THE aristoratic organs of Wall
street seem to be very much exercis-
ed over the fact that Mr.. Bryan is a
poor man, or as they prefer to put it,
a "pauper." They seem to think that
nobody should be nominated for pre-
sident but millionaire. This, how
ever, Is not the practice in this coun-
try. Lincoln was, in their estimation,
not only "ral) splitter" but he
was q "baboon," and everything else
that was offensive to their highly de-
veloped notion. The New York and
other Wall street organs, are now try
ing to make it appear that Mr.. Bryan
is too poor to pay his taxes. Will
this damage his chances OF election
among the great labor classes? They
admit that he is not likely to be the
tool of the rich and the people may
like him ''for the enemies he has
made" ."-Bellaire Tribune. (Rep.)

The South sea, Bubble.

The South Sea BILL passed in April,
1870, empowered the company to in
crease its capital, and when the direct.
ors called for subscriptions the money
came in by millions. Every effort was
made BY the company to infiame the
public mind The rumor was spread
that Gibraltar and Port Mahon were to
be exchanged for a part Of Peru. In this
way the whole nation fell under the
spell Of speculation and became stock
jobbera All kinds Of projects sprang
up and were foolishly accorded sup
port, many for objects that in calmer
times would have been recognized inn
mediately as impossible, such as q
wheel for perpetual motion Many Of
these schemes were the plainest Of day.
Light robberies, and on June ii proc.
lamation was published that all new
projects or bubbles--the word had now
come out-the number Of which was
then about hundred, should be deemed
common nuisances, and that any broker
dealing in them should be subject to q
penalty Of $500. It was computed at
this time that million and half Of
money was won and lost by these trans.
parent swindles
The South Sea scheme. however. held
on its way and daily increased in pub
lie favor. At the passing Of the South
Sea act the company's stock rose to $40.
A few days afterward subscription
was issued at 800 On the same day,
April IL, the royal assent was given to q
loan Of million to the company. On
the 26th Of the same month another
subscription was opened at 400. The
stock was worth $50 on May 30, and
was selling at 800 on June Q, 2,--Cornhill

WHY WHEAT, COTTON AND Sill.
YER ARE LOW.
AND HENRY COUNTY NEWS.

EDS. ONO FARMER:-That some
thing IS radically wrong in the con-
ditions prevailing in the United
States, every person knows. Why is
it that wheat, the chief export pro-
Duct of Northern farms, and cotton,
the chief Southern export product, is
30 low2 Because Of the demonetiza-
tion of silver. If this can be 30
thoroughly proven as to come within
the comprehension of the most obtuse
minds, will we not have given q most
potent reason for reconciliation and
the undoing of the "crime of 1872"

tween the price (in gold) of silver
bullion and the price of wheat and
cotton. 1t is our business to know
the facts, if we would come to intelli-
gent conclusions; and let US not lose
sight Of fact because temporarily
prevailing circumstances obscure it
from view; nor should we forget a
ruling principle because some excef-
ton, for the moment, is uppermost
At q meeting of the British Colonial
chamber of commerce in London IN
1866, Sir Robert Fowler, member
of parliament, banker and ex-Lord
Mayor of London, in opposing a res
olution favoring blmetallic policy
for England, said: "If we continue
this policy Ito depreciate silver) a few
years longer, we can destroy the
wheat and cotton industry of the
United States and build up India as
an active exporter of these staples. "
England, the "bunko steerer of the
world" knows how to look out for
British interests every time. Now
let US see how our wheat and cotton
industry has been ruined. This may
be shown by q comparison of the
range Of prices for wheat and cotton
and the gold price of silver bullion
for the past twentv-two years

Except for gold) has not lessened in
India. Demonetized silver can be
bought cheap in the United States
and paid out dear in India. The ma
jor portion of the balance of trade
above referred to as being against
England and for which she buys
cheap demonetized silver and pays it
out in dear legal tender silver, is
the result Of purchases by Eng
land of wheat and cotton, and
which wheat and cotton would be
bought in America because they are
preferable, we're it not that Great
Britain ls thus able to buy cheap de-
monetized silver at say from sixty. six
to sixty-eight cents per ounce in
New York, and pay 1t out dear in
India in settlement of council drafts
at $l.37.S per ounce, in the form OF
legal tender Indian rupees coined in
the British Indian mint.
Is it not evident, then, that there is
a bounty for the purchase of Indian
wheat and cotton to the extent of the
difference between the gold price of
an ounce of silver in New York, and
the gold value of the rupees made
from an ounce Of silver when issued
from the British Indian mint, meas
ured by the difference between sixty
six cents IN New York and $l.37.8
in India? This is but another way of
presenting the argument. The facts
remain the same, namely, that the
leading American exports, wheat and
cotton, and with them almost every
thing else, including real estate and
labor, has gone down in the United
States in almost the exact ratio with
silver.
Boiled down: England can buy
and will always be able to buy in
India and the East a bushel of wheat
for an ounce of silver, the only mon
ey of the Orient, equal to $l.37.S in
legal tender rupees.

considering that the American pro-
ducer is at disadvantage in the com

MEASURED BY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE BULLION PRICE Gin gold) OF SILVER
AND ITS COINAGE VALUE IN SILVER USING
COUNTRIES, is it any wonder wheat Is
low2 Is it any wonder that times
are hard? Is it any wonder that we
are fast becoming nation of landlords
and tenants? Sir Robert Fowler was
right, and the wheat and cotton in
dustries of the United States have
been destroyed, possibly, yea, most
probably, beyond complete recovery.
Let no American farmer imagine
that because there is short crop OF
wheat in this country this year, there
fore wheat is going to advance in
price. Many persons thought early
last spring that wheat would go to q
dollar, but it did not. The crop of
India, to be purchased with cheap sll.
yer, was being harvested and down
went the price. The infamy of the
situation is increased by the fact that
Great Britain, through our policy Of
demonstration, is able to buy cheap
silver in the United States and turn
around and pay it out at about one
hundred per cent. profit, and at the
same time force down the prices of
our chief exports, wheat and cotton,
until bankruptcy stares the producer
in the face.

statements made2 1t shall be forth

The international bunco-steerer

The secretary Of state for India, sit
ting in his London Office, is the great
est silver baron in the world. Every
week Anglo-Indian merchants or
bankers buy of him, through the
bank of England, council drafts
drafts payable in India in silver
amounting to $l,500,OOO to $780,
600, for the balance of trade between
Great Britain and India is, to that
extent, in India's favor. Now while
England pays this balance in silver
she demands gold in payment of the
Indian tribute, and thus follows the
forcing up of the relative value of
gold to silver in London, which be-
comes enormously profitable for Eng
land because, be it remem bered, the

THIS is the way the Republican edi.
tor of the Delphos Courant goes after
the gold standard men: Every
bloated millionaire lolling in easy
chair, resting from the srduous task
of clipping coupons, is deeply sympa-
thetic with poor men over the results
of free coinage. Marshall Field, the
rich merchant of Chicago, Chauncey
Depew, the we'll paid attorney of the
Vanderbilts; Carnegie, the multi.
millionaire iron man, of Pittsburg, all
on their way to Europe for a pleasure
trip, stop on the gang plank long
enough to pity the poor man if free
silver wins. Isn't it a burlesque on
craftsmanship, on politics, to think of
it seriously? Yet they are solemnly
quoted by the gold bug organs as
wise men,"

ly the same way, j. e., in silver, made
a legal tender by British law.
The people Of the United States
have lost in the depreciation of the
price of wheat and cotton alone dur
ing the past % years, more than two
thousand millions Of dollars.

the producer need not long ponder as
to what his duty should be to his
family, his country, his neighbor and
himself.
