Major McKlnley'e letter of aonoptnrioe Is as sound as a gold dollar. Tbe fol lowing are Home of bis bent points: WbBt free Coinage MmhIi Tbe character of tbe money which shall measure our values and exchanges and aetMe onr balances with one another and with the tint ions of the world is of iroch primary importance and so fur reafhlng in its consequences as to call for the most painstaking investigation, and in the end a sobnr and unprejudiced judgment at the polls. We must not be minted by phrases nor deluded by false theories. Froo silver would not moan that silver dollars were to bo freely had without cost or labor. It would mean the free use of the mints of the United States for the few who are owners of silver bullion, but would make silver coin no freer to the many who are en gaged in other enterprise It would not make labor easier, the hours of labor shorter or the pay better. It would not make farming less labori ous or more profitable. It would not start a factory or make a demand for an additional day's labor. It would create no new occupations. It would add . nothing to the comfort of the masses, the capital of the people or the wealth of tbe nation. It seeks to introduce a new measure of value, but would add no value to the thing measured. It would not conserve values. On the con trary, it would derange all existing val ues. It would not restore business con fidence, but its direct effect would be to destroy the little which yet remains. The meaning of the coinage plan adopted at Chicago is that any one may take a quantity of silver bullion, now worth 63 oents, to the mints of the United States, have it coined at the ex pense of the government aud receive for it a silver dollar which shall be legal tendor for the payment of all debts, pub llo and private. The owner of the silver l bullion would get the silver dollar. It would belong to him and nobody else. Other people would get it only by their labor, the products of their lund or something of value. Tbe bullion owner, on the basis of present values, would re ceive the silver dollar for 58 cents' worth of silver, and other people would be required to receive it as a full dollar in the payment of debte. The govern ment would get nothing from the trans action. It would bear the expense of coining the silver, and the community would suffer loss by its usa Silver Dollars Now on a Gold Boats, We have coined since 1876 more than 400,000,000 of silver dollars, which are maintained by the govern ment at parity with gold and are full legal tender for the payment of all debts, publio and private. How are the silver dollars now in use different from those which would bo In use under free ooinago! They are to be of the same weight and flnoness, They are to bear s the same Btamp of the government VWhy would they not be. of the aame value? 1 answer : The silver dollars now in use were coined on account of the government, and not for private account or gain, and the government baa sol emnly agreed to keep thorn as good as the best dollars wo hava The govern ment bought the silver bullion at its market value and coined it into silver dollars. Having exclusive control of the mintage, it only coins what it can hold at a parity with gold. The profit, rep resenting the difference between the commercial value, of the silver bullion and the face value of the silver dollar, goes to the government for the benefit of the poopla Vtnun and Laborers Would Batter Moat. If there is any one thing which should be free from speculation and fluctuation, It is the money of a country. It ought never to be the subject of mere partisan contention. When we part with our la bor, our products or our property, we should receive in return money which is as stable and unchanging in value as the togeunity of honest men can make it Debasement of the ourroncy means , destruction of values. No one suffers so much from cheap money as the farmers and laborers. They are the first to feel its bad effects and the last to recover from them. This has been the uniform experience of all countries, and here as elsewhere. The poor, and not the rioh, re always the greatest sufferers from every attempt to debase our money. It would fall with alarming severity upon Investments already mode, upon Insur ance companies and their policy holders, upon savings banks and their depositors, upon building 1 and loan association members, upon the savings of thrift ,' upon pensioners and their families, and - cpon wage earners and the purchasing power of their wages. Good Money Never Mada Ttuaes Hard. It is a mere pretense to attribute the bard times to the fact that all our cur rency is on a gold basis. Good monoy never made times hard. Those who as sort that our present industrial and finanoiul depression is the result of the gold standard have not read American history aright or been oareful students of the events of reoent years. We never had greater psos purity in this oountry, in every field of employment and indus try, than in tbe busy years from 1880 to 1892, during all of which time this oountry was on a gold basis and em ployed more gold money in its fiscal and business operations than ever before. Thrift's Bavlncs Would Shrink. The savings bank deposits of the United States amount to i 1.800, 000,000 on a gold basis. Under free coinage they would shrink in aotuul value to about $900,000,000. If this oountry is big enough to ""get along" with a 60 cent dollar, it is big enough to gut along twine as well with a real dollar. Honesty ILeads to rroaperlty. No oountry can prosper that habitually tolls lit. If the United States stamps the lie "This is $1" on pieoee of silver worth 68 oents, it will have taken the first step away from the straight path ttf uatiuntil truth and honor. WHERE THE WORKWOMAN WILL GET IT. t f. r 'v mi. mm V (Prom Harper's Weekly. Coprrlfht IBM, by Harper a Brothers.) BsTsJf To WoRMNaiuif: "Now, hold still, and I'll ont your dollar is two without hurting yon a bit " BOURKE COCKRAN 6N BRYAN. TKe Btoqnent Ks-Conffresamaa Exposes ttaa Free Silver Praod on Working In his great speech in Madison Square Garden, New York oity, ex-Congressman Bonrke Oochran said in reply to Presidential Candidate Bryan : If everything in this world or in this country, including labor, be increased in value tomorrow in like proportion, not one of us would be affeoted at all. If that was Mr. Bryan's scheme, he would never have a Populist nomination to give him importance in the eyes of this community. If that were all that he meant he would not be supporting it, and I would not be taking the trou ble to oppose it If everything in the world be increased 10 percent in value, why, we would pay ft) per cent in addi tion for what we would bny and get 10 per cent more for what we would soil. What, then, is it? It is an Increase in the price of commodities and allowing labor to shift for itself. If the price of commodities be increased and the price if labor be loft stationary that means a cutting down of the rate of wages. If, instead of a dollar which consists of a given quantity nf gold equal to a hun dred oents anywhere in the world, with the purchasing power of a hundred cents, the laborer is to be paid in dol lars worth 60 oents each, he can only buy half as much with a day's wages as he buys now. If the valne of this Popu list scheme, then, is to be tested, let the laboring men of this country ask Mr. Bryan and his Populist friends a simple, common, everyday qnestion, "Where do I come in? ' Mr. Bryan himself has a glimmering Idea of where the laborer will oome in. or, rather, of whore he will go out There is one paragraph in his speech whioh whether it was the result of an unconscious stumbling into candor or whether it was a contribution made in the stress of logical disoussion I am ut terly unable to say that throws a flood of light upon the whole purpose underly ing this PopuliBt agitation. Wage earn ers, Mr. Bryan says, know that while a gold standard raisos the purohasing power of the dollar it also makes it more diffloult to obtain possession of the dollar. They know that employment is less permanent, loss of work more prob able and re-employment loss certain. If that means anything, it meaus that cheap dollar would gtve him mora employment, more frequent em ployment, more work and a chanoe to got re employment after he was dis charged. If that means anything in the world to a sane man, it means that if the laborer is willing to have his wages out down he will get more work. . - If it were true that a reduction in the rate of wages would incroaso the chanoe of employment, I would not blame Mr. Bryan for telling the truth, because, however unpalatable the truth may be, I conceive it the duty of any man who attempts to address his fellow oitrkens never to shrink from a statement of the whole truth, whatever may be the oon sequences to himself. But, as a matter of foot, a diminution in the rate of wages doea not increase the aoope of employ ment ' There cannot be an abundant produot nnleas labor is extensively employed. You cannot have high wages unless there is an extensive production in ev ery department of Industry, and that is why I claim that wages are the one sole tust of a oountry's oondition that high wagr mean abundant protection, and abundanoe necessarily means pros perity. Mr. Bryan, on tbe other hand, would have you believe that prosperity is advanced by cheapening the rate of wages, but the fall in the rate of wages always onmoa from a narrow produc tion, and narrow production means there is little demand for labor in the market When, after the panto of 1878, the prloe of labor full to 60 oents a day, it was harder to obtain work than when the rate of labor was , and the differ ence between the Populist, who seeks to cut down the rate of wages, aud tbe Democrat, who seeks to protect it, is that the Democrat believes that high wages and prosperity are synonymous, and the Populist wants to out the rate of wages in order that he may tempt the farmer to make war upon his own workimnnen. , now do you find buaiuesu? If you want to borrow money, are you not told that this free silver racket is soaring in vestors? Don't manufacturers ooniplain that they have difficulty in getting loans with which to buy raw material, pay wages and carry stocks of gooda?

I say this advisedly after a oareful examination of th situation from all points of view.
