ingmsn. The heavens may fall; mil
lions Of worthy, willing men unable to
get work, but the dollar, even IL un.
able to get it, must be 100 Cents-must
be OF intrinsic value, sound and hon
est, no 50-cent dollar for the American
workingmsn, If the wOrkingmen were
as ignorant as the gold standard adVo-
Gates assume they are, this would be a
conclusive argument; but fortunately
the WOrkingmen know that the friends
of silver do not want q 50.cent dollar.
The 50-cent dollar Is only an imaginary
bugsboo of the gold bug to scare the
ignorant. The silver dollar buys now
as much as the gold dollar, and If il is
put on a full equality with gold by q
free coinage law it will surely not be
hurt very much by the operation.
Theories and book knowledge are
good In their place, but observation
and experience is better. 1 want to
talk little on this subject from my
own observation and experience. In
1873 the Bland Allison act was passed,
giving q slight but steady increase Of
the currency. The Fort bill prohibit.
ing the further destruction of the
grsenbacks was also passed the same
year. These two measures, insignifi-
cant as they might seem, resulted in q
wonderful impulse to trade and indus
trial enterprises, as well as to farming.
In 1882 l moved on to a farm In Riley
county, and for seven years had no
other sVocation but farming. The To-
cslity at that time was rather back
ward in general improvements. There
had been q poor crop in 81; In '82 the
crops were good, and prices also. My
crops were that year: Average In
corn, 45 bushels per acre, sold at 36
cents, value per acre $16.20; oats per
acre, As bushels, price 81 cents, value
per acre $12.95; wheat per acre, %
bushels, price 81 cents, value per acre
$lS.04. Crops and prices were fair
to good for several years. Now want
to call attention to the effect Of
such conditions on the business men,
manufacturers and Workingmen.
Every farmer invested his surplus over
In improvement; new houses
were built or additions to the old ones
made; graneries, barns and fences put
up; orchards set out; furniture, organs,
etc., bought. AS a consequence, bust
ness was good, and labor generally en-
plOyed. The difference the farmer gets
when prices are good over what he gets
when they are low goes nearly all to
the benefit Of merchants, trsnsports
tion companies, manufacturers and
workingmen.
Comparing this year with 'S2, crops
are just as promising as then, but
prices-Oats One-third of the price 1t
was then, corn less than half and
wheat less than half, taxes about
double on account of higher valuation.
