revenues fell off each year that it Remained on the statute books. The New Yoik Dispatch, which is an earnest champion oi McKinley and Hobart, is making a desperate effort to awaken the Repub« licaus of the east to the dangers which threat m their ticket. It says to its Gothamite readers.: “TV. 3 free silver craze is rooted in every nook and corner of the country It is stronger in New York City than any place in the Union. It is strong in the New England states, supposed to be solidly for gold. Let us the facts. The gold plank to the laboring people is ti e plank of the classes The Republican party never it its history, had a harder struggle before it than it nas today to elect McKinley on the gold plank Get off your coats and go to ,vork now. The masses, that McKinley had safely ccralled before tne nomination, have already escaped. Stop this twaddle,|these insane and idiotic congratulations ana get to work. The nominee is in danger; the party is in danger.” * *

England is back of the single gold standard. England is the creditor of the world, and the scarcer aud dearer she can make money the richer she becomes. Our forefathers provided for the free coina"e of both gold and silver. No one has ever given a good reason for the abandonment of silver as money of redemption. The events that were predicted to follow the abandonment of the double standard are upon us Our farmers, ups on whom the nation depends for tie greater pait of ;» prosperity —see ruin staring them in the face since gold has become the only of redemption and its purchasing power doubkh. The valueof farm lauds and tarrn products have btea steudilyitailen since s he single gold stsuuard was adopted in 1873. They will continue to fall as the purchasing power of gold increase es. Ruin for the American farmer means ruin for all kinds of business. The Luauufuctuier must suffer when the farmer gets little money 1 for his crops because it means that almost om-nalf oaf population are deprived of money

with which to buy manufactured goeds. The merchants must suffer because as the price ot farm products go still lower as they undoubtedly w.ll under the single gold standard, half our people will have uothi jg with which to buy goods of the merchants. Laboring people must suffer from lack of employment because a curtail-, rnout of ono-Lalf of the consuming power of the people means less work for the toiling millions. The very fact that th/ money lenders of the world are all arrayed on the side of tne single gold standard should be argument enough to convince the manufacturer, the farmer, tLe merohant and the In* boring mao, that their interests are with those whoadvocati therestori tion of the double standard The rehabilitation of silver means the doubling of the volvme of primary money. It means better prioes for the products of tlu farm and the faotory. 11 means more work for the millions who toil with their hands.
