In mere ridicule or abuse. These things
are only the firecrackers OF campaign.
There is just one issue TO be decided this
year and that is whether or not we shall
have free coinage Of silver. Able men,
thinking men, patriotic men differ in
opinion as to this. II is only impudeni
for some fool or rascal to denounce one

honest on either side. The only occasion
for denunciation is when there appears
evidence OF the combination Of wealth

decision Of the question should be left te

THE FARMER's LOSS.

There is no class Of people who hav'
suffered 80 much from the demonetiza
ton Of silver as the farmers. The whea
farmer especially has been heavy lose
as the English importer buys silver II
America at 65 cents an ounce or there
abouts, takes 1t to India where he cal
buy nearly as much wheat for an ounc
OF silver as he could when this meta
commanded nearly twice the presen
price. Instead Of buying our wheat h'
buys from India and other silver coun
tries thus lessenlng the demand for oul
wheat in the foreign markets. The re
suit is that our sales are less and our ex
ports diminished while the silver coun'
tries profit by our folly.
The gold standard nations OF Europe
which produce no silver, and the Orient
aud South America which absorb our
silver, both profit by our short-sighted-
ness, while the United States loses by
the system OF gold standard and appre-
ciated dollars about $500, 000. 900 an
nualIy on wheat alone, and from two or
three thousand millions annually on our
entire production Of breadstuffs, meats,
and metals.
In 1872, the LAST year the mints were
open to the free coinage Of silver. the
wheat crop Of the United States sggre-
gated 249 ,997. 100 bushels, and its value
was $3l0, lSO. 1916. In 1895 the wheat
crop was 467, lO2 ,947 bushels-nearly
double that OF 1S72-and 1t was worth
only $685., s3s.sss
In 1872 the value OF the yield per acre
was $l4.s7, and 1895, $3.50.
In 1871 the corn crop Of the United
States aggregated 1.Os2, 7l9.0O0 bushels
valued at $495, lac, 23O, or $l224 per acre
In 1896 the crop was 2,l5l. l3s. $50 bush
els, valued at 1867 500, LOG or nearly s6.9l
per acre.
In 1872 the oat crop was 271 AZ, 00(
bushels, and the value OF its crop wal
$91. 3l5,7l0. In 1895 the crop had riser
to 1924 ,443,537 bushels, an increase o
nearly four-fold, and the crop was wortl
only $l63.655, 066.
In 1872 the barley crop was 32.044 40
bushels, valued at 500 1888. 500. In 1885,
the crop was 67,072, 744 bushels, valued
at $29, 3l2,4l3. In other words 81, 900 .00(
bushels brought more money in 1872 thar
67.0O0, 900 bushels brought in 1895.
In 1872 there were 10 .30s, 500 milk COWS
in the United States valued at 1929, 40S,-
9S3. In 1895 there were 16, 49,, $50 milk
cows in the United States valued at only
1858, 956, 545.
These figures are compiled from the
reports Of the agricultural department
and are absolutely reliable. They SNOW,
as no theoretical arguments could, the
frightful effects Of the debasement Of
silver.
