The American farmers grow more wheat
than this country can use, therefore they
must sell in the worlds markets. There
their product comes in competition with

competition is sharp prices are brought
low. We cannot get away from the law of
supply and demand by iegislation.-Sey-
mour Republican.
Open the mints to the world, coin the
white metal in unlimited quantities free
for individuals and corporations, the gov
ernment having no more control or care
of the coined dollar than the miller does
of the flour turned out from his mill, and
the coin value will sink to the bullion
value. Then we will have 50-cent dollars.

the support of those who may oppose
everything but the money plank. The

sterly opposed to the comDlunistic features
of that document as TO the free-silver reso-

Item.
If there is a real sentiment for the sue

connived at national dishouor for private
