then we need not worry over the go
cent dollar proposition, for with a flood

lars worth only so cents that we would
never miss the 100-cent dollar. l never
was aware until this campaign that

there are. The woods are full of them
and the cities are crowded with them

Judge King devoted his entire re-
marks TO a discussion of the question
of overproduction. He quoted from
Statistics to prove that while the yield
OF wheat has decreased since 1892 in
the United States, still the price has
gone down.
There is no overproduction when men
and women are in want
AT HYRUM.
In the evening at s o'clock they ad-
dressed one OF the largest audiences
that has ever assembled in Hyrum dur
ing a campaign. Hyrum has a popu-
lation of over 1880, and if there is a
Mckinley man in it he is not known
to mis- neighbors.
Judge Powers made an eloquent ap-
peal to the voters to do their duty to
their country at the polls, his speech
being substantially as follows:
l have been in this beautiful valley
for three days, meeting the people, dis
cuSSing the great issues of this cam
paign, admiring the scenery and par
taking Of your hospitality. This lovely
valley, held in the mountains arms Of
rock is a picture of rural felicity. There
are here homes of peaceful and content
ed citizens. There are here men and
women intelligent, God-fearing and in
dustrious. There is here a soil which
needs only ito be tickled with the hoe
in the springtime to laugh with the
harvest in summer" Tnere are here
school houses and places of worship and
here one would have the right to ex-
pect prosperity, happiness and con-
tentment. Here one should find ma
terial advancement and signs of in
creasing wealth among the people.
The fertile soil is just as productive
as it ever was. The waters nourish the
thirtsy roots. The sun hurls its golden
shafts into the earth and they
sprout upward into fields of yellow
grain. The industry and frugality of
marked that it is readily apparent.
THE STRONG ARM OF LABOR
is guided by the intelligence of edu-
Gated minds, and yet, there is discon-
tent, there is dissatisfaction, there is
an increase of poverty instead of
wealth, and the outlocH for the future
contains but little of hope or OF
promise.
What is the reason for this? Why is
agriculture, once the most independent
of all avocations, becoming Improbable
TO those who pursue it? Why do the
taxes bear down with so much greater
weight? Why are tenants increasing
and home-owners growing less? There
is cause for all this. There is a reason
for such condition of the people. Some
where in this broad land the true
cause can be aScertained. The situa-
ton has become so critical and the
prospects for the future are so dark,
that the cause should be ascertained
and when ascertained the remedy
should be applied without hesitation.
| do not agree with the gold standard
men. who assert that the falling prices
are the result of ver-production. T. ete
is no over-production of the products
of the farm SO long as any little child
goes supperles,5 to bed. There can be
no such thing as over-production, so
long as the things produced are needed
by the consumers. I do not agree with
the assertion of the gold standard
men when they assert that the price of
farm products are decreasing because
too much has been raised.
PEOPLE ARE NOT MADE POOR
because they have too much wealth
The products of the soil and the mines,
the creations of the hand and the
brain is wealth. Money is not wealth.
people cannot be made poor by the
produc ton of too much of that which
mankind need, but a people can he
made very poor that is denied a suf-
ficient amount of circulating medium
to enable them to transfer f-0m one to
another that which is produced and
to thus secure an equitable distribu
ton.
II falling prices are the result of
cver-production, then we have been
teaching our children a false doctrine.
We have been teaching them to be in
dustrious, to be frugal, to be saving
and to accumulate so as to be prepared
for the days when old age forbids
labor. Under the claim of the gold
men, we should teach them to be lazy
and to be improvident, lest they should
produce too much and accumulate too
much and thus make themselves poor.
We should teach them that the highest
type of manhood is not that of honest
and industrious labor, but it is that of
the man of ancient times who crawled
out of his cave in the morning and
killed a snake for breakfast.
YOUR FARMS ARE SHRINKING IN
VALUE
until the money you have invested in
them is being squeezed out like the
Juice from lemon. Your receipts from
farm products are dwindling away until
you wonder where the money is com
ing from to appease the taX-gatherer.

nomical wife to turn her best dress

cannot afford a new one; the manifest
