Farm Laborers Would BE Greatly Injured

The census returns for 1890 show
that there were in that year 1904, 015
agricultural laborers in the United
States This immense number Of per
sons are now paid their wages in cur
rency based ON gold. Under 16 to /
free coinage law they would be paid in
dollars with only half the purchasing
power of those they now receive. This
would be equal to a reduction of so per
cent in their wages.
The landowners who hire these 8, 900,
900 workers say that under free sill
yer wages would rise. 1t may be true
that there would be some advance in
the pay of farm laborers, though since
that class Of workers are unorganized it
would be much harder to secure an in.
crease than in the case of the working
men of the factory cities and towns who
are members of powerful trades unions.
One thing at least is certain-there is
no possible way in which the wages of
agricultural laborers could be doubled
in order to compensate for the doubled
cost of living under cheap money prices.
Nor do the men who hire those 3, 600, =
600 workers want wages to be doubled.
With Ex-Governor Boies they say that
wages are now too high. Does any sensi-
BILE farm laborer, who knows what a
hard bargain his employers always
make, screwing him down to the last
cent for which he will work, believe
that employers want to pay higher real
wages than they do now? Doesn't every
man who goes looking for a job at plow
ing, sowing, moving, reaping, picking
cotton or any other kind Of farm work
know very well that the men who hire
him want wages to be as low as posi-
BILE? OF course they do. And the men
who find that their employers are al
ways trying to keep wages low must
be very innocent indeed if they can be
fooled into believing that these same
employers are booming the silver scheme
because it will make wages high.

Would Not Make an Increased Demand
For Silver.


The faction of the Silver party which
believes that under free coinage at l6
to / the bullion value of silver would
be raised to its coinage ratio with gold
says that this will be done by reason Of
the greatly increased demand for silver.
1t Is alleged that this additional demand
will make the silver dollar equal in
value to a gold dollar and that, there
fore, there would be no Reputation Of
debts or loss to savings bank depositorS,
holders of insurance policies, etc.
But while they talk of an increased
use of silver money under free coinage
the silverites do not attempt to show
how or why more would be used. We
have now over $500, 900, 900 in silver
money, of which almost $500, 900, 600
is full legal tender and $4,000, 900
subsidiary coinage. That the limit to
the amount of the latter coins that will
circulate has been reached is shown by
the fact that over $15, 900, 900 is now
idle in the treasury vaults, there being
no demand for it in business.
OF the 431, S52, 041 silver dollars
which have been coined only 81, 99y, =
III are in circulation, the remainder
being represented by silver certificates.
Were it not for these certificates it is
doubtful whether one half of the total
coinage would go into circulation, as
the weight and bulk of the white metal
make it unsuitable for general use. 1t
must be remembered that under free
coinage no silver certificates would be
issued, all that the government would
do being to stamp the metal brought to
the minis and return it to its owner.
Under such a system the total amount
of silver used as money would be strict
ly limited to the quantity of coins which
60 into general circulation. We now
have almost 50 per capita of silver
money in its various forms. We cannot
use more subsidiary silver, of which
there is already too much. Nor is it
possible to force each man, woman and
child to use over 50 in silver coins.
The thing is absurd. Indeed it is doubt
full whether we would use more silver
than Mexico, where under free coinage
the per capita circulation is but little
over 81. And in this country superior
banking facilities make metallic money
less necessary than in Mexico
The belief that free coinage would
make an unlimited or even an increased
demand for silver is therefore delu-
sion. 1t should have no weight in the
discussion of the 16 to proposition.

NO INCREASE IN PURCHASING POWER
Free Silver Would Not Help workingmen
by Enabling the Farmers to Buy More
Manufactured Goods.

Free Silver Would Not Help Workingmen
by Enabling the Farmers to Buy More
Manufactured Goods.
In reply to the question, How would
doubling the prices of everything he
buys help the man who works for
wages?" published in New York pa
per, a number Of letters were received
from advocates of free silver. The argu-
ment in nearly all the letters was the
same-that if the prices of farm products
were doubled by measuring values in
cheap silver dollars, the farmers would
be able to buy far more goods. This
the writers claimed would cause a
greatly increased demand for all kinds
of manufactured articles and would
thus give employment to more workers
and by increasing the demand for labor
tend to advance wages. For this reason
the workingmen of the north and east
were urged to support free silver, even
though it threatened to Immediately
double their living expenses without
doubling their wages.
The fallacy in the pretense that max
ing prices higher through reducing the
value of the dollar will increase the
farmers purchasing power, should not
deceive schoolboy. For it is evident
that if the price of all kinds of farm
products are doubled by measuring
them in cheap silver, the prices of every
kind of manufactured goods will also be
doubled Thus wheat is now worth GO
cents bushel, and the silverites promise
that under free coinage its price will be
$1.2O per bushel. Cotton is now cents
per pound. Measured in so cent dollars
this would be IA cents. So with all
other farm products.
But when the farmer went to town to
buy goods, he would find that the pur,
chasing power of his products had not
increased one-hundredth of 1 per cent,
for the price of calico which now sells
at cents per yard would then be 1e
cents. The price of sugar which is now
cents a pound would then be IL cents.
And everything else would be equally
doubled in price as compared with the
silver standard. Under the present
money system the farmers crop ex,
changes for certain amount OF goods.
Under free silver it could not possibly
exchange for larger quantity, and on
account of the general unsettlement of
business caused by overturning the
country's financial policy it would
probably bring a good deal less.
The idea that calling two four and
four eight will enable the farmers to
buy more than they do now is worthy of
free silver logic. That any one should
be found to accept it seriously is evil
dence of the effect of the cheap money
delusion on the reasoning faculties

The Silver Craze.

Make the people think that wampum's good
as gold,
Indian arrow heads as we'll, quaint seashells
old,
Continental buttons-anything, you know
II the government should only stamp it so.
Make 'em think "the gold reserve" is all a
sham,
And that silver'n make 'em "happy as a
clam"
Make 'em think that Uncle Sam can make one
two,
Then you'll clearly push the silver humbug
through.
But till then I'll think the people will have
sense,
As they read, to see through all Of this pre-
tense,
For the tempting worm you re trolling through
the brook
Has within it a most dangerous silver hook

When six inches make foot, when
eight ounces make. a pound and when
16 quarts make bushel, then so cents
will make dollar.
The price of cotton advanced over 70
per cent in 1895 owing to a great de-
crease in the crop for that year. This
proves that it is supply and demand
which regulate prices and not the
amount of money in the country.

There is not silver standard country

There is not silver standard country
in the world in which gold circulates
or is used as money. We will certainly
go to silver basis if we try the 16 to 1
experiment. Possibly we may scare gold
away and go to silver basis before the
experiment really begins. Will some
friend of silver" tell us how this will
give MS more money, lower interest or
better times? Can we expect silver to

do more for us than it has done ror
Mexico, India or China?

Every increase in price checks con-
sumption. People buy less when goods
cost more. Decreased consumption
means lessened production, or, in other
words, less employment for labor and
capital. How will injuring industry
bring prosperity?

ANOTHER VETO,
The Fort Omaha Military Reservation
Bill Returned,

hihl NetuEheus
The President has sent to the House,
without his approval, the bill to provide for
the lease of Fort Omaha military reserva-
tion to Nebraska for use by the state as
place of rendezvous and school of instruc-
ton for the National Guard of the state
The message recalls the legisIa zion of July
1sss. providing for a new MILITARY reser-
tions in the pending bill to lease the old
reservation and buildings at pominal
rent, and TO the provision allowing the gov
eminent 10 repossess the reservation only
when the interests of the United States
snail require such action Tine President
then says: "Of course 1t would be claimed
that this language, in view of the statute
OF ISIS, should not be construed as per-
mitting the government to retake the prop
erty for the purpose of selling it, because
that Is not stipulated in the bill. For that
reason 1t would be plausibly urged that
the lease was paramount to the power of
sale contained in the law of 1SSS and that
the omission of any provision that possess
sion might be resumed for the purpose of
sale plainly indicated that the interests
of the United States which allows such
resumption. contemplates some other and
different emergency
AS practical question. We all know that
transactions of this character relating to
government property amount to perma-
nent alienation. certainly pave the way
for an absolute grant. do not think there
should be anything done with this valuable
the government in it's sale, and to that
extent re!mbursng itself for the cost of the
new military post, which was plainly con-
templated in the law of 1sSS.''
