OHIO Farmers Convention.

| One of the most lily considered things
done by the Ohio Farmers at their recent
session at Columbus was their declaration
in favor of the issue of money, gold, silver
and greenbicks all legal tender, and upon
equal basis in the aggregate equivalent
to $50 per capital. This would amount to
three thousand millions, nearly double
that now in existence. Could that be main
tained on an equal basis? There could be
no equality unless the paper should be
equivalent to coii, as it is now The vol
umes of coiu could not he increased by ii
mere resolution Or by an act of Congress.
This is something nobody need tell to in
teiligent farmers. Would it make money
plenty? Years ago, in the old State bank
and free bank times, prominent business
man remarked that if banks of issue could
maxi money plenty, it would never be
scarce. The same remark womld apply to
the theory of the farmers. If the government
by running its printing presses as suggest
ell, could make money plenty, it would not
at any time be scarce The Confederacy
tried that experiment, and so much paper
money was in issue that the charges fer
backing boots wss five dollars The
United States tried it also, and at times 81
in gold brought $3.50 in greenblcks Prices
of commodities were high, of course, meas
ured in paper money, but after all settle
ments were made in gold, which was the
money of the cOmmerCIll world, and when
the country came back to the specie stand
ard, the road was found a mighty rough
one to travel. The South American States
tried the same experiment, and most disas-
trous in the result. 1t wrecked that couu.
try, and its effect upon the finances OF
England and France and Germany was
terrible. Those countries have not vet
recovered from it, and it accounts for the
drain of gold from the United States The
latter, by reason of its financial system, is
the most solid of all the nations, and for
this reason i; is the country to which the
surplus population of other nations are
seeking to come, and its securities are these
in which Euroein capitalists seek to invest.
To change the policy in this country from
which there have been such grand results
would be suicidal. Let it never be forgot
ten that coin is the standard of value,
and that no paper money can be fioated
that is not convertible into coin This is
the financial barometer, and it as unerring
and interchangeable as thu mercury that
marks the tempersture of weather.

Crop Prospects at Home and
Abroad

In a leading editorial on Thurs
day that careful and Conservative
Journal the Philadelphia Ledger,
expresses the opinion based upon
a review of lis English exchanges.
that the prospect Of the harvest is SO
bad in the United Kingdom and
the continent, as to render it more
than probable that Europe will be
obliged to draw heavily upon the
United States for its bread supply
during the ensuing year. The mis-
fortunes of our neighbors, resulting
from an inadequate cereal crop,
cannot be considered cause fol- con-
graduation by this country, but not
only our own people, but those OF
the Old World, may very properly
congratulate themselves that the
grain harvest OF the United States is
likely to be extra large in 1891.
There were fears entertained that
the rece mt low temperature and the
prolonged drought which prevailed
throughout large part of the
Western and other sections of the
Union, would seriously injure the
grain crops, but latest reports indi
cate that there was no real occasion
for this fear; that no material harm
has been inflicted by either the re-
cent frosts or the drv weather, and
that the promise of yield of bread
stuffs will be both large in quantity
and good in quality.
This will be good news for the
farmers, who have not enjoyed too
much prosperity during the last two
or three years. Some times they
have had large crops with a small
foreign demand, and again, when
they have had a satisfactory Euro
pean market their crops have been
small. For this year the present
promise of the situation is that of a
bountiful harvest and an unusually
great demand from abroad.
The farming interest of the United
States is SO large as to make its pros
perlty an assurance of national
wealth. When the harvests are
abundant the cross roads stores are
busiest buying, selling and barter
ing, and their activity goes hand in
hand with that of the saws, looms
and anvils of the country's great
industries, which in turn supply bust
ness to the railroads. The plethoric
barns and stacks of the farmers are
to the national trade pretty much
what the water is to the wheel of the
mill. They are the motive power
which keeps going the ships, the
trains, the shops, mills, mines and
furnaces, and which brings custom
ers to the manufacturer, the jobber,
the wholesale and the retail mer-
chant.
The harvest year is still young,
and it is possible that the present
untoward condition of the European
crops may greatly improve, or that
the yield of cereals in the United
States may not be so large as exist
ing appearances promise; but assum-
ing that the conclusions of our
English contemporaries with regard
to the present outlook are correct,
and that the prospect here will
continue as it now is till the reaper
is put into the grain, Europe's de-
mand for Our wheat and corn NAV
be SO large as to ensure to the farm
ers an unusually successful year-a
year in which money is likely to be
so plentiful among them as to make
them forget to consider longer their
impossible Sub-Treasury pawnbrok-
ing scheme.
