THE FAR1ERS' INTERESTS.

From the practical busin lessons OF lite is where

thinks himself this raj in the value of wheat
fords splendid object les SON.
On last Saturday in Nj ller bushel of wheat was
worth Mexican free silver dollar; that doaris worth
only 90 cents and would buy only so cents worth of
any commodity, because the silver in that dollar is
worth only 80 cents in The: markets of the world. If
we adopted free coinage 16 to I the democrats
want our dollar would only be worth 80 cents. They
would be debased dollars. establish standard,
and disaster in all business transactions, all

The extent of Cur needs the govcrnn,c guarantees

price of so cents That is the real situation regards
this free silver question 1t is plain and simple, and
clearly demonstrated by of wheat being

Now farmer reader, let US canddly and honestly
consider the which will effect the price of your
wheat and everything else you raise. Let us look at
it in business way regardless of your past political
likes and dislikes.
You know that confidence is large element of con-
sdenation ifgaabusiness transactions, and stated

Mckinley announced to be the victor, wave of
confidence will spread over this country which will fa

WHICH INSTANTLY MAKES AN INCREASED DE

FARM, and the moment that increased demand is as

In 1892, under President Harrison and the McKin
lev law the people of the United States consumed
ly 175 OOO 600 bushels of wheat than they did
in 1895, under the Wilson law and democratic admin
istration. These facts, and if any disputes
them we will produce the absolute proof. OF course
we have more people in this country than in 1892
and vet they less of your products. The
son is simple and plain. Labor employed in 1892
and business prosperous, while IN 1895 thousands
of faborers idle and business wasparaly lyzed. Thus
in 1892 people each consumed 212 more bushels
of wheat than in 1895. The world knows nearly
what the supply of wheat is right 1t also knows
how much consumed last year and in 1892. So,
YOU see, the world will naturally know that Mckin

there will snrely be to protection and 1l5,

this country than present-and probably much more
than that Thus have increased demand
for wheat, because will consume more and inlmed

to wheat There will be an in creased demand for cat
