What the farmers of this coun-

silver at 16 to 1, but free coinage
of butter, eggs, hogs, poultry,
beef, etc., at a ratio of so to Of

such free coinage would put them
out of the way of bonds, mortga-
ges, usury, and all other finan-
cial trouble. All they need is a
cash market. Will the business
men of Park Rapids furnish it?
Hubbard Co. Enterprise,
Here is old party wisdom for
you farmers. Suppose you all
raised so times the present
amount Of butter, eggs, poultry,
hogs beef, etc., how much cash
would you get for it? You see
this old party crack editor is care
full not to say how much you
should have for it, only you
should have cash for it! Why
doesn't this philosopher refer to
the large crop of potatoes you
raised last year on the advice of
politicians, as an illus tration how
big crops and no prices helpfarm-
ers out of the way-in the way
We suppose he meant-of bonds,
mortgages, usury and all other
financial troubles? Such impu-
dence as contained in the above
language almost staggers com
prehension. An editor in an
agricultural region proposes that
the farmer shall work his nails
off to produce fifty times what he
does now, when the farmer is
even now selling his products for
half price for severproduction
Yes, indeed: Here we have a fine
sample of that mental calibre
that is preaching gold-bug doc.
trine to the western farmer.

and has unlimited resources.
r Therefore it has now inagura-
ted the move of starting rival
newspapers in every little town
where the existing paper cannot
be controlled in it's interest. Peo-
pie have wondered at the idea of
establishing rival newspapers in
towns where one newspaper can
hardly live. It is now all plain.
The sound money propaganda
furnishes the stuff, not only for
the plant, but for running expen-
penses and editorial brain as well.
Not since the slave power
sought to control public opinion
by fair means or foul has such
extraordinary effort been made
to sway public sentiment in this
nation. Whether it can ultimate
ly succeed remains to be seen.

''Rhode Island, another one of
these same New England states,
is perhaps the barren patch of
the continent. 1t is not as large
as the two smallest counties of
Arkansas. It has less than one
third as many people as Arkan-
sas, yet this little patch of sand
and stone and salt water grew in
wealth during the last decade
Sal 100000 more than the four
great states Of Illinois, Indiana,
South Carolina and Mississippi
all com bined. These four states
are 1855 times as large and have 81
times as many people as Rhode

honest, just as industrious peo-
pie, all toiling just as eagerly to
make wealth
"Mr. Cleveland, will you please
pause enough from pushing your
schemes to inquire why this as
tonishing change in the two de-
cades?
Il had INDUCED with many
others the belief that the New
England tariff was the chief fac
tor in this congestion of our ma
tional wealth, but. recently pub
lished statistics, gathered since
the passage of the Wilson tariff
bill, forbid the conclusion. For
they show a still more startling
condition of the disease
I'm the single year, from 1898

times as much as all the destinc-

THE SOUND MONEY CAM
PAIGN AND THE COUN-
TRY PRESS.

The only bu]wark of any con-
sequence in the way of the vic
to1ious and uninterrupted march
Of goldocracy in this country in
the country press. 1t was on
easy matter for the gold trust to
control the big dailies. They are
as q rule owed by stock compan-
les, and a controlling interest
could be purchased. and a suit

with the country weeklies. These
are generally owned by the indi-
viduals that edit them. Buying
out these were out of the ques-
ton, as they can not be run at all
except by the owner who is as a
rule editor compositor, pressman
and jack of all trades in his Office.
Nor has the attempt to convert
the country editors to belief in
gold recommendation been an un-
qualified success. The country
editors are as a rule men of more
than average honor and intelli-
gence. Some would naturally be
gold-monometallists from convic-
ton or inclination or take the
stand their political party took in
any event. But others, and not a
few we are glad to say, were too
independent to take any other
stand than their honest convic-
tions dictated. : Many of such
have deied> the party lash, and
the dictation of party leaders and
fearlessly fought gold-monome-
tallism, because they believed it
to be destructive of the prosper
ity Of the country. The sound
n oney propaganda soon saw that
means had to be devised to coun,
ter act the independent country
press if their campaign Of educa-
ton should be successful. 81

ing the shaft, but as soon as a
vent is forced some other place
it blazes forth with fierceness
that no earthly power can quench.
The silver question is the only
live political question in Ameri-
can politics. All other questions
are simply side issues. It must
be settled first. This country
and any other country for that
matter, in order to do business
must have a regular and reason
able and available supply of legal
tender money. No business man
can or will assume money obliga-
tons, beyond absolute necessity
for daily living, unless he is as
sured of some certain avenue of
obtaining the where-with to dis
charge his obligations. At pres
ent his only resource is gold,
and both the worlds stock and
the mines are in the hands of a
few, and is cornered, and is liable
to be more so at any moment.
Every serious thinking bust
ness-man knows this. This in
cubus on industry must be re-
moved in some way before bust
ness can revive. The restora-
ton of silver to it's ancient and
time honOred status of mint privi-
ledge is at once the immediate
and reasonable solution of our
industrial difficulty. This is no
newfangled and untried fad. It
is simply righting a great wrong.
It is simply restoring an inalien-
able franchise to the comm on peo-
pie, of which they were surrepti-
tiously and injustly deprived. It
is this fact that produces the pro-
found convictions on this ques-
ton in the minds of the people.
Here the people are on the solid
basis Of justice and equity. Here
the reform forces must stand.
The silver craze will not down
for it is founded upon eternal
justice and equity, and every day
this fact is becoming palmer and
palmer.
We are dubious as to the prac-
ticability of enacting into law at
present many of demands of po-
litical reformers Of the day. But
we are positively certain that the
free coinage Of silver at the old
ratio will be enacted into law in
this nation before long. If none
of the present political parties
will take up this issue, as the
central and main issue, a new
party will spring into being as
by magic, and sweep this county
like a whirlwind. The silver
craze is in the air.
