What Free Silver Will Do.

I shall vote for J. Bryan at the coming election, because I believe that th#; free coinage of silver will, fat the end, stimulate productlfb and therefore create a demand for labor. Abd the demand increases so will Mages increase. The wage-earned who are organized, into uniotiA have investigated this * or themselves and they long ago, as the records of congrbfai will bear witness, came to sion that it was to their interest to have free coinage. I agree with them. The fact thai a few well-known democrats have deserted their party bbcdUse of its financial policy only ebbfirms me in my belief. Most oi them are millionaires, anyway* and have no real sympathy with the toilers of the country. Mi?. Bryan has the confidence df the workers; he has always Spoken for them; has defended their rights and supported fill legislation intended for their benefit. As between him and the bolting gold men of his party, the laboring man can easily make a choice. He will follow Bryan every time. Finally, I shall vote the straight democrat ticket, be cause I believe that wage-earn-ers have everything to gain and nothing to lose from free coinage. Can their conditibn'be any worse than it has been for the last three or four years? The election of McKinley will mean that the present state of affairs is to con tinue indefinitely;that there is to be no change;that wages will remain low and that work will be as hard to get as ever. If there were no other reasons for voting for free coinage the chance—tne probability— that it will result in giving work to the idle would be enough for me. West Sider. Chicago, Sept. 25.

The Populists and democrats in Kansas estimate that they will carry that state by at least 25,000 majority. * * * The Rev. Park A.
