last tsaiIg he Saii vas I'm &c: eIence Is the
fact hat 9 farmer hnl ITO give twice as
I much wheat to pay his DAFT as he tiil be-
fore he DEM nc tia zion Sof liver. Whit
nils you? That Is the very hing II am
81 eaking about. Now, I was stating that
you can't rossibly find put the facts In ref
$erence to the farmer simply by taking one
article, AMI that the lowest one you. can
find: NoW,I will call your attention to a
confirmation of the figures which Il have
heretofore given. Those figures show that
prices for farm products, all taken tcg, ther.
You know, have not dc c!ined. Here in the
United States, comparing the present
values !. to those. twenty years ago,
ind my confirmation In an analysis of ma
tionals wealth by the great statistical au-
th0rity, Mr.. Mulhah, SO often quoted by
Mr.. Harvey. In the. June North American
Review. Mr.. zMulhall@says that the aver
age yearly accnmu n.fon Of the agricultural
workers, per capita, of the United States,
was for the. decade, 1861 to 1870, $17.0o
each. 80 = 4 r So
Mr.. Harvey-'.yNillyo you pardon me" q
Alr. HORDE bother me: For the de-
cade 1870 to 1880, $47.1O per capita and for
the decade 1881 to 1890, $3.50 per capita.
Here is an ability on the part Of the farm
ers OF this, country to save In the last CEN
sus decade nearly three times as great as
in the decade before the silver legislation
Of 1873" -. i, 49,. -, - r.
Mr.: Harvey-''Did not you have that writ
ten before you left New York? He says
we have Increased in wealth.. Nobody dis
putes that. The United States has not only
been Il workshop III producing wealth, but
itshas been a sweat shop (applause) It has
been producing wealth, but have the men
who produced that wealth got the wealth?
The rich men are controlling the legislation
of America and the old world, and there
is ITO plan by which European civilization
can rise from under 1t, and when we have
passed four or eight years further along
there will be no way for us to rise from UNI
der it.. We are making in the United States
to-day the last stand Of free men in the
civilization of the world =
The answering of questions occupied
much of the remainder of the day, the
debate finally being adjourned at MIR.
