Bryan :Exposed by Wage-earners.
The Tribune calls timely attention
to the fact that thefalse and incendiary
Bryan is now putting all his force into
a desperate appeal to workingmen, and
it is fitting that the overwhelming re-
cl: should come from workingmen
themselves. Preaching everywhere the
gospel of hate, Bryan tells workers
that, it free silver were not a good
thing for them, capitalists and employ-
ers would never oppose it. The ' work-
ers answered by sending at their own
expense, two of their most trusted
leaders from Chicago, a Republican
and a Democrat, to investigate the
actual situation in Mexico. The reply
comes in ample time to fix the stamp
of falsehood upon Bryan’s assertions,
which the wageearners themselves
have recogniz ed as unpatriotic and
incendiary. Mr. Mans, one of the del.
egates, is general organizer of the
Americ in Federation of Labor, and or-
ganizer of the International Typo-
graphical Union, and Mr. Enright, a
veteran in labor organization, is of the
executive board- of Iron Moulders’
Union of Chicago. Their joint report,
from the abstract telegraphed, appears
to be as positive and fincompromising
as any stetement could be regarding
the condition of lab or in Mexico, under
a silver standard. A few sentences
from their statements sufl‘ieiently dis-
close the conclusions they have reached:
“We found that the price of labor in
that country has been decreasing, while
the cost of commodities has been in-
creasing. There is nothing like indus-
trial independence in that country, and
there cannot be anything of the sort as
long as present conditions continue.
American mechanics get good wages
in Mexico, in some instances more than
they can get here, but when they come
to pay for what is necessary, they find
they don’t get as much as they could in
the United States. Everything to eat
and wear, and that goes to makelife
worth living at all, is dearer there than
here. To the average Mexican what
he wears is not a matter of much con-
cern, as it amounts to so little. He
does noteat much, either, and his house
is more like a stable than anything else.
A carpenter gets 75 cents a day in
Mexico. and a bricklayer half that
amount; they don’t have much left if
they buy much after the family is fed.
2 ‘* * * A printer only gets on an av-
erage 60 cents a day, and painters but
little more. - -

pot live the way the Mexican does. He,

He She" Our Pensioners he Robbed ?
Sog‘h'e latest official list of pensioners
figoms that there are 997,0i3 names of
IWillows and orphans of veterans, upon
ggg derision roll, and the amount paid
fiofi ese pentioners last year was $3133.-
053980259. This is exclusive of 3.481
ggfigibners living in foreign countries
who are paid annually $695,353.
troll'olir fifths of these pentioners are
fidigefy dependent upon the small pit-
fiangejpaid them by the government for
theirt‘alivelihood. Many of them are
widows whose husbands gave their lives
to maintain the Union, or the children
hffil-len heroes who are largely depend.
gut-upon their pensions for support.

THE7EVEN1NGpGAZETTE
Dually, anda large majority of them
would suffer from actual want but for
the patriotic action of our government
in granting liberal pensions.
It the national candidates of the Chi-
cago convention shall be successful in
November it is openly avowed that the
lilver standard would be precipitated
upon this government as speedily as
possible.
In point of fact the mere election of
the :repudiation candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President would at once
make gold command a premium, and
plunge this country into the slough of
cheap money without waiting for the
inevitable Congressional action.
Of the $140,000,000 now paid annually
to our pensioners, the adoption of the
silver standard of money in this country
would at once rob them of nearly or
quite 370,000,000 each year, as the pur-
chasing value of the lawful money of
just about one half.
The adoption of the free silver theory
by the government of the United
States, therefore means in plain En-
glish the robbery of our nearly 1,000,-
000 of pensioners of $70,000,000, or one-
half their pensions, by paying them in
money of just one-half the purchasing
value of the present lawful money of
the government.
What answer 'will the million of pen-
have to make to the bold proposition to
rob the pensioners of this country to
the amount of $70,000,000 each year ?
v
Wrong, as Usual.
The Connecticut, Senate, January
Session, 1897, will probably be unani-
mously Republican.
Never before in Connecticut, has
either house of the General Assembly
been composed wholly of members of
the same political party, and that it is
our state politics—Hour.
How much better it is not to know so
much,than to know so much that isn’t so!
In 1862 and in 1865,the Connecticut Sen-
ate was unanimously liepublican. The
last Senate was all Republican with the
single exception of the Hartford district
which elected John H: Hall, democrat.
