Wage earners, Mr. Bryan says, know that while a gold standard raisos the purchasing power of the dollar it also makes it more difficult to obtain possession of the dollar. They know that employment is less permanent, loss of work more pro bable, and re-einployment less oar- tain. If that means anything it means that a cheap dollar would give him more employment, more frequent employment, more work and a ohanoe to get re-employment after he, was discharged. Well, now, if that means anything in the world to a sane man, it means that If the laborer is willing to have his wages cut down he will get more work. Burke Cochran's speech in Madison Square Garden. Editorial. FARMERS THINK AND READ, The free silver campaign is ad dressed largely to the farmers of the country, and the flattering idea is held out to them that if we have more money prices of produoq will materially advance in proportion This is the same chaff with which they were caught four years ago. Then the cry was the tariff is a tax and that superficial argument had its weight in controlling their votes Let them go a little deeper this time, and admitting that cheaper money would raise prices, let thern ask ' would it increase values ? There is a vast difference between the two propositions. The one is pure sop histry and the other sound sense. If the free silver champion can de monstrate that an unlimited ad dition to the money of the country will cause farm products to be of greater value ; that a bushel of oorn now worth 30 cents, or a pound of butter worth in New York from 11 to 16 cents will bring under free sil ver double these prices.and that the dollar so obtained will have groator purchasing power than the dollar now lias, than he will be benefitted to just that extent. If the farmer under free silver can sell oorn at 60 cents and butter at 25 or 80 cents, and that money will buy in the markets double what the present prices will thon the farmer should vote for silver. JJIf the laborer or the mechanio now receiving 1 or f 2 per day will have his wages doubled and he can purchase of food and clothing double the amount he now does then he should vote for free silver. But he should not do so until it is made clear to his mind that the value of the money he receives is greater than its present value, hat is, that its purchasing power in his hands is increased in proportion to the rise. If this is not to be so thon where is his gain ? He will follow a Will-o'-the-Wisp into a quagmire and real tzo too late that he has boon made a tool to aid a coterie of silver mine owners to multiply their wealth at his expense. Keep your eye on the question, " Will value be increased by free silver ?" SILVER WOULD NOT RISE. Mr. Bryan said that the United States was big enough, powerful enough and patriotic enough to raise the price of silver if free coinage was established. Mexico, China and the other free sil ver countries must be wholly lack ing in these national traits for they have not been able to keep up the price of silver, and the assertion that this country could do so is not Dorne out by the history of other nations. The facts are against it. The decline in the price of silver is due to the increased production of the metal with a lower cost of pro duction, and to a lessened demand resulting from the closing of the mints of other countries to its coin age. in 1893 when the mints of India were closed to the free coin age of silver by order of the British Government, the prioe of silver bul lion declined in New York from 80 cents an ounce to 60 cents an ounce within three days. Since 1873 Bel gium, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Greece, Switzerland, Finland, the Dutch colonies, Spain, Austria-Hungary, Egypt.Roumania, Tunis, Chili and" Costa Rica have either adopted the gold Btandard or limited their coinage of silver. Why did all these nations " commit the crime " of turning from silver to gold ? And if we adopted free coin ago all their silver would be brought here for coinage. Can any sane man say the prioe would rise ? THEN AND NOW. This is what the Chicago platform on which Mr. Bryan stands says on tne currency question in lsao : We demand the free and nn limited coinage of both silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation." This is what Senator Jones, of Nevada, one of the ablest silver ad vocates in the country, said on the subject in 1874 : ' I believe the soonor we come down to a purely gold standard the better it will be for the country." What great light has been seen since 1874 r Did it shine from Bonan?A s liver mine 1 Challenge and Beplr. That the wages of labor consist not in mouey, which is a more med ium of exchange, but in the com modities which it buys that is, in money s worth was easily shown. Then the main question for the laborer is the money's worth. Now, the whole aim of the Bryan party is to introduoe a Bllver dollar worth loss than the gold dollar now in use. It follows that unless the laborer gets a larger number of these silver dollars than he now gets of gold dollars he will be in a worse condition than he is in now. This is so clear that Mr. Bryan bad to meet it in some way. Ho w did he meet it T This part of Mr. Cock ran 's reply is perhaps the most telling point in his discourse Mr. Bryan said : "Wage-earners know that while a gold standard raises the purchas ing power of the dollar.it also makes it more difficult to obtain possession of the dollar. They know that em ployment is less permanent, loss of work more probable, and re -employ ment less certain. To which Mr. Cockran responded : "If that means anything in the world to a Bane man, it means that if the laborer is willing to have his wages cut down he will get more work. There never was a boss of an establishment yet that meant to make a cut in wages who did not say that. I have never yet heard of anybody who attempted to cut down the rate of wages telling his men that he did it because he liked to do it. They would tell their men : If you do not stand such a out in wa ges I cannot employ you more than half the time, and that is what Mr Bryan proposes for the laboring musses of this community that they take a dollar of less purchasing power, so that employment win be. become more certain and the chan ces of re-employment more fre quent." In other words, the chance of em. ployment at 60 cents a day will be greater than at tl per day, and that in a gtxxi reason for reducing wages one-hull all around ! FINANCIAL PANICS. No On In This Country has been Caused by a Lack of Currency. New Orleans Picayune, Pern. There have boon ten periods of financial convulsion in this oonntry. They have been stated as follows, giving dates and causes. Some wero very serious, others loss so : but they were plainly the result of causes which destroyed business oonfldenoe and produced a sudden and gonernl withdrawing of money from busi ness enterprises and the locking of it up in vaults and other places of supposed safety. Following were the panic periods : 1818 A result' of the war ; closing of the ports ; speculation. 1826 and 1829 Unsound money; wild banking j expansion of credit. 1837 Unwise banking mothods . excessive speculation. 1848 Inflated values : overtrading at homo and abroad. 1857 Unsound financial met hods ; wild-cat business enterprises. 1864 An outcome of the Civil War. 1873 Excessive railroad building and overtrading following the war period. 1884 Inflated credits ; vicious banking. 1890 Mild disturbance, nn echo of the Baring crisis in England. 1893 Restriction of credits, liquidation in the stock market.bank failures and the closing of industrial establishments ollowing heavy gold exports and loss of confidence in ability to maintain a standard of value, together with an outlook for another change of tariff. It is plain at a glance that these financial convulsions were caused solely by forces which destroyed the credit and confidence which are absolutely necessary to the conduct of the business of a great agricultural and producing country.

Not a silver standard country exists in the world to day that has more than one third as muoh money in circulation per capl tft as the United States has. Fifth. Not a silver standard country exists in the world to-day in which the laboring man receives fair pay for his day's labor. Questions for Bryan. (From the New York Pross.) Once more, Mr. Bryan, we ask you to explain a few of your opin ions, beliefs and promises. The American people never will be con tent with your mere statement that free silver would be a good thing for the country. They never will be satisfied with" your unproved asser tion that the people will benefit by free coinage. They never will ac- oopt words for facts and sentences for figures. They want to know the why and how of everythina. They want you to prove some of the things yon say. Hero are some questions they ask : Is it not true that the actual sil ver in a silver dollaj is worth only 50 cents ? Ia is not true that in every country in the world the value of that country's standard currency is never more than the value of the metal oontained in the currency ? Can you deny this ? is it not true that one of our bi1 ver dollars now is worth two Mexi can silver dollars, but that under free coinage one of our silver dol lars would be worth less than one Mexican silver dollar r Uan you deny tnis I It is not true, then, that our labor would be paid in silver dollars worth loss than the Mexican fifty -cent dol lar r Can you deny this t Is it not true that, under free coinage, every depositor in a sav ings bank would lose half the value of his deposit amd every pensioner of the Government half the value of his pension ? Can you deny this t is It not true that, under free coinage of silver, there would be less money in circulation than there is now, because over half billion of gold would be driven out out of circulation t Can you deny this r These are questions that must be answered, Mr. .Bryan with some. thing more than word pictures about our beautiful country, with something more than advice to our citizens to do as you do and trust in silver. Then hero are some more How is free coinage to make more for the people r How can free coin, age open factories and mills ? How enn free coinage stop the rav ages or tne w ilson law r How can free coinage supply the Treasury (lelloloncy, which at presont aver ages something like a million dol lars a day V How can free coinage sell a sinirle additional grain of wheat or ear of corn for the farmer Y How are these thincs to be done Mr. Bryan, under your free coinage programme V If they can be done you must expluin how. A LESSON FROM EGYPT. Utinwln I'ffV T!it. Cnnnfry Fnl1A te Melntnlf the Ilsflo of SlTteen Onions to One Cat.. The ancient ?:yjliiiis hwl a currency bawd on cals and onions, both of which. Were sacred objects worshiped by the people. As there wus some difficulty in storing tho cats, and as tho onion was -.Vr&Sffc-r liable to decay, a circulating medium Was provided of papyrus strips, repre senting a certain number of cats and onions at a ratio of 16 to 1. This was a true double Btandard system and is be lieved to hare been the origin of modern paper currency. For a time the eat onion money circulated at par, but the historian Faque fiur records that about 908 B. a a serious difficulty arose. New colonies had been established in the region of the upper Nile, and the savage Nubians bad been taught the art of agriculture. The rich, black soil of the valley which they inhabited wa especially suited to the growth of onions, and the production of those per fumed bulbs was soon enormously in creased. Meanwhile the oat crop bad only grown in the usual ratio, and the result was that, with the demand for sacred animals in the new colonies, at least 80 onions would be given for one oat This brongh the papyrus ourrency Into disfavor, and the ruling pharaoh, Bam Buukshus III, issued a royal order that cats should be the sole standard of value, and that onions should be issued only to the extent that they could be kept at par with the "caterwanlors, " as the unit of vulrto was termed. This did not suit the onion growers, who at once started an agitation for the free and unlimited coinage of all onions at the good old ratio of their daddies. After passing 8, 1 S7.0 13 resolutions de nouncing tho horrible crimo of H(i8 the ouionites man-hod iu a body to the pal ace of their Phuraoh and demanded that the unjust law enacted at tho instance of the catbnps should be repealed and the bioatalho standard restored. Ram Bunkshus listened to them patiently and answered: "Oreut, no doubt, wad the wisdom of onr ancestors. But I am in the wisdom bnninoss myself to some ex tent When tho ratio of 18 to 1 was adopted, that was tho true ratio of the oats and onions. Nov, owing to a groat increase in tho quantity of onions, tho ratio is 80 to 1. All powerful as I am, I cannot make onions worth more than their market value. Tho present stand ard stays. As for you, O foolish ouion ites, your leaders shall feed the sacred crocodiles. Tho rest of you will return to your forms and hustle, I have re marked.

To a man who has no money there are several ways to got it nuiuoly t (a) Beg it (b) Steal it (o) Borrow it (d) Secure it by gift (e) Trade something for it If we are to beg for it, we might just as well do the best we can. Therefore a dollar based on a gold standard is better than a 16 to 1 silver dollar, which today ia worth about 58 oents intrinsically. If we are to steal it, we want the best A thief who would steal a silver dollar in preference to a gold dollar would be acquitted on the ground that he was in sane. If we borrow it, we want that kind of money which will go farthest, for so we oan get along with a smaller loan. Therefore a gold dollar is better to bor row than a 16 to 1 silver dollar. If we are to secure it by gift, certainly we ahould not depreciate that which we are about to receive. This brings us to e, which U the way most money la obtained. A perti nent question for each of us to ask at this time ia, What have I got to trade for money whioh I want? It may be labor; it may be a horsa or oow ; it may be lumber or shingles; it may be saw- milL At the present time we oan trade any of the abeve and get a gold dollar for every dollar's worth of value, as may be agreed upon between buyer and sell er. We can get a dollar which ia worth a dollur anywhere and everywhere. Now, your labor or hone or oow or lumber or mnchiuory will be worth Just as much, or nearly as much, next year as it is this, but if we have free coinage at 18 to 1 will tho dollar which you got In trade bo worth as much as the dollar you can get now? What will that be worth? Can yia toll? It may be worth S3 cents or moro or less. One day this. one day that, but can any one tell? These are ail pertinent quewtions, and. when carefully considered, moat guide us in voting at tho next election iu No vember, and do uot lo&wsiIitof tho fact that if all tht river iu the world is coined into uiom-y you oaiinot get u cent of it except by a, b, c, d or e, above re furred to.

Fopnlhtt Stftttxtu Wtilch Prove Boan4 Money Statement. Tho Arena, a Popnlist magazine, pub lishes a series of pictures Intended to ihow the great decrease in the purchas ing power of a balo cj cotton, owing to the alleged "dornonrti nation" of silver. The money value of tho first bale Is given ts41d.fl0in 18015. The next In the name series is for 1870, when the money value had shrunk to 1118.90. Other pictures give the varying valnes down to 1894, the conclusion from the whole being that the lack of free silver has Caused the fall in the price of cotton. How false this argnment is can be seen by lroking at the figures quoted. Between 1865 and 1870 the price of oot ton fell from 88.88 cents per pound to 28.98 cents. By 1878, the year of the "crime, " the price bad gone down to 18.80 ceuta In other words, the money value of a bale of cotton shrank from 1416.90 in 18015 to (94, a difference f 1323.90, while tho country had free coinage of silver at 18 to 1. Since that time the fall in price has been much less, having been only from 94 in 1878 to i)9 in 1898 at the present quota tions of 7.80 cents per pound. The history of cotton prices shows, therefore, that under free silver the price of a bale of cotton declined 323. 90, (Money valne o 600 pounds In 1866 at 10.6 per pound, M16.B0.) (Money value of 600 pound In 1878 at 10.18.90 per pound, tM. Money valne of tOO pounds In 1600 at t0.0f.80 per pound, tUl.J or 64.58 cents per pound, in eight yean, Under our present financial system the prico has only fallen $55 per bale, or 11 cents per pound, in 28 years. In face of these official figures how can any intel ligent man pretend that it was the chango in our currency laws in 1878 which has reduced tho money valne of cotton? Tho advocates of free silver may at tempt to answer this exposure of their low price for cotton argument by show ing that there was a great increase in the cotton crop between 1866 and 1878. This is true, but there has also been a far greater quantity of cotton produced every year since 1878 than ever before. tho crop for 181)2 reaching 9,085,879 bales as compared with 8,980,608 bales in 1873, the largest crop during the period from 1865 to 1873, so that if in. creased production caused the great do oline in price in one case it is surely fair to credit it, and not the stoppage of free silver coinage, with the lower prices of the past 23 years. Suppose Von Should Be Mistaken. Farmers who think that free silver will help them to get rid of their mort gages should consider carefully what ef fect a 1 6 to 1 la w will h ave on the lenders of capital. The silveritos are telling you beautiful stories about the great volume of money which will be ready for loan. ing at low rates of interest as soon ai we adopt the silver standard. But sup pose the scheme should not work in the way they expect? Suppose that as soon as it becomes likely that a free ooinage law will be enacted there is a general demand that all mortgages should at once be paid in full? The promise of cheap money when free silver oomes won't help you now. Where are you going to get the money to pay off yonr mortgage? Do you suppose any man is going to make loam while there ia possi bility of his being repaid in 60 oent dollars And if yon can't raise the money when it is called for, and if yonr farm is sold at a sacrifice, where will you be then? Think these things over. Don't be fooled by the free silver idea that cheap money means low rates of interest The facts are just the other way. Interest is far higher in all silver using countries than in gold countries. If we go on the silver standard the men who have oapl tal to lend will charge more interest than they do now in order to oover the riitk of being repaid In depreciated all ver dollars. So if you succeed in bor rowing under free coinage yon will pay higher interest on the loan. Ask any body who knows the facts whether in terest ia not much higher in Mexico, In. dia or the silver South American ooon. tries than in the United States, Eng land or Germany, with their ourrency baaed on gold. Then make up yonr mind that yon will vote for the financial sys tem which if left undisturbed will ben efit you for more thou free silver wilL Omrsnuit Ownership of Silver Mil , Why is it that both the Populists and the Uemocrars failed to pnt s plank in their platforms demanding that the government own and control the silver mines of this country, so that the profit which would be made from free ooinage would go to our government and thus indirectly be a benefit to the whole people? Why should this profit go to few individuals who own the silver mines and who are already enormously rich? Is not thin building up one of the most dangerous trusts that the country has ever seen? Think of a few men having under their control all tho silver of this ooun try and the government compelled to turn it into dollars as fast as they pro duce it I Suppose that these silver men oombiue to shut down work on their mines when they want to produce stringency in the money market, then open them again when ttiey want to make money abundant Would not this put the whole buaiuesa of the oouutry at their mercy? ft '- L llf mil WOULD HURT INSTEAD OF HELP. Row Free Cotne Wonld Injare the The chief strength of the 18 to 1 agi tation lies in the belief that it would benefit tho agricultural classes. This Is s serions error. The facts of all human experience show conclusively that free silver would oanse widespread and pro longed injury to the farmers of this country. The more threat of free coinage would greatly injnro tho farmers by causing an immediate calling in of all loans through the natural desire of lenders to get back money worth as much as they lent Hnndreds of thousands of farmers would be unable to pay their mort gages, and their farms would be sold at sacrifice. No new loans would be forthcoming, as the owners of capital would not Invest so long as there was any danger that by a change in the money standard the valne of loans would be cut in two. As the chief com plaint of the farmers now is that inter est is too high and capital too scarce. the effect of a policy which wonld make capital scarcer and dearer can be figured out by each farmer for himself. A second way in which free coinage would hurt agriculture would be by the financial panio which would inevitably follow the overthrow of our present sound fills wial system and the adoption of the rmatnMe cheap silver standard. With the millions of bank depositors demanding their Savings the machinery of credits, by which so large a part of the country s business is done, wonld be suddenly stopped. Merchants would be unable to buy goods for lack of credit ; manufacturing industries wonld be clos ed down, as in 1898, and millions of workers wonld be idle. Men out of em ployment do not buy as mnch farm products as when they are at work, and the farmers who now complain of the lack of markets for their produce wonld find themselves with a large port of their crops unsold. Would not this be a serious Injury to agrioulture? Another evil which free coinage wonld bring to American farmers would be the unsettlement of their trade rela tion with the great gold standard com mercial nations, whioh purchase each year $800,000,000 worth of our surplus farm products. The adoption of the sil ver standard, with its constantly fluotu ating Bcale of prices, would prove the same barrier to commerce between this and other countries that it has to trade between gold Btandard Europe and In dia, China and Japan. Do the farmers want to curtail and unsettle onr foreign trade? These are some of the ways in whioh free ooinage at 16 to 1 would hurt the farmers? No advocate of 68 oent dollars has ever been able to show a single way in which it wonld help them. One Neglected Detail. "No, sir," said the man who was chewing a long straw, "I ain't satisfied yet. I don't think ary one o' them con ventions went fnr enough. 'I thought you regarded the future Very hopefully. " 'I did fur a time. Bat in the exoite. ment we overlooked things thet orter 'a' been dona It never occurred ter me at the time, but we made a big mistake by not havina plank pnt inter the platform makin it ag'in the law fnr it ter rain on a man's hay when he's gone ter town ter 'tend a p'htical meetiu. ' Wash ington Star. With free coinage of silver at the ra. tio of 16 to 1 every mine in the world would be worked to its fullest capacity and the entire output dumped at our mints. Why? Because for every $9. 94 of silver bullion our government would give the owner 918.60 a net profit of 18.06 upon 16 ennoes. Who would blame the millionaires who own silver mines for making this money? Common people will be forced to take from the rich mine owner a dollur at 100 cents whose intrinsio value is about 53 oents and whose purchasing value is never higher than its intrinsio value. Rich. mondville (N. Y.) Phoenix. An Eminent Bimetallisms Opinion. Professor Edouard Suesa, the leading bimetallist of Austria, states briefly but with great force the objections to free ooinage by this country alone. The re. suit would be, be says, "the loss of all your (onr) gold, and the obligation to buy in England the gold necessary to meet your (oar) obligations in foreign oountriea" He declares that "one na tion alone ia too weak to take such step, which must lead to a financial and perhaps an economical crisis. " Conditions Prior to 1873. Some of the free ooinage men still say that all they want ia to "restore the conditions that existed prior to 1878. ' In 1878 (he total world's production of silver was 61,100,000 ounces and the silver in a dollar was worth 11.04 gold. Last year the world's product of silver was 165,000,000 ounces and the silver in a dollar - was worth only 60 7-10 oents. Will the silver miner! restore the production of 1878 as the first step toward "restoring the condi. tions? ' "Uoid is tne speculator's dollar" say the advocates of the silver standard. How about the , cheap money period from 1861 to 1878? Did not speculation of all kinds flourish then, and were not the gamblers in bonds, stocks or farm products greatly aided by the depreoi ated and fluctuating ourrency? Cheap money means dear goods. If yon want to pay doubled prices for what you buy and take slim chances of get ting more wages, vote for the 16 to schema. What Bryan's Speech Demonstrates. From the Sun, Dom. That there is nothing in tho free silver agitation. That it is all a mere bubble. That it will burst and go to pieces lonir before .November. Bryan himself hue pricked it, and now we have only to wait a little to see it collapse for good and all. Buuinettg is safe. The nation honor is secure from Baton. There will be no S3 cent dollars.
