This brings us to e, which is tho

be lumber or shingles; it may be saw

WOULD Irgar INSTEAD OF HELP.
How FREQ Coinage Would Injure the
Farmers.


Farmers.
The chief strength Of the l6 TO agi-
tation lies in the belief that 1T would
benefit the agricultural classes. This is
serious error. The facts of all human
experience show conclusively that free
silver would cause widespread and pro-
longed injury TO the farmers OF this
country.
The mere threat of free coinage would
greatly iniure the farmers by causing
an immediate calling in OF all loans
through the natural desire OF lenders TO
get back money worth as much as they
lent. Hundreds of thousands OF farmers
would he unable TO pay their mort
cages, and their farms would be sold at
a sacrifice. No new loans would be
forthcoming, as the owners Of capital
would not invest so long as there was
any danger that by change III the
money standard the value OF loans
would be cut in two. As the chief COM
plant of the farmers now is that inter-
est is too high and capital too scarce,
the effect of policy which would make
capital scarcer and dearer can be figured
out by each farmer for himself.
A second way in which free coinage
would hurt agriculture would be by the
financial panic which would inevitably
follow the overthrow of our present
sound financial system and the adoption
of the unstable cheap silver standard.
With the millions of bank depositors
| demanding their savings the machinery
| of credits, by which so large a part OF
| the country's business is done, would be
| suddenly stopped. Merchants would be
| unable to buy goods for lack of credit
| manufacturing industries would be clos
| ed down, as in 1898, and millions Of
workers would be idle. Men out of en-
ployment do not buy as much farm
products as when they are at work, anc
the farmers who now complain OF the
lack of markets for their produce would
find themselves with a large part o.
their crops unsold. Would not this be
serious injury to agriculture?
Another evil which free coinag
would bring TO American farmers woul'
be the unsettlement of their trade rela
ton with the great gold standard com
mercial nations, which purchase eac
year 5000, 900, 900 worth of our surplu
farm products. The adoption of the 81
yer standard, with its constantly fiuctr
ating scale of prices, would prove tn
same barrier to commerce between tn
and other countries that it has to trad
between gold standard Europe and Ii
! dia, China and Japan. Do the farmer
, want to curtail and unsettle our foreie
trade?
i These are some of the ways i'll whiC
free coinage at 10 to would hurt Il
farmers? No advocate Of 90 cent dolla
has ever been able to show a single W;
in which it would help them.

The heavy wind OF last night blew
down a portion OF the canvas covering
OF the "merry-go-round," knocking down
one of the gasoline lamps, which set fire
to and completely destroyed the canvas
and damaged the organ, entailing a loss
on the proprietor Of about 5000. 1t
looked for few moments as il the whole
machine would go up in smoke, as the
gasoline scattered in all directions and
the wind was blowing a perfect gale, but,
everything being wet from the heavy
shower in the afternoon, the fire was
soon extinguished. The affair Is being
dismantled today and will be shipped to
