8S1. In 1879 and 1880 the average
export price of wheat was SI.z4 per
bushel, not in deprecated paper money
either, while in 1892 and 1893 it was
Soc. The price in 1S7o-So was during
the coinage of silver under the Bland
Allison act, the price of 1923 under
the Sherman act, when silver coinage
was practically suspended, and the fore
es under Cleveland and gold standard
republicans were actively at work to
repeal the purchasing clause of the act
of 1890 to discontinue any further use
of the white metal.
Now, Mr.. Farmer. let me ask of you
if Mr.. Stewards statement is true, that
is, was the last year of republican rule
the best for you during the past thirty
years? If 62 40 cents per bushel for
wheat in 1892 was better than STA in
1870, will some farmer please state in
what way he is benefited by this de-
crease in the price of his product? Mr..
Stewards proceeds on the theory that
whenever the republicans were in power
farmers got better price for wheat,
which is false, for under Cleveland's
first term the average price of wheat
was CSC per bushel and under Harrison
it was 644c. True, since that time
wheat has declined materially, and so
has silver. But the sage of H omestead
says the price of silver has nothing to
do with the price of wheat. Well, let
US see as to that: The following table,
taken from "The Coinage Laws of the
United States, page IA, demonstrates
beyond the question of doubt that the
price of silver determines the price of
wheat the world over, and it is in line
with economic writer's everywhere, not
one of whom admits that the ounce of
silver has practically been exchangeable
for bushel of wheat in England for at
least a century past. This table tells
its own story, and is commended to Mr..
Stewards or any other gold STANDARD adj
vocate who believes in the cows tail
richness of milk argument:
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1896-06-04

A casual glance at this table will con-
vince the most skeptical that Mr..
Sowards' argument has no force what
ever. But let US present the truth of
the statement that silver and wheat go
hand in hand in price everywhere.
Edward Suess, the Austrian fnancier,
said in regard to the Sherman law of
1890:
1.-THE constant silver purchases by
the American treasury determine the
level of prices for silver all over the
world. They influence the price of
wheat in India, of silk in China, of the
sugar that leaves Hawaii If these
purchases were discontinued, the price
of silver would fall, not only in Amer
lea, but all over the earth; likewise we
should see fall in the price of COM
modities above named"
Mr.. J. Barr Robertson truthfully
says
when the relative positions of the
Indian and English growers of wheat
are compared, though they both sell at
the same relative price in London, the
Indian has an immense advantage in
one thing; he has currency in his own
country Qndia) rather appreciated in
the last quarter of century, but still
that yields him now, in silver 81 per
cent. more of his money than the Eng
lish grower is getting in gold. He
does not sell at very low price in his
own money, as we see he was getting
81 rupees IN January. 1892, against 100
rupees twenty years ago. If the
English grower could have got 81 at
the beginning of 1892 and been on the
same footing as to present and past re-
turns as the man from India, 1t is per.
fectly certain we should not have heard
anything of the suffering he now en-
dures. But where the English wheat
grower has been SO grievously injured is
that. while the prices of wheat have fail.
len to such low point in twenty FIVE
years, his rent, fixed charges, and other
expenses have not fallen in a cores
ponding ratio, or, rather, they did not
fall as the price of wheat fell
Now, farmer, could anything better
describe the condition of the American
wheat grower than the above? 1t is
certainly prophetic.

Secretary of Agriculture, in his report
for 1890 said:

of Thomas Harper, at this meeting of

The procession marched to the GENE

were held in the park, were also listen

At a meeting of the Commercial
Club, Friday evening last, it was de-
cided that inasmuch as ElIinwood was
making grand preparations for 4th of
July celebration, Great Bend should
this year show neighborly feeling by
not getting up rival attraction a
committee composed of Will FEEDER,
Geo. Moss and Ernest Bolinger was ap-
pointed to look after putting perma-
nent seats in the park. The Club will
put in to 10 substantial seats, if the
city will provide a fountain. The
Water Company it is understood will
furnish water for a park fountain free
of cost.
