PLEASE, MR. HANNA,

Answer These Few and Really Proper and Pertinent Questions Which the People Are Asking. BBBBSBETA; As Mr. McKinley’s duly accredited manager and spokesman, the attention of Labor Crusher Hanna is called to these queries put to him by organized labor in particular and people in general: Are you rich? Did you make any of your money reducing workingmen’s wages? If the free coinage of silver would, as you say, tend to reduce the wages of workingmen, why are YOU opposed to it? Who gives you all the money you are spending now? What do you promise in return for it? * How do you make Mr. McKinley do what yon tell him? Will he keep on doing it when he is president? How did you get hold of him first? Do you consider that those notes are a good investment? Workingmen stand together in their unions elbow to elbow, and shoulder to shoulder, to repel their enemies every day in the year except upon election day, when they sometimes permit partisan prejudices to open their line of battle and the enemy passes triumphantly through. Syndicates and corporations stand together every day, election day included, and upon that day more solidly than any other, no matter what their personal prejudices or party affiliations. Why will net workingmen emulate their example?
