This hesitancy has been the bane of

equalities had it not been for the sword

Facts About Prices.
Bangor News.)

The farmer is told by the silver agi-
tators that the so-called demonetiza-
ton of silver in 1873 has brought down
the prices of farm products. Let us
see. Commissioner Wright's table of
average prices of 246 articles from 1910
to 1891 shows that from 1860 to 1891
the average fall in prices was 72i per
cent. This average was greatly in
creased by the fall in prices of manu-
featured articles. the average reduc-
ton in that class of products being
about - per cent. Some articles. like
steel rails. wire nails and kerosene oil
fell so per cent, and others only 10 or
l. per cent. Agricultural products, on
the whole, actually advanced in price
> per cent. between 1860 and 1891. The
only two agricultural products that
fell in price We're cotton and wheat.
Other products of the farm rose on
the average from to Is per cent. 1t
is significant fact in this connection
that the l6 to l men contine them
selves pretty closely to wheat and cot
ton when they talk to farmers about
the fall in prices.

The letter, published elsewhere, of a
prominent Texas gentleman residing
near the Mexican frontier should be
read by all interested in the silver
question. 1t clearly points out the
effects of free coinage in Mexico upon
the purchasing power of a silver dol
lar worth more. intrinsically, than the
silver dollar Of the United States. But
especially should be noted the effect
upon the wage worker Mexican rail
road employees are receiving the same
wages today when the Mexican dollar
will buy but SO cents worth as they
were in 1870 when it would purchase
goods to the value of $l.10. Practical
ly the same blow would be inflicted
upon the wage Garner of the United
States if the free coinage scheme wer,

law stopping the free coinage of silver.
Even then the fabricators did not stop.
They circulated an extract from Hoop
er's speech, into which they DELHI
erately put words he never uttered to
show that Seyd had been in this coun-
try at the time. Not much is now said
about the charge OF corruption but the
free silver tracts are still full of the
statements to the effect that the law
vas passed by trick. when as the
records show it was before Congress
two years and ten months before it
was passed, was printed no less than
thirteen times. and nobody thought of
calling the law bad names until the
overproduction of silver lowered the
price and turned the attention of the
silver mine owners to the undertaking
Of getting the law repealed. This UNI

half truths and appeals to prejudice.
And they are still at it.
They are giving the people to under
stand that the government will stand
behind silver dollar under free Cola
age .ust as it now does behind the
silver dollar coined under the Sherman
law. 1t is not so. But it is impossible
within these limits to run to earth half
the fallacies which are so numerous
that one acquainted with the truth
wonders if this is the best free silver
can do in the way of argument.
We would avoid harsh names in this
discussion. but when a misstatement

would not imply that all. who favor

but they cannot make use of
those stock falsehoods we have
referred to, or if they do are ig-
aorant of the truth, which is more like

mind that from Bryan down the long

principally in metaphors and slittering
generalities. A man calling himself

garbled extract was taken is one of
the strongest arguments against the
free coinage programme of the Popo-

yet just enough of it was taken by ana
free silver advocates to make it appear
that Mr.. Blaine favored in 1873 what
they favor today. They dare not

One Democrat Entirely Satisfied.


Mr. Mckinley rose yesterday fairly
and squarely up to the demands Of the
situation. In words which will warm
the heart of everyone who is concerned
for the honor of our country, he de-
clared that in the future every dollar
paid out by the government, whether
to bondholders or pensioners. sbould
have the value Of gold dollar. as il
had had that value in the past He
was especially happy in recalling 10
the old soldiers the distinguished ser
vices Of their great commander, Grant
in Vetoing the imitation bill and in
signing the act that at once made the
credit Of our country unsurpassed by
restoring the gold standard of value
1t is greatly 10 be desired that in this
campaign the issue of national honor
shall be made prominent. Appeals to
the selfish interests Of classes may be
effective, but they cannot arouse much
enthusiasm. But appeals to loyalty
and patriotism will be Irresistible.
They cannot be met by the free silver
advocates. The strongest motives to
which they can appeal are the desire
TO gain by dubious measures, and the
emotion of envy. These are at times
powerful motives but they stand no
chance Of prevailing when honor is on
the other side. Many plain people are
confused by the intricacies Of numeri-
cal ratios Of values and coinage. and
by confounding money and capital:
but they can grasp the simple issue of
maintaining the good faith of the gov
ernment. ON this ground an aggres-
sive campaign can be fought, and the
advocates of cheap money compelled
to explain away their own proposals.
Whatever uncertainty may have ex-
listed as to Mr.. McKinley's disposition
in the past. there is no room for doubt
as to the future. Nothing more ex-
plicit can be asked than the pledge
that, as every dollar of the debt of
the government up to this hour has
been paid in gold or its equivalent. the
st-recognized money of the world so
every dollar of that debt yet to be
paid win be paid in the same unques-
toned coin. With this pledge the be-
levers in sound money can go up to
the battle with good cheer.
