VALUE.
IJcglnnlng with the first mediums of ex
change , the speaker briefly reviewed the
history of money nnd traced It down
through the baser metals to the final use
of gold It was now an Indisputable fact
tint , the most civilized nations now used
gold ns a measure of value. Copper was
still used In China , In Africa and In other
countries thnt were far behind the prog
ress of the nineteenth century Prom the
beginning money was measured by weight
nnd not by a government stamp. At the
Hank of England gold was now paid out
by weight , and the hend of Queen Victoria
on the sovereign had no more effect than
would the portrait of the humblest washer
woman In the kingdom The same svstcni
was used at the United States subtrcasury
If an Omaha bank made a shipment of gold
to the national treasury the coins were
weighed , and the value lost by the wear
ot the coins on the Journey was deducted
from the face value of the shipment. This
showed conclusively that the stamp did
not make money
Mr Hosewater also referred to the his
tory of money to show the fallacy of the
assertion that the free coinage of silver at
the ratio proposed by Mr llryan would
rnlso the price of silver to a parity with
gold. Ho showed that the prlco of silver
had decreased per cent from 1549 to
IfiSO , while the mints of the world were
coining It. The downward tendency had
steadily continued , owing to the Increase
In production , nnd the nations that had
endeavored to Keep the two metals at a
parity had changed the ratio 200 times and
yet had failed.
The speaker commented with some sar
casm on the continual effort of Mr Ilrvan
to make the people believe that the gold
standard was responsible for every trouble
that the people experienced According to
him the "crime of ' 73" was responsible for
every disaster wo had known since , from
drouth to grasshoppers , but It was not re
sponsible for the jcars of magnificent pros-
pcilty and for the wonderful development
which had raised Omnha In n few jcara
from a frontier village to a great city of over
100 000 people. As a matter of fact the free
and unlimited coinage of silver had ended
In 1S53 , and the popocrats had just found
It out.
RIDICULOUS ON ITS KACE.
In this connection Mr Roscwater took oc
casion to throw some light on the alleged
conspiracy by which sliver was demone
tized. Ho showed the absurdity of the claim
that Ernest Said had como to America In
1872 with $500.000 with which to corrupt
congicss by showing that that Individual
\\m not In this country at all at that time ,
nnd that the person whoio statement had
llrst started the story was unworthy of be-
lief. To make the claim of the silver sliont-
urs more ridiculous thu bullion value of sil
ver In 1S73 wns $101. Thou It wail asserted
that the bend owners had conspired to de
monetize sliver and lose .1 cents on every
dollar's vvcrth of bonds that they held Thu
gold dollar had not been coined slnco IK'JO ,
and no ono had borrowed any trouble about
a conspiracy to strike down the geld dollar.
Continuing , Mr. Hosewater called attention
to the fact that , In six years after the al
leged demonetization this country had
coined 36,000,000 of silver dollars and $19-
000,000 In subsidiary silver coin , which was
more than had over been coined before that
time.
In this connection an Inquisitive Individual
In the audience/ wanted to know why out
bonds could not bo paid In silver. He was
Informed that the government had no silver
to pay them with.
"Is there not $000,000,000 In silver In the
United States treasury/ " asked the ques
tioner.
"Yes hut It belongs to the people H Is
there to make good the silver certificates ,
and the government has no authority t : > pay
out a dollar of It. "
Several similar queries from the tame
source were aptly answered , and the ef
fective replica aroused the limit marked
enthusiasm of the meeting
Mr. lloaouliter denounced the statement
that James U , Illalno was In favcr of a de
based currency as an unqualified falsehood.
He quoted a vigorous declaration In favor
of u sound cnnciic. mnde by Mr. Ulnlno In
1S7H , when the difference between the In
trinsic valua of the. gold dollar and the sll-
\ur dollur was only 7 cents. At that time
Mr ninlno hnd Rene on record ngilnit the

Referring to Mr , Ilrynn'a frequent mention
of the "hnndfttl'of gold" with which It wns
proposed to do the business of the world the
speaker rcmnrkcl that It thnt "handful ot

"Tho political enemies of Hon. David II.
Mercer , knowing our clllclcnt nnd popular
coMgicMsmnn cannot leave the bedside of
his sick wife In Washington , have begun
a campaign of slander. They have Hooded
the district with lies , nnd the committee
Is Informed that these contemptible nnd
cowardly assaults upon the public record

"The friends of our congressman cannot
bo misled by campaign roorbacks and the
sneaking tactics of unscrupulous political
mciibgci ! , , who would strike down the best
man the district ever sent to congress
"Dnvlu H. Mercer needs no defense ex
cept vlth voters who do not Know him or
nre not familiar with his record. The cow-
nrdlv conduct of his political cr-emlcs ought
to lead upon their heads , and the can
didate for congress who sanctions the meth
ods of the pollUcnl assassin should bo re
buked nl the polls by honest voters who
believe If dicent politics.
"This committee has refused to nttnck
the personal character or the past political
caieer of Mr. .Mercer's opponent , nnd will
not bu e.rlvcn tli'tb that sort ot campaign
ing Neither will It attempt further to
characterize the treatment which thnt gen
tleman's backers have accorded an honor
able1 absent 'opponent. '
"Sulllcc It to sa * that these attacks upon
Mr Mercer will and should stimulate his
friends to renewed efforts In his behalf
Every Mercer mau In the district should
appoint himself a campaign committee of
one to work fromfthls until Tuesday night
to swell Dave'Mercer's majority , ns a re
buke to the malingers of the triple combina
tion who scale his defeat.
"In n letter to the chairman of his com
mittee , canceling hla speaking dates nnd
turning over' his campaign for re-election
to his friends , Mr. Mercer wrotet these
wordsI regret that" ! cannot go htlmo as
I expected. My wife Is sick , and will not
bo able to sit un for three weeks. She
has typhoid favor. I have two trained
nurses nnd the best of medical attention ,
but she has had a narrow call , and Is not
jet out of danger , I propose to remain
with her so long as nny danger exists , con
gress or no congress. I cannot get nn-
other wife like her. but I can get another
job If my absence from active pciMinal
campalgnlnz defeats me. '
"Tho nrsucr of the old soldiers and of
every right thinking citizen , ns well , was
wired to Congressman MercerVe honor
you for remaining at the post of duty , and
you shall have our votes unanimously. Stay
with your sick wife. We will take care
of jour campaign '
"The committee relies upon every friend
ot Congressman Mercer to protect his In
terests In his absence , and again Invites
the co-operation of men of all political par

found them nil standing unanimously for

"I will , of course , vote the- republican

I believe to be the best candidates , but this
jenr I have no reason for not voting the
republican ticket straight. My con
science would not permit me to vole-
for nny other party. I wish to see
that side win which gives 100 cents on thu
dollar and not 53 cents nnd this nlso for
moral reasons , because the moral Influence
of the dishonest financial system would tend
tn destroy the people's Idea of right \ind

"Since wo have for so many years sought

would bo millionaires In the-morning and go

The Interviewer nsked the doctor's opin

his opinion , would follow the victory of one !

"Judging from the ballots thnt some Chicago - i
