The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1894-10-10

The farmers not only of Ohio
alone but OF other states have be-
gun to realize that the financial
legislation Of the Republican party,
In the interest of the non-product-
i've class, has placed them between
the upper and neither millstones
and is grinding them to death.
They have not begun to realize 1t
any too soon.
Il is natural that the farmers Of
Ohio should desire to have the pre-
vailing system abolished and that
they should stand together In the
Ohio Democratic convention and
demand that silverl should be re-
stored to its former place. But the
farmers have not suffered alone.
Every man that produces has seen
the value Of his product shrink In
the same proportion. It Is an issue
between all labor and all money
loaners-between all who live by
their toll and those who live by the
toll of others.-.Ec.

WHAT HAS HURT THE FARMERs.

It Is Significant of the trend of
thought among the agricultural
classes that the free silver plank in
the Ohio Democrat platform was
demanded and secured by the ru-
raj delegates. The opposition came
principally from the cities Of Gin
cinnati and Cleveland, where bank
ing, and combinations Of capital are
prominent factor In molding
monetary sentiment, The country
districts fought out the fight and
won It.
There IL a hopeful promise in this
action and in the deep rooted de-
termination that the action de-
notes. The interests of agriculture
have been receiving no considera-
tion whatever in national legisla-
zion for years. Glasses that have
had interests to be enhanced by a
high protective tariff have had
their claims considered and grant
ed, says the Cleveland Plain Deal
er. Money lenders that have seen
opportunities to their own enrich.
ment through degradation of sil-
yer and with 1t a depreciation Of
all values have had the coveted
oppor tunities accorded them. The
agriculturalist has received moth
ing-not even justice. His inter-
ests have been sacrificed that 9TH
er interests might thrive upon his
loss.
The facts In detail are more po-
tent than any bare assertion can
be. For thirty years the farmer
has been forced to sell all he pro-
duces at prices flxed In the free
trade market Of Liverpool, in open
competition with the cheapest la
Dor in the world, while all he has
had to buy has been enhanced in
price by high tariff. Notonly that,
but the value of farms and improve
nents and the prices of all pro-
ducts of the farm have been enor-
mously deprecated by the financial
legislation of. the last twenty years.
Not only have heyfarms in this
country shrunk in value, but the
last official report shows that one
forth Of them have become shingled
with mortgages.
The agriculturists have become
the debtor class of this country,
More money Is loaned today upon
farm land than upon any other
class of real estate. The constant
shrinkage in values has victimized
the farmer doubly, for while his
income has decreased he has been
compelled to give two bushels OF
wheat in payment of debt that rep.
resented but one bushel ten years
ago.
The following table shows the
uniformity with which the value Of
wheat has deprecated with the de-
probation in silver, since the de-
snOnafiZation Of that metal.
