WAGES AND PRICES.
Goyernor J. P. Altgeld of Illinois in
hia sreat speech at Chicago, Sept. 19,
180G, covering thirteen columns of a
seven-column newspaper in reply to
Carl Schurz's epeech a week before,
said: "Silver has not fallen in com
parison with other property. By takiDg
tho average prica of all commodities
known to the market, it is found that a
pound of silver will buy as great an
amount of commodities as ever." Here
Altgeld declares as explicitly as lan
guage can make it, that silver has not
fallen in price when compared with the
average price of commodities.
And in the same column from which
we quote above, when ho came to speak
of wages, he said : "Wages and prices
must go band in band. Labor creates
property ; if property must bo sol d for
low prices then labor cannot bo paid
high wages for creating it. This is
axiomatic." Here we have it by an ap-
pofltle of free and unlimited coinage of
siiver that a pound of silver will buy as
great an amount of commoJitie as ever,
and that when the prices of commodi
ties, the creations of labor, "must be
sold for low prices, then labor cannot be
paid high wages,"
Therefore, since silver has not fallen
-it "will buy as great an amount of
commodities as ever" logically speak
ing silver will buy as much now as a
lound of silver would buy before 1373.
It then follows that the price of com
modities have not fallen and if commod
ities have cot fallen in price, labor
which creates commodities is still as
high now as before 1873, the date of
'striking down silver"' which wages, he
declares, had about doubled since I860
up to 1873.
Here now wo have it in a nut-shell.
Wages have about doubled since 1S60,
the price of eilver has not fallen neither
have the prices of commodities, the cre
ations cf labor. And if the prices of
commodities have not fallen it follows as
a logical sequence that labor, the cre
ator of commodities, has not fallen, for,
until tho prices of commodities fall, the
prices of labor will not fall.
In view of tho fact that according to
the governor's logic silver has not fallen ;
and per consequence labor has not fallen.
What, in the name of goodness, has the
governor and hi; followers got to com
plain of? Silver will purchase as much
commodities as ever, as much labor as
ever what is the matter with silver?
Gold will purchase more of the com
modities now than silver or paper.
Nay, verily, it is the supreme court and
states ngnts doctrine tnat is worrying
those fellows. Free silver is only
blind to deceive the unwary and catch
their votes. And when they get into
power they will recognize the courts and
induce the president, Bryan, should he
be elected, to keep his hands off the
military power when anarchy lifts its
revolutionary head and sets the laws at
defiance as they did at Chicago.
The Late Disss trons Fire In Our
Metropolis.
The chief paper cf oar stste has made
great moan land rightlv so) over the
incapacity cf the new officials of tho
Portland Fire Department, superceding,
as tuey have, tnel, experienced men,
who had falfilled their duties heroically
and successfully, the present incom
bents or rather encumberers of tho offi
ces, not understanding their wort as
well as the horses do theirs. Tne
owners of tho business block, destroyed
iust latelv by the disastrous fltmes
were all uninsured. And had it been
otherwise, it is Baid that tho insnranco
companies would, in all probability,
have contested the validity of their
claims for insurance.
The total destruction by fire in the
United States, during the last twenty
years (even when tho fire department
perform their duties well) amounts to
12,002,380,774 less, Blrange as it may
appear, than tho direct and indirect ex
penses of the liquor trathc for the one
year lately past.
What department neglects its duty on
the score? L.
Major ricKInley's Campaign.
When Benjamin Harrison, in 18SS,
made speeches to visiting delegations
day after day without saying anything
that a watchful and unscrupulous polit
ical enemy could twist into a different
meaning, tho country said Mr. Harrison
had accomplished a great political and
oratorical feat.
Major McKinluy in outdoing not only
Mr. Harrison, bnt ho is accomplisning
more than anv matt who has ever been
u ramlidate for presidential honors.
Every day he receives from threo to a
dozen delegations and makes an appro
priate speech to each. One may be a
delegation of farmers, another of iron
workers, another of railroad men, and of
tho dozen different delegations which
may call in a single day there may not
bo two whose members rxjHow the same
line of trade.
Major McKinley addniEses each dele
gation, and his words aro taken down
as ho speaks them and axe sent all over
tho country. And yot not a blunder has
beon made, not a sentence uttered which
can be twisted into it contrary moaning,
Tho campaign Major McKinley is con
ducting from his homo stands without

country. Toledo Blade.

A SILLY PRETENSE.
In the parade of the Bryanites at Chi-
oago on Friday niht, we are told that a
number of men marched with their
faces masked, for fear that they would
be discharged if they were recognized
by their employers. A sillier freak than
this has never been known in the his
tory of American politics. It could have
originated only in tho mind of a man I
utterly ignorant of the courage and self-1
respecting manhood of the American
people. It would have been an insult to
workingmen if it had not been too silly
to be taken seriously.
It has been a common cry with the
democrats that the people were bribed
and bought by rich corporations, and
that cry was foolish enough, as all the
world knows. Tho new cry of coercion
carries lolly to tne verge ot lunacy.
There is no intimidation in any state
north of Mason and Dixon's line. Even
in the Southern states it is practiced only
to a comparatively small extent, and ex
ercised only over negroes, who are too
poor, too ignorant and too much sub
ject yet o the influences of slavery to
know how to assert their rights and to
maintain them.
In the North and West there ia a free
ballot and a fair count. No American
employer coerces bis labor, tries to co
erce it or even desires to coerce it. It is
safe to challenge the orators and organs
of the fusion party to name one single
employer who has made or shown signs
of making the elightest attempt to in
timidate his employes in any manner
whatever.
The Bryan campaign is, in fact, rap
idly degenerating into a farcical and al
most fraudulent affair. Deserted by the
abler and more Eelf-respecting leaders of
the democratic party the fusion man
agers have sunk from low to lower levels
ct every stage of the canvass. Incapa-
bio of argument, incapable of an effec
tive management of the affairs of the
party, they have come at last to resort
in National affairs to styles of election
eering that would be a jest and a byword
in ward politics. The charge of bribing
American workingmen was bad enough.
The charge of coercion is idiocy. S. F.
Call.
BRYAN ON PENSIONS.
'The next session of Consrefcs will
have to wrestle with one deficiency of
$36,000,000. This is on account of pen
sions. The appropriation for pensions
for the next year must not be less than
$15,000,000. It is therefore easy arith
metic to perceive that the appropriation
that Congress must make for pensions
next season must atrgrezate not less
than $1SG,000,000.
"This tremendous euin would in itself
be enough to have a reasonable govern
ment. Ohe would not complain if it
were an honest debt, because it was
not earned by any act of patriotism or
heroic service. The government is held
up and despoiled of no mean portion of
this, and it seem3 helpless to defend
itself. One cannot help being cunou3
to know how many more years it will
take to exhaust the generation which
feels itself injured by the war. It is
safe to say that never did a generation
displav such remarkable longevity.
From the Omaha World-Herald (Mr.
Bryan's paper), Nov. IS, 1S92."
The above remarks of Pop Bryan
shows the class ho has been trained
with and the feeling on pensions
branding the pension Bystem as a dis
honest debt, he would help to pay
it
with a dishonest dollar. He is the pen-
sioners' and soldiers' enemy, as shown
by the above, and soldiers who see fit
to vote for him will be met in time
with a powerful hand. You now have
a chance to nip such work in the bud
and every pensioner will read the above
with an open knowledge what he may
expect from Mr. Brvan.
The Woman's A. P. A.
Washington, Oct. 9 The suprema
council of the Women's American Pro
tective association is holding its annual
convention in this city. The delegates
who are mostly from the west, num
bered nearly 100. Mrs. Carrie C. Oest
dyke was re-elected president for the
fourth time. Mrs. M. Belle Kempster,
supteme secretary, and Mrs. Mary Davi
son, supreme treasurer, were also re
elected. The reports of the officers
showed the organization to be in a
flourishing condition.
Tho objects of the order are: To
teacli patriotism ; to encourago compul
sory education ; the absolute sepenttion
of church and state; to encourage gov
ernmental inspection of nil educational
institutions; to tako tho public schools
bevond the dogmatic control of any sec
tarian institution; to protect Amencu
from the wholesale immigration of the
icnorant. pauper and criminal classes of
foreign nations; to inculcate in the
minds of the youth of the land a love of
country, a reverence of our nation, and
an earnest desiro for purity of tho bal
lot.
The Boston Herald has the following
interesting little item :
"flol. W. F. Cod v. which i.i Buffalo
Bill, says ho has always been a demo
rmt. livos in Nebraska, and knows and
likes William J. Bryan. All tho same
he feels it his duty to vote for McKinley
and honest lnonoy, and he says, as a re
sult of his wide observation in tno N eat
that his fellow-Nobraskan is going to get
whipped.

Truth About floney.
It is "more money" tho Bryanite3
want.
"We have already shown that Bryan's
policy of free silver would at li:sf. con
tract the currency of tho United States
to about one-third what it is at pre3 ent.
Now, which nations have the most
money, tho3e with tho gold standard or
those with the silver standa r J ?
The silveritds are fond of talking
about per capita circulation
The per capita circulation of the world
is about $3.15,
The par capita of the gold standard
countries is $18.
The per capita of the silver btaudard
countries is nearly $4.30.
The gold standard couutries have a
per capita of silver alone of $5 .40.
The silver standard countries have a
per capita of silver of $2.32, the rest cf
their small circnlation being mainly de
preciated paper.
Under free coinage of gold and silve r
the United States had a. per capita circn
lation in 1S0O of $4.'.)D7; in 1S96 we have
one of $21.10.
The gold standard countries, with less
than one-third of the world's population,
have very nearly two-third3 of the
world's currency circulation.
And yet Mr. Bryan would take the
United States from the geld standard
and place it upon the silver standard.
