IT BEATS THE FARMER

This administration is bent on beat
ing the farmer and the west. Nothing
short of reducing the producing classes
to the level of the European serf will
satisfy Grover and his crowd. For q
moment contemplate that order issued
yesterday by that secretary OF agri-
culture who parts both his hair and
name in the middle. From the Miss
issippi river to the Pacific. from the
British possessions to the gulf, the
leading interest is cattle They are
scattered all over the prairies and
plains and along the mountain sides
and in the canons of a dozen states
and territories For ten years past
these cattle raisers have had the worst
of it Prices have been so ruinOusIy
low at times that thousands of men
have been bankrupted. At last Il
turn occurs and beef advances TO Il
decent price. In face Of the admin
istratiOns hypocritical whine over the
condition Of the farmer, its agricul-
tural department issues an order rails
ing the quarantine, admitting the good
for nothing Stringy cattle of Old Mex
leo into this country. This beats the
western farmer and stock raiser
These down casters not only make us
pay back cur borrowed capital in gold
worth twice what it was when borrow
ed but when because of corn crop
failures we are about to get a fair price
for our beef they step in with free
trade, Argentine cattle proposition and
another TO load down our markets
with long horn t0ros from Old Mexico.

A FEW FIGURES AND FACTS.

Mulhall Of London,a celebrated sta
tistician, states the quantity OF gold
and silver in the world. coined and
uncoined. at six periOdS-16O0, 100,
1890. 1913, 1880 and 1880 as follows:
In the year 1900, twenty-Seyen tons
of silver to one ton of gold; in the year
100, thirty-four tons of silver to one
ton of gold; in the year 1900; thirty
two tons of silver to one ton of gold;
in the year 1913, thirty-one tons of
silver to one ton of gold; in the year
1880: eighteen tons Of silver to one ton
of gold; in the year 1880. eighteen tons
of silver to one ton of gold; in the year
1880, nineteen tons of silver to one ton
of gold. From this it will be observed
that all this talk about OverprOduc-
ton of silver, causing its decline in
price, is without foundation in fact.
In the United States, for more than
one hundred years, silver and gold We're
at Il parity as coin when there was
more silver in the world in proportion
to gold, than in 1893, when it was prac-
tically demOnetiZed in the United
States and excluded from the minis.

ment is soon expected that men ARE
making fortunes in day" This is
all the result Of the sudden jump in
the price Of petroleum, which does not
seem aSsignable TO any other cause
than the whim or the concealed pur-
pose of the Standard Oil trust And
if the tricky fingers of the trust are be-
hind the strings of this, the latest
boom. il will be short-lived But what
ever its source of stimulation, or how
ever short its career. men all over the
country watch it with fondness.
Nearly ten years have passed since
a speculative boom of any kind with
land involved took place. When the
boom was on every man in the country
was imbued with the speculative fever.
Fortunes of great magnitude We're to
be madeand were made in a minimum
Of time. But the reaction came and
has remained with stubborn reality
ever since.
From east coast TO west coast it is
no longer possible to make i great
fortune without effort and without cap
ital. The only road left to riches is
the ancient one of economy. and. in
the face Of peculiarly tight times.
economy that is niggardly. Legiti-
mate business, which always gains
lively stimulus from the activity of
speculative prosperity, has dropped to
Il lower plane where a maximum eff
fort can result in only a minimum of
profit. The great manufacturers are
running cautiously shOrt-handed, and
capital for from specializing only in
trusts its wealth TO gold, locked sure

ON that account the oil boom is en-
livening. for while boom Of specu-
lative origin is deleteriOuS always in its
effects, it has magnificent charm
