Butchers Protective Union has been in ex-

were not subject to the law OF price and

get for his grain. while the gold bugs

grain and other farm products which
have NO existence and which will never

by paying the difference between the
price at which they sold and the mar

which is offered for sale, the greater the
tendency must be to lower tho price.
And Of course the selling of these mil
lions of bushels Of nothing, but sup
posed to be real, loads the market down
with an apparent supply which has NO
real existence, and causes the market
to decline just as effectually as If real
wheat had been sold. And in conse-

farmer is actually made to give away
