The shrinkage of values in crops
durir G the last nineteen years
amounts to twenty eight billion
dollars in the United States. This
deterioration Of values Logan
with the limitation of the legal ten-
der, which commenced when the
government refused to accept its
own greenback currency for import
duties. This limitation Of the legal
tender has gone steadily on till now
when the coinage by the govern
n,ent is confined TO silver and gold,
with strong probability that in
obedience to the clamor Of the
bankers and money leaders an ex-
elusive gold standard will be adopt
ed by congress. This will still far
ther contract the volume of money
and result in greater shrinkage in
the value of products, and increase
the power Of the monied classes to
possess themselves Of all the pros
ducts Of the producing classes. 1t is
this limitation Of money to the gold
standard that has given the enor>
nous wealth of England to q class
numbering less than half million,
while the remaining forty-nine and
a half million Of the population Of
that country, whose labor produces
all this wealth, are in condition Of
poverty but little above that Of our
