SOlu OF Silver COIN, as Inc PreSS KNOWS,
and we did not pay for it in our bull
ion, for our total exports of gold coin
and bullion, including all interest on
and redemption of our foreign bonds,
for the twenty years from 1870 to 1890,
exceeded our imports by only $751;
965, SOS.
Will Stay In this Country.
1.-THE tin plate mills already built or
projected under the new tariff have 8
capacity of 2s3, 600, 900 pounds a year.
which, at the present average import
value, means about 81, GOO, 0oo annually,
or in twenty years $40, 600, OOO'' worth
of farm products that will stay in this
country" And rot?
The Press dares not tell the whole
truth. But by suppressing three words
in one sentence and four words in
another, it deceives and deludes the
reader into believing that we pay in
our money and not in our labor prod
ucts tor what we import.
The Bunco Steerer at Work.
Every Protection bunco-steerer who
seeks to delude and deceive the Repub-
lican farmer with this bunco knows
that every dollars worth of our i'm
ports is the foreign payment for our
surplus cotton, corn, wheat and pork
sent abroad to find an exchange mar
ket for something we want. But he
imagines that the Repu blican farmer
is such fool as to believe that when
this payment for our farm labor does
not compete with the products of our
labor it does not disturb the money
market, but that foreigners will only
exchange for our gold coin that which
completes with our mill products. He
fools the farmer into believing that
what is on the free list is exchanged
for farm products, and what is "pro-
tected' must be paid for in gold.
War on tho Farmer.
THE War on the Farmer waged by
the protected tariff trusts through
their hired men is war of deception,
of lying, of forgery, of downright
swindling, as this tariff picture in the
Press proves beyond doubt to any
thinking man. It was less than three
years ago that the American Economist,
'ofhcial organ of the Protective Tariff
League" in defending the sugar trust,
said:
In 1882 the value of molasses, sugar,
sugar-candy and confectionery i'm
ported was 500, 491, 1914. The Ameri-
can Economist would like to see that
money retained in the United States.
This vast sum expended for foreign
sugars relieved European countries,
mainly England, from paying to us
like sum in gold.
We wish to keep the money, and the
goods representing money, for the use
and consumption of Americans, SO that
the profits on the goods produced to
ray for the sugar and the profits on
sugar should be both American.
: The Big Corruption Fund.
But when the Republican sugar trust
refused to pay its campaign assessment
of $500, it was put over the fire and
had it's fat fried out" The $500, ooo,-
600 in gold" that was formerly 'ssent
out of the country yearly to buy" our
sweetening now remains here because
the Mckinley bill put the raw material
on the free list and reduced the pro-
lection from $45, 900, 900 yearly to SIS
oo0,0o0 Before 1890 we paid for it in
our gold Since 1890 we have paid for
it in our surplus farm labor.
How much longer will the Republi-
can farmers of this country permit the
hired men of the Tariff trusts to buneo
them with such nonsense as thisp
If we only..pay in our farm la Dor prod
ucts for that which is on the free list,
why not put everything on the free
list and give the farmer chance?
Every dollars worth of imported
product is sent here az payment for
American labor in the United States.
The Protectionists are trying to deprive
that American labor-which produces
on the farms more than we consume
of ali payment for it's surplus that
may compete with mill-machine
owner. Eighty per cent. of our sur
plus labor is on our farms, and it is the
prosperity of farm la Dor the Protective
Tariff league has been organized to
destroy. Il has no other object Who
can imagine any? T. E WILSON.
