The free silverites contend that free coinagewill increaïe the price of bread, meat, bntter, fowls and everything else the workingman nses. There is no pretense or possibility of a pretense that it will increase the wages of the workingman in anything like the same proportion, if, indeed, it increases them at all. The great majority of workingmen work for employers who, like the railroads, must pay their bonds, principal aud interest, in gold. If the inoomes of their employers must hereaiter be in silver, how are they to pay their obligations in gold unless they ent down expenses either by reducing wages or by dismissing some of their men? Blood cannot be Rot out of a turnip. Wages can only be paid from earnings. What possible interest can any workingnian have in voting for a debasenient of the cui-rency which will at the same time dimiuish the wage paying capacity of bis employer and reduce the purchasing power of his wages? - New York World.
