This id a proposition tfbiuli touchea the bread aud butter of tbc majority of all the American people, for the watce earuing class is by far the larger portion of our total population. Not lees than four families out of every five in this country are 6Upported by weekly sala ries or daily wages, or by wages at fixed rates for piece work, so that CO.000,000 of our people, using round figures, stand today in tho shadow of a tremendous loes, which will surely fall upon them if tho threat of free silver coinage is car ried out. The payments to the wage earners of the United .Status are reason ably estimated by experts to bo fully $4,000,000,000 ajyear. Four thousand millions a year are owing to labor on the gold standard. Wage earners are a "credit class" to that extent. The basis of this estimate is the fact that there are -0,000,000 wage workers in this .country, and at an average of $200 a year each the grand total of their annual earnings is ,000,030,000. The last census shows that the total valuation of the country, including its property and wealth ol all kinds, was iM.OJO.COO.OOO in 1S00. The mortgage debt of the country wag at the Eame time in the neighborhood of 2,500,O00,00O. The amount ot mortgage debts annually paid off does not exceed $500,000,000. Therefore it plainly appears that eight times as large an amount is paid every year for wages in the United States as is annually paid in the cancellation of mortgage indebtedness. Assume then, with Mr. Bryan, that free silver coinjge would make it easier to pay debts, what will that do to the M.OOO.OOO wage earn ers of the country if the mortgage debt ors can only be relieved at the expense of a Iocs to them of at least one-third and very likely a larger slice of their paetcnt wages? The wage roll of the country, aggre gating fi.COO.OOO.OOO a year, is to be scaled down o0 per cent, possibly -IU per cent, in order that people who are in debt may get a shave of .the same ex tent on an annual mortgage payment of lets than $500,000,000. That is the Bryan party's avowed purpose. "The greatest good to the greatest number' has long been bell to be a sound princi ple of popular government. YVhy, then, should '.'0,000,000 wage earners be asked to accept $1,333,000,000 lets per year for their laoor, in order that not moro than one-twentieth of their number of mort' gage debtord shall be enabled to get : discount on their just debts cf less than $iur,tAW,wj a year.' 11 tne wage earn ers can clearly sec that this is what is proposed to be done by theJBryan party they will never consent to it. Hut it s necessary not mereiy to as sert but 13 prove to our worttr.g people tnat free silver coinage, if it comes, will reduce their wage3 by at Ictst one third. They have only to read the speeches of Mr. Bryan, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Jone., Mr. Teller, or Mr. Daniel to find fur themselves that one thing is con 13 dcntl predicted by every free silver ad vocate that the prices of all crops and staple products, except gold, will be raised immediately upon the opening of our mints to the unlimited coinage of the wh.te metal. Let us grant for the sake ol discussion, that this prophesy would prove true that food, clothing, fuel, house rentals and all 'necessaries' ot life would advance in cost from 30 to 10 per cent. Mr. Brvau eays that tbey would advance 50 per cent. That is. he prac tically said so in Madisou .Square gar den, when he declared his belief that free coinage would bring the market price of silver all over the world to double its present figure, and that all other prices would rise with it and in the same measure. Nowhere has he said, and no free silver champion has anywhere said, that W3ges, which is the price of labor, will advance in like de gree. The mortgaged farmer would not see any profit 111 tho proposed repudiation of 30 per cent of his honest debt if Mr. Bryan wero to assure bun that hand m hand with it, he would have to pay 30 per cent more for his fatm labor and 30 per cent mure for his farm machinery and all his family supplies. But the fraudulent promise held out to the farmer is that he is to be able to collect CO or 10 per cent more lor all be sells, get 30 or 10 per cpiU taken off all that ho ones, and yet buy all that he has to buy at tho same prices, labor included, that he pays now.

Our reason for this is in his countenance nor fire in his eye." that the "poor man" has four.d out that Of Douglas the writer pays further: ! his dinner nail as well as other tinware wan just as cheap under the McKinley law as it was beforo or has been since. Facts and actual experience have served to nail one more free-trade He. Cut there ia another re-tson why the "poor man's dinner pail" has been dropped from discussion. Ever sincu the elec tion of 1S02 gavo the government into the hands of the free-trade parly the "poor man's dinner pail" has been a ticklish subject. Any niemtion ot it serves to remind the laboring man of his prosperous times under the McKin ley law when he needed a dinner pail to carry his dinner with him to hia work. Under Free-Trade Tariff Kcforni, with no work to go to, the poor man has not had so much need of a dinner pail. lie has been more troubled about how to get a dinner than about the price of his dinner pail. But "there's a guda time coming" again. Dinner pails will be plentiful enough under President Mc Kinley and a protective tariff and they will be of good American tin, tco, made by American workingmen. 'Though not a pleasant speaker, his sentences are all compact and strong, his points are all clear, and every word he utters bears upon tbe doctrines he wishes to establish. He has no flights of fancy, no splendid passages, no pro phetic appeals, no playful turns; he deals only in arguments and addresses only the intellect. Mr. Lincoln has a rich, silvery voice, enunciates with great distinctness, and has a fine com mand of language. For about 40 min utes (the last 40 minutes cf bis speech) he spoke with a power that we have sel dom heard equaled. There vas a grand eur in his thoughts, a comprehensive ness in bis arguments, ana a bmuing force in his conclusions which were per fectly irresistible. The vast throng wero silent as dealh; every eye was fixed upon the speaker; and all gave him serious attention. lie was the tall man eloquent, his countenance glowed with animation and bis eye glistened with an intelligence that jnade it lus trous.

The result proved that tbe silver dollar was worth moro as bullion than the silver dollar, the ratio of France, being lol.2 to one, aud henco silver coin disap peared from circulation. That is, the ounce of gold would buy up 15';. ounces of silver as bullion. The purcbaeer would ship it to France and get one-half ounce more silver (in France! for his ounce of gold than in the United States. In other words the gold dollar would purchase nearly 50 cents worth more of silver bullion than it was worth as coin, because it was worth more as bullion than as United State cola. And as a ' consequence, United Slates silver coins went out ot circulation, and, to try and stop silver from leaving the country, President Jefferson in lS0t stopped the free coinage of the silver dollars by his own executive mandate, aud for 30 years there was not a dollar of silver coined ex cept subsidiary silver, vis: halves, quar ters and dimes. In 1S10 the banks ot Iho United States imported $7,000,000 of specie from Europe "to relieve the Btraiued situation,'.' at that time. In 1S34 tho ratio was changed to 10.002 of of silver to ono of gold. That ratio W3S again changed in 1S37 to 15.0SS to 1 , its present ratio, usually termed 10 to 1. Note that tho act of 1792 with ratio of 'lolol, so ovorvalui-d silver coins that they soou ceased to circulate equally with gold tho silver left the couidry.
