that every man that works making this

In 1877 the average value of the hay
crop in the United States was $500 per
ton. The following year it dropped to
$500, and in 1879, the year next ensuing,
it jumped up to S0.32 per ton.
Again: In 1891, when this country
was firmly on a gold basis, the average
value of the hay crop was $40 per ton.
In 1892 it fell to S6.73 per ton, and in
1898 it rose to $S.6S per ton. Last year
The average value was $3.50 per ton.
Assuming that the fall in prices is
due 10 the "crime of 1879" how are
these fluctuations to be accounted for?
Will some Bryanite explain also why it
is that the average value of the hay crop
per ton was greater in 1895, when we
were on a gold basis, than it was in
1878. when gold was at premium?
Hay has undoubtedly declined in price
since 1873. but why should it not have
done so? Apart from cheaper methods
of production and cheaper rates of
transportation, the annual hay crop in
creased from $685. 100 tons in 1878 to
65. 766,15s tons in 1898. Last year 1t
amounted to about 100000.
At the same time the number OF
horses in the United States increased
only from 9,222. 40 in 1873 to 15,s93.3i5
in 1895. II is estimated that there are
nearly 100000 fewer horses in this
country to-day than there were three
years ago.
These plain facts and figures should
not be hard to comprehend. Let the
farmer study them before he allows
himself to be hoodwinked by free silver
demagogism.
