CHEAP 81LVKR AND LOW WAGES.
One of the officers elected at the alleged
bimetallic" gathering in the East last
week said "manufacturers have Just been
aroused to the fact that manufaclarvr
In sliver nations are underselling them In
their own markets," Instanced the cheap
cost of production of buttons and bi
cycles In Japan and of carriages In
Mexico, and cited these things as reasons
for adopting 'Tree coinage at t to 1" in
the Vnited Slates.
The argument Is not a new one. but It
Is astonishing that workmen In this conn
try have not awakened to an understand
ing of Its animus long since. The mean
ing of this plea for "free sliver" at an
Impossible ratio Is that the cost of pro
duction here would be lessened by cut
ting down the buying power of wag..
Only In that way could goods b pro
duced here so much more cheaply than
now that they could be sold in open com
petition with those made by the very low
priced labor in Jaan. Mexico and some
other countries, such as Chini and India.
The theory Is that with the breaking
down of the currency unit to half the
buying power of the dollar In gold the
wages of the toiler would remain nomi
nally the same number of dollars per
week ax now, but actually only worth
half as much for the buying of the things
on which the tollers and their families
subsist. The cost of producing manu
factured articles would therefore be re
duced to the point at whlrh the product
could be sold in ocmpetition with that
offered by the low-priced labor countries.
The argument Is as fraudulent as the
general claim that free silver worth SO
cents cn the dollar would benefit work
men. The same person said In another
portion of his speech that machinery ex
ported from England to Japan "will be
F
operated at one-eighth to one-quarter
the cost of what we pay for labor." If j
this be true It is idle to talk about the!
,. ,. , , . . , , j
posalbillty of meeting the competition by I
reducing the pay of American labor even)
one-half. There still would remain so '
terribly wide a margin of relative cheap- j
ness that the workers in this country :
would not stand any chance of securing t
the products of their labor sold where j
the Japenese goods could be obtained on j
equal terms as regards duties. Such I
competition would not be possible with-
out cutting down the wages of American
labor to one-quarter of the present wage
scale, and that means almost absolute,
starvation. j
But what would our wage classes say
lo such a plea? How can th presuma-1
biy intelligent itauers in the trades
union gatherings stand up before their
less enlightened hearers and dellbentely
advise them to vote or 5o-cent free silver
dollars when the men at the head of the
fraudulently called "bimetallic move-'
ment" proclaim that one chief reason for j
wanting free silver is that It would cut
down the buying power of American '
wages one-half?
It is a standing wonder that any of the i
workers ctn be gulled by appeals which'
carry with them their own condemnation
when looked at with the eye of common
sense. Granting all that is claimed for
the good done by trades unions in rail
ing the compensation of labor In the
past, the whole of the benefit would 1

occasion to discredit It on the ground
that Governor Morton was too old ond j
exiierienced a politician to adopt ho ques

him at a disadvantage with competitors

ambitious men may have been for that
great distinction, and however notorious
the fact of their ambition, they neem to

be called the regard for appearances,

their desires or hopes In that direction.

the finest hymns in the language were
restored. I-a:er he read a paper at the

would It not be a wise net to adopt
"America as our national hymn? Every
body can sing it, and how few know all
Ihe words and music of the "Star
Spangled Banner." As has tieen often
said, "The forceful roll and majesty of
the music of 'America' Is beyond com
parison with Its ejaculatory rival. Great
Britain and the United States are near ot
kin still, and the latter may worthily
retain the melody that has come to It
from the mother coun'ry. Put, that
question apart, this nation should learn
and more often sing its patriotic music,
and If It should learn to rlso and with
uncovered head show its reverence for
the sentiment of love of country, It will
bring nut and quicken a depth of feeling
that always doo and shall exM."
