Farmers want Cheap money.

The advocates of free coinage in the
west and south don't take any stock"
in Bryan's occasional assertion that be
contends that the adoption of this
policy would put up the price of silver
to $1.29. Indeed they would lose all
interest in the agitation if they sup
posed that the silver dollar under free
coinage was to be worth as much as
the gold dollar is now. The real senti-
ments of these people are clearly ex-
pressed by james Kitchen, an extensive
farmer isnd stockman of Grayson, KY,
who, when asked the other day why he
was for free silver, made this reply:
am for free silver because am in debt
and If we get free coinage can pay my debts
with one-half of what it now costs under our
present money standard. And another reason,
1 employ laborers my farm. They are the
creditors. ! am the debtor. Under free coin
age can pay them with one-half it costs me
now, for it wifi raise the price of products,
and can then hire my farm help for GO cents
day and pay them in bacon at Is cents a
pound.
1t must become more and more plain,
as the campaign proceeds, that this is
the motive and must be the result of the
free coinage agitation. The question at
issue will thus finally resolve itself into
the larger question, whether the Ameri-
can people still believe that honesty is
the best policy.

The Pensioners Dollar.

''You say you want little about the
old soldiers. Well, my friends, the
crisis which is approaching now, the
question before the country now, ap-
peals to the old soldier as much as it
did in 1861. 1 am not afraid that any
man who risked his life in his nation s
behalf is going to be Influenced by the
arguments that are addressed to the sol
diers now by the fnanciers,' etc.-Mr.
Bryan at Milwaukee, Sept. 5.
Not one word in answer to the ques-
tion whether the purchasing power of
the monthly pension payments to 970,
900 pensioners would be reduced by the
free coinage of 16 to silver dollars.
Not word as to the effect upon pen
sion payments hereafter Of the lex
termination of the 1900 cent dollar"
because it is worth too much and buys
too much.
We do not assume that veteran SOL
diers are thinking of nothing but pen
sions, but they should compel Mr..
Bryan to say frankly what would be
the effect of free coinage upon the pen
sioner's dollar.
Make him answer the question one
way or the other.

An ohtect Lesson In silver.

There is an American silver dollar.
There are two Mexican dollars. There
is more silver in each of them than in
the American dollar. bought both of
them for that. What is the reason? The
sole reason is that our dollar is limit
ed coinage, backed by gold. There is
another coin. That is French franc
piece. paid 95 cents for that 1t car
ries a little less silver than the Ameri-
can silver dollar. France and the Unit
ed States are both gold standard coun-
tries. They keep in circulation thou
sand millions of silver, and Mexico and
China and Japan have not got one dol
lar of gold in circulation. The gold
standard country can keep silver in cir
culation. The silver standard country
can keep no gold. That is the example
of every nation today. Gold all leaves
the free coinage country. Gold and sill
yer both circulate in the gold standard
countries. From Speech by Senator
Lodge

The Dollar of the Constitution.

Mr.. John Fiske, in his Critical
Period In American History, - describ-
ing the widespread distress caused by
the "cheap money in circulation just
after the Revolution, said: ''The worst
features of this financial device is that
it not only impoverishes people, but be-
muddles their brains by creating false
and feeting show of prosperity. = =
In such crisis the poorest people, those
who earn their bread by the sweat of
their brows and have no margin of ac-
cumulated capital, always suffer the
most. Above all men it is the laboring
man who needs sound money and stable
values -

Put This In Your Pipe.

If you are farmer with an overdue
mortgage or with one that must soon be
renewed, beware of free coinage. 1t
may get you into trouble. Dollars will
be cheaper with free coinage, just as they
now are in Mexico, but interest will
surely be nearly double what it is now,
or about equal to present rates in Mexi-
co and other silver standard countries.
Unless you are prepared to pay your
mortgage at once, you should study this
interest question before voting for cheap
dollars.
