The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-06-20

Every day seems to be opening new
markets for the abounding food prod
ucts of our great country. Here is
the last item of the kind:
Mr.. John M. Wilson, United States
Consul at Hamburg, reports that the
expectation of live stock from this
country to Schleswig, Hslstein, to be
fattened on the rich pastures of that
country, bids fair to become very lu-
crative business. At the suggestion
of Deput..' Consul Moeller. a native of
Schleswig, Holstein, the grazers of
that province sent steamer to this
city for cargo of lean cattle. which
were purchased at Chicago, and few
fattened animals for the English mar
ket. The latter numbered l07 speci-
mems of good stock, l buffalo, Is
horses, and SO hogs, and were all sold
at Southampton at high prices: The
lean cattle. 800 in number, arrived in
Schleswig Holstein in excellent condi-
tion. and compared fOvOrably with
lean Denmark stock. Another cargo
was sent for at once, and since the cost
was much less than similar animals
could be got for anywhere in Europe,
there is good prospect that the Uni
ted States will be looked to hereafter
for the entire supply for these rich
pasture grounds. where thousands of
cattle are fattencd every year for the
markets of France, Germany, and
England.

bic until the vexed question of the
currency has final settlement. One
of the city papers made the startling
announcement the other day that
there were 10000 people out Of work
in Boston and vicinity. This state
ment is probably not exaggerated. and
when one considers its magnitude he
is led to wonder that there is not more
suffering visible to the eye. As yet
we have not seen no evidences of the
uprising of the communistic element.
Last January five thousand working
men waited upon the mayor and asked
for work from the city. The mayor
Informed them that he had not the
power to give them work bat would
consider their request and do what he
could. AS a result few hundred ad.
ditional men were set at work on the
streets, but yet there has been no
demonstration. If the condition of
the times does not change for the bet
ter don't think we need to anticipate
that affairs will be tranquil. The
poorer elements Of society are not
powerful here as in the vest, and our
militia being well organized it would
be next to an impessibility for Bos-
ton to be disgraced as Chicago was
last summer. The way Boston dealt
with the riots growing out of the
drafting of recruits during the war
showed the mob violence goes for
naught in the ''hub of the universe.
1t is indeed surprising to find such
growth and progress toward the truth
in the very heart of conservative New
England.

first thing" says the North Ameri-
can, "Mr Chase was bound to do was
to state the increased purchasing pow
er of a dollar to-day compared with
ten years ago. Here is this great
champion of the Republican party de-
Tending the theory of lower prices.
The increased purchasing power of
the dollar is just what every land-hold-
er desires. According to the Invest
ers Journal, a paper published in Lon
don, by the bondholders, there is held
i'll the city of London fourteen billion
ten hundred million of bonds, of diff
ferent countries, states and corpora
tions. These bonds bear on an aver
age five per cent.in coin requiring over
one hundred millions annually to pay
the interest on the bonds in the city
of London alone. This is three times
the entire coin product of the world.
Here, then, is the key to the Republi.
can cry for lower prices.-These mas
ters of our coin say that nothing but
coin shall pay debts, taxes, &C., and
then compel a condition of trade that
will give them the very largest
amount of our produce for their coin.

In the Chicago Inter Ocean of the
Sd inst. we find the following:
A meeting of Communists ard So
cialsts was held yesterday afternoon
in the open air on the corner of Thir-
ty-firSt and Halsted streets. there be-
ing about 5000 persons present.
Mr.. T. J. Morgan, after a few in.
troductory remarks by the chairman,
Albrecht Straebler, was the first
speaker introduced to the meeting.
He spoke of the rights of labor land said
that there could only be two sections
in the community, namely, the capi.
taliStS and manufacturing classes on
one side and the laboring men on the
other. for all who were not laboring
men had been bought up by the
capitalists and manufacturers. How
could human life on the part of the
laboring man be preserved when the
two extremes in the community were
so great. Go on Wabash avenue and
see what human life was worth. Go
on Halsted street and see what human
life was there. 1t has been ascer.
tanned that among the poorer classes
over fifty out of a hundred children
had died during the past year. Ifthe
rights of the laboring man were not
respected. the revolver would come.
[Cheers.
Mr.. McAucliffe was next introduc.
ed. and said, ameng other things, that
the treatment of the rich men toward
the poor men of the south was called
bulldozing by northerners, but the
rich men of the north explained their
bulldozing of the poor of the north by
the respectable phrase that they had
a right to do what they liked with
their capital. They had earned it,
they said, when the truth was that
most of their fortunes descended
from ancestors, and was being kept
in the same family. The growing
strength Of the Socialist party has
been shown at the ballot box at the
fall and spring elections; but if the
ballot-box was not sufficient to compel
the recognition of their rights, they

Here are some very suggestive
thoughts from the Ne,c Era as to the
relations between Il price of wheat
and gold which we suggest to our
farmer friends. This fall may make
them very important.
The whole burden of the hardware
song is, that the gold price of anything
is its true price.
The Greenback party say it is not
so, and we will give some of the
reasons.
l. The money price of any article
depends upon whether money is
plenty or not. When money is scarce
then prices must rule low, and when
it is plenty then prices are high.
2. Gold is so scarce in nature that
its supply, cannot for moment keep
up with the increase Of population and
of business. Thus gold money is
always scarce, aud consequently prices
as rule will always be low.
8. By limiting our money to gold
we are always tied down to the
meagre supply and no matter how
much our population may increase,
business can never increase and prices
must always be low.
4. If we double the growth of wheat
and do not increase the volume of
money, then the doubled crop of
wheat must be sold for half price.
5. The supply of gold cannot be
increased as fast as the supply of
wheat, then the gold price of wheat
must be low and it is not the true
price, although it is the selling price.
6. AS tho quantity of gold is SO
small that few men can and do con-
troll it, and hence the price of wheat
gold may choose to pay, which cer-
tainly is not the true price.
The true price of wheat is the price
that people who need it are able to
pay for it. Ifnobody can have wheat
but the men who have gold, then the
vast majority of mankind must go
without wheat. But if everybody
who wants wheat has the money to
buy it, then we get the true price of
wheat. because it is the price that
results from the law of supply and de-
mand. And as there are millions
upon millions of those who would be
buyers if they could, then the only
thing needed to get wheat up to its
true price is to give these hungry
millions the means to buy it.
They get their money by selling
their labor to those who want to bny
it. And this can always be done if
those who need the labor have the
money to pay for it.
All this shows the necessity for
having money. There is not gold
enough in existence to make one-tenth
the true amount of money needed,
and until we have this true amount of
money we never can have the true
price of wheat.
Join the Greenback party and thus
put up wheat to its true price.

The call tor the Democratic con-
gressional convention for the I'd dis.
trict is out; the place Shakopee. the
time July 18th. The call is signed
by banker. and is addressed to Dem
ocrats exclusively. No allies are
wanted. AS the district is. by over
$500 majority, Republican, this ibsr-
ality is refreshing.
We would recommend that in their
platform they endorse the great truth

We do not remember to have seen
the argument Of "over-production"
more happily illustrated than in the
following story:
An old farmer up in Oxford County
Maine is in trouble. This spring he
raised from one sow four pigs, and to
sell them he can't. They are of no
more value than four woodchucks.
He went to greenback neighbor to
talk over the matter. Said he, five
years ago raised thirteen pigs and
sold them each at four dollars. Now
l can't sell my four at any price.
Says the Greenbacker: 1t amt over.
production is it? You sold thirteen
then and now you've only four.
Perhaps its over production. BY the
way, did it ever occur to you that
John Sherman's contraction policy
had struck your pig pen as we'll as
Barker Mill. Your pigs are worth
just about as much as Barker Mill
stock now, and one brick has struck
them both. When pigs go down
bonds go up, and this is the way they
strengthen the public credit. When
pigs are snapped for Barker Mill
stock, and neither are worth ten
cents on a dollar, pork is low, but it
is harder for the men who work in
Barker Mill to get pound of pork
than it was when pigs were worth
four dollars apiece. They say nobody
is hurt when prices shrink, for you
can get a barrel of flour for the same
number of pigs that you could when
prices were high. But pigs amt a
legal tender with the tax-collector,
nor with the man who holds a mort
gage on your farm. 1t takes dollars
to pay them, and when you try to con-
vert your pigs into dollars is when
this shrinkage of value hurts. 1t is
uphill work paying taxes when pigs
won't sell at uny price, and stock
shrinks in value faster than it grows.
When men have to shovel dirt seven
feet high from daylight till dark for
a dollar they can't afford to eat meat,
so pigs are drug in the market. 1t
strikes us that shrinkage of values
does hurt some folks.

Our MinnesOtians become Green
hackers when they go east. Here is
an item from Massachusetts paper:
Mr.. Hutchinson. of the "Hutchin-
son family" was called upon for II
song and he responded Ivy saying that
he was not prepared with song that
would be appropriate for the occasion
but he was glad that some advance
step was being taken which he hoped
would be productive of much good.
He was in favor of Il radical revolu-
tion so that the rich would not grow
richer and the poor might be improv-
ed in their condition. and that one
third of our people should not be
made tramps. (Applause.)
Asa never would have dared to ut

The st. Paul Pioneer Press of June
18th prints letter from Boston, from
its special correspondent, which
makes the following striking admis.
sions as to the growth of the Green
back party:
Ina former letter l alluded to the
fact that the sentiment Of the East
was for "hard money" This state.
ment is beyond dispute, but will be
honest enough to add that there is a
possibility ofits being changed enough
to affect the popular vote. The Green
back party has greater strength in
the State, and in the city to-day, than
it ever had before. / was told that
there are fifty greenback clubs in the
State at this early day, and, further,
that there would be similar organiza-
tions in every ward in the city in
thirty days. The party seems to be
pretty we'll organized, and determined
to make strong fight. Rumor has it
that General Butler will run for gov
ernor next fall. He has always been
an able advocate of paper money. but
personally he is so unpopular don t
think his chances of being elected are
good, even though the party should
succeed in electing two-thirds ma
jority in the next legislature as it
boasts it will. Ben has about killed
his chances for gubernatorial honors
by his personal aspirations Ito use q
mild term) for that position. While
l admit that the greenback movement
is gaining ground l have not faith
enough to believe that it will ever
attain the leadership in Massachusetts,
Some people in the east class the
greenbackers as communists, and it
is not strange that they do when the
leaders Of the party declare that il
