Cheap Dollars.

Everything is cheap or dear according
to what we have to pay for 1t. Sugar IS
cheap at cents pound, but would be
dear at 10 cents.
A cheap dollar, therefore, is one that
the merchant buys with less goods than
he would have to give for a dearer dol
lar. If a merchant now gives twenty
pounds of sugar for a dollar, and the dol
lar which he gets is 2OO-cent dollar;
and if the 200-cent dollar is a dishonest
dollar and ought to be replaced by a. 100
cent dollar, worth only half as much; in
that case, the merchant will give only
half as much sugar for the cheaper dol
lar as he now gives for the dishonest
2OO-cent dollar. That is clear, is It not
This is precisely what cheap money"
Is this what the farmer and the work
ingman really want?
Apply this illustration to labor, if you
please The workingman buys dollars
with labor. Does he want a cheap col
lar, for which the merchant will give
only ten .po pounds of sugar? Or does he
merchant will give. twenty pounds of
sugar? Cheap dollars would cut his
wages in half. He surely does not want
that.
.'Oh, no. says the workingman. "that
is not what 1 want; but, if dollars were
cheap, I would get twice as many of
them for days work"
Would you, indeed? Not on your life.

saries of life might be reduced, and the

further suggested that 1--WE can use any

other bill providing in this way for the

FARMERS EGG BASKET
The Mckinley Law Checked In
portation and Gave a
Home Market.
EFFECT OF THE WILSON BILL.
The Canadian Farmer Has Protection
but the American Farmer
Has None.

There is no reason why Canada, Next
co, China, or any other country should
supply the United States with a single
egg. Canada does not buy single egg
from u.s. and there is no reason why we
should buy from her. When we do, the
American farmer loses the benefit of part
OF his natural market.
The purpose of this article is to show
by a few figures the benefit which the
American farmer derived from the Nc
Kinley law; not merely because the
Jaw stopped imports from other countries,
but because under that law he received
an average of 10 cents a dozen for his
eggs all the year around. Under the
present Wilson-Gorman bill, he hardly
averages 5 cents dozen; and the people
could better afford to pay 10 cents a
dozen in 1892, than they can cents a
dozen in 1896
upon eggs. The Canadian farmer could
send his eggs across the line from Maine
TO California. Mexico, China, France.
Germany and other countries supplied
us with 15,50O,O0O dozens of eggs, an
nually, on the average. We paid every
year to the foreign farmer on this small
product alone, at 10 cents a dozen, S.
800, 1000. This importation of over l.
~0OO,OOO dozen month or 10000 dozen
day was felt, in the way of competition,
by our farmers chiefly in the large cities.
Farmers can get the best prices for eggs
and their products in the large cities;
ton, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, San
Francisco and many other markets are
supplied with eggs, shipped at cheap
rates of transportation by water. how
has to ship his eggs by rail?
The following statement shows impor-
cations of eggs, by countries, the year be-
fore the Mckinley tariff went into into effect
for the year ending June 80, 1889:
Importations of eggs. by countries, July1
1888, to June 80. 1899.

1t would evidently be impossible for
farmers fifty miles in the interior of any
of the states bordering the Great
Lakes, to compete with eggs shipped by
water from Canada.
The Mckinley tariff imposed a duty
of cents dozen on eggs. This law
|. went into effect October /, 1890. Dur
Sing the year ending June 80, 1890, we
iEported nearly 100000 dozen eggs less
than in the year previous, when there
was no protection. The importation of
eggs steadily decreased until the repeal
of the Mckinley law in 1894, SO that
instead of nearly 100000 dozen eggs
being brought into this country, as here
tofore, in 1901 we imported 5000 900
dozen; 100000 in 1S91-92; 100000
lin 1923; /, 750.0 in 1894. BY 1894
snearly 100000 had been taken from
the foreign slipper, which now went into
the pockets of the American farmer.

stions of eggs since 1888:

AQuestion for Farmers.

If the volume of silver money controls
prices. as the free coiners would have
us believe that it does, so that the more
silver coin there is in circulation. the
higher is the price of wheat, and the
less silver coin there is in circulation,
the lower the price of wheat; then will
some farmer. who believes in the free
coinage of silver at 16 to 1, answer the
question:
How did it happen that wheat was
lower in price in 1894 than ever before,
while the amount of coined silver in the
world was greater than ever before:-

and then a dose of Paris green, in the
hone of killing the bug, is very pat to
the political situation The American

he has suffered ever since, the Populist

Assumed net profit to Mexican
Reduced to gold. 1880
As this assumed profit would be in
silver and the wheat would have to be
sold upon the gold standard, this skillful
accountant reduces this to gold, making
the net profit to the Mexican farmer
$3.50. But to produce this result this
accommodating accountant, while con-
ceding that the expense of raising the
wheat would be twice as many silver
dollars as in the United States, as
sumes that the profit on it would be the
same number of silver dollars as in the
United States. As matter of fact the
freight rates in Mexico are higher ex-
pressed in the gold standard than in the
United States, but assuming that they
are the same, the American railroad COM
panies, soon as they cross the border,
require twice many Mexican dollars
to pay a given freight rate they re-
Quire of American dollars on America n
territory. so that the freight rate in Mex
leo would be $1,000 instead of $500, as
our free silver accountant states it.
Moreover. interest rates are higher in
Mexico than in the United States, if
paid in Mexican silver dollars, and more
over the interest would have to be paid
on twice the number of silver dollars bor-
rowed by the American farmer, so that
even supposing the rates of interest
to be the same, the amount of interest
would be double, raising it from 5000 to
$500. Moreover, the equivalent of $40
taxes paid by the American farmer
would be $50 in Mexican dollars, SO that
the account of the Mexican farmer, thus
corrected. would stand as follows:

to the agony was the yellow playing OF

to their credit, some OF which were as
disastrous as they were giaring. McFar-
