A vote for McKlnley on Nov. 3 will be
a vote to Invite back those conditions
which our history shows mnke for fren
rral confidence and prosperity.
To the Workingman.
"We Invite the attention of working
men to the following; fact relative to
the free sliver proposition. The Hry
nnltos nsk you to vote for a law which
tvHI enable every owner of silver bill
lion to take 63 cents' worth of that bul
lion to a mint of the United States and
fret In return, without expense, a brand
new dollar which shall be legal tender
for 100 cents' worth of debt.
That, of course, would be a good
thing for the bullion-owner, but how
would It benefit you?
We will suppose that the bullion
owner, after he gets a supply of these
new dollars, will want to spend them.
Now one thing is certain. He will not
give them away. The only way you
can get one of them Is by working for
It. Let us, then, suppose that the bullion-owner
wants certain work done
and that he hires you to do it. Upon
what basis will he pay you? His dol
lar cost him exactly 63 cents. Will he
give you a dollar In wages In exchange
for 63 cents' worth of work? If ho will,
then undoubtedly you would share In
the advantages of free coinage and
ought to vote for It. But is It your ex
perience with human nature that
wealthy men who get 47 per cent, profit
In a certain transaction are In the hab
it of turning to the men who work for
them and giving them the benefit of
this profit? Have you found that to be
characteristic of employers as a class?
And If It Is not characteristic of them
now, would free coinage modify and
ameliorate their hitherto selfish na
tures? Hut if the government may give to
the bullion-owner 100 cents' worth of
legal tender money for 63 cents' worth
of commercial value, why should It not
give to the workingman 100 cents' worth
of legal tender money for 63 cents' worth
of work? The one would be just as
fair and reasonable as the other. The
bullion-owner has no more right to
makn 47 per cent, gift profit out of the
government than the working men has,
He can't get this right unless the voters
give It to him. Why should they feath
er his nest and leave their own bare?
It may have been sentimental on the
part of Bourke Cock'ran'a audience to
vary sound money oratory with pa
triotic songs, but it at least shows that
the people recognize the vital Import
ance of this campaign.
It is no doubt chivalrous on the
part of the local Democratic or
gan to rush to the defense of Wana
maker, but that does not alter the fact
that grave charges are In circulation
concerning the part which money is
said to be playing in behalf of the
Philadelphia merchant's senatorial
boom We hope . those charges are
untrue; hut whether true or false, we
don't see why the people of Pennsyl
vania should be asked to chose as one
of their national senators a man whose
chief recommendation appears to be his
wealth. .
Mr. Bryan's denial that he received
pay from the silver mine-owners of
course ends the matter, but what an un
grateful lot those mine-owners must bat
! do not know what you think
about It, but I believe that it is a
good deal better to open the
mills of the United States to the
labor of America than to open np
the mints of the United States
to the silver of the world."
WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
When the working man can get a dol
lar for 53 cents' worth of work then he
ought to favor giving the owner of sil
ver bullion a dollar for 63 cents' worth
of sliver, but not before.
The Absurdity of It.
It has cost the government a great
sum already to keep Its silver money
up to a parity with gold. A recent
statement prepared by the director of
the mint at the request of Senator
Sherman shows that the aggregate
amount and cost of silver bullion pur
chased under the act of February 28,
1878, and July 14, 1890, were as follows:

The government has had to sell bonds
and increase the national debt in order
to maintain the parity between Its gold
coins and Its silver coins, and for a very
good reason. If it once failed to keep
these coins at an equality of vulue, the
gold coins would go to a premium, all
debts would be paid In depreciated sil
ver and every depositor In a bank, ev
ery man with savings, every day la
borer would have his earnings cut down
to the extent of silver's depreciation,
or almost one-half. An honest govern
ment would never permit this If it could
prevent it.
It Is true that this parity between
our gold and silver money was not dif
ficult to maintain before the Democrats
crippled the nation's revenues with
their deficit Wilson bill. It is true that
we had no such difllcultles with our na-
tional finances In the good, old Repub
lican days of Protection and a treasury
surplus. And we therefore hold Mr.
Cleveland and his associate free trad
ers responsible for our present predica
ment. Hut no matter where the blame
lies, the fact remains that If our gold
and our silver money were not kept at
a pnrity by the strong arm of the
American government there would be
such a crash In the business affairs of
this country as has never been paral
leled In the nation's history. Though
It has cost us a good deal of money to
maintain this parity, it has saved us
an incalculably larger sum. It is Im
possible to conceive a limit to the disas
ters which would have ensued bad this
parity not been maintained.
Yet In the face of this warning as to
the dangers in even a limited coinage
of silver, a large party today actually
has the hardihood to come before the
people with the proposition that the
present limit to our coinage of silver
shall be abruptly brushed away; that
in defiance of its commercial value we
shall undertake, alone and single-hand
ed, to coin all the sliver In all the world
which shall be presented for that pur
pose, not at 32 to 1, its real value In the
markets of the world, but at the arti
ficial, inflated value of 10 to 1. And
this party, moreover, has the effront
ery to tell us, in contradiction both of
demonstrated fact and of eminent and
trustworthy prediction, that such a
wholesale coinage of cheap silver, at
at artiiiclal, part flat value, will not
sacrifice the parity between gold and
silver, will not send gold to a premium
and will not bring on any of the evils
which history and common sense unite
In pointing out as inevitable conse
quences of a debasement of the cur
rency, but will, Instead, make the poor
rich, the sorrowful glad, the envious
satisfied and the downtrodden happy.
What arrant, transparent, ridiculous
nonsense!
In private business relations there's
no hesitancy In characterizing the
man who borrows at the rate of 100
cents on the dollar and tries to repay
at tho rate of 60 cents. Why, then,
should Uncle Sam become a dead beat?
Free Coinage Clearly Explained.
The following explanation of the free
coinage proposition ia truthful and
clear. It has been prepared at Repub
lican national headquarters, and de
serves to be read by every voter:
A silver dollar weighs sixteen times as
much a gold dollar. This is what Is meant
by the coinage of sliver "at the ratio of
Hi to 1." "Free" coinage of silver means
ttiat sliver bullion, when brought to tho
mint, shall be coined into dollars at the
expense of the United States government
without cost to the owner. By the "un
limited" coinage of silver Is meant that
all the silver, American or foreign, brought
to any of our mints shall be ao coined at
the owner's demand.
When the ratio of 10 to 1 was estab
lished by the government sixteen ounces
of silver bullion were worth in the market
just as much as one ounce of gold bullion.
A silver dollar and a gold dollar were then
worth precisely the same before they were
coined, when they were coined, or after
they were melted. The face value of the
sliver dollar was its actual value. But of
late years pure silver has declined in
value, so that now the commercial ratio,
Instead of being 16 to 1, Is about 31 to 1.
That is to say, an ounce of gold bullion
Is exchangeable for thirty-one ounces of
silver bullion. Instead of being exchange
able for only sixteen ounces of silver bul
lion, as It formerly was. Silver bullion is
thus worth In gold only about half os
much as it waa when the coinage ratio
was made IS to L
A silver dollar, with the stamp of the
government upon it, passes for mors than
It Is worth. Just as a paper dollar passes
for more than the paper upon which It is
printed Is worth. The credit of the gov
ernment is behind the paper dollar, and
the credit of the government is behind the
silver dollar. The United States govern
ment lends its credit to every man with'
an American silver dollar in his pocket, so
that he can pay 100 cents of debt with 52
cents' worth of silver. But the credit of
the government is not behind the uncoined
silver In the form of bullion. Therefore,
the bullion is exchangeable for other com
modities only to the amount of its actual
or intrinsic value. The "free and unlim
ited coinage of sliver at the ratio of 18 to
1" means, therefore, that the government
of tho United States, instead of pledging
Its credit for the maintenance of a limited
amount of coined silver at parity witn
Hold, shall pledge its credit for the main
tenance of a limited amount of silver, now
worth only 31 to 1, at a parity with gold at
a ratio of 10 to 1. By this the Untied States
would undertake to double the value ot
every ounce of silver, coined or uncolne.l,
in the world, and extend an invitation to
all nations to send their surlus silver here
to bo coined Into sliver dollars at a ratio
of It! to 1. These silver dollars, if coined
in an unlimited quantity, would not be
worth as miRh us gold dollars, because it
Is tho credit cf the government which
makes those e now have equal In pur
chasing Lower to a gold dollar, and tne
rredlt of th government Is not without
limit.
"Unlimited" coinage of silver would ex
haust Its credit by exhausting its power to
redeem its ple-la to maintain silver at a
parity with Hold nt tho ratio of 16 to 1. The
consequence would be that the silver dol
lar would von decline in purchasing power
to the commercial value of the bullion it
contains, and would bo worth little. If
any, more than half a dollar in gold. As
all private and public debts not explicitly
payablo in geld would then be payable
In these half-rate dollars, our gold woull
disappear from circulation, and would
quickly be drawn out of the country in
paying our obligations and purchase
from gold using countries, where our
silver coins would not be accepted. As a
consequence we phould In a few months
lose all of our 1612,000,000 of gold, leaving
us with a rmK-'h contracted and greatly
depreciated currency. A disastrous
panic would ersuc followed by the sus
pension of thousands or factories, and
business houses, n b ttuT.il business col
lupfo and the loss of employment by Hun
dred of thousands of wage-earners und
laborers.
Under our present monetary system nnd
until the agltution for the free coinage of
silver become a dangerous menace to
business and lnbor we had the most pros
perous yeurs known in American history.
The Times says It cannot see how a
free silver dollar can purchase more In
the hands of the mine-owner than In
the hands of a workingman. But that
isn't the point. The mine-owner BtarU
to the mint with 63 cents' worth of sil
ver bullion nnd takes back a legal ten
der dollar. Itesult, a profit of 47 cents.
Now the workingman comes along and
wants to earn that dollar. Can he earn
It by doing 63 cents' worth of work?
Not on your life, Mr. Times.
We sometimes wonder whether, If
drover Cleveland could have foreseen.
In ISM, the full consequences of his
demagogic massing of class against
class, he would have applied the mutch
to the Populistlc prairie grass of the
south and west. Evidently, though,
he bad no such foresight.
We begin to suspect, as we perceive
each day some new statement or denial,
that the Hon. Jennings liryan is
something of an artist in getting- free
advertising.
" Before we vote to give the owners of
silver mines a clean bonus of 47 cents
on the dollur let us make Bure we will
eventually g6t some of it back.
Carl Browne out on the stump for
Bryan is another good reason why men
of patriotism and commoi sense should
vote for McKlnley. j
CENTER SHOTS.
From a Speech of John K. Tanner, Ile
publlcan Candidate for Governor of Illi
nois. "The Democratic politicians have cham
pioned free silver In a spirit of sheer reck
lessness. They know very well that It
will prove dlsustrous in practice; but these
Democratic bosses saw that every ad
vantage they promised the mechanic, the
farmer and the laborer as a result of tar
iff revision on Democratic lines had van.
Ished away in the light of a very sad
experience. They felt they must find u
new issue or go down; they knew they
could not muke the old Democratic mlil
grind In 18l with the water that turned
It and passed on In 18'J2. They were con.
fronted with the necessity of making tha
voters believe their present distress re
sulted from something beclfles reckless
Democratic tariff tinkering, so they again
trusted to popular credulity, while they
explained through weary columns cf
sophistry that It Is a stringency of the
currency, consequent on silver demoneti
sation, which really affects the country.
They think possibly they, may kick up a
dust over the currency that In the result
ing confusion they may betake themselves
to a place of political safety. In this
spirit and upon this policy our poocrat!c
friends have tendered to us the issue of
free trade nnd free unlimited coinage of
silver, nt the ratio of 10 to 1. We accept
their challenge; we will meet them upon
their own chosen ground, and we shnll
learn whether this new and even more
mischievous humbug than that which
won In lWJ can now be yoked up with tho
latter and be again successful at the ballot
box In K.
il H i
"Free sliver coinage in America, at the
ratio of K to 1, means. In the first place,
silver monometallism, and, therefore, for
a time at least, contraction and not ex
pansion of the currency. The J3Sil.820.llil
gold coin, now In actual circulation, will
at once retire from business because the
MO-ccnt gold dollar will refuse to circulate
In company with the flat &J-cent silver dol
lar. It means the exclusion of the United
States from a position as one of the fa
vored and controlling nations of the earth
and places us with Mexico, China anil
Japan. It means that every savings hank
may pay Its depositors In a currency hnlf
as valuable as it received. It means that
Insurance companies may pay their losses
in a money hnlf as valuable as that con
templated when they issued policies am!
half as valuable as that in which premi
ums and dues were received. It means
thot the laborer must measure his wages
In a dollar which will buy Tor his table
only half the meat ami potatoes that the
dollar of today will purchase. It means
that the old, decrepit veteran shall re
ceive a pension of half-value and that ev
ery guardian can settle with his orphan
ward on a basis of 30 cents on the dollar.
The proposition is as impudent as it is
dishonest.
II M II
"It would doubtless be convenient yes,
'and would be Immensely prolltable to cho
owner of a silver mine to be able, when
ever he chose to carry 30 cents worth of
silver to the mint and have stamped upon
It the eagle which proclaims it a dollar,
and which compels you and me to receive
It as a dollar from the favored mine
owner as a payment of any debt he may
owe us. That would be good for the mine
owner, but would It not be a little tough
on the rest of us? The government will
not put Its stamp on the farmer's bushel
of corn or wheat or pound of pork and
say: "This Is a dollar.' It will not certiry
that the toil and sweat of the laborer or
mechanic Is to be a legal tender In the
market for any certain price. It puts no
stamp of value on the weaver's web ot
cloth or upon the cooper's casks. Every
man beneath the flag must shift for him
self, paving and excepting alone, the pro
prietors of sliver mines, who are to be
come special wards of the government and
to be made rich by statute.
l II II
our commercial rivals would be de
lighted to see us jump neck-deep Into this
free sliver 14 to 1 quagmire wbleh the
mine-owners anil their lemorratlc allies
have prepared for us. They know tint
In every part of the world the value
measure of gold would still be applied to
our cheap money, and to all odr commer
cial products, whether we consent or not,
or whether we like it or not. We might
pass laws, and threaten and bluster about
how great we are and how independent
we are, but tho yard stick of gold value
would be ruthlessly laid upon our cheap
stiver, and It would be rated at the Euro,
pean market price a price In the fixing
of which. In the absence of treaty stipu
lation, Americans would huve little or no
voice.
'I II il
"All told, more than JitW.OOO.OOO of sliver
(JieS.TlSUiill were, in fifteen years follow
ing 1873, udded to the volume of the cur
rency. In that fifteen eara many tlm'9
more silves was used for American dol
lars than had been before used for that
purpose, all told, since Washington's flr.t
inauguration. Let me be more explicit.
1 say more than sixty times us much sil
ver has been coined Into dollars Hince 1b"3
than had ever been colre.l into American
dollars in nil the time since American
coinage began. Ar-d yet. it is brasenly
asserted that Rcpublirnn sliver legisla
tion has enormously contracted the cur
rency, and that the American market
for silver bullion has been destroyed by
demonetisation of the Bllver dollar. Re
spectable men ought to be ashamed to
howl such gross misstatements In the face
of an Intelligent people.
"The last three years have been hard
years. Industrially considered, but they
have been rich In the lessons of experi
ence. The object lesson upon the tariff
has been complete. Those years have
made It necessary that every Democratic
orator should rewrite his tariff speech.
The old free trade lingo, which smote the
American ear for a quarter of a century,
will be listened to no more. The pat, lit
tle dctnorstratlon that the protective tar
iff is nothing but a tax, which the con
sumer pays, und the glowing account of

"Governor Altgeld said In his speech at
the Auditorium that putting more money
Into business Is like putting more blood
Into the human body. The parallel Is un
fortunate. Too much blood in the human
body, particularly if It Is not good blood,
Is a most fatal disorder. A debased cur
rency, like Impoverished blood In the hu
man veins. Is worse ami more deadly the
more you have of It. Blood will not nour
ish and sustain the body unless It Is
pure; and money, though piled mountain
high, will not stimulate business and in
spire confidence, unless It Is stable and
sound.

"Surely the same men, who four yenrs
ago, persuaded the mechanic that the way
to have good wages was for the Ameri
can to liny his goods In England, ought
now to advise him to cut W per cent, off
the yard stick with which his wages are
to be measured. The mechanic swallowed
the first bait hook, liob and sinker and
It remains to be seen whether he will
tnke this less tempting bait with equal
avidity.

"It Is not a lack of money that has pros,
trated business, but a luck of confidence
to call that money out Into the great chan

The Mexican prices are the prices which
prevail in the free zone, on which there
Is small duty. Of course, in the interior
they would be higher. I also find that
Mexican labor In Mexico, in the larger
cities, is paid from 75 cents to $1.50 a day
in Mexican silver. The highest price for
the very best and most skilled laDor is (3

Interior of Mexico, in the country, nnd
the smaller cities, the wages pal l are from
20 to 33 per cent, lower than given above.
