How the Farmers Are Being Deluded by
 So Called Farm Papera.n

How the Farmers Are Being DeIuded by
 So Called Farm Papers"
 There was time not long ago when the hundreds of farm journals published throughout the country were devoted to matters connected with grain growing stock raising, cotton planting, sheen breeding, hog fattening, poultry keep ing and similar branches of our great agricultural industries. But since the free silver ovaze has been pushed to the front by the glib tongued prophets of prosperity through cheap and trashy currency, many of these journals have become the organs of the men who farm the farmers for political purposes, and are filled with the cunning fallacies and misrepresentations of the 16 to schem- CTS
 Prominent among the papers, which ienorantly or intentionally are doing the work of the silver bullionaires of the Rocky mountains, is Farm, Field and Preside of Chicago. That journal, in a recent issue, devotes nearly five pages to the silver question, and tries to persuade its farmer readers that free coinage will make them richer. How 1t will do this the editor does not explain. He simply says it will, and expects his readers to swallow what he tells them
 The reliability of the statements of this particular paper can be judged from it's assertion that the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 would not mean silver monometallisn, but would give us bi- metallic standard. The claim of the sound money advocates that free coin age would put the country on silver basis is characterized as "a lie and an insult to the intelligence of every pro dueer ill the land. ,
 Let us see. Instead of wasting time ill disputes over what may be the result of free coinage of silver, it is only nec- essary to look at all the countries which now have that system ill full operation. What do we find? Simply this, that ev- cry country in the world which has free and unlimited coinage of silver at fixed ratio, such as Farm, Field and Preside wants for the United States, is on silver basis, and has no gold i'll circulation This is one great fact against which yards of cheap money editorials or gales of 16 to oratory can make no impression. No free silver country in the wo1ld, though some of them have four times as many people as there are in the United States, IS able to maintain bimetallic standard. Sill yer, and silver alone, is the standard of value and basis for currency. This is net goldbug theory or money shark teaching. It is pure. unadulterated truth.
 Farm Field and Preside says that 'sSilyer monometallism would be almost as bad as gold monometallism. " It would be q great deal worse, but it Is important to note that while pretending to condemn the policy which must in- exitably lead to the silver basis, that paper admits the unpopularity of silver monometal1isla. It's farmer readers should insist on being told why the re- suits of free coinage would not be the same in this country as in all the other nations ef the earth which have tried it.

Pauperism and Silver Basis.

Silver only passes because the govern ment is behind it with gold. There is demagogy in the appeal being made in behalf of silver. This is proved by silver being called the poor mans money. No money is too good to pay the laborer with. China, the South American coun- tries and, ill fact, all the pauperized countries in the world are on q silver oasis. --Galesburg Mail.

Has Had Experience.

Free silver would not give the coun- try more money-on the contrary, it would reduce the volume of currency. It would not improve the condition of the poor man; it would benefit the sii- yer mine owner and the speculator. The south should be the last to join in the crusade for cheap money. It knows what cheap money means. It has tried it.-Charleston News and Courier.

4 sonna Money Ponnlist.

It Is probable that there is no more ardent supporter of the sound money cause iii Minneapolis than O. B. Maben, one of the leaders of the Populist cause. "I believe thoroughly ill sound money " said Mir Maben yesterday I want tG see the Populist party take the right kind of position on this currency ques- tion, and I view with considerable alarm the attitude that some of the leaders have already taken l can for the life of me see how silver coinage would help the people of Minnesota. Silver legisla- tion is class legislation pure and simple, and all the remainder of the states not producing silver will have to pay for granting the privileges that Populists propose to the silver states There is more sound money sentiment ill the party than is generally supposed. When the national convention is held it will develop that great many of the con- servative leaders will oppose taking an outspoken stand in favor of the white metal The silver men say they will carry everything in Minnesota. They will probably have great deal of strength, but it will not last long. This silver talk is an iridescent dream of a few theorists If the Populist party sac rifices everything to it and makes the silver plank the dominant issue i'll the present campaign, am afraid for its future.
