Among the most noticeable, mostNyeish and most apropos is the following: , A man may use a wart on the bacic , of his neck for a collar; button; ride on the back coach of a train to save 1 interest on his money uotil the con- ductpr comes around; stop his watch at nighl to save the wear and tear; leave his "i" and "t" without a dot or cross to save ink; pasture his mother's grave to save corn; c-ut a man of this kind is a gentleman and a scholar compared to a fellow who will take a newspaper, and when asked to pay for it, puts it into the post-office and has it maiked, "Re used. THE WAGE EARNER." The money 'manipulators and their organs are taking a very sud den and a very remarkable interest in the. farmers and ; wage earners these days, who, they say, instead of being benefitted would be very seri ously injured by the free coinage of silver, j They tell the farmer that while the price of his products might be increased the price of everything he bought would be correspondingly increased, so that he would be no bet ter off) than he was before. But this doesn t follow as a matter of course by any means. In the first place his txes would not increase, and while pes of the average farmer do unt to a verv larcre sum tnera pretty nara-rto Dav when i! he : has to sen nis pro-, ducts for less than it costs htm-t6' i In the next place farmers in the there are very few i . - country who are not more or less in debt, some of them very heavily. These debts would not increase with the free coinage of silver, nor would the jnterest , charges on them in- e. With ah increased price for what lie hajd to sell wouldn't he find t easier to pay his debts and maintain his credit? ! i But everything the farmer has to buy would not Increase in proportion , to the increase in the price of the. products of j the fartla, for in nearly all manufactures there is competi tion,! and maaafactufers who desired toj dp a successful .business would keepf their; 'prices within reasonable bounds to create a large demand for their goods just as they do now. In of rapi4 machinery the these days , cost of manufacturing has been re duced to aj very low figure, so that even with more abundant money the cost of manufactured articles would " not be very much increased. ' ' . In addition to thi$, if the tariff du ties remain as they are now, al though they give the home manu iacturer ample protection,; there wnn :: 0::;7 lu inc tUn k F ' Ul UOlUCS", a? r10' factutejbjKJujirjFasylal one in home comoetition th.ZT in foreign competition. But, it mieht be asked, if free nil. ver jwlll not materially Increase the price of manufactured articles, how is It going to benefit the manufac turer or the wage earner who makes these articles ? Unless the manu facturer does a better business and . makes more money he cannot pay his I employ ers higher wages. Bat themanafactnrer. will be benefitted by the larger amount of goods he makes and sells, thus creating a de mand for more skilled labor, caus ing competition between employers forfthe labor and thus increasing the wages of the workman. " -j As an lllastration, take the cotton -heTrTaro mill? of this country. The majority of them, North" and South, paid good ' dividends the past year, especially those in the South. But many of tbem have been compelled to sus pend operations for a season. Why? Because there wasn't a demand for the goods they were making and they found it necesary to shut down or curtail production until they could dispose of the stock on fiand or con- tlnas to make at a loss. This throws thousands of people out of employ ment, and in doing so makes it not only: hard for them, but injures thousands of other people with whom they dealt. The merchant, the gro ceryman, the butcher, the Baker self them less because they have less money to buy with. j I j Constituting, as the dwellers on the i farms do nearly one half the population of the country, it stands to reason that when they suffer, when their ability to buy is crippled evry industry in the country must suffer more or less, and Chat no industry can be really prosperous and continue prosperous when the farmer does not prosper, There are; about 4,000,- 000 of people employed in the manu facturing industries of-the country. When the ability of the farmer to buy is impaired the: ability of the manufacturer to sell is decreased and these 4,000,000 of employes have to suffer to that extent; There are de pendent directly or indirectly on the railroads of the country abont 3,000,- 000 of people. When the demand for the products of the farm becomes reduced and the price so low that the farmer ships only what he is abso lutely compelled to, production is discouraged and falls off, giving the roads less employment in hauling crops to market: and when the farm er is reduced to rigid economy in what he buys the roads have less to do in hauling goods for the mer chant who trades with the country or village store-keeper, or with the farmer direct. This not only Injures the. roads, but cuts down the divi dends of stockholders and operates more or less against the army of men whom the roads employ. This is one of the reasons and one of the principal reasons, why so many roads have within the past few years gone into the hands of receivers. It doesn't take much reflection to show that the increase in the vol ume of currency which would In crease the price of farm products and benefit the farmers would bene fit the manufacturers and t wage earners, the railroads, the capitalists who have their money in railroads, and every one else. This talk of free silver being "class legislation" is rot. It is for the benefit of all save the gold cornerer and bond speculator. y. The man who asserts that free silver will injure the farmer or wage earner deceives hlmseif or is trying to deceive them. - ' MIB0R MEBTIOH. -L Although the majority of thegold standard advocates in this .country profess to favor bimetallism, they in sist that we should not attempt it without the assent and co-operation kof the leading European nations. But there is not one of them who has the slightest reason to believe that this co-operation can be secured, or if it be possible, when it may be looked for. They have been talking international bimetallism for years, and although the sentiment for bi metallism has been growing stronger In Europe, as it has been in (this country, the GovernmetS'Tbave not moved any peaxertcTit because the Governments are influenced or con trolled by the money class who be lieve it to be to their interest to main tain the single gold standard. There ate five reasons against theprobabil ity of international agreement at any time in the near future to the one for it. The. following excellent one is advanced by the Aberdeen (Miss.) Examiner'. . j Why should the European - countries favor international bimetallism when iney are ail eagerly baying silver at sx-ty-nlne cents an ounce and coining it in to subsidiary coin at the ratio of 15) to 1 and paying it out to the eager people, thus doubling its value and greatly im proving the conditicn of their own finan cial affairs? I i t t They know that this profit must pass from them forever under an interna tional coinage system that would restore silver bullion to a m irket value of a dol 'ar and twenty cents an ounce, and that the gain would all accrue to the coun tries producing the silver and obtaining commodities from abroad with it. as well as replacing or supplanting the loans now made snd controlled by Europe.'; They now buy silver as the Phila delphia Ledger (gold organ) puts it "as merchandise, as wheat, cotton, sewing-machines, or ready-made clothing." status as If it were restored to its av money metal thev couldn't buy it as "merchandise,"; but would have to buy it as a money metal and pay a jnoney-metal price forit. It is to their interest to buy as cheaply as they canw and for --r-i.i. ..-.v fti'&eTt 1 rema,n cheaP-.

However dangerous the free coinage policy may be, there is nothing "das tardly'Vin proclaiming it, and the mil lions of American citizens who support it are not conspirators." I The question at, issue nas been before the country for twenty yeats. Gocd men of all parties have voted lor free coinage. Good men of ail parties will unite this year in an attempt to make free coinage the policy ot tms nation, we nope they will (ail but their failure will not be brought aooui . oy me application of abusive epithets. The leading silver men in the tast are President Andrews, of Brown University; Arthur Sewall, of Maine, and Banker St. John,! of New York They are neither '.'dastards" nor "con spirators," but men of the highest in tegrity and unquestionable patriotism. .It the millions who are behind the demand for free coinage were "a desper aic nana 01 uemagogues and onapira tors." the outlook for the Republic wouia oe oar indeed. But every in teiugent man who. thinks at all on this question knows that I the line between the silver and anti-silver forces is not the line between honesty and dishon esty, or between loyalty and disloyalty. It Is worse than folly for the advocates of sound money to assume that their opponents are rascals, traitors or fools. They are as honest as the men who op pose mem, ana tney will not be con verted by abuse. j The gold organs would do wel to give due consideration to these remarks and govern themselves ac cordingly. : ... The New York Sun, which is still trying to pose as a Democrat while it shines for, Hanna and McKinley, Is quoting from Horatio Seymour, of honored .memory, to" j ustify ; its pres ent, desertion to Mc inley on the pretence that McKinley represents "sound money." j Starting out with the remark that j "Horatio Seymour used to be considered a rather ortho dox sort of Democrat," it reprints a message to the Legislature in1864 in which Governor Seymour took ground in favor of paying the State indebtedness in gold,x "as agreed to in the contract" Horatro Sevmour Was considered, a pretty orthodox Democrat ' then, and there are very few now who know how he battled for Democracy in tne days when it took both devotion to principle and Spartan nerve to do it, who would question his orthodoxy, but we do not see what bearing' the position Governor Sey mour took in 1864 has on the money question as It j presents itself now. Governor Seymour held that the State of New York should stand by her contract, just as any individual should stand by a contract into which he voluntarily entered. Bat where is the contract entered into by the United States jto pay their obliga tions a gold 1 No such contract ex ists any where, and the only ground for contending tliat these obligations are payable in gold is the mutilation of the contract by subsequently de grading silver Coin and'substituting goldiot the "qoin" in which these obligations were redeemable. Mr. Bryan condensed a great deal of solid Democracy in the following remark taken from his speech at Se dalia. 111. :"I don't want any man to vote for me because he thinks it'i am elected I will help him to put his hand into somebody else's pocket. All X expect to do - is to prevent somebody else from putting his hand into your pocket." Mr. Bryan is not indulging in any personalities in this campaign and consequently this re mark had no direct reference to Mr. KinbnUrv; "fceWerV he aoubUess would have Wt the force of it. i '.Ar., r,,r rV"!.

This morning California and. several Western States suggested in the interest of harmony that no contests should be made against Senator Butler, and after a short but turbulent session in the Texas head quarters, the decision was arrived at to make-no fubt on temporary chairman. The delegates who favor the straightout Populist ticket declare that this action was cot due to any lack of strength, but was solely in the interest of harmonv. They daim to be able to control the convention, 'and express themselves as positive that Bryan will not be nomi nated 6r endorsed. The same uncertainty and confusion prevailed abou( the hour of meeting of the People's party (Populist) Conven tion as about the various matters con nected with it.; Ten o'clock, eleven and noon had been publicly given out as the hour, with more Or less apparent authority At the earliest of these points of time there. Were not fifteen delegates . in the ball, and a few solitary figures were to . oe seen, scattered here and there throne the spectators' galleries. An hour later the accessions about doubled the num ber of people on the floor" and in the galleries. Tbe hall,was practically in the same condition as to . arrangements and decoration that it was when the Re publican convention assembled in it five Weeks ago. except that the pictures of Washington, Gr.nt.. Sherman and ethers bad been taken . away and that the place reserved for the chairman, sec retaries and other officials and celebri ties on tbe stage was absolutely unpro vided with tables, chairs or any other part of tbe necessary outfit. The reason for this nakedness in the most important and conspicuous part of the hall was past finding out. The absence of brass bands as an almost necessary adjunct to all political gatherings has been prac tically noticeable in connection with the Populists. There ;was an exception made to-day. however, a band being lo cated in the gallery back cf the chair man's stand which filled up the long waiting time. Many of the delegates, setting ceremony and dignity aside as unbefitting the weather and the occar sion, divested themselves of coats and" sat in their shirt sleeves, fanning them selves assiduously. . Tbe unceremoni ousness of the whole affair was further indicated by the presence of some ladies in the seats of delegates and by the car rying around of the youngest Coxey child, baptised by the name of "Legal Tender." The ladies, however, sat on the right of the entrance, being dele gates lrom the State of Colorado and five in number and every one of the'm an orator. ' -v ST; Louis. Mo.rJuly 22. Chairman Taubeneck introduced as temporary chairman of the convention, Senator Marion Butler, of North Carolina, who was received with three cheers, which he characterized as a "cyclone of patriot ism." He went on ' to speak of the transportation question as standing side by side with the money question, and declared tbat both these great'questions would have to be solved before the country got back to prosperity. The Standard Oil Trust, he declared, would not exist to-day if it was not for; its co partnership with : transportation com panies. If the People's party were to go out of existence to-morrow the next Democratic National Con vention , would report' a platform on which Bryan would not stand. Cheers 1 The Peoples' party had raised an issue so universal, sd great, so important, that it had split both the old parties in two. Laughter and applause. Now this con vention had met to sive that issne nr tn allow it to go down in death. He had faith that this convention would n6t turn itself into a Democratic annex loud cheers or into a Republican annex more cheers, but would find a way between them that was true and right. What Senator Bntler asked, saould this con vention do? and be was answered by one of the California 'delegates. Mr. Alfred Daggett, "nominate a straight Populist candidate on a Populist platform, with out reference to What the . Democratic convention nas done. Cheers -While this party lives," said Senator Butler, "and God grant that it shall never die. because it will be ever needed, a, long a, human liberty i, threatened, it raun be true to tbe mission which it was born to accomplish." Cheers "If this convention cannot follow its own teachings it is unworthy to repre sent the people. Applause. What is your duty to day f It is to endorse and approve what is right and to condemn wnat is wrong. No other ceurse is true Populism. This mission of the People's party has been to strike down what is wrong and to help what is rights I fectieve mat this convention is go ing to ao the wise thing. I believe that it is going to stand together. It is not eping to split. We have sphvboth the old parties. We did it on a principle, but we ourselves will hot spilt, becBuse we stand upon the principle and are not going to be foolish enough to split upon details. TCbeersl Can we atand to gether and go away from here a united band of brothers ? We will strip for the fray and we will see, next November that the minion, of organized capital and of gold monopolists are stricken down in this country. We will show you,.too, that this young giant of the People's party will come out pf the cam paign stronger than we go into it, Cheers, f : -.- : . , - "Remember that youv, have accom plished more in four vears than the nM parties accomplished in a hundred year,. rememoer, too, that if, we do our duty at thi, trying hour the time is not i' d'ant wben we will be the maioritv party of the countrv." . .

Finally jsQme'of the delegates started to sing, othcis joined in and the band' p!ayed. Thev continued to play, and it was I1 promised fiom the chairman's stand that light would soon be forthcoming. j The real explanation of the trouble was that who ever was in charge of the arrangements hid neglected to engage service for the evening from the electric light company uctil late this evening; when it was too late to turn on the current without great risk, as preliminary tests of the circuits were necessary. Some suggestions ol adjournment were made, , but they met with n j favor-i-tbe crowd rather enjoy ing the darkness and the fun. i This conditioo of (things j went on without a partJc'e of light save from ihe few candle-points stuck on the reporters' tab es and one on the chairman's table. John Brown's spirit went marching nn and college yells were indulgedjin. Fi nally, the patience of the maniigeis was exhausted, there was no prospect of the electric light ; being turned on, and yielding to the necessities f the case, it was announced at 8 50 pj m,; that the committee bad adjourned until 10 a. ra. to-morrow, ..."

D. Jones, of Missoun, a' straightout antrBryan man, all evapo rated into thin air before tbe convention mer. Senator Butter's speech was for harmony, but unmistakably indicated a leaning toward a separate ticket and a st pirate platform. Before the tempo rary chairman had entered upon his opening speech, certain of the Southern delegations freely stated their; intention to bolt if the Chicago nominees were endorsed. They privately spoke of tbe absolute necessity of maintaining the People's party organization in' their re spective States so, as to control the State offices.; One of the most out; spoken of these Southern recalcitrants.'" said he could not go home to his Stale if he carried with him an endorsement I of the Democratic ticket by the Pcpu- ' list Convention. He frankly admiued that if he and those who were acting , with him could not prevent the endorse-; ment of Bryan, their irrevocable pur pose was to kill off Sewall to give place to a Southern . Populist, and thus to so contuse tbe electoral votes for ( vice , President as to throw the election irto the United States Senate, whereTthey would have matters their way, The Bryan steering committee find to- night that a sufficient number of votes are pledged to their candidate to insure his nomination by the Pcpul sts on .the 1 first ballot.
