Worse than Folly.

1.-The effect of the depreciation OF
silver must ultimately be the complete
ruin of the agricultural and export in
terests of the United States and the de-
velopment of India as the chief wheat
and cotton exporter of the world" So
said Sir Richard Fowler, member of
parliament and London banker, to. the
London chamber of commerce. Ee
said truthfully too, and his prediction
has so nearly come to pass that the
wheat and cotton industry of this coun-
try is bankrupt and our exports fallen
off so that the balance against us ruins
our gold interests by drawing it away
from US. And SO it is that men whom
we rate as statesmen, who believe
themselves such, have, through igno-
rance, fiattery and bribery, pursued a
policy that has ruined four of our
greatest industries. What is worse
than all is, after their folly is pointed
out they still persist in it--Iowa Farm
