so that anybody can see that they are
neither abstract" nor Statistical" It
is not uncommon to see in your columns
bold and confident statements that are
wholly without support of either fact or
probability, but it is not often that you
are at pains to supply your own refutation
SO conveniently. The Tribune never saw
and cannot cite propositions on any sim
liar subject more definite, succirct and, to
rational mind Ineligible. They are
intended to serve as premises, to which
my statement to the Pioneer Press Of my
position on the question is logical and
necessary conclusion. If these PROPOSE
lions are true and that they are l will
naturally maintain and establish in pub
lie discussion anywhere, then that posi-
ton must be taken by every lover of his
country. If it is true that the mainten-
ance OF the gold standard inevitably in
wolves the horrors alleged, then unnec-
essarily to prolong and tighten it's grip
upon us is crime.
The proposal for piece-meal discussion
through your columns l will not entertain.
The force and continuity of argument,
are lacking in such a desultory engage
ment, and successive steps are seldom
followed by the same public. Moreover,
l have no intention of adopting a cam
paign which will so facilitate your pc
culiar system of fighting. If any discus
sion at all is had it must be one where a
fairly good survey of the whole field may
be taken at one time, and where the con-
verging and supporting forces can be all
marshaled against the central position.
Your bushwhacking methods would be al
together too congenially employed in
hanging, day after day, upon my separated
detachments, picking off stragglers, scat
tering misleading information, concocting
ruses, laying ambuscades, and celebrating
imaginary victories. No, thank you If
you decline a pitched battle it may be
necessary to make an armed occupation Of
your territory.

CHAMBERS ENCYCLOPEDIA.


We print upon another page of this
paper an advertisement Of Chambers
Encyclopedia. When the matter was
first brought to our attention it seemed
to us so impossible that thirty volumes
Of an Encyclopedia, as famous as Cham
bers' great work, containing over twelve
thousand pages, could be sold for $3.50
that we ordered a set sent to us at Hast
ings, expecting to find some sort of
fake" like the man who advertised a
fine steel engraving of George Washing
tom for $1.00, and when the dollar came,
sent postage stamp! We have three
encyclopedias in our library; one Of them
cost us 1920 and another something
more; and thirty volumes of Chambers
work at $3.50 seemed so improbable as
to be absurd. But to our great astonish-
ment along came the books, a great pile
OF them. We opened the package and
found the thirty volumes, each the size
of an ordinary novel, bound in paper,
the type small but clear, and the articles
covering the whole field of human
knowledge, and exhaustive in character.
Such a work at such a price is one of
the triumphs of modern civilization; and
we feel we are serving our friends by
introducing it into their houses. 1t
would not have been possible 100 years
ago to have published such work for
less than $4,000 per set; instead of $3.50;
but many new inventions have been used
to achieve such surprising result. No
royalty is paid; the copy is, we believe,
transferred to plates by some photo
graphic process; and this once made the
only cost then is the press work, (made
by great steam presses, running day and
night, and the paper. And yet it would
seem as if the mere paper in these 80
volumes would cost more than $3.50.
Send in your orders. The work is
library in ITSELF and wherever you have
family growing up they should have
the advantage of access to it, The man
who could read those thirty volumes
through and remember it all, would be
the most learned man in the United
States.

SILVER AND FARM PRODUCTS.

Now that the crusade tn commit the
National Democracy to free and I'm
limited coinage OF silver has been
started that old lunacy that silver
decentralization is the cause OF the
reduction OF farm products is being
brought TO the front again, which, OF
course, is untrue. Some of the most
important farm products have risen
in prlce at the same time silver has
been going down. For example: Corn,
which brought 49.Sc. per bushel in the
New York market in 1879, command
ed so. SC. IN 1894, the price mentioned
being the average for the years
named for oats the average of the
earlier year was 31.lc., and Of the lat
ter 37.2c. The same lard which sold
for 6.6c. in 1879 brought 7.75c. in 1894.
and the pork which in 1878 was sold
for $9.SS vas in 1894 up at the $l.l3
marks. These are figures presented
in the statistical abstract, which is
prepared by the bureau Of statistics
at Washington. The year 1879 is Sc
lected here for comparison because
that was the year in which specie
payments were resumed by the treas
ury.
During the time in which silver has
been rapidly declining, for the average
price was SLIP in 1879 and only about
CSC. in l%S9i-corn, oats lard and pork
have advanced. Consequently, if the
decline in silver sent wheat and cot
ton down it must have sent corn, oats,
pork and lard up. The selection be-
tween silver and both sets of farmers
products must be the same, II there
he any relation at all. II silver de.
characterization is responsible for the
changes in the prices Of agricultural
products it must operate in opposite
directions at the same time. If it
does, then it has not been IL very bad
thing for the farmer, for all he has
lost on wheat and cotton he has made
upon the immensely more important
product, corn, and the advance in
pork, S,rd and oats puts IA nice bal.
'''ce OH &c right side Of the profit
and loss accoumi
The truth is, Of course, tn, 20 sailed
silver decentralization has had nothing
TO do with the changes in the prices
Of these products. 1t did not send
cotton and wheat down or corn up.
The fluctuations In supply and de-
| mand on each article are the chief
causes Of the change in prices. Wheat,
corn, pork and the rest Of the com
mOdities rise and fall without any
regard for the condition Of the silver
market, A glance at any table Of
prices Of leading articles Of necessity
for a series OF years will show that the
prices of nOtwo of them cver bear the
same ratio TO each other,o or to silver for
two years in succession. Wheat, for
example, was higher in 1891 than in
1890, but the reverse was true Of silver.
The cheapening of the processes of
production and transportation has
been n of the causes of the reduc-
ton of prices of commodities in the
past dozen or score of years, and the
increase Of production without a cor
responding increase Of demand has
done the rest.
We hope and believe that the silver
craze, like that of the greenback and
sub-treasury agitation, is doomed to
an early grave.
