If 50-cent silver dollars should double
the prices of farm products, it is quite
as certain that the prices of all the
products which the farmer consumes
would double in the same way. In that
case it is not easy to see how the farm
er would gain anything by the free
coinage of silver. Even the wages of
labor, the last to rise in an epoch of de-
preciated currency and inflated prices,
would finally, after much distress of
the workingmen, struggle up to the
common level.
But whether the farmer should re-
ceive 500 for 100 bushels of wheat and
pay out 500 for the necessaries of living
or should receive 5000 for the same
wheat and pay out $3.50, in both cases
the balance on hand would have just
the same purchasing power. But in ac-
complishing the degradation of the
monetary standard, which could do
neither the farmer nor the wage-earner
any good, an enormous depreciation of
values. and confiscation of accumulated
earnings, involving public and private
credit in n maelstrom of destruction,
would inevitably ensue. Are the farm
ers and workingmen of the country
willing to invoke such catastrophe?

He was away all day, and came into the

the daily bulletin issued by the physi-

Big newspapers make big mistakes

Gen. Boynton acknowledged that he

every occasion the correspondents will
try to belittle an exclusive item, or pre-
tend that they know all about It. But
nobody ever tried to whistle down the
wind the great achievement of Herbert
Preston. There were other newspaper
feats performed by Preston, but that
was the most notable. He printed for
eign treaty affairs and other items of
exclusive news in the Herald, and made
for himself valuable reputation, while
at the same time he made for the Her

A careful examination of these fig
ures will doubtless be surprising to
many farmers who have been loaded up
with the democratic idea of the impor-
tance of the foreign market, wherein

Kinlcy truly said to the Knox county

The only way to help the farmer is to in
This can be done by preserving home r1ar-

which we did in 1924, under the reci-
procity provisions of the tariff law of 1896
TGreat cheering The best consumers for
the American farmer are those at home.
They consume IS times as much of the prod
ucts of the American farm as the foreign
consumer. Their earning power has been
cut off In the past two years so that 1t
makes our home market less desira BILE.

When farmers recollect that there was
decrease from 5.91 bushels in 1892
down to asa bushels in 1895 in the an
nual consumption per capita of our
population of American wheat in the
home market, and a decrease of 13 1-3
bushels in the per capita consumption
of our corn within the same period,
they will begin to realize the truth of
Mr.. McKinley's statement that "pros-
perity of manufactures is inseparable

Not Antagonistic to Agriculture.

One of the great lessons of history
is that agriculture cannot rise to it's
highest perfection and reach its fullest
development without the aid of com.
merce, manufactures and mechanical
arts. All are essential to the healthy
growth and highest advancement of
the others; the progress of one Ill.
sures the prosperity of another. There
are no conflicts, there should be no an
tagonisms. They are Indispensable t.
each other. Whatever enfeebles on

From ''CI0pp's UeekIy Circular
The Principles of Protection.

A protective tariff is based upon
principles and conditions. The prin-
ciples underlying the protective tariff
system are Interchangeable and unchang-
ing; conditions change and tariff rates
change to meet the changing condi-
tions. Therefore no one, not even
Maj. Mckinley himself, can believe in
the reenactment, word for word and
letter for letter, of the Mckinley bill.
But every protectionists believes in the
principles underlying the Mckinley bill
and believes in the enactment of a tariff
law which shall be in accordance with
those principles and which shall con-
tain only such changes as are necessary
by reason of changed conditions CT be-
cause of more perfect knowledge of such
conditions as they exist to-day.

Restore the Zero Freezing Point.

In the haste in which the democrats
at Chicago prepared their platform
they forgot to include the plank de-
claring in favor OF restoring the nat
ural freezing point of zero. Mankind
has suffered and shivered tremendously
because of this inhuman standard of
temperature, adopted undoubtedly at
the instigation OF coal barons and quaclS

proceed to lower the freezing point and
to reform our climate in the interests of

INeERsoLL ON MONEY.
The Colonel States Some Plain Truths In
His own Unique Way.

The Colonel States Some Plain Truths In
His Own Unique Way.
Following is an extract from the
speech of Col. Robert g. Ingersoll at
Chicago on October s:
Money THAT is money needs no guar
antee, needs no hacker; it is always
good. No matter how many nations go
down to dust, good money remains for
ever the same. We have q man running
for the presidency on three platforms,
with two vice presidents, that says
money is creature of law. If the
government can make money by law,
why should the government collect
taxes? According to Mr.. Bryan, our
fathers were the friends of silver, and
yet our dear old fathers in all their
lives minted only 100000 of these sa-
cred dollars. Now, see what the enc
mics of silver have done. Since 1873
the enemies of silver have coined over
430,0O0,0O0 of these dollars, and yet
silver kept going down. We are coin
ing now over $2,O0O,OO0 a month, and
silver keeps going down.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, in 1873,
voted for the law of 1878. He said.
from his speech in the senate, that God
had made gold the standard. He said
that gold was the mother of civiliza-
ton. Whether he has heard from God
since or not do not know. But now he
is on the other side. Senator Stewart, of
Nevada, was there at the time, but voted
for the act of 1873, and said that gold
was the only standard. He has changed
his mind. No government cam afford to
be clipper on coins.
A great republic cannot afford to
stamp lie on silver or gold or paper.
Honest money for an honest people, is
sued by an honest nation. You cannot
make paper dollar without taking n
dollars worth of paper. We must have
paper that represents money. Iwant it
issued by the government, and 1 want
behind every one of these paper dollars
either a dollar in gold or q silver
dollar worth 100 cents, so that every
greenback under the flag can lift up it's
hands and swear: II know that my re-
deemer liveth" That was where / was
90 years ago, and that is where am to-
night
For nations and individuals, at all
times, everywhere and forever, honesty
is the best policy. Better be an honest
bankrupt than rich thief. Poverty can
hold in it's hand the jewel honor-a
| jewel that outshines all other gems. A
thousand times better be poor and noble
than rich and fraudulent. Nobody can
be helped by free coinage except the few
people who could pay their debts if they
were willing. Some say that it would
help the mine owners. 1t would not.
Coming this bullion into dollars would
not increase it's value, because you could
coin the bullion of the whole world and
the supply would be greater than the
demand. Have free coinage tomorrow,
and there is not a silver mine owner
that would make dollar-not one-by
changing it into American coin. 1t
would be worth only what the bullion
is worth in the open market.
We want good money-good, honest
money. And there was never any real
prosperity for a nation or an individual
without honesty, without integrity, and
it is our duty to preserve the reputation
of the great republic.

Bryan must demodify his farm prod
net speeches or he will have to face
such hard questions as: what about
wheat and cotton? Are their prices go
ing up in sympathy with silver or be-
cause of shortage of foreign crops?
What connection is there, anyway, be-
tween the prices of farm products and
of silver?"
OF course Bryan can answer all such
questions. In fact they are dead easy"
for Il powerful man who can lift the
price of all the silver in the world to
twice it's present height, but it is just
as well to avoid all unnecessary embar-
raSsment.
