about fifty cents. and buShel of wheat about
fiftv-six cents. 1t is this condition of things
which has brought ruin TO many farmers, and
if silver is not remonetiZed the farmers who
are in debt are in a sad plight indeed.
DISHONEST MONEY TALK.
Oh. but the money lenders say. you want TO
pay US off with deprecated coin Not at all.
Restore silver and we will pay You in the
money we borrowed of you. We will give
you dollar that will buy as much as the one
you lent us Besides. 1t is far better that the
rich and wealthy should give up something Of
their abundance rather than that the great
majority of their fellows and equals should be
ruined They have already made millions by
the law. and it would not be unjust or unfair
if. in restoring to others their due. the rich
should be made to surrender a portion OF
their gains. Of course we will hear them
saw. don't give me dishonest dollar. They
seem to forget that this money which they call
dishonest is the money which our fathers used;
that il is the money of the Constitution; that
it has been the money of the wage-earner
from the DAYS of Abraham and that silver is
the equal and even the superior of gold when
there is no discrimination against 1t.
But believe the times are proportions tor
an early settlement of this question. The
farmers of England. Germany, Austria and
France are appealing to their governments tor
relief from the evils which a single gold
standard has imposed upon them. and here
on this side the water there Is an awakened
public sentiment on the question. The people
have found out the great crime which has
been committed against them, and are pre-
pairing for the struggle which they believe viii
be fought for the recovery of their rights
1t is my conviction that this question of the
remonetization Of silver has come to the front
and it has come to stay until the American
people shall have decided at the ballot box
for themselves whether the greed Of the
money power or the voice of the people shall
rule and write the laws of this nation
