one ounce of silver. From 1875 to 1880,
while silver was going down, the aver
age price of wheat at Bombay rose to
$1.49 per bushel. Between 1881 and
1885 the average price of wheat at Bonn
bay was $1.10 per bushel, and from 1856
to 1890 $1.01 per bushel, although silver
had been tending upward. From 1891
to 1893 the average price of wheat at
Bombay was % cents per bushel Had
wheat followed the price of silver it should
have beer only 6S cents per bushel
Cotton exports from India to Europe
have been equally at variance with
the theories advanced by Mr. Bryan.
In 1874 India exported 1,23G,SS2 bales
and in 1875 1,241, 526 bales. During
the five years following it's cotton ex-
port was below 100000 bales. In
1879 it was only GAL, 45S bales. During
the FIVE years ending with 1895 the cot
ton export from India has been steadily
decreasing. In 1891 it was 1,02S, All
bales: in 1892, $4,000 bales: in 1893,
S57.771 bales; in 1894, 797, 07O bales; in
1896, 625,OOO bales. In contrast with
this the United States exports of cotton
have been steadily increasing. In 1890
they amounted to 5,020,91 bales; in
1891, 5.S20.779 bales; in 1892, 1891 al
bales; in 1893. ABB 800 bales; in 1894,
5,397 500 bales; in 1895, $685. 1853 bales.

The farming industry Is unquestiona-

ing, where they have become competitors
with the men who formerly supplied
them with food. If the free-trade 11,xsc--
ment led by Mr.. Bryan goes on to its
natural conclusion, whole lines Of in
dustry which have survived the Wilson
bill will be ruined and hundreds of thou
sands of employees will be thrown OUT
of work.
The conclusion ought to be plain
to every thoughtful man engaged In ag-
riculturai pursuits. We cannot afford to
reduce our wage rates to those of for
eign countries. We must make for our
selves all articles needed for our ordi-
nary, everyday uses, importing only
such luxuries as foreign countries have
special facilities for producing. Tariff
for revenue only means the ruin OF the
farmer and tariff for protection means
well-employed town and city popula-
tion and good home markets for every
thing the farmer has to sell.

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

81 would willingly defend free trade
with my life" said Mr.. Bryan in his first
speech in Congress, and as he ~ low
defending free silver with his tongue
only it is easy to see TO which policy he
is most devoted.
Democratic orators and organs may
evade the tariff, but the workingmen OF
the country cannot, for to them it pre-
sents the unavoidable issue Of work and
prosperity or idleness and poverty.
While the Popocrat demagogues are
shouting Down with the rich" the
Republican party advances with the cry
up with the poor" and proposes the
enactment of measures that will provide
work for the workers and prosperity
for all.
Sam Jones is nothing If not express
sive. He declares that he would rather
climb ladder with an armful of cells
tnan to undertake to fuse with the mid
dle-of-the-road-Populi
The workingman does not want a
cheaper dollar. He wants steady en-
pioyment paid for in dollars as good as
gold.
The simplest way to elect Mckinley Is
to vote for him, Mr.. Bourke Cochran OBJ
serves to his fellow Democrats, and that
remark contains all the wisdom OF oil
the ages.
The one question Bryan never answers
is the simple one, How about free
trader
The Bryan party Is made up of all
kinds of factions, led by all sorts OF
cranks, and if it should get into office 1t
couldn't work together.
In denouncing wealth the Democratic
organs are consistent with their party,
for it has done everything it could to
make the people poor and keep them so.
The Republican pledge to promote the
free coinage of silver by international
agreement offers the only solution of the
money problem which good business men
can accept, and for that reason even the
Democrats among them are working with
the Republican party this year and will
vote for Mckinley.
Any Popocrat who believes that Bry-
an can carry Kentucky when Palmer Is
native and Buckner native and resi-.
dent of the Blue Grass state, doesn't
know the Kentucky nature.

THINGS TO REMEMBER.
Nine Points About Silver and Protec
ton.

Nine Points About Silver and Protec-
ton.
First-That there is not free coinage
country in the world today that is not
on a silver basis.
Second-That free coinage will not
raise the price of American wool one
cent while foreign wool is coming in free
of duty aud is crowding American wool
out of the home market.
Third--That there is not a gold stand
ard country in the world that does not
use silver along with gold and keep it's
silver coins worth twice as much as their
bullion value.
Fourth-That the free coinage of silver
will not start single factory in this
country, when under the Democratic tar
if the products of foreign labor are
shipped into this country cheaper than
they can be made here.
Fifth-That there is not a silver stand
ard country in the world that uses any
gold as money along with silver.
Sixth-That free silver coinage will
not create a demand for labor when
Democratic free trade makes the supply
many times greater than the demand.
Seventh-That there is not a silver
standard country in the world today that
has more than one-third as much money
in circulation per capita as the United
States has.
Eighth-That free silver is not going
to increase the price of nor the demand
for farm products SO long as the Ameri-
can workingman, who is the principal
consumer, is kept in idleness by trans
ferring his work to the hands of foreign
workmen through the medium of free
trade.
Ninth-That there is not a silver-stand-
ard country in the world where the Ia
boring man receives fair pay for his
days work, and it is largely these mems
products that have come into this coun-
try by the grace of Democratic free
trade, and wiped out the prosperity we
enjoyed prior TO 1S93.-Zanesville Times.

Free Silver and Degradation.

Labor, today, has reached it's crisis.
This is a very simple proposition, to
anyone who looks at it with common
sense and reason, but one on which
hangs the fate of labor. If labor votes
for Bryan and free silver, it votes away
one-half of its wages. 1t will vote its
organizations and unions out of exist
ence. For degraded labor that is drug
on the market, too poor to save penny,
too feeble to lift its head against wrong
and oppression. cannot maintain an or
ganization against power and wealth.
1t will vote its children into ignorance
and toll from their earliest years. 1t
will vote it's women into the tilling of
its fields, into drudgery in brick yards
and into slavery in the very mines which
silver men will operate for their own
advantage, at the expense of everyone
in the United States who works for
wages. 1t will vote itself into bondage
from which it cannot escape in our day
and time. The statistics of every free
silver country in the world viii prove
this proposition to be true.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1896-09-29

Bryan's hope of success is grounded
wholly on the late p. II. Barnum's the
ory that fool is born every minute.
Paste it in your hat that free coin
age and free trade, the great pair of
panic-producers, go hand in hand in this
campaign. You can't support the one
without voting for the other.
Mr.. Bryan is too confidential with his
audiences for dignity--almost plaintive,
sometimes, in his appeals to them TO say
whether or not be "looks like an anarch-
ist."
