Congressmen and Seeds.

A ludicrous situation has grown out
of the difficulties of the seed bureau until
recently maintained by Uncle Sans De-
partment of Agriculture. Each member
of the Senate and House of Representa-
tives is entitled to fifteen thousand pack
ages of vegetable and fourteen hundred
packages of flower seed, which are put
up in bundles of five packages each and
delivered by the Department of Agricul-
ture in bags as ordered, but is compelled
to distribute them without assistance
from the Department, which causes a
great deal of discomfort. Under the old
plan all a Congressman had to do was
to write letter informing the Secretary
of Agriculture that he would like to have
packages of seeds from his allotment sent
to the persons whose names appeared on
list which he nclosed and the rest of
the work was done by the seed bureau.
But that seed bureau has been abolished,
and Congress, in opposition to the Sec
retary Recommendation ana III deflance
of his protests, required him to purchase
the seeds. Unfortunately for their own
comfort the Congressman made no pro-
vision for means to distribute them, and
the result is that most of the Senators
and Representatives are now buried I'M
der an avalanche of garden seeds which
they are finding it difficult to dispose of,
for they are required to address every
package separately and send it to the
Post-Ofice after making the appropriate
selections. The Postmaster has been
obliged to appeal to Congress for extra
help, as the bags of seeds are piled high
in the corridors of the Post Office build.

effect as being something like this: One
class says: Good scheme; something
ought to be done" The other class av-

the purchasing power of our circulat-
ing medium from $500, 100000 as at
present, TO about $500,O00,O00 Every
man Of intelligence knows the panic,
ruin and commercial disaster which
would be sure to follow. Mr.. Bryan
himself knows IL; for at Ackley, H.,
he admitted that the first effect of the
success of the free coinage demand
would be TO bring on panic. How
long would such a Panic last? VIII IL
be one year or five years? No man can
answer. IL would last until all bust
ness engagements would become nd
justed TO the radical changes in value.
No farmer needs TO be told that in times
of panic he cannot get good prices for
what he has to sell. Business panics
simply ruin the market, and he. being
forced to sell his crops as they are
raised, must sell for what he can get
at the time.
Now let us suppose we have reached
that period where business affairs are
becoming adjusted TO n debased cur
rency. The man who cats what the
farmer grows, is the man who works for
wages. All contmcts for wages are now
on the basis OF dollars equal in purch0s-
ing power to the present gold dollar.
When the panic is over, AMI prices OF all
commodities begin TO rise 20 level
corresponding TO the decline IN value OF
the dollar. what will be the position
OF the wagc-worker? His condition will
the farmer is 10 get, because IL Is his
purchases thnt will make the farmers
market. 10 Is n law absolute and I'M
cAangcable, that the wages are the last
thing 10 rise. His employees will grant
him an increase OF wages slowly. and
only when forced 10 do 80. There will
be struggle for years and years be-
tween employers and employees. and
wages will go up but slowly. This
means then that the purchasing power
Of his wages will for years be less than
now; consequently. he will be forced 10
buy less than at present This being so.
there viii be less market for wheat, and
meats and farm products generally. nn-
less the farmer will sell more 10 him
for the same amount OF money. In
stead. therefore. Of getting better prices
for what he has TO sell, the farmer
will find his market restricted. because
the worklngman's wages arc changed
but little and that slowly, and the prices
Of his products will be exactly IN pro-
portion 20 the purchasing power OF the
wages OF the workingmnn.
Instead. therefore. OF getting twice
