There are some 320,000,000 people on a
gold standard. Others are putting On
the yoke and all are struggling for
gold. Every year they are content to
give up a little more of their commo-

Four Financial Axioms.
From a reading of great political
economists, ancient and modern, he
mad formed four aXioms. Double the
money and you divide the debt Divide
the money and you double the debt.
Double the money and you double the
vide the prices
According to Secretary Carlisle the
farmer is better off than he was in
1913. The low prices are not due to
increased production. More wheat was
produced in 1873 than in 1895, by 49,
OOO.OOO More cotton was produced in
1885 than in 1895 Yet in these things
prices are getting lower all the while
why, then, does Carlisle say that
wheat will buy as much now as in
1913! He knows that statement will
not bear investigation. 1t is not over
production that is the matter.
NO. 1t is the under consumption.
Overproduction of wheat and more
people starving to death than ever be-
fore. Qverproduction of coal and more
people freezing to death. Overproduc-
ton of wool and more people shivering
for lack of clothes. No, it is the with
drawal of the peoples money.
Give us stability of values. With
these present conditions the man can
make more by burying his talent in
a napkin than the man can by putting
his talents to use. Who will do bust
ness on falling basis. Matthew Mar
shall, of the New York Sun, says the
wages are lower in China and Japan
than they are here, and yet food is as
nigh. This is strong comfort for d suf-
fering people.

could listen to such notification of his
principles" Jackson said there are no
necessary evils of government. Yet we
are now told these conditions are a
necessary evil. The American people
deny this and say they intend 10 try
and cure the evil. We are threatened
with panic. There never was a panic
with rising prices. They admit prices
would rise. The president says We
would have a 50-cent dollar. As a man
w
would have wheat at a dollar right /
away" Some farmers could try and
exist under this. The farmer here is
trying to compete against a man who |
gets 100 per cent. bounty. The Ameri- /
can farmer gets the same IS the Hin
doc for his cotton and wheat. Only in |
India the payment is worth double |
what it is in the United States.
