WOULD HURT INSTEAD OF HELP
How Free Coinage would Injure the
Farmers.


Farmers.
The chief strength OF the Is to agi-
tation lies in the belief that it would
benefit the agricultural classes This
is a serious error The facts of all
human experience show conclusively
that free silver would cause widespread
and prolonged injury to the farmers Of
this country.
The mere threat Of free coinage would
greatly injure the farmers by aAusing
an immediate calling in of all loans
through the natural desire Of lenders to
get back money worth as much as they
lent. Hundreds of thousands Of farmers
would be unable to pay their mort
cages, and their farms would be sold at
sacrifice. No new loans would be
forthcoming, as the owners of capital
would not invest so long as there was
any danger that by change in the
money standard the value of loans
would be cut in two. AS the chief COM
plant of the farmers now is that inter-
est is too high and capital is too scarce,
the effect of policy which would make
capital scarcer and dearer can be fig
ured out by each farmer for himself.
A second way in which free coinage
would hurt agriculture would be by the
financial panic which would inevitably
follow the overthrow of our present
sound financial system and the adop-
ton of the Unstable cheap silver stand
ard. With the millions of bank de-
positors demanding their savings the
machinery of credits, by which so large
part of the country's business is done,
would be suddenly stopped. Merchants
would be unable to buy goods for lack
of credit; manufacturing industries
would be closed down, as in 1893, and
millions of workers would be idle.
Men out of employment do not buy as
much farm products as when they are
at work, and the farmers who now
complain of the lack of markets for
their produce would find themselves
with large part of their crops I'M
Sold Would not this be a serious In
jury to agriculture?
Another evil which free coinage
would bring to American farmers
/. would be the unsettlement of their
trade relation with the great gold
standard commercial nations. which
purchase each year S60O,0O0,O00 worth
of our surplus farm products. The
adoption of the silver standard, with
its constantly fluctuating scale of
prices, would prove the same barrier
to commerce between this and other
countries that it has to trade between
gold standard Europe and India, China,
and Japan Do the farmers want to
curtail and unsettle our foreign trade?
These are some of the ways in which
free coinage at 16 to would hurt the
farmers. No advocate of 53-cent dol
lars has ever been able to show single
way in which it would help them.

Trade Journals Summary.
To man who has no money there
are several ways to get it-namely:
(a) Beg it.
(hl Steal it

-
(a) Beg it.
(b) Steal it.
(c) Borrow it.
I'D Secure it by gift.
(e) Trade something for it.
If we are to beg for 1t. we might
Just as we'll do the best we can. There
fore a dollar based on gold standard
is better than 16-to-1 silver dollar,
which to-day is worth about So cents
intrinsically.
If we are to steal it, we want the
best. A thief who would steal a sill
yer dollar in preference to a gold dol
lar would be acquitted on the ground
that he was insane.
If we borrow it, we want that kind
of money which will go farthest, for
so we can get along with smaller loan.
Therefore a gold dollar is better to
borrow than 16-to-1 silver dollar.
If we are to secure it by gift, GER
tainly we should not depreciate that
which we are about to receive.
This brings us to e, which is the
way most money is obtained. A peril
nent question for each of us to ask at
this time is, What have I got to trade
for money which l want? 1t may be
labor: it may be horse or COW; it may
be lumber or shingles; it may be a
saw-mill At the present time we can
trade any of the above and get a gold
dollar for every dollars worth of value,
as may be agreed upon between buyer
and seller. We can get a dollar which
is worth dollar anywhere and every
where.
Now, your labor or horse or cow CT
lumber or machinery will be worth just
as much or nearly as much, next year
as it is this, but if we have free coin
age at Is to will the dollar which you
get in trade be worth as much as the
dollar you can get now? What will
that be worth? Can you tell? 1t may
be worth So cents or more or less. One
day this, one day that, but can any one
tell? These are all pertinent questions,
and, when carefully considered, must
guide us in voting at the next election
in November, and do not lose sight
of the fact that if all the silver in the
world is coined into money you cannot
get cent of it except by a, b, c, or
e. above referred to.-Iumber Trade
Journal.

Farmers who think that free silver
will help them to get rid Of their mort
cages should consider carefully what
effect a 16 to law will have on the
lenders of capital. The silverites are
telling you beautiful stories about the
great volume OF money which will be
ready for loaning at low rates of in
terest as soon as we adopt the silver
standard. But suppose the scheme
should not work in the way they ex-
ject? Suppose that as soon as it be-
comes likely that free coinage law
will be enacted there is a general de-
mand that all mortgages should at
once be paid in full? The promise of
cheap money when free silver comes
won't help you now. Where are you

CROWD GREETS BRYAN.
He Covertly Arraigns Cleveland Admin
istration for Issuing Bonds.

istration for Issuing Bonds.
William Jennings Bryan, presidential
candidate of the democratic party, has
been in Kenosha, was seen and --
passed on.
That is about all there is to be said
of this affair. The local democrats had
hustled about and secured a brass band
fund and at about $50 o'clock the
Windsor band turned out onto the
street and after marching through Main
street went to depot. The greater
portion of the crowd had got there
ahead of the band. The crowd appar-
emily numbered possible 1000. 1t
was a patient and jolly crowd which
iostled about, and seemed to be COM
posed of about as many republicans as
democrats.
The train was a few moments late in
getting in. As soon as it arrived the
crowd pushed to the rear platform of
the last car. Mr.. Bryan appeared al
most Immediately and was introduced
by Louis Bohmrich. The other occu-
pants of the platform were George
Kroncke, F. G. Culley and the repre-
sentatives respectively of the Associat-
ed press and United press.
The moment Mr.. Bryan was seen by
the crowd Mr.. Bohmrich and the re.
porters began motioning the crowd to
keep quiet. The evident purpose of
this was to let Mr.. Bryan say as much
as he could in the short time be had
without demonstration. Therefore,
there was very little noise made over
his appearance.
The appearance of Mr.. Bryan cor
rected popular impression the news
papers had given of him. Several re-
marks were heard about his not look
ing so young as he had been represent
ed to look. He looks like man of
fully 80 years of age.
Necessarily Mr.. Bryan's remarks
were very short. He said that there
were some questions which the people
could put off to other campaigns, but
the question in this campaign was so
important one that it must be settled
one way or the other in this one. After
saying that the money question was
the question to be settled he said that
we did not want an approaching dollar
with which to measure our products.
The only ones to benefit by appreciat-
ing dollars were those who are always
looking for &c safe investments. ~ They
profit by them in forcing; the govern
ment to issue bonds for such invest
ments in times of peace. He said his
platform pronounced against that thing.
The train pulled out as he was utter
ing his last sentence. He remained on
the platform and looked pleasant and
bowed as the train left the city. The
crowd dispersed rapidly. Republicans
declare that he made more Mckinley
votes than he did Bryan ones by his
appearance.

No Bosses for Us.

The Independent protests against the
very damaging charges that few Popu-
list editors are making against the consti-
tuted authorities Of the party and almost
its whole membership AS far as such
men as Taubeneck and Weaver are con-
cerned, they need no defense, and il they
did, they are perfectly able to defend
themselves, but the mass of membership
Of the party, about whom these vile cal
umnies are published, are practically de-
fensless, and it is for them that the
Independent desires to speak.
When any editor publishes that any
man can go to Populist State conven-
tion and either buy or boss 1t, he pub
fishes lie. Populists are not that kind
Of men. Whenever it is said that Taube-
neck, Weaver or any other man can
round up the delegates Of any Populist
State convention, composed as they are
of the best men in the party, and get
them to stife their conviction, or pursue
a policy contrary to the best judgment
Of these old toil-worn farmers, it is
slander and falsehood. Populist dele
gates are not that kind of men. They
have ideals, they have principles When
they leave their work, pay their railroad
fare and hotel bill to attend State con-
vention it is not for the purpose Of
abandoning their principles at the dicta-
tion Of any boss, and the man who as
serts that any Populist State convention
has been or can be ruled by bosses is a
slanderer Of the rank and file Of the
party.-NebraSkG Independent.

About Going to St. Louis.

The question Of what 1t will cost and
how to 90 to St. Louis to the National con-
Vention Is being discussed by POpulists all
over the West. The railroads, realizing
the Importance Of these conventions, will
make good rate, and then the question
would be what route TO take. All the
roads are now striving to get this traffic,
but many Populists have called attention
to the fact that in the early history Of the
movement the Chicago & Alton forced the
fight for reduced rates TO the Cincinnati
conference and enabled people to take ad-
vantage of a reasonable rate from Kansas
City. This disposition to be fair at that
time was commendable, and it Is not rea-
sonable to suppose that In the selection Of
route this year it will be forgotten. The
Alton don't pretend to have the only road
on earth, nor does 1t prate about the length
Of its lines, but 1t does enjoy the reputa-
tlon Of operating good road and OF giving
its patrons the best, up-to-date accommo.
datlons and splendid train service.
