A Pointer for Farmers.

remember one instance that bears
particularly upon this question that came
to me today as l sat here, and that was
this: My father came from the New
England states upon this prairie in 1887
He told me this instance once: That
after sowing a crop of wheat by hand,
cutting it with the cradle, binding it with
the rake, and threshing it with the ball
upon the floor, he put it upon n wagon
and drove it to this city of Milwaukee.
ninety-six miles away, and sold it here
for 46 cents a bushel This was in the
sos, and silver then was $1.30 an ounce.
Now tell the silver men to explain to you
how it was that in the early SOS wheat
was 46 cents a bushel, and silver $1.30
an ounce. if the price of silver always
carries with it the price of wheat. And
when he hens and haws, say to him:
sit is not only confined to wheat, but
that other commodity you yoke up with
silver, cotton; and tell him that for the
four years ending in 1S45 cotton in the
city of New York averaged only z cents
n pound; and that for the four years
ending in 1894 the same class averaged
cents a pound. Tell him to explain
that to you. That was when we had
free coinage and silver was then $l3(
an ounce. He cannot explain it. That
one illustration, my friends, utterly de-
stroys the whole silver heresy.-Con
gressman Fowler of New Jersey.

Bryan shown to be Uncertain.

There is abundant proof that Mr..
Bryan is an insincere politician and an
unreliable adviser of the people. He
was bolter in 1898 and in that year,
clared that the exchangeable value of
dollar depended on something besides q
congressional edict.
When Frank Irvine was running ON
the Democratic ticke for judge of the
Supreme court of Nebraska Mr.. Bryan
supported n Populist. In reply to let
ter from Mr.. Irvine, calling Mr.. Bryan's
attention to his unexpected position, the
present candidate for President on the
Democratic ticket wrote a statement of
his reasons for bolting which contained
the following cool remarks and assur-
ances of personal and peculiar esteem
for the Democratic candidates:
l regret that our people chose for slaughter
so deserving man. They ought to
have selected some one of the numer-
Gus Democrats who are responsible
for the falling of of the Democratic
vote. l have spoken to you thus
feel that you deserve better fate
than the one which fear awaits you
this fall.
During the extraordinary session OF
Congress of 1893, called by President
Cleveland, Mr.. Bryan made speech in
which he declared that:
While the government can say that a given
weight of gold or silver shall consti-
tute a dollar and invest that dollar
with legal tender qualities, 1t cannot
lar. That must depend upon the
law Of supply and demand.
If the number of dollars Increases
more rapidly than the need of dol
lars-as II did after the gold discover
les of 1S40-the exchangeable value Of
each dollar will fall and prices rise.
Thus it appears that Mr.. Bryan knew
what the eXchangeable value of a dol
lar depended on. His change of tune,
therefore, is not because conditions have
changed, but because he shifts his prin-
ciples with the varying political breezes,
and that he is willing to do anything for
office.
In the spring of 1892 Bryan declared
in a speech made by him on the tariff
question that the fall of prices must be
attributed
To the inventive genius that has multiplied
thousand times, In many instances,
enabled us to do today with one man
what fifty men could not do fifty
years ago. That is what brought the
prices down in this country and else
where.
At this time another change has come
over the spirit of his white house
| dream. He and his fellow Populists
ascribe the fall in the prices of commod-
| tiles TO the fall in the price of silver.
| Mr.. Bryan and his associates declare
that 1.-THE crime of 1873" which the
News has shown, to have been no crime
at all, has pulled everything down with
| it. :,
How can the people believe a man
who thus stultifies himself and puts him
| self on both sides of vital questions,
while, at the same time, he proves un-
true to his party associates buffalo

used to pay the expenses of the govern
ment." The tariff on some of the neces-
saries of life might be reduced, and the
deficit made up by an issue of money"
Or, if this is not deemed advisable, gov
ernment paper can be issued to pay for
special improvements; harbors can be
deepened and rivers improved in this
way" He introduced n bill to issue
$70,000,000 of United States treasury
notes, with which to innugurate the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal. He
further suggested that 1--WE can use any
available coin on hand to take up ma
tured bonds and replace the coin so used
with paper money" He introduced an
other bill providing in this way for the
payment of the So, 100000 outstanding
2 per cent bonds. He did not stop even
at that point, but gravely proposed that
government paper should be issued in
the place of national bank notes, as they
are retired" His theory of the ultimate
redemption of government obligations,
as stated by himself, was that the larger
the issue of treasury notes, the smaller
will be the coin" reserve required with
which TO meet them. By coin" he ex-
planned that he meant both gold and sill
yer, wilfully ignoring the disparity in in
trinsic value between the gold and silver
dollar.
And this is the financier and states
man for whom honest and sensible men
are asked to cast their votes, next No
vember!

Cheap Dollars.
664.oGO,375

Everything is cheap or. dear according
to what we have to pay for it. 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 q merchant now gives twenty
pounds of sugar for dollar, and the dol
lar which he gets is a 200-cent dollar;
and if the 200-cent dollar is a dishonest
dollar and ought to be replaced by 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"
means.
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 cheap col
lar, for which the merchant will give
want a 200-cent dollar, for which the
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 l want; but, if dollars were
cheap, | would get twice as many OF
them for days work"
Would you, indeed? Not on your life.
Free and unlimited coinage of silver, al
the ratio of 10 to 1, is simply scheme
to reduce your wages without your know.
| ing it or having an excuse for striking.
What good would it do you to get twice
as many dollars for days work if 81
would buy no more sugar, and no more
of anything else, than 81 will now buy
Besides, if prices go up, under free
coinage, as they will-we admit that
does not the workingman know that the
first thing to go up will be rents, the
next thing will be food and clothing, anc
the last thing will be labor? Under free
coinage, instead of being better off, the
workingman would be worse off than ht

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

There Is no reason why Canada, Mexi-
co, China, or any other country should
supply the United States with a single
egg. Canada does not buy single egg
from us. 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 few figures the benefit which the
American farmer derived from the Nc
Kinley law; not merely because the
law stopepd imports from other countries,
but because under that law he received
an average of 10 cents n dozen for his
eggs all the year around. Under the
present Wilson-Gorman bill, he hardly
averages cents a dozen; and the people
could better afford to pay 10 cents a
dozen in 1892 than they can cents a
dozen in 1896.
From 1888 to 1890, there was no tariff
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 15,500,OO0 dozens of eggs, an

100000 dozen month or 10000 dozen
day was felt, in the way of competition,
by our farmers chiefly in the large cities.
Farmers cen get the best prices for eggs
and their products in the large cities;
but when New York, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, San
francisco and many other markets are
supplied with eggs, shipped at cheap
rates of transportation by water, how
can the farmer expect to compete who
has to ship his eggs by rail?

tations of eggs, by countries, the year be-

farmers fifty miles in the interior of any
of the states bordering on the Great
Lakes, to compete with eggs shipped by
water from Canada.

in 1929; 1,750,000 in 1884. BY 1894
nearly $2,000,000 had been taken from
the foreign shipper, which now went into
the pockets of the American farmer.

A Question for Farmers.

m 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 p
