TIGHT MONEY AND ITS EFFECTS

some Of the medicine that Is stimulat-

have 1 ever seen business as dull in this
county among the farmers and day la
borers as at the present time Farm
produce cannot find market anywhere
except at ruinously low prices. Pota-
toes, which form our staple product, 80
cents per bushel; cheese brings about
Z cents per pound; eggs, Il cents per
DOZEN butter, Ia ITO 10 cents per pound at

Money is as scarce as the proverbial

farmers say that II is almost impossible
TO get money enough 10 meet current
expenses, many being obliged to con-
tract debts to provide the necessaries
OF life for themselves and families. As
for men who depend upon their daily
labor for the support of themselves and
families, il Is almost impossible for
them TO obtain days work anywhere,
for the simple reason that men who
usually hire work done upon their
farms cannot find money TO pay their
help.
All this trouble can be traced TO the
working OF the German tariff law. We
never before experienced such a dearth
OF money or such stagnation in bust
ness. But the lesson, though tough
one, has had its effects. know of

that they win never vote for party

distress as the democratic party inaug-

great storm that will sweep this land
in November, 1896, and sweep from
power, and / hope forever, the free
trade business destroying democracy.
Until that time comes there can be no
hope of general prosperity to the peo-
