We find by examining the above
figures tina: the Democrats are now
camping on the same ground that the
Republicans occupied thirty wears ago,
there being only 60 cents difference to
the farmer under the Republican law
of 1861 and the Democratic law of
1894. The difference to the farmer
between the Mckinley and present
Democratic law is sd. II on his yearly
purchases, therefore, it must be this
.2l. II that all this tariff racket is
about. From this table we can see
exactly the relation in which the farm
er stands to both the old parties as
far as the tariff is concerned. As the
law now stands the difference to the
farmer between the Democratic and
Republican parties on the tariff aues-
ton. when measured in dollars and
cents, is SLIP. Then the issue when
narrowed down is whether the farmer
will pay $21.12 tariff more or less an
nuallv. When one ha, studied the
money question, and sees how this
same farmer is robbed and plundered
each year by the money power of the
world. the tariff question at once
dwindIes into utter insigniticance.
Let us now examine into the naked
facts and see how the farmer has been
affected by vicious financial legislation.
and robbed of his bir;hright while the
politicians have been crying tariff
tariff. IN order to drown the cries Of a
plundered people. Let us take the
average crop of the cotton farmer. ten
bales weighing sou pounds each, a
,otal of 5000 pounds. We find that
he price of cotton in 1872. the wear
before silver was demonetized. was
worth from Is to p cents per ponud,
The average rice being about 20 cents.
The ten bales OF cotton at that time at
20 cents per pound. would net the
farmer 81, 900. The same ten bales of
cotton now at the present price 6 cents
per pound. would net him $500. We
find from these figures that somehow
Or somehow else the cotton farmer has
been robbed of 500 ON his years pro-
duction of cotton. The crop thai he
produced in 1871 cost no more labor
than the crop he produced in 1894. then
why 10 this difference of 500. Let us
see how it is with the wheat raiser.
Take 1000 bushels of wheat rs the
average crop. In 1872, the year be-
tore silver was demonetixed, wheat VA
worth from 9l.65 to q. 10 per busbel.

FINANCE AND TARIFF
AN INTERESTING COMPARISON
OF FIGURES.
How the Farmer Is Affected by the DIFF
ferent Acts OF I.egislat iOn on the Tariff
OuestiOn-The Wool Pulled Over His
Eyes.
Who Paws the Bill.

For generations the politicians of
this country have agreed i'll almost
every campaign. that the tariff should
be the lssle. They nave always found
it il convenient bone of contention,
over which the masses would easily
divide. 1t is question that is very
complex TO the average voter. 1t Is Il
splendid issue upon which to appeal to
sectionalism and arouse party spirit.
The leaders of the Democratic and
Republican parties have mutually
agreed for SO long that the tariff was
the great issue in American politics,
that the average voter in these parties.
without seriously considering the mat
ter, and without study or investigation
upon his part has settled down to the
idea that the tariff is really the issue.
The politicians have one-half the peo-
pie attributine all their grievances TO
the fact that the tariff is too high and
the other half to the fact that the tariff
is too low.
The Democratic campaign commit
tee has just gotten out a campaign
book of 246 pages in which it devotes
twelve lines or one hundred and eighty

are to Judge from what is here said ON
the subject, AS to the policy of the
Democratic party, we are ut a loss to
understand how any honest. free coin
age man can have the faintest hope of
ever getting free coinage through the
Democratic party. On the entire tinan-
cial question this campaign book con-
tains five pages. while it uevotes one
hundred and eleven pages to the tariff,
so it is very plain that the Democrats
are going to do everything possible to
force the tariff to the front and try TO
ignore the financial question alto
sether. The Republicans are at work
on the same line, and are delighted
that they can fight over the same old
ground. There are Il great many
honest Democrats and Republicans
who candidly believe that the tariff is
the great issue.
For the benefit of all such, we have
undertaken in this article to prove that
the great oversliadowing question to
American politics to-day is the finan-
cial question. ann that the tariff is sec
rndary in every particular. The fol-
lowing table shows the amount of tar
| if paid by the average farmer on the
necessaries of life which he buys each
year. 1t shows the amount he would
