Two Sides to the Story.
Tho gold standard, we were told,
was the scarce and dear dollar. Prices
could never rise, but must go on fal
ling, falling. The gold barons would
have all tho money. Labor would be
enslaved, The workman, or small
tradesman, never could own his homo.
Wages would fall to tho starvation
point. Farm products would bring
nothing. On Uioho croaklngs even
Oregon came near casting Its vote for
Bryan.
But the gold standard was upheld
and now what? From tho Hame sources
we hear that high prices are ruining
us. Wages are so high that houses
eant bo built. All materials have
gone to excosHlve prices, And tho
cost of living has increosed to such
extent that the wages of the workman
will not support his family the high
wages tho employer grumbles about.
