happy and abundant results.
Perhaps the most formidable OF these
infiucnces-one indeed not less important
than the low tarif-was the free coinage OF
the immense gold production OF those years.

A Time of Agricultural Prosperity

Following our history back in this way
we find that the nearest time of prosperity
10 agriculture was soon after the COnfcdCr-
ate war, when cotton brought a very high
price and times were flush We cannot af-
ford. however. 70 take this period as basis
OF comparison because 1t was produced oy
the general lookup of the war, and there
fore cannot aid Us in arriving at remedy
to be applied in i time of peace. So turning
still further back we reach the year 1860,
and there find agricultural abundance.
Tracing back the preceding years We find
that it began about 1877 and continued with
but slight Interruptions during the follow
ing thirteen wears. Statistics display this
prosperity conclusively. From 1850 TO 1850
the farm values of the United states in
creased from S;i.27l. 5i5,42l 10 stit45. 0i' 0U1.
This addition to the farming wealth OF the
country represented an average increase of
about l0l3 per cent. or i total increase i'll
the ten years Of about lob per cent. There
was nothing exorbitaut about this ratio of
increase. you will observe, but only i
healthy, progressive. safe return 10 aglicul-
tural investment and labor. Nor did agri-
culture alone flourish in those historic
wears. We find that manufactures also IN
creased in values during the same period,
from 1913. 24535l 70 81. 600, S55. 1l5. or an ay-
erage increase of about . per cent per an
nun. Thus You see that while agriculture
flourished unduly or at the expense of the
other. The profits of agriculture slightly
exceeded those of manufacturing, but il
was only such advantage as free COMPETE
ton and fair trade gave 10 it in the strug-
giles OF business.
During the same time the merchant
marine of the United States increased also
from a tonnage of , $50 4G to u tonnage of
1888 tiS. These several comparisons are
specially useful because they demonstrate
that the span of years which has been
carved out. was not only produo i've of agri-
cultural thrift, but also of that diversified
progress which Republicans unjustiy
claim to be the special achievement of their
policy. II is unnecessary TO collect further
figures at this time. 1t is enough 10 say
that writer's of every shade OF opinion Join
in the admission of the fact that taken al
together the period which has been desig-
mated WAS one of unusual prosperity TO the
farmers of the Union.
Let Us therefore look into the economic
and financial surroundings of that period l.
the era from lS41 to 1S60-the thirteen years
to which the calamities of our civil war
succeeded

Government Economy from 1874. to 1860.


But, fellow citizens there was still an
other agency of prosperity which mani
tested itself during that long stretch of
Democratic rule which immediately pre-
coded the civil war. II was the simple
principle of economy III the expenses of the
government. The Southern statesmen who
exercised such potent influence in the adj
ministration of Federal affairs prior to 1861,
were as frugal of the government resources
as il sas possible to be. They did not al
low themselves to dream of wars perhaps
century of. and spend millions IL building
ships 20 rot a the waters edge while wait
ing. 1t did not occur 10 them TO be the
proper thing to appropriate more money
than ninety men out of a hundred will
handle in 4 lifetime, 10 construct towering
buildings at Aurora and Mankato and She
boygdu, ami numerous other places. with
pretentiOus claims and small populations.
They gave no heed 10 the multiplied prof
ects of experiment which now muster on
the appropriation bills as if they were prime
necessities of government. They lived up
to the doctrine that he money in the treas
ury belonged To the people, and that every
dollar they gave 10 a specific individual or
enterprise they took away from the masses
whom they represented The records show
that the total of Federal expenses for the
year 1S41 was $50, so. SCI. and for the year
1860 was 81, O55, i25. Between these dates
amounts Appropriated. The Federal eX-
pense, therefore. al that time averaged a
little more than y per capita
1t was entirely natural. therefore, that
during these thirteen years, enjoying an
economical administration of the govern
ment, together with low tariff, free coinage
and elastic Dank currency, our resources
should develop with unbounded thrift.
Well may it be called the golden age of ag-
ricuiture in this country, for when the
annual crops We're marketed nearly every
careful farmer had something over and
above expenses TO invest or save. And not
only this, but he could enjoy the unselfish
satisfaction Of knowing that the merchant,
the ship builder and the mill owner by the
side of Northern rivers, ali shared in the
abundance which good government had left
in the hands of the toilers who created it.
On all sides there was industrial freedom,

The men rode safety machines, says
the Army and Navy Register, and car
ried Colts lightning magazines, forty
four caliber carbines and Colts regular
army revolver. When mounted, each
man carries his carbine slung across his
back by means Of n strap. The carbine
has n capacity of twelve shots and the
revolver Of six shots, giving TO the nine
wheelmen n total Of 1862 shots without
pausing to reload. The weight of the
carbine is five pounds. The manual
used by these wheelmen was compiled
by Lieut.. Giddings, from United States
infantry and English cycle tactics. One
of the tests to which the bicycle corps
was put TO at camp was n sham fight
between wheelmen and n detachment
Of infantry and u squad of cavalry.
They were also tested as messengers
and the flag signaling, with which the
wheel messengers competed, seems to
have been SLOW.
Col Daherty. Of the Second Connecti-
cut regiment, was supposed to be at
tackled on his flank when two miles
away from ms camp. He sent n mes
sage of some ten or fifteen words to
headquarters by can Of the regular
flag signal service asking that a ma
chine gun be sent to his assistance at

message TO one of the wheelmen for de-
livery. For the first half mile the mes
sage was carried for the regular serv-
ice by q horseman 20 q house, from
whose roof the first flag began 20 wave.
