Down to this point I have made

are of most Importance to Us, but this
IS not quite fair, as the decline in other
things has not been so great. find it
extremely difficult to make satisfac-
tory table representing the average de-
cline. think it perfectly safe to say that
on the average of 20 great American sta
ples the purchasing power of gold is to-
day at least 40 per cent greater than it
was in 1878. In other words, the value
Of uncoined gold has changed four times
as much rs that of uncoined silyer-a
40 per cent advance against a 10 per
cent decline.
And here IS, to my mind, the most
extraordinary fact in the whole bust,

REPUBLICAN POLICY.
Chairman Carter Outlines the Principles
of the Next Campaign.


of the Next Campaign.
NEW YORK, June 3-Thomas II.
Carter, chairman Of the Republican
national committee, in public state
ment says:
'In 1896, the Republican party will
stand for protection, and the restora-
ton of bimetallism on substantial and
enduring basis. There may be differ
ences of opinion in the party on the
schedules, but not upon the principle Of
protection. There will be differences
of opinion as to the best course to pur-
sue to secure the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver at d
fixed ratio. But there will be no diff
ference of opinion as to the desirability
Of bringing about that result.
Upon one question there will be
neither difference of opinion as to the
general principle involved, or as to the
means to be employed. That is with
reference to the restoration of vigor-
Gus, thoroughly American foreign
policy.
Il am persuaded that the Republican
national convention will pledge the
party anew and with great earnestness
and force to this line of policy. The
people demand it. They are CONSCIOUS
Of their strength, and they realize that
this republic can no longer be referred
to as merely nation. They know that
it has become and is nation"

THE NEW ENGLAND FARMER.
His Lot az Compared With Farmers Il
the Northwest.

His Lot as Compared With Farmers IA
the Northwest.
Among the farmers Of the United
States the New England farmer is PEI
culiarly fortunate in his surroundings.
according to the comparisons made by q
writer in the New England Homestead,
who appears to have had experience on
farms both east and west. He says the
New England farmers markets for
small amounts Of produce are only three
to ten miles away in the factory vii
lagos, or If he has larger amount that
cannot readily be marketed in factory
villages, he Can place his produce in
either Of several cities by paying for 100
miles of cheap transportation. His west
ern brother must pay for at least 1000
miles Of transportation, which often
costs more than one-half the price of his
crop after the market is reached.
The New England farmer takes some.
thing to market nearly every week in
the year, and it the produce is in q salable
condition he can always expect some re-
turn, while his western brother has to
wait six months at time before he can
hope to realize on his main crop, and if
be tries to trade some small produce like
butter and eggs for the necessaries to
support his family in the meantime, he
Is apt to be told by the general supply
merchant that "the market Is overstock-
cd already. (" There is then no choice for
him but to go in debt for his supplies
until after the next harvest. These must
be paid for ont Of his main crop when
it comes to market. At that time the
supply merchant will begin to press for
payment, and that W. u force him to sell
at price leaving him at the mercy of
the supply merchant for another year.
Meanwhile the New England farmer
has paid his way all summer, and if in
the fall he has any crop to sell, what
ever that brings him may be reckoned
as the profits of the season.
When the western farmer is about to
begin going in debt for winter fuel.and
other supplies, the New England farm
er betakes himself to his wood lot,
where he can cut years supply of fuel
at his leisure. If repairs are needed on
buildings OF fences, he caR provide the
material at little above cost of his own
labor, or if he needs finer lumber than
his own wood lot and the nearest saw
mill can supply he can take load Of
chestnut posts to the nearest lumber
yard and exchange for what he needs.
All this time, with his cellar well
stocked with sailed meats, fruits and
vegetables, and his poultry yards full
Of fowls, he suffers no anxiety on ac-
count of bill at the supply merchants.
While the western farmer and his fam.
lily are shivering over COW manure fire
in sod shanty Of two rooms, and the
cattle are eating wheat straw and los
ing ears and tail in the blizzard, the
New England farmer can read his paper
by wood fire in his ten room frame
house. in the happy consciousness that
his cattle are eating good hay in warm
stable.
