The Farmers aud tho Tariff

There Is probably no class OF men IN
the country, not even the manufacture
ers, who have suffered more during the
past four years on account of threat
ened and accomplished changes in the
tariff than have the farmers. The
threat of modifying the tariff, on free
trade lines, commenced its mischevious
work as soon as the result of the cleo
ton in 1892 was known. From that
time on the agitation of the subject
was a constant menace and disturb
ance to business of all kinds, until the
passage Of the Wilson German act com
plcted the destructive work. The
farmers have suffered in two ways.
In the first place the paralysis of gen
eral business, and especially of manu-
featuring, has diminished the consum-
ing power of the country SO that the
home market is nowhere near as good as
it was in the prosperous times of 1892.
In the next place the Wilson tariff
gave unfair advantage to the farmers
and wool growers of other countries.
These are the main causes of the pres
ent low prices of farm products. A
third cause, which applies particularly
to wheat, is the opening up of new ter
ritory in the Argentine Republic and
in Russia, and the improved means of
transportation by which their surplus
can he taken to the European markets.
The last named cause is beyond our
reach. The other two can be remedied
by the voters at the next election.
What the farmer needs more than any
thing else is to have the tariff question
settled on the protective policy and
settled for a life time, so thoroughly
settled that he will have time TO raise
and market a crop before the question is
again agitated-time to grow flock of
sheep and get some benefit from them
before the tariff on wool is again taken
off. There is one way and only one to
accomplish all this and that is To elect
Mckinley president with a good Re-
publican majority in congress. But
multiplying words on the subject is
superfluous. The whole case was sue
cinctly stated in a single sentence by
Mr.. Mckinley himself in a recent
speech, in which he said "What this
country needs is to get back to that pol
icy that will give us work and wages.

about this
As To the so-called decentralization"
of silver, neither that nor any other
act of congress ever took away from a
single standard silver dollar any legal
tender quality once given to it. The
silver dollars coined before that time
were then, and have been ever since, a
legal tender for their face value. The
law simply discontinued the coinage of
the silver dollar, and its use as stand
ard. The reason given by the director
of the mint, ii. X. Linderman, in rec
ommending the bill, was that ''having
higher value as bullion than its nom
inal value, the silver dollar long ago
ceased to be a coin of circulation, and
being of no practical use whatever, its
issue should be discontinued The
comptroller of the currency gave sim
liar view, when, referring to the fact
that the silver dollar disappeared from
circulation long before 1873, he said:
THE coinage act of 1873 simply regis
tered in the forming of statute, what
had been really been the unwritten
law for 40 years"
There was no trick and no secrecy
about the passage of the law. 1t was
IA well-considered measure, and under
the conditions then existing, a wise
measure. 1t established by law a
standard which was already the stand
ard i'm fact, and it aided in the resump-
ton of specie payments, which was
brought about by legislation adopted
two years later. The fact that enor-
mously increased production of silver
has since deprecated the value of that
metal, does not discredt the Judgment
of the congressman of all parties, who
were considering the subject before
that increased production any effect.

Mckinley ON the Value OF Labor.

No worthy American wants TO reduce
the price Of labor in the United States.
1t ought not to be reduced; for the sake
Of the laborer and his family and the
good of society ii ought to be main
tanned. To increase il would be in
better harmony with the public sense.
Our labor must not be debased, nor our
laborers degraded To the level of slaves,
nor any pauper or servile system in any
form. nor under any guise whatsoever,
at home or abroad. Our civilization
will not permit it. Our humanity for
bids it. Our traditions are opposed to
IL. The stability of our institutions
rests upon the contentment and intelli-
genee of all of our people and these
can only be possessed by maintaining
the dignity of labor and securing to it
its just rewards. That protection
opens avenues for employment, broad
ems and diversifies the field of labor.
and presents variety of vocation is
manifest from our own experience.
VIM. Mckinley.

While the people elect president by
their votes they do not vote direct for
the candidate. The work Is done
through an electoral college. In other
words, each state puts up ticket OF
presidential electors and these east the
vote which finally decides who shall
be president and vice-president.
This ticket is made up so as TO give
one elector for each United States SEN
ator and one for each member of con-
gress. Michigan has IA electors. The

The Act of 1873.

The advocates of the free coinage of
silver, have, for years, been reiterating
the statements that the act of 1873,
stopping the coinage of the silver dol
lar, was surreptitiously passed; that
the members of congress, even, did not
know what they were voting for, and
that the act was passed at the instiga-
ton of men who were interested in
forcing a corner on gold. They have
repeated these statements so often
that many have convinced themselves
of their truth. Even so well-informed
a man as +. A. Baker, in his recent
ratification speech at the Auditorium
in Detroit, declared that it was a
"stealthy' act. They also speak of the
law as having 'demonetized" silver.
An inquiry as to the exact facts in the
case is pertinent at this time.
There had been no general revision
of the coinage acts since 1887. and no
amendments adopted since 1853. In
1870 the secretary of the treasury, Mr..
Boutwell, framed bill intended to
bring under one chapter all the acts
relating to the coinage since the mint
was established in 1893. This was
printed and copies of it sent to experts
throughout the country; and after their
suggestions had been considered il was
introduced in the senate and referred
To- the committee on finance April 90,
1870. 1t did not pass the senate until
Jan. 10, 1871, having been for some
months upon the files of members in
printed form. Previous to its passage,
which was by vote of 80 to IA, il was
discussed for two days, Senators Sher-
man, Sumner, Morrill,, Bayard and a
number of others having taken part in
the discussion.
The bill did not pass the house of that
congress, but was introduced i'm that
branch of the next congress March 9,
1871, by Hon. VIM. ID. Kelley. of Penn
sylvania. Ten months later, Jan. o,
1872, it was favorably reported by the
house committee on coinage. weights
and measures, Mr.. Kelley saying that,
in that committee, lit received as care
full consideration as | have ever known
a committee to bestow upon meas
ure." 1t was discussed i'm the house by
Messrs. Kelley, Garfield, Maynard,
Dawes, Holman and others, and May
%, 1872, it was passed by a vote of 10
TO 10. 1t went to the senate and, with
amendments. passed that body Jan. IL,
1873. after discussion which took up
10 columns of the congressional Globe.
In the house it was again printed, with
the senate amendments, i'm some OF
which the lower body failed to concur.
Conference committees were appointed
and their report was agreed upon by
both houses, the bill becoming law
Feb. ~, 1873.
1t will thus be seen that the bill was
before congress and it's committees
nearly three years. IL was printed as
congressional document IL times, and in
the report Of he deputy controller of the
currency twice, making ID times in all.

the election Of 1892. This can be at
tanned only by voting the Republican
party back into power. The st. Louis

the existing currency-the money we
had in 1892 when all were prosperous.

1.-THE CRIME OF 1879"

Sound Currency for June contains IA
very interesting article by Congress-
man McCleary of Minnesota, on the
coinage act OF lS73-"the crime of 49,"
as frequently designated by cheap
money advocates, who charge 1t with
the stealthy and corrupt demonetiza-
ton of silver.
Mr.. McCleary shows conclusively
from contemporary records that the
bill instead OF going through Congress
like the silent tread of a cat" had
actually been before that body for
about three years; that il was printed
at least thirteen times; that it was
carefully debated in botn houses the
debates in the Senate occupying 66
columns and those Of the House rs
columns of the Congressional Globe);
and that with the exception OF the sill
yer trade dollar to meet the wishes OF
the Pacific coast, it finally passed sub
stantially AZ introduced. Every i'm
portant feature of the bill was fully
explained in the original report and
repeatedly afterward in the debates on
the bill itself. Instead of the surrepti-
tious dropping out of the standard
dollar just before the passage of the
act, as so frequently alleged-the fact
appears that the standard 4l2t grain
dollar Tor any other provision for free
coinage OF silver) was never in the bill
| from first TO last.
The fact of and reasons for this
omission were carefully pointed out in
the reports on the bill and in the suisse
, quent debates; while from contempor-
AIRY as well as earlier records, quoted
by Mr.. McCleary, it is apparent that
| little significance was attached to such
omission, since it merely registered
what had been the force of law for 20
years. The act of 1853 establishing
our subsidiary silver coinage upon a
limited tender basis was universally
regarded as fixing our currency tinan
cially upon the standard of one metal
and that gold.
Mr.. McCleary also exposes with
great clearness the Ernest Seyed myth,
and shows conclusively that the allie
cations so widely circulated as to that
gentleman corrupt connection with
| the act are most audacious falsehoOds
