EVERY argument employed by
the gold advocates against the free
coinage of silver is either mere
technical bubble or an absolute
misstatement of facts. In one
breath they say that the effect of
free coinage will be to enable silver
miners to get 81 for go cents worth
of silver. In the next they insist
that it will food the country with
50-cent dollars-two arguments as
directly opposed to each other as
are the poles of the earth. The
only way the miner can get one
dollar with half dollars worth of
silver is for the metal to rise to
par. The moment that takes place
the dollar must also be at par.
They argue that it is dishonest to
coin dollar from silver which can
be bought for so cents. In this
they assume that the market price
of bullion excluded from the mint,
and consequently from use, is a
fair test of it's value with the mint
opened and a practically unlimited
demand for it, They constantly
invoke the law of Supply and de-
mand," but completely ignore it in
dealing with silver and gold. They
! tell us that the value of gold is
fixed and unchanging, in the face
of the fact that it will now ex-
@change for almost twice as much of
everything else as it would twenty
years ago, thus showing that they
do not even know what the word
"value" means. They prove that
the gold dollar is honest and that
its value never changes by point
ing to the fact that it is always
worth 100 cents in gold. The il
logical character of this argument
will appear at glance when we
consider that if all the gold in the
world were to be destroyed, except
ing one dollar, that one lonesome
dollar would still be worth just 100
cents in gold, but its value to its
fortunate possessor would be ines
timable. While stoutly insisting
that the low prices of which we
complain are owing to increased
production of commodities, they
not only fail to account for this in
crease beginning just as silver was
demonetized, but they fail to show
any increase at all greater than
that in former years.

PROrECTION no FARMERS

to protect agricultural staples by an
export bounty. He contends that
as a measure of equity in taxation
the producers of agricultural sta
pies are entitled to an export
bounty as long as protection to
manufacturers prevails. In re-
Spouse to a request of the American
Protective Tariff League for con-
tribution to further the work of the
league, Mr. Lubin placed in the
hands of the President of the Bank
of ID. O. Mills & Co., Sacramento,
$1,000. with instructions that the
same be paid over to the Protective
Tariff League, provided an impair
TALLY selected committee Of capable
men would decide, after a full hear
ing, that tariff on imports can
protect the agricultural staples as
long as the surplus is sold in the
open markets of the world. or that
a bounty on the exports of these
taples would not be just SO long as
there is a tariff on imports for the
protection of manufactures. The
American Protective Tariff League,
in response to Mr.. Lubin, an
nounced that the offer would be
submitted to its executive commit
tee, but has, so far as known to Mr..
Lubin, taken no further action.
On September 4, 1895, largely
attended Interstate Harvest Home
meeting was held at Marysville,
Missouri, and by resolution uani-
monsly adopted requested Hon.
William Mckinley Of Ohio to show:
First-How tariff on imports
can protect the home market of ag-
ricultural staples as long as there is
a surplus of those staples sold in
the open markets of the world.
Second-If a bounty on the ex-
ports Of these staples for their pro-
lection in the home market would
not be as just and equitable as the
tariff on imports for the protection
of manufactures.
Third-If it be true that the
tariff on imports protects the home
market for manufactures, but can
not protect the home market of
agricultural staples as long as there
is a surplus for export, does it not
follow, therefore, that the unpro-
tected industry must foot the cost
Of protecting the protected indus
try?
As correct answers to these ques
tons are of the highest Importance
to farmers, the industry they repre-
sent and the whole country, the
State Grange of Missouri earnestly
renews the request made of MIR.
Mckinley and respectfully urges
that the desired information be
transmitted by him at the earliest
possible date TO the secretary of the
State Grange.
If the position taken by Mr.. Lu-
bin is correct, the farmer, whose
surplus products must he sold, il
sold at all, III the open markets of
the world, must pay the cost of pro-
tecting the protected industries
For instance, the farmers of Truckee
Meadows and Of Lovelcck must sell
their surplus wheat at Liverpool
prices less the cost of Transports
ton, insurance, commission, etc.,
and derive no benefit whatever frem
tariff. On the contrary, they
have TO pay the increased price on
the protected articles which they
consume. If that be true, and it
certainly seems to be, the farmer is
injured by protective tariff, and
ought to be rAcnmnans,,d hv an ax-
