rule 20.
"Did you ever see wheat? Have you
ever seen the class of men that are hired to
buy wheat from the farmers in the country?
Well, they are fellows that are selected be-
cause they can get along well with the farm
ers, and mostly because they are good
judges of wheat. Some of them can hardly
writo legibly, and not one in hundred pre-
tends to be a bookkeeper even of the
would require the elevator companies to
hire bookkeeper at every elevator in the
state. The expense would be on an aver
age $4O0 or $500 to each elevator, and
with one thourand elevators it would foot
up nearly half million dollars. This
money would come out of tho business, and
in the long run presume the farmer would
have to pay for it. The price of wheat is
fixed by the demand and supply, and we
don't intend to run our elevators without
a proft-business isn't done that way. So
far as I can see the man that raises the
wheat would have to pay for the addition
al expense in the reduced price paid him.
But by the time this rule was reached for
settlement we were about ready to believe
that tho railroad commissioners were not
disposed to let us have peace, SO we broke
on that rule and prefer to run our elevators
on our own hook rather than be dictated
to by parcel of demagogues.
"Now, I'll tell you why don't think the
railroad commissioners wanted this thing
amicably adjusted. George H. Walsh is
candidate for governor. Hewants to stand
in with the farmers and he sees in the fight
against the elevator companies chance to
boom his prospects. If he puts himself at
the head of fight against the elevators, he
thinks he'll be in it with the farmers. It's
the trick of dernagogue, pure and simple.
"Walsh admitted to an elevator man and
a friend of mine that he thought the inspec-
tion was fake. He said;
Il know that it won't do much good but
IL WILL pACuoO Gu0 duu ~ Will give uS
our so cents car. The elevator companies
can we'll afford to pay this because Well al
low enough margin to make up for the ex-
pense. That's all we're after; we want to
please the farmer and get the SO cents.
"In other words Walsh had nice little
game worked up. 1t was sort of 'heads-
I-win-and tails-you-lose' dodge. If he got
into a war with the elevator companies he
would come forward as the champion of the
downtrodden farmer, if he made arrange
ments with the elevator companies the SO
cents per car was to be his reward"
"What about inspection at the state line?
That seems to be the bone of contention"
mo, we didn't make much of kick on
that. 1t didn't get to that point, but even
that is preposterous. The commissioners
claim that an inspection of wheat at the
stats line will enhance its value. Just how
the value of a bushel of grain will be in
creased because it is inspected by retired
clothing merchant, who doesn't know wheat
from barley, and whose only qualification
for chief inspector rests in the fact that he
is son-in- law of Mr.. Walsh, does not ap-
pear"

THE FREE COINAGE OF SILVER.

The Hon. Patrick Henry Winston

last Monday evening, in the course of
which he said:

and refused and forbidden the same

with gold. SO long will it be aud become
harder to maintain by governmental
power the equality of the two dollars.
The only question then left to de.
termlne is whether this government
Is able t. establish the free and an.
limited coinage of silver into dollars
and at the same time maintain the
silver dollars SO coined at par with
the gold dollars. Upon this question

WHICH PAYS-THE FOREIGNER OR
THE NAIlVE2

Voters who may be inclined to lis.
ten with credence to the oft told tale
that the tariff is a tax on consumers-
or. a. the American Golden puts it,
"the amount Of the duty measures the
tax paid by those who purchase for
use imported articles''-can gain
some useful information BY watching
the maneuvers of foreign producers VI
these articles who have been forced
into a practical application Of this
theory by the Mckinley tariff
just across our northern boundary
line are hundreds Of farmers who have
always depended upon q market in
"the States" for what thoy had to SELL
Why do those men SO seriously object
to the increase Of duty on wheat,
barley, potatoes, etc? A glance at
the market quotations OF the two
cities OF Toronto and Chicago will
tell the tale much more reliably than
all the prophecies and plattudes of
politicians, however pretentious their
claims Of ability to teach voters. The
Canadian farmer can get no more per
bushel for his wheat and barley this
side the line than the American farm.
er gets for similar grains he has to
sell. The one pays rs cents per
bushel on wheat and 30 cents on bar
ley, as we'll as the freight. before he
can get into the Chicago market,
while the other gets there by paying
the freight alone. The Canadian secs
this and objects TO the tariff because
1t comes out Of his pocket and in no
wise "measures the tax paid by those
who purchase" the products Of his
farm.
The same knowledge has been
forced home upon the hordes OF for
eign manufacturers, who see in this
country the best market in the world
for their wares. Hence tho commo.
ton throughout the entire list in
every industrial center of Europe.
Nobody believes that the cutlery
makers of Sheffield, the cotton weav,
ers Of Manchester, the WOODEN naru-
facturers o! Leeds, would be holding
meetings and passing resolutions de-
nouncing the protective tariff Of the
United States if their goods could be
sold for the same price as under free
trade. They 90 to all such trouble
and expense, besides that of main
tanning the Golden Club propaganda,
because they hope to inaugura,e free
trade and thereby make larger profits
than are found possible after paying
the existing tariff. The man who
asks voters to see these facts in any
different light places q low estimate
upon their intelligence, and is the re-
verse of complimentary toward his
free trade confedera,es on the other
side Of the Atlantic.

country of both parties are of the
opinion that it is impossible to do this
thing without the consent of other
nations Of the world who have de-
monetized silver. l an not at all dis.
posed to quarrel with that view SO
long as those who entertain it will
agree With me that just as we can
have the FREQ and unlimited coinage
OF silver without disturbing the re-
lation between the two metals, it is
our duty--a duty we owe to com erce,
to business, to trade and to labor-to
do 50.
There is, however, an aspect OF the
silver question upon which l have
very decided convictions, and that is
that part of it which relates to silver
ceislation as it affects American in
dustry and American capital. By the
present law the government buys 4124
grains of silver at whatever it - worth
at the time Of the purchase and then
makes OF it legal tender silver dollar.
If the silver that comprises that dollar
IS purchased for seventy FIVE cents,
and is afterwards turned into legal
tender silver dollar which is passed of
by the governments as one hundred
cents, the government has made
twenty-five cents on that dollar BY
the transaction. This undoubtedly
inures to the benefit OF every ci,izen
Of the United States, and, if the silver
50 purchased were Of foreign produc-
ton, in my judgment it would be the
proper thing. But am opposed to
the principle which is involved when
it is sought to apply it to silver pur.
chases and which is produced from
American mines. My position is that
if the iron ore OF Pennsy lvania, Of
Alabama, and Of West Virginia is to
be protected by tariff legislation, il the
manufactured goods Of Connecticut,
OF New York, and Of New Jersey are
to be protected, If tho wool Of Oregon
and Ohio is to be SO protected,
why not the silver lead ore Of
Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming
and Of Washington? and contend
that they should also be protected in
like degree if this can BE- done BY
congressional enactment. If it be
true that at a certain given time Ger.
tain given articles OF foreign manu-
facture can be bought for less than
the American articles of like kind but
for tariff legislation, which legislation
has been passed in the interests Of the
producer Of that article, why should
not similar legislation be extended to
those who own and to those who
produce the silver lead ore that now
lies in the earth in the great states ]
have named? think the silver lead
ore interests of these states involve as
much OF value and are as important
and affect as many people as the
WOODEN and other large interests Of
this country. Therefore | would favor.
under the principle Of prote ot;on to
American Interests, the free and uE>
limited coinage of American silver,
giving to the mine owner and pro-
Queer OF the metal the benefit of the
difference in price and value of the
metal before it was soined. Along
this line and policy Of protection l
think this great question can fairly be
confined and argued.
