THE PRICE OF WHEAT.
It's Decline Is Due to the Introduction of
L~abOr-Saving Machines.


The advocates of the free coinage of
silver have made many disciples in the
West because they have told the farmers
that the decentralization of silver was
the cause of the fall in the price of
wheat. and they have said that if silver
were restored to its rightful place in our
monetary system the price of wheat
would rise to 81 a bushel or thereabouts.
Ihe prevalence of n belief in this argu-
ment is a curious illustration of the will
lngness OF men to accept theories which
promise to them what they want even
when they have the proof of the fallacy
of those theories at their doors. All the
Western farmer has to do if he wants
to learn why the price of wheat has
fallen is to go into his barns and look at
his reaping and threshing machines. 1t
is not many years since the first reaper
was put on the market. 1t would do
the work of several men and it reduced
the cost to the farmer of raising his crop
of wheat. Then the reaper and binder
was invented and soon came the combi-
nation reaper. binder and thresher, which
still further reduces the cost of raising
his product. In 1883 wheat could be
produced on the big Dakota farms for
II cents a bushel. There is a para
graph going the rounds of the newspa-
DClS III SUMNER utStIlDlIS II tOIlDllIu-
ton harvester and thresher that has
recently been shipped to a farm at va
kima, Wash, to be used in harvesting
a big crop of wheat. The machine will
cut a swath twenty feet wide. will thresh
the grain and put it in sacks ready for
the market as it moves over the field. AS
the labor cost of Il product fixes its price
it was inevitable that the price of wheat
should fall when labor saving machinery
was used in its cultivation. The West
ern farmers have welcomed every inven-
ton that reduced their labor. They have
not been backward in buying the reapers
and binders and threshing machines.
They have used steam engines for power
and have burned the straw for fuel to
make the steam. utilizing every particle
of the product; but they have forgotten
hat all these things have forced the
price of their product down. They seek
a remedy now in the free coinage of sill
Yer, which they are told would double
the price of their crop in dollars. but
which would certainly cut the value Of
every dollar in two and leave them in a
worse position than that in which they
find themselves today. They are Just as
mistaken as the sawyer of England who
burned the first sawmill run by water
power that was set up and hanged the
proprietor. These men did not seek a de-.
basement of the currency. They object
ed to the introduction of labor saving ma
chinery because they did not know that it
would ultimately increase their wages
and improve their condition. The West
crlers have accepted the labor saving ma
chinery which has been the making of
thar region and they want to keep their
products at tn" price that prevailed before
the Introduction Of the rcapers.-Brook.

CAUSE OF HARD TIMES.
Foreigners Withdrawing Money in Fear
of Free Coinage and Populism.

Financiers tell us that the vaults OF
Europe are full of idle money and that
foreigners. who have more clearly per-
ceivcd the dangers of free coinage than
our W people. have been withdrawing
money from this country for years. The
Older civilizations of the world do not
offer favorable opportunities of invest
ment and until our people show IA prom
Use of honesty this gold will continue to
be boarded in European banks and safe
ty deposit vaults.
Those who are attributing the hard
times to the present monetary system
of the United States have only theory
upon which to base their arguments.
The country never enjoyed Il more pros
porous era than during the four years of
Harrison's administration under the
same sound money standard. In fact. all
through the sos times were generally
good. The election of a man pledged to
destroy the protective feature of our
revenue system and the presence of an
overwhelming majority of revenue men
only In both houses of Congress. max
ing certain the repeal of the Mckinley
tariff bill. first excited distrust and in
security among the manufacturers and
capitalists of the country. Nothing is
so timid as a million dollars except two
millions, is common phrase embOdying
a great truth. The want of confidence
becoming general capital became scarce.
Foreign investors withdrew their funds.
Credit was hard to get. Failures fol-
lowed and down the toboggan slide we
went until the people were eager and
ready to accept any theory. no matter
how hair-brained or visionary, as a So
luton of the impending difficulties.
Then it was that those malcontents
found their seed sown on fruitful soil.

pi exercised their baleful influence to
excite class against class. the employe
against the employer. the West against
the East. They have been instrumental
in breeding discomfort. in causing strikes
and creating Il condition of affairs that
must ultimately lead to anarchy. When
the Chicago rioters stopped the govern
ment mails. stoned trains and attacked
those who did not sympathiZe with them
in their lawless actions, a leader of this
movement and the governor of Il great
state denounced the federal government
for interfering with their destructive de-
signs.
1t is such men as Altgeld who have
done more to prevent the return of pros
perity than anything else. The people
must crush out now and forever the ele-
mcnt of society represented by the candi-
date of Populism. 1t will not do to
merely defeat them. They must be over
whelmed. Then and not until then will
the dawn of prosperity reappear. Then
rs the silver lunacy fades from the pub
lie view and general confidence returns,
our markets will again fall under the
control of natural developments and the
gold now stored up in the vaults of
Europe will return to America to be in

Want More of This?

The election of the Bryan ticket would
mean four years more of the industry
wrecking. la~bor-robbing, misunderstanding
Wilson-G German tariff. 1t would mean
enues and increasing deficits. 1t would
mean four years more of what we have
had during the past three years.
Have not the people had enough o.
this kind of experience? How is it with
the farmers? What is the Wilson-Gor-
man law doing for them?
Let us briefly cite: 1t knocks the
farmers wool market out with a free,
trade club.
1t knocks off 20 cents per bushel on
every bu>hel of onions If sells.
1t knocks off 2 cents per pound on his
butter.
1t knocks off 2 cents a pound on his
cheese.
1t knocks off 3 cents a pound on his
hams and bacon.
1t knocks off Is cents on every bushel
of his barley.
1t knocks off 10 cents ON every bush
el of his apples.
1t knocks off 3 cents on every dozen
of his eggs.
1t knocks off so cents ON every one
of his sheep.
1t knocks off 8 cents on every bushel
of bis oats.
1t knocks off 8 cents on every bust.
81 of his wheat.
1t knocks off 10 cents on every gallon
of his honey.
1t knocks off SO per head on his cat
tie and SO per head on his horses.
1t knocks off 10 cents on every bushel
of his potatoes.
1t knocks off { cents on every pound
of his hops. and ) cents on every bushcl
of his corn.
/, knocks off 50 on every ton of his
hay.
1t does more knocking off than this.
but this is enough to show that it is
time for the farmers, as well as the
re resentatives of all other American
industries to 20 to the polls and knock
ont the party that proposes to continue
in force the Wilson-tiorman tariff law.
The knocking off figures here given
show the difference in the duties on
in" ortS under the Republican protec-
tive tariff and the present non-proiec-
tive tariff. They show that the farmer
is hard hit by the WilsOn-Gorman law,
and that is what ais him today.
The sooner we get back to protection
the sooner will al American Industries
revive and prosperity be restored.

Plenty OF Gold.

There is 10 scarcity of gold. In the
forty-iivc years from 1851 10 1S9t the
total production of gold has been 50
SIO.:iS22J0. which is nearly twice tn
total production of the world in the 3JS
years before 1890. In lS9J the produc-
ton of gold was sos, WOo.OOO. and for
1896 il is estimated 10y the director of
the mint ut $50. 100000. This produc-
ton is far in excess of what the mines
of California and Australia turned out
at the time Of their greatest productive
ness.
The production of silver has greatly
increased since 1850. The trouble with
silver. as money for general transactions.
is that no coin can be made of ii larger
than 81. 4. man can carry $1,000 of
gold in his pocket as easily as he can
carry $50 of silver.-Louisyille CONNER
