How the Farmers Talk.

The gold bugsand their allies makes
big mistake If they suppose that their
talk about sound money converts the
farmers to gold monometallism.
The farmers waste no time in dis
cussing details and minor points. They
take the broad position they were
prosperous in 1866 when we had $52
per capita in circulation, and that they
are not prospering now with only &25
per capita, and four-fifths of that con-
gested In the east.
The farmers say that the value of an
acres product of cotton in 1866 was
$28.O1. and that now it is only $40. 65.
Other farm products have declined in
about the same proportion, and the fall
in prices has occurred since the demon
etization of silver In 1873.
The farmers are aware of the fact
that their income this year is 81, $780,
600, 1000 less than it was in 1870, and
they are not slow to place the blame
where it belongs. They know very
well that currency con traction lowers
prices and benefits nobody but the
creditor class.
1t is plain enough to the farmers
that under the present financial system
they get only about the cost of pro-
duction for their crops and laborers'
wages. They make bare living.
Naturally, this state OF affairs 10 hurt
ing the merchants, and manufacturers
suffer. When the farmers are hard
up they buy less at the stores, and the
merchants, in consequence, order
smaller lots from the manufacturers.
When 80, 900. 900 people living in the
farming districts 45 per cent Of our
population - have their purchasing
power SO tremendously diminished, the
manufacturers aud merchants sell few
or goods, and many Of them have to
suspend business, as was the case dur
OAO PesSe SPA Ank ebA0 oAt0n1OIs
With these facts before them tho far
mers' answer to the monometallists is
not very elaborate or argumentative.
They simply say: I'VE know what your
policy has done for US In the past twen-
ty years. It has made our products 60
lower and lower every year, until our
loss this year amounts to $1,000, ,OOO,-
900. We know that your policy makes
the creditor class in the east richer and
makes US poorer. The instinct OF self
preservation makes it necessary for us
to fight the demonetization OF silver and
all other modes OF contracting the cur
rency."
This is the way the farmers talk. and
they mean business. They believe that
the country needs more money and they
are going to work for it and vote for It
until they get 1T. These people are not
tools. They cannot be persuaded that
they are more prosperous and happy
with $25 per capita than they are with
P52 per capita. In order to prove to
hem that the contraction OF the curren-
" has helped industry and commerce,
you will have to show them that a man
IAN walk better after he loses one Of
lis legs. Their idea is that we need q
double standard OF money just a.
much as a man needs a double stand
lrd of locomotion.
The farmers are on the right line.
they have been thinking and figuring.
md all the goldbug phamphlets in the
world will never change their views.

The Worlds Fair was open to the

been raised that the gates should be
open on Sunday to give the laboring
class an opportunity to attend the big
show, as they could not go through the

men were decidedly in the minority last
Sunday, which shows that this class are
not responsible for the people of these

A Fateful Day.

Saturday was an unlucky day at Long
Run mines. Two painful accidents oc-
Cured on that day by which two miners
are laid up with broken limbs. William
Hockenberry, while hauling some cars
with a mule, was run over by a car
which jumped the track and had his
leg broken and received injuries about
the chest. Frederick Kerr, man past
middle age, while working about some
loose slate, had leg broken by large
piece which fell upon him. During the
past three months accidents in the
mines of this region have been remark
ably frequent.
