the Importance of the tollers as vital
factors In the well-being ot the whole

Agreeing, therefore, that the welfare
of the producers is the vital concern of

Being * radical advocate of the ajnglo
gold standard and equally aa atrongly
•pposed to ths fre* coinage of allver,
Mr. Lynch look advantage of every
opportunity to lecture to bis men on
th* snbjact. Hs told them that they
were entitled to the best money; that
laboring men of all others should be
paid in dollars worth WO cents, and
that to compel them to take sny other
would be an outrage. This money, he
declared, was gold. Under free coln-
of silver, he argued, they would
get dollars worth but 50 cents. It
happened that among the men were
few practical fellows who wore n
prepared to accept all of their employ
er'a assertions. But they acted upon
them to the extent that they went
among tho other men and got an agree-
lat all or them would on tb«
next pay day demand their wages in
gold. If laboring men were entitled to
the best money, and that waa gold
they wanted It. So the foreman was
notified of the desire of the men. This
he communicated to Mr. Lynch. "Why,
of course," sold he, "tho men should
have gold, and they are entitled to It.
Next pay day they will >11 see aome
money that is money." When the pay
roll was made up (It amounted to
13,900) the clerk waa instructed to get
gold at the bank. Presently the clerk
returned to his employer and told hltn
that the bank could not let him have
the gold. Mr. Lynch went Immediately
to the bank to make tho demand In
peraon. But he could not get it. even
under the threat of transferring hla ac-
count. He then applied to the other
banks In the city, of which there were
four, but with equally poor success. In
the end ho was compelled to return to
his men nnd pay them off In silver.
When it Is known that this took place
over two months ago, and before the
agitation had caused gold to be hoard-
It will be seen that it is a pretty
good "object lesson."

ulate prices. It may operate by con-
trolling laws. In its last analysis the
evil of the gold standard is iho evil of
monopoly, because it enables the finan-
cial magnates to fix the standard and
then to corner the money market
they have done. Monopoly and unjust
taxation are often combined, as In a
protective tariff.
The candidacy of McKlnley Is sup-
ported by monopolists. The tariff
barons who made millions from monop-
olies gained through unjust taxation
and the financial magnates who made
millions by cornering gold and selling
it to the government are combining
the power of their wealth and Influence
to elect him. All the interests that plun-
der the producing tollers by the reduc-
tion of wages, the increase of prices by
trusts, the manipulation of corporations
and the juggling of the money market
are combined in his support.
On the other side is Bryan, whose
candidacy is a protect against every
form of monopoly and who must look
for support only from the toilers

From Spokan* Spokesman (Republic-
an!: In hla Columbua aprech laat Sat-
urday Senator Sherman said: "That
dollar la tho beat dollar that buys ti)*
largest quantity of food and clothing.
That dollar la the gold dollar, for it
buy* mors food and clothing than any
other dollar."
If that were true. It would follow that
lb* dearer Ihe dollar the better It
would be. A dollar worth twlco as
much aa the present dollar would be
twice aa good, according to Mr. Sher-
man'* logic, and a dollar buying four
time* as much aa the present dollar
would be four times aa dealrable. One
who believes as Senator Sherman Ik>-
llevea la carried by hla own logic lo
advocacy of an indefinitely appreciat-
ing dollar. An ounce of silver will buy
substantially as much as it would buy
at the close of the war. Silver then
was regarded aa hard, aouud money.
It now has tho appearance of deprecia-
tion became of th* appreciation of goM
and men like Sberman. who once call-
ed It sound, now call It unsound. If
they had their way, five years from now
the gold dollar would be still further
appreciated and a dollar now regard-
ed as sound would then be regarded aa
unsound.
Mr. Sherman ssys hs Is for the gold
dollar, because It cheapens American
products. He likes it becauie It will
buy three bushels of wheat, six bushels
of corn, 12 to 15 pounds of cotton and
wool, nearly 40 pounds of lead, and all
other commodities in proportion. "That
dollar Is the best dollar that buys the
largest quantity." He therefore be-
lieve* that Ihe dollar would be twice
as good If It bought bIx bushels of
wheat, 12 of corn, and 30 pounds of cot-
ton or wool.
If Mr. Sherman believes that, and be
says he does, by what peculiar mental
proces* la he In favor of the protective
tariff? The avowed purpose of the
protective tariff is to raise prices, nnd
thus make the dollar buy less food and
clothing. How can Sherman consistent-
ly be for one principle to make the
dollar buy more, and at the same time
support another principle lo make It
buy less? Grover Cleveland at leaat
has the virtue of consistency. With
Sherman, he believes that the best dol-
lar is the dollar that buya the most,
and he pursues a logical course when
he tries to make it buy greater quanti-
ties—first, by Its appreciation, and sec-
ond, by the application of free trade.

It thus appears that the farmer In
1866 got more than three times as much
In gold for his wheat as he is getting
now, and about twice as much for ev-
erything else. But If he had a mort-
gage on his farm it was reckoned in
currency, and one buahel of wheat
would clear off nearly 2.20 of It, instead
of about 50 cents, as it W||, now

capitalists of the East have acted in
the capacity of "commission agents"
Inviting and Investing the billions of
European dollars In Ame-ican enter-
prises. They, of course, have retained
fair commission. In some Instances
such as "wildcat" railroad and "salt-
f "?lne •"'hemes, our Eastern neigh-
bors have been accused by European
Investors of dishonest dealings. The
Eastern banker has acted as a "mld-
ileman" between European capital and
American investments and as such has
largely profited by the debts thus oc-
eurred. They collect a commission for
Placing the Investment, another for
collecting rentals and yet another for
closing out Undesirable Investments It
Is thus apparent that the Eastern
bankers arc the friends and agents of
European Investors and tithe collectors
of a comparatively bankrupt nation.
