about 500. 900 and his bond is for $50, 900.

pert Brown, who examined the hooks,
says there is an apparent deficiency OF
$3.50, 900, of which one-half is accounted
for by good, natural advances to con-

in advance of their payment of
taxes to enable them to escape the
percentage added after the expira-
ton of the stated time for payment.

House OF Representatives,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 10, 1890.
Mr. Wesley Collins:
DEAR SIR ours of 18th inst. recelv-
ed. Nothing pleases me more than the
fact that the farmers are becoming so
thoroughly aroused upon questions of
public policy. Am inclined to think
that nothing but misfortune would
arouse them, and as through experience
alone comes the proper knowledge upon
which to have wise laws rest, | do not
know as their present unfortunate con-
dition will be without recompense.
The prosperity of the country rests
upon the prosperity of Agriculture.
Manufacturers think that it rests upon
the prosperity of manufacturing in
terests. That, in my opinion, is wholly
wrong. Manufacturing interests, II. r.
interests, mercantile interests and all
commercial interests, depend for per-
manent prosperity, upon the prosperity
and not the misfortunes of agricultural
pursuits. | have talked this with many
retail merchants, both in Detroit and
New York and | have yet to find one
who attempts to deny. They begin to
appreciate that they have been engaged
III trading goods made by law, for pro-
ducts as cheap as the competition of
open markets of the world can force
them, and that is an up hill business.
Our government in giving to rail roads
millions OF acres of land, has contribut-
ed to unnatural competition in agri-
culture and at the same time has by
law prevented natural competition in
the very goods that agricultural pro-
ducts are exchanged for. 1t has work
ed both ways against the farmer.
| hope that your organization will
not consent to any of the giging plans
reported by either the house or senate
committee, for the coinage of silver
should be full legal tender for both
private and public debts. | assure you
that the effort to so word the bill that
all mortgages shall be payable in gold
and yet not plainly appear to all that
is causing the delay. The demOnetiZa-
ton of silver is 1873 reduced the num-
Der of legal tender dollars. added bur-
den to every time contract by reducing
price of commodities in proportion to
the reduction of dollars. the partial re-
mOnetization in 1873 has been contract
ed by an equal retirement of national
bank notes to the amount of silver
coined, which, together with the large
withdrawal of circulation by taxation
has SO increased both principal and in
terest Of all mortgages that discourage
ment and ruin follow. Wisdom con-
sists i'll not eXacting too much but in
tirmness in what is sought. This sub
ject is of interest to me and so | have
written you thus at length. | will try
and send you some documents bearing
upon 1t. Yours truly,
