Fraud; Vote it Down!

To declare that the United States shall
pay its great debt in dollars worth so
cents each, and that all private debts may
be paid in the same way, would be to
enact that fraud shall be the rule. Yet
that is the sum and substance of the
Bryan plan for the free coinage of silver.
1t is a mi sfortune, unquestionably great,
and, 30 for as it has gone, irremediable,
that any considerable number of citizens
of the United States could he found to
countenance such a proposition, coupled
as it is with the sinister threat against the
Integrity of the country's highest court,
and the power of the law to protect the
public from the anarchy of riot. 1t is
beyond human ability now to prevent the
success or failure of his iamentable effort
from being decided by a mere majority
vote. The Bryan party. calling them .
selves Democrats, have precipitated the
issue whether or not the United States,
the proudest nation on earth, is to be
written down a swindler, a cheat abroad
aud at home. All that we can do under
the circumstances is to do the best we
can, and that will be to make the nations
majority against fraud and against the
degradation of this country to dishonor
and discredit so overwhelming that, after
the election has been decided, the whole
campaign for reputation and social dis.
order will fade into forgetfulness.
Theivote of every man who prefers hon
esty to dishonesty is needed in every State.
Pile votes up in every State in one vast
heap for the candidate for President
whose triumph means the preservation of
the United States honor and the final
erasure Of the scars which reputation has
put upon us already. That candidates
name is William Mckinley.

The Farmers and Free Silver.

IMr. hi NJ. Stahl, Secretary of the Far
mer's National Congress, In The FORUM
"The prosperity Of the farmer has
always depended upon the ability of other
classes to buy of him, and his comfort
upon the ability of other Glasses to fur
furnish him with what he needed and
could buy; but he is to-day more Deepen.
dent upon other classes than he was when
the major part of the clothing worn on
the farm. of the furniture in the farm
house, and of the implements used in the
fields, was made altogether, or nearly
altogether, beginning with the basic
raw material, on the farm, and when the
major part of the surplus farm products
was transported to the ultimate market
by the farmer himself using means of
TRANSPORTATION that he himself owned.
Farming is now more closely linked to
other industries, and with them it shares
a greater interdependence of industries.
s'The influence above all other infiuen'
ces affecting the price of farm products is
demand and supply. Anything that
lessons the disposition and ability of the
merchant, manufacturer, mechanic,
miner or the professional man to buy,
lowers the price of farm products. Any
policy that banks furnace fires and
silences the hum of spindles lowers the
price of wheat, beef, butter, wool and
fruits"

About Farms.
[Cincinnati Commercial Tribune

IC1nc1nnau1 COmm6rcldl IIluuuo.J
The number of farms in the United
States in 1890 was, in round numbers,
4, 500, 900. They made up an aggregate
of land under cultivation, leaving out
woods and pasture lands, of 557, 6OO, DOC
acres, and, according to Mr.. st. John, the
farmers are losing from 81 to SO an acre
each year, and if the average be put at
$1.50 an acre per year, it will be seen
that the farmers are scoring a yearly loss
of $737, 900, 900. 1t is evident from this
that in less than ten years they will lose
more than 81, 600. 600, 600, or nearly one-
third of all the assessed property, real
and personal, in the United States. This
is a monstrous statement.
But, in spite of the assertion that the
farmers are losing $500. 600. 600 every
year, the fact remains that their crops,
grown out of the ground in 1890, aggre-
gated in value SO, 400, 900 900. If the
farmers were spending $40 an acre on
their lands and were only getting So back,
their annual product should have been
worth less than 81 100. 600, 600. whereas it
was more than 50. AGO, 600, 900. 1t is
plain, then, that Mr.. st. Johns state
meuts of the distress of the farmers is
exaggerated. But there is another test.
The assessed value of all farms in the
United States in 1880 was $40. 1917, 000,-
600. In 1890 It was $13, 27S, 900, 900.

NOTES AND

In less than four weeks the fate of the
nation will be decided. What a tremen-
dous responsibility for the voter.
The free silver men have been making
strenuous efforts to dislodge Senator Hill,
but he still holds his place on the ridge
pole at Wolfert's Roost. Davy is think.
ing, and his ponderous mind works
slowly.
Mr.. Bryan must be a man of unbounded
faith as we'll as full of assurance. The
New York Journal quotes him as writing
that paper last Saturday as follows: 81
have no doubt of my election. The Re.
publicans who have declared for free
silver outnumber the Democrats who
have deserted the ticket; and while the
number of silver Republicans is increas.
ing all the time, the number of boiling
Democrats is all the time decreasing"
1t seems strange that at such an inon.
portuIe time the great law of supply and
demand should come in just now to upset
the splendid theories of the free silver
advocates, as shown by the steady rise in
the price of wheat, because Europe is
obliged to buy from us to make good a
short crop. 1t has been claimed that the
price of wheat was kept down because
silver was demonetized, thus making a.
scarcity of money. There has been no
shange in the status of silver, except as
the same memorable law has affected it
and because of an increased production
the price has declined, showing that both
products are subject to the same laws of
trade, but that the one, because it pos
sesses a money quality, in no sense fixes
the price of the other.

The returns from the Georgia election
re riously discredit the Populist tail OF
the Bryan kite, as did those from Maine
the Democratic tail, and the kite is likely
to collapse in the November gale. The
Democrats carry Georgia by a reduced
majority. the Populists being showed
under and their power permanently
broken. The same is true in Florida,
and the Legislatures of these States being
Democratic and not Populistic, will likely
send Democrats to the United States Sen
ate and not Populists and obstructionists
as was the character of Senator Call, OF
Florida. Ex.Speaker Crisp will no doubt
be the new Senator from Georgia.

N. F. Riley, the Democratic candidate
for State Senator, boldly that
he is not a "gold bug" which would
imply, from 80 emphatic a declaration,
since the only real gold party is that of
the old.time Democrats, that he has left
the Democratic party and gone into the
camp of the free silver men. 1t is weil to
have his position SO clearly defined, so
that the voters may know what to do.
And beside it should be remembered that
the Senator elected this fall will have a
vote for United States Senator, and New
Jersey does not want to increase the
number in the United States Senate who
steadily block the business interests OF
the country in order to advance their
own ends.

A thorough canvass of the state Of
Illinois emoves all doubt about the state
going for Mckinley and Hobart. 1t is
almost certain that the Republican ma.
jority will be from $4,000 to 100. 600. and
it is probable that the latter figures will
be considerably surpassed. 1t is believed
that at least 60, 900 Democrats in the state
will repudiate Organism. In the city of
Chicago it is all one way. As the latest
report from that city says "Party lines
in Chicago are absolutely forgotten in the
universal purpose to bury Organism out
of sight," Good news of similar inn
portance is being received from all over.

The men who have been carried away
with free silver theories 8, should not for
get mi thing. Admitting for argument
that the free silver theory is correct, it
cannot come through the hands of Bryan
except it gets linked with free trade.
That same free trade policy is what hal
made these last four years the mosi
wretched that Americans have evel
known. Free trade has robbed the Gov
eminent of it's revenues, free trade has
robbed the workingman of his job, the
manufacturer of his trade, and the farmer
Of fair prices for his produce. Do people
want free silver if they have to have free
trade to get it ?.

To coin silver without any limit, under
the present conditions of production, is to
introduce a depreciating currency, a cur.
rency for which individuals are willing to
give less and less, because they do not
want it and will not take it except on
those terms. A depreciating currency
always g a loss, a tax that somebody
must pay. Every one who receives il
tries to escape loss by raising the price OF
the thing he sells. Yet he often fails, fol
when he turns buyer and seeks to <
change his money for something else he
learns that the seller of the thing desired
has raised the price 80 much that he is
worse off than he was before. This is the
uniform result of every attempt to use a
depreoiating currency.
