hold up silver coin that the laws OF

the law is a lie; that the coin is not q

NOT QUITE 20 YEARS OLD.

A correspondent wants to know how

condition Of his health. He says It is
being circulated In his part Of the
State that the Senator Is past 70 years
Of sge-too old to be longer good ma.

besides that, he is in poor health, and

Senator PETER was 65 years of age on

was born September 10, 1881. AS to

commission and advocated It's passage.
Senator PETER followed Plumb's lead
and urged the passage Of the Plumb
bill, but no attention was paid these
attempts to eliminate the tariff ques-
tlon from party politics.
To get the money question out Of
party hands and make the business Of
preparing and issuing money q purely
government function, has been the
constant aim of Senator PETER ever
since his election, but it was not till
last July that any party except the
Populist took any such advanced
ground.
And now, to take these questions
out Of politics would be equivalent to
taking the life Of the Republican party.

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST FARMERy.

10 nearly all lines Of manufacture
and mining there are associations,
unions and trustS, that are formed for
the sole purpose Of regulating prices.
A dozen or q hundred different COM
panies or firms engaged In the same
business, finding their competition ex.
TeHslVe, enter into an agreement that
some Of the frms will close indefinitely,
leaving the rest to do all the business,
the net profits to be equttably divided
among them all, In this way they
regulate prices.
Since the election these trusts have
been raising prices, not because of
scarcity nor because Of unusual de.
mand, but because q sudden squirt in
trade has temporarily increased the
number of buyers, and the trusts, hsV.
ing abolished competition, avail them.
selves Of q power they have created for
just such use, The New York Tribune,
some days ago, had adViCes that at
their meeting last week the tin plate
manufacturers decided to advance
prices Is to 25 cents q box" and to re-
new the "gentlemen's agreement"
mace last spring. Il appears, further,
that 1.-THE figures as agreed on are but
9 fraction below the price ct which
foreign tin plate can be imported"
Farmers, by reason Of their isolated
life, cannot successfully enter into
these trust agreements, and they are,
therefore, at the mercy Of men who
can. In this tin plate case, the price
10 fixed just low enough to undersell
the foreign manufacturer, and the
consumers Of tin plate are hopelessly
subjugated to this rise In price because
they cannot help themselves. The
number Of trusts is estimated Rt con-
siderably more than one hundred, and
all have the same power 70 regulate

But the farmers have not thus far

srcise Of power. They are continually
subjected to foreign competition. The
price Of al the products they sell Is
fixed by the foreign price of their sur.
plus sold In the worlds market where
they are put In competition with like
articles produced by cheap labor. And
this keeps farmers at q disadvantage
all the time. It Is Q discrimination
against them. They have no means of
regulating prices. When they pro-
posed q plan for government aid in
diapoSIng Of their crops, they were
laughed at. And now, when they ask
equal protection Of the laws, they are
denounced as socialists and repudi-
RtOrs.

WHEN the nail trust was formed, 40
we are reminded BY the New York
World, wire nails were selling at 80
cents q keg, and their makers were
reaping q good profit. Cut nails were
selling OF 10 cents, also with sstlsfac.
tory profit to the makers. The trust
put up the price of wire nails, worth 30
cents q keg, to SS So q keg, and that Of
cut nails, worth 70 cents, to 92S5 Q

TIE EAST AND TIE WEST.

A great deal Of useless talk Is going
on nowadays about the East and West,
and most Of It is being done by persons
who either do not understand or In.

the people sbout whom they are 90

We all understand that the appliCs.
tlOn Of these terms In present discus
BlOns is to be made with q political aud
partisan slgniAcation, and 1t relates to
the East ss a money lending section,
and to the West as q money-borrowlng
section. The misr representation con-
sists In asserting that on the one hand
Eastern people doubt the honesty of
their Western neighborS, and on the
other hand, that Western people do
not want to pay their debts.
The truth iS, that lenders are quite
az deSlrous to lend as they ever were
and sSk only what they have always
demsnded--nsmely, security that is
satisfactory to them; and borrowers
are no more dishonest now than they
were when the subject Of reputation
was not anywhere discussed.
What seems to be q Western feeling
against the East is not born Of jeal.
Ou0y or Of any disposition to deprive
lenders and investors Of any legitimate
profit on their capital; 1t comes from
the attacks Of newspapers and pOlitl-
clans, representing Eastern capitalists,
on the people Of the West generally,
branding them as dishonest and dis.
loyal, repudistors and anarchists, when
they are doing no more than do mer.
chants and other business men who
want to save what they can out Of the
wrecks Of their business.
Railroad companies, manufacturing
establishments and other great con-
Germs, when they find themselves IL

with their creditors. The people who
own and control these great institu-
