N Dill Street, LT. J.OUlri.MO WANTED AT ONCE! ctive MASSILLON, OHIO. I We propose to base our system of finances upon the well tried doctrine of bimetallism. We declare that our bond ed debt, that the greenback and treasury notes and all other forms of govern- menr paper payable in coin, are payable in gold or silver, at the option of the government and not at the option or pleasure of those holding government obligations. We insist that this govern ment is strong enough to pursue the policy that is followed today by the Bank of France, which is to pay gold or silver at the option of the treasury and thus to bring silver into use as an aid to gold, and in this way to obviate the necessity of any further bond issues to maintain coin redemptions. And as a means of supplying our people with a currency we propose to go back to the old system that was followed by this gov ernment during 80 years of Democratic rule, with open mints to the free coinage of gold and silver, as was our policy prior to 1873. This will give us a sys tem of currency that will be adequate in volume and stable as compared to all other things. This we propose to do without the aid or consent of any other nation. We insist that this country is abundantly able to maintain a financial system of its own. The Republican party, in its St. Louis platform, confesses that bi metallism is preferable to gold mono metallism, but demands the mainte nance of the gold standard until inter national agreement can be had looking to the establishment of bimetallism throughout the world. The people of the United States have become impa tient upon the question of international bimetallism. For more than 20 years the argument of international bimetal lism lias loomed up to thwart the hopes of the American people upon this sub ject. It has been interjected into every campaign and been made a stumbling block to every step looking toward the restoration of silver by the American people. They will no longer be fooled in this way. We must either establish bimetallism for ourselves or surrender the fight and content ourselves with tho single gold standard for all tiiqe.—Hon. Richard P. Bland in North American Review.

Robbed of All Flapdoodle, How Would Freo Coinage Affect Labor? A Complete Answer to One of the Special Pleas of the Goldies. He Explains Why We Can “Go It Alone,” The Facte Concerning Mexico. Will the remonetization of silver help or hurt labor? That depends on whether it will promote or hinder production. If the remonetization of silver will pro mote production, it will benefit labor. On the contrary, if it will impede or lessen production, it will injure labor, for in the final analysis the wages of labor are the share which labor gets of what is produced. If 70,000,000 people produce but $14,- 000,000,000 worth of products in a year, that would give to each, if evenly di vided, $200 worth and no more, and if lome got more others would get less. If, however, the same population produced $21,000,000,000 worth of products, each would have $300 worth. That is, any people can divide what they produce, and they can divide no more unless one takes from another what he had before. It is clear, then, that the more we produce the more all can have, and as wages in the end are the laborer’s share of what íb produced his real wages will increase as production increases. The vital question then is, Will tho remone tization of silver, by promoting indus trial enterprise, increase production? There are hardly two sides to this ques tion. That the remonetization of silver will increase money supply no one will deny. That the increaso of money sup ply will stop the fall of prices, and if the supply be sufficient will raise prices, no economist will dispute. With stable prices, well directed industrial enter prise is safe; with rising prices, all in dustries are stimulated. Hume, the his torian, said years ago: “We find that in every kingdom into which money be gins to flow in greater abundance than formerly everything takes a new face. Labor and industry gain life, the mer chant becomes more enterprising, the manufacturer more diligent and skill ful, and even the farmer follows his plow with greater alacrity and atten tion. ” This has often been quoted as net only one of the accepted facts of his tory, but one of the truths of economic science. Seventy millions of people, with the best educated brains of any people in the world and with hands skilled to the use of the most intricate machinery, making a greater use of the powers of steam and electricity than any other people, ought to produce at least $300 per capita per annum. But it is doubtful if we have produced $200 per capita the last year or in any recent year. Prices have been falling, money rising, enterprise has been put in constant peril and produc tion greatly retarded. With money sup ply sufficient to sustain prioes and sup port productive enterprise the produc tion of wealth would undoubtedly be largely increased. There would then be more for all and more for each. Under such conditions would the la borer get a proportionally larger share? Why not? He certainly would be enti tled to it How would he get it? In two WAys. First, by increased earnings. Earnings ore wages multiplied by time. If a man gets $3 a day, but works only one day in a week, he earns but $3 a week. If another man gets $1 a day and works three days in a week, he also earns but $3, which would be earned also by one getting but 50 cents a day if he worked six days in the week. If the first two had steady work, without any increase in wages, their earnings would be largely increased. The first effect of a revival of indus tries would bo fuller employment of la bor and consequently larger earnings. Second, wages would also increase with increased production. John Bright summarized in a few words the labor question when he said it made all the difference in the world whether two men were after one job or two jobs af tex one man. As long as large numbers of idle men are hunting places there is little hope of better wages for any one. One is fortunate indeed if he can keep the place be has. Moreover, if prices of the products of labor continue to go down, the wages of labor must go down also. Profits may go first, but wages must yield sooner or later. Com binations may resist inroads upon wages for a time, but cannot do so long. Lar ger and larger numbers will bo forced into idleness, and idle men are not only dangerous competitors, but while idle they cannot buy what others produce. In order to be able to buy one must have something to sell—labor or its products. If a man earns but 50 cents a day, he cannot buy wliat another pro duces at $2 a day. He can only buy a fourth part of it. It is doubtful if, at present prices of farm products, the en tire agricultural classes—7,000,000 fam ilies—earn, on the average, more than 50 cents a day for each laborer. They can, then, only buy at that rate. That is the chief reason just now why other in dustries are so prostrated. Fanners get so little for what they produce they cannot buy what others produoe. Hence, for a part to get good wages all must be employed.—A. J. Warner. We say restore silver to where it was. Of all the special pleas made by the Coin it free as you do gold. Restore to goldites the one addressed to the pen sioner is perhaps the most reprehensible. it its legal tender qualities, and just as From whatever standpoint we approach soon as this is done, just as boob as sil it the plea is not only devoid of merit ver con be used at the cuetom house, in economics, but it is open to the se used to pay taxes and to pay notes at verest condemnation because of the the bank, just as soon as it can be used to do tho same work that gold does, just spirit in which it is made.

Men who vir culate at par, just as they did for 200 tually control the world’s limited sup years before silver was demonetized. But, says some one, the idea of bi ply of gold, and who realize millions of dollars profit on a single bond dicker, metallism is all right, but we cannot go seek to make it appear that a policy it alone.
