Rocky Ford enterprise., 1896-02-27

The duty OF our farmers in the beet
sugar matter is very clear. There must
be exceptional circumstances to excuse
any from planting the experimental plat.
In the first place the experiment is not
only made without expense, but with
actual profit. Every farmer who has any
stock can make profitable use OF ono
acre OF sugar beets. Their value 70, feed
has been so fully proved that every farm.
er should have IN acre for bis own usc,
When We consider that il 200 farmera
will each plant one acre Of bee.s, that
the experiment will most probably result
in beet sugar factory at Rocky Ford,
tho Importance of the planting becomes
evident. Such factory will not only
scatter large sums OF money among the
farmers, but will add to tho value of ey-
cry acre OF land within radius Of ton
miles around Rocky Ford. If our farm
ors will fully appreciate the great results
that hinge on their trying sugar beets
this year, we shall have a universal trial
OF this crop, and the result promises TO
be the establishment of IN industry
which shall make the Arkansas valley
the most prosperous section Of Colorado.

ITS OWN CREATION.

With labored words and poll
derous sentences, that breatlles
out a vague feeling of exulta-
ton, the Times proceeds to show
that free silver would not bring
the American people bown to the
moral and intellectual level of
the Mexicans and Orientels. It
is a convincing editorial and
may be considered a knock out
for the free silver side. The
Times as free silvers, doughty
champion is entitled to a medal
of straw, for its victim was a straw
man of its own manufacture.
Has any opponent of deprecated
money ever claimed that an un-
fortunate change in our monitary
system would have a serious effect
on the morals or intelligence of
our people? The Times chooses
and easy task in disproving a
proposition that no one ever be-
lieved or advanced.
To say that the adoption of
free silver at the, present ratio
would sink us to the commercial
level of Mexico and Japan is
quite another matter and when
people thus argue they speak
from the dictation of common
sense. Business is done on a
money basis and if we drop down
to the monetary basis of those
countries, our business will follow
suit, and there will be a crash
when we fall.
The free silver remedy has
plenty to do if it answers the
grave charges that are really ad-
vanced against it, without de-
Tending itself from attacks that
exist only in the Imagination of
its champions.
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1896-08-20

If tits possible. as the Times
asserts, for our government tc
raise the price of commodities
by legislation. why should this
power be exercised only for the
benefit of silver. Our farmers
certainly need the benefit of this
extraordinary law-making for
their products. They produce
real wealth but are forced to sell
their grain below the cost of pro-
duction. In truth the govern
ment cannot arti6cially raise the
market price of any co1nrndity
unless it taxes someone for
the means. IF the profits of
the silver mine owners are to be
doubled the farmers may be as
sured that it will be at their ex-
pense. What thu government
gives away, it must take from the
people, and farmers are usually
tsthe people," when it comes to
taxation.

Down in Mexico if you buy half
a dollars worth of goods and ten
der a United States standard dol
lar. in payment you will receive
back in change a Mexican dollar
containing six grains more silver
than the dollar yen nave just paid.
That is because the United St,tes
dollar can be exchanged Tor 100
cents in gold and the Mexican dol
lar cannot. Is there any good rea-
son to believe that the same thing
would not happen in this country
if we were to adopt the Mexican
coinage system Telegram.

Localized CONTRIBUTING.

The counterfeiter is dangerous.
His is the most despicable kind
of theft. He is the secret bust
ness enemy of the common peo-
pie. The government at great
expense maintains corps of men
to ferret out and bring to justice
those who counterfeit the coin of
the land. The counterfeiter
strikes at the life blood of COM
merce. and he is accounted the
most dangerous of criminals.
In counterfeiting silver coins,
the coiners now use the same
amount of silver as is in the legal
dollar-about s. cents-and their
only difficulty is in initiating the
mechanical appearance. They
thus makea profit, not consider
ing labor and tools, of about no
per cent on their bullion invest
1nent, and unmolested would soon
grow wealthy at the expense of
the general public.
The government, however,
pursues such enterprise with un-
relenting vigor. 1t traces out the
source of the spurious coin, al
though it is intrinsical1y worth
as much as the government dollar,
destroys the tools and sends the
counterfeiters to prison for long
terms. These criminals have no
syrnpathisers among honorable
men. Where is the honest man
that upholds their crime, or de-
nounces the severely of the gov
ernment? The government is
protecting its citizens, and main
tanning confidence in the money
bearing its stamp. Farmers and
working men do not applaud,
nor advocate counterfeiting be-
cause bankers are especially inter
ested in fighting it.. They need
protection even more than the
bankers for they are not expert
in detecting the false money as
are those who handle large sums
daily. Counterfeiting is a crime
against everybody.
Would not the man who bold
1y proclaimed counterfeiting to
be virtue, and advocated the re-
peal of the laws forbidding it, be
looked upon as public enemy :?
Suppose that he ran for the pres
idency of our nation upon the
sole issue s'counterfeiting must
be legalized." Could eloquence
rally respectable following to his
support? Would farmers vote
for him, thinking that in injur-
ing the bankers they would bene-
fit themselves? The supposition
seems too 1nonstrous for even i'm
agination.
And yet is there any real differ
ence between that issue and the
policy that the voter of America
are now asked to endorse? Mr..
Bryan goes further than our sup
posed candidate. The latter
would simply allow private par
ties to coin So cents into what
would purport to be a dollar of
United States money, unmolest-
ed by law. Mr.. Bryan would
give this privilege and have the
government pay the expense of
coming. Can youthful eloquence
win the American people to sup
port such a proposition? They
are in a desperate financial con-
dition and anxious for relief, but
surely when they seriously re-
fleet, they will never attempt to
regain prosperity by voting to
1eoaIize counterfeitino.
