TWO OUNCES OF SILVER
BY JOHN SHIRLEY WARD

No. I. Went to India IN 1870, costing
as bullion 1929 and then bought bushel
of wheat, with freight paid to Liverpool.
This bushel of wheat cost 81 80 when put
on the market, and as the price of that
wheat fixed the price Of all wheat going
to that market, American wheat could
only sell for that amount. An ounce of
silver would pay for bushel of wheat
in 1873 in India, and 1t would pay for it
in 1893.
No. Went to Indiana in 1898, but
the bullion in No. only cost 20 cents;
yet it paid for the bushel of wheat laid
down in Liverpool and as the bushel
only cost 20 cents in gold, it could be
sold for 20 cents, and this fixed the mar
ket price al 10 cents. and all American
wheat had to be sold at 20 cents. Does
this not show to any farmer why he
grows poorer every year growing wheat :?
And does it not show that the price
of silver bullion fixes the price of our
farm products? According to the bureau
| of statistics, assisted by the treasury
department June 80. 1898. we spipped
to Europe that year 10, 1872. 104 bushels
of wheat valued at S43 S05. 663, or less
than 60 cents per bushel. The price in
wheat in Liverpool regulates the price
| in Dakota, with freight and insurance
deducted. The price of cotton in Liv-
erpool is the price Of cotton in Missouri,
| less freight and insurance
So long as England regulates the price
| Of silver bullion, just SO long will she
regulate the price of our farm products,
and she will control the price of bullion
| until, by free coinage, it assumes its
real value, which is si29 per ounce.
| From 1879 to 1855 Inclusive. we have
| shipped to Europe liz 926, 62S bushels
of wheat. In 1873 this wheat averaged
| in Liverpool $1.3l per bushel; in 1885 it
| averaged SO cents per bushel. This
was q loss of 40 cents per bushcl on
these 1,112,926,62S bushels, but suppose
the loss was just half that amount, it
| would be $3.50. 40S. 49l on our surplus
! wheat crop alone fop the thirteen years,
! and it would be as much more on our
| flour and corn. and the losses on the
cotton since 1873 would be many hun
| dred millions. The farmer who cannot
see these results as mainly growing
! out Of the dishonoring of our silver, by
the act of 1873, would better go out of the
! business.
OF course, in the estimate. | have re-
duced the losses by onehalf. which is
a great margin, for other causes which
brought about the fall in prices.

THE ADJOURNED CONVENTION

At the first blush the continuance of
the deadlock at the Ventura convention
seemed to be a matter for regret. That
seventy delegates, after two days SEES
sion, We're forced to dispense without
attaining the object of their meeting was
apparently a reflection upon their sound
sense and executive ability. But the
adherents Of both candidates We're as
immovable as they We're Jealous; thir-
ty-fiVe delegates on either side believed
that their candidate was undoubtedly
the better man to enter the campaign
against McLachlan and eventually rep
resent the district in congress. AS far
as the man from Pasadena is concerned,
it might seem to have been waste of
time and energy. since the strength of
Democratic candidate to defeat such a
victim of topsy turVeydom as McLach-
ian has confessed himself TO be, need
not be very considerable. McLachlan's
voice and vote would be used with as
little effect for the single standard in
the next congress as they We're in the
last for the coinage of free silver. Cali
fornia will join in the chorus for free
silver next November and McLachlan
win not be given an opportunity to
accompany it upon a harp Of gold. But
it is all-important that the Sixth dis
trict should be represented by the most
able and best equipped Democrat avail
able, and the convention has yet to de-
eide who that man is.

because it soon assumed the shape of an
established fact. and it's prosperity badly
ratified the representations of dire failure

had to change its quarters repeatedly to
meet the requirements of its prosperity.
