The Future Of the Hog.

What will be the future Of the hog ?
What will his numbers beP What will
his price beP What will his lndiVidu-
atty beP
The present low prices for hog prod
uct stimulate inquiry and prophecy as
to when he shall be q better price.
VIII we ever see him sell for cents 9
pound sgainp With a prophetic spirit
we say no, The day Of his high value
has passed and is history.
Fifty years ago they raised cotton in
the Southern States and sold It for so
cents pound, The producers made
money. They bought their provisions
elsewhere. Cotton decreased in value
to 25 cents pound, but still they grew
1t at good profit and bought their flesh
food Of the cOrn-growing States. But
cotton came down to Is cents Q pound,
and still they produced 1t. But neces-
sity is the mother of invention, and
about this time the cry went up, ,"Whst
shall we do to be ssVedP" They began
to see and realize that they could not
produce their chief product 30 chesply
and buy one of the great necessities of
life abroad. Can we raise corn and
hogs here at homer Experiment set
In along that line and resulted faVorR-
bly,. Cotton came on down to 10 cents
q pound, experimenting became gen.
eral, and 1t was demonstrated that the
Sunny South was self-sustsining and
no longer depended on her Northern
neighbors for her meat product. Cot
ton came on down to 5 cents pound
and even lower, and the people of the
South turned their attention toward
stock raising and grain raising, and as
D result the South Is developing into a
wonderful country, and Is destined to
rival what we call the great corn
growing States In the number of her
hogs and bushels Of corn. And In
stead Of the once valuable buyer and |
consumer that she was she has become
almost self.sustaining, and very soon
will be throwing her product on the
markets Of the world cheaper than her

Free coinage means that when q
person takes bullion to the mint It will
be coined for him free Of charge. He
takes the coin when it is ready, and
he, not the government, puts IL In cir
culatiOn. He wants it to circulate and
for no other purpose. 1t is of no use
to him unless it does circulate. His
first effort after getting the coin into
his possession Is to find some profitable
way Of getting rid of it. He immedl.
ately puts it where 1t will begin to per-

Gold Not the Standard of Civilization.
Under the above caption The Ameri-
can says:
"The statement that gold ispeCulisrly
fitted for use as money among the ma.
tions Of most advanced civilization be-
cause Of its being the most desirable
metal for the purpose on various &C.
counts, is not very definite, and the
statement that it is the most stable In
value is not true. Far from having
proven a stable measure of value, gold,
since divorced from silver, has proven
most unstable. Just as silver has been
discarded by nations of the western
world, ever since the nations of the
western world have taken up with
gold, this tstandard Of ciVilizatiOn),
to the exclusion of silver, gold has sp-
precisted and prices have fallen. From
year to year the purchasing power of
gold has increased until the gold dollar
of to-day is worth tWo.t thirds more than
the gold dollar of twenty years ago. And
1t is this dollar that we are asked to
look upon as stable; it is this dollar
that has appreciated ever since silver
has been discarded at an average rate
of per cent. per annum that We are
told is particularly fitted, because of
It's great stability, as. the standard Of
an advancing civilization. During the
past twenty odd years silver has proven
a much more stable measure Of value
than gold. In the United States 1t
has deprecated in purchasing power
very little, in silver. using countries 1t
has deprecated not at all.
"Ths ounces of silver will purchase
as much wheat, as much cotton, as
much of our agricultural products In
general to-day as 1t would twenty odd
years ago. On the other hand the pur.
chasing power Of the ounce Of gold has
doubled. So that to get the gold dollar
we must give two bushels Of wheat to-
day, where we gave one bushel In 1873,
and other agricultural produce in like
In this appreciated dollar
that calls for double the quantity of
produce that 1t did twenty odd years
ago, we must pay our debts, yet this
dollar that costs double the exertion,
double the expenditure Of labor and
energy to obtain a. the dollar contain
ing the same number of grains Of gold |
twenty odd years ago Is dubbed with
bitter irony an honest dollar, and on |
all those who deny that snch q dollar !
