GOLD AND THH FARMER.

The farmers are opposed to the
gold standard because they have felt
its effects. Since they sell at whole
sale and buy at retail they have lost
more than they have gained by falling
prices and besides this, they have
found that certain fixed charges have
not fallen at all. Taxes have not been
perceptibly decreased although it re-
quires more of farm products now
tnam formerly to secure the money
with which to pay taxes. Debts have
not fallen. The farmer who owed
81 600 is still compelled to pay $1,000,
although it may be twice as difficult
as formerly TO obtain the dollar with
which to pay the debt
Railroad rates have not been reduc-
ed to keep pace with falling prices, and
besides these items there are many
more. The farmer has thus found it
more and more difficult to live. Has
he not a just complaint against the
gold Standard
HOW WAGE-EARNERS SUFFER.
The wage-earners have been injured
by gold standard, and have express
ed themselves upon the subject with
great emphasis In February, 1898,
a petition asking for the immediate
restoration of the free and unlimited
coinage OF gold and silver at 10 to /
was signed by the Representatives OF
all, or nearly all, the leading labor
organizations and presented to Con-
gress. Wage-earRers know that while
gold standard raises the purchasing
power of the dollar it also makes it
more difficult to obtain possession of
the dollar; they know that employ
ment is less permanent, loss OF work
more probable and unemployment
less certain. A gold standard encour-
ages the boarding OF money because
money is rising; it also discourages
enterprise and paralyzes industry. On
the other hand, the restoration OF BIZ
metallism will discourage boarding,
because. when prices are steady or ris-
/ ing, money cannot afford TO lie idle
| IN the bank vaults.
"The farmers and wage-eaTnsrs to-

THAT gold does not remain absolutely

legal tender qualities and then eN-
tends the minis to it's unlimited coin

lar to be determined by the number OF
dollars Bi-metallism is better than
monometallism, not because it gives
Us a perfect dollar-that is, a dollar
absolutely unvarying in it's general
purchasing power-but because it
makes a nearer approach to stability,
70 honesty, to justice, than gol!
standard possibly can.
prior to 1879. when there were
enough open minis to permit oil the
gold and silver available for coinage
to find entrance into the worlds vol
ume of standard money. the United
States might have maintained a gold
standard with less injury to the people
OF this country; but now, when each
step toward universal gold stand
ard enhances the purchasing power
! Of gold. depresses prices and transfers
TO the pockets OF the creditor class an
unearned increment, the influence of this
nation must not be thrown upon the
side OF gold unless we are prepared to
accent the natural and legitimate con-
sequences Of such an act. Any iegis-
+! Iation which lessons the worlds stock
! OF standard money increases the ex-
