would go to our government and thus
indirectly be benefit to the whole

How Free coiaase Would Ip,urs ths
Farmers
The chief strength Of the le 70 i AMI.
tation lies in the belief that It would
benefit the agricultural classes. This isa
serious error. The facts Of all human
experience show ccnclrsiveiy that free
silver would cause widespread and pro.
lcnged injury to che farmers Of this
country.
The mere threat Of free coinage would
greatly injure 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 be 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 80 long as there was
any danger that by change in 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 aud dearer can be figured
out by each farmer for himself.
A second way in which free coinage
would hurt agriculture wonld be by the
financial panic which would inevitably
follow tho 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 q 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 1893, and millions Of
workers would be idle. Men out Of en-.
ployment do not buy us much farm
products as when they are at work, and
the farmers who now complain of the
lack Of markets for their produce would
find themselver with a large part Of
their crops pnsold. Would not this he q
serious injury to agriculture?
Another evil which free coinage
would bring 10 American farmers would
be the unsettleir ut of their trade reln-
ton with the s. ut gold standard cori-
mercial nations, which purchase each
year $500. 0O0, 600 worth Of our snrpIus
farm products The adoption Of the sill.
ver standard. with its constantly tluc,r-
ating scale Of prices, would provo the
same barrier TO commerce between this
and other countries that it has to trade
between gold standard Europe and In
din. CHM and Japan Do the farmers
want to crrtail and unsettle our foreign
trade:
These ARE some of the ways in which
free coinage at i6 to would hurt the

senting q certain number of cats and
onions at q ratio Of 10 to l.. This was a
true double standard system and is be-
lieyed to have been the origin Of modern
paper currency. For time the cat
onion money circulated at par, but tho
historian Faque Hur records that about
96S B. G. serious difficulty arose.
New colonies had been established in
the region Of the upper Nile, and the
savage Nubians had been taught the
ant OF agriculture. The rich, black soil
OF the valley which they inhabited was
especially suited to the growth Of
onions, and the production Of those per.
tuned bulbs was soon enormously in.
creased. Meanwhile the cut crop had
only grown in the usual ratio, and thei
result was that, with the demand for
sacred animals in the new colonies, at
least 30 onions would be given for one
cat. This brough TIE papyrus currency
into disfavor. and the ruling pharaoh,
Ram Bunkshus III, issued royal order
that cats should be the sole standard of
value, and that onions should be issued
only to the extent that they could be
kept at par with the 'caterwaulers, +" Us
the unit Of value was termed.
This did not suit the onion growers

of the catbugs should be repealed and

Bunkshus listened to them patiently and
answered: Great, no doubt, was the
wisdom of our ancestors. But / am in
the wisdom business myself to some ex

adopted, that was the true ratio Of tho
