HOW THE FARMERS WILL VOTE.
1t VIII Be for Markets and Not for Fifty
Dollars.


There are multiplying evidences that
the assumption which has given the
popocrats so much comfort TO the eff
feet that the farmers are COR free sill
ser, Is based upon erroneous informa-
ton.
1t has been claimed that the CON
gressional contest down in the Eipht
eenth Illinois district, in which Hadley.
sound money candidate, defeated Lane.
a free siiverite, was not fair test of
:hc sentiment of the agriculturists ON
the currency question. Interviews with
Legitimate farmers from all over the
state by Chicago meat packers and
commission merchants, however. fur
nish facts that will be revelation to
the popocrats, and 20 far toward con-
firming the deductions made from the
verdict in the Eighteenth district. In
Nestigations by Chicago packers, who
buy directly from the farmers and stock
raisers, indicate that those who are ac-
tualiy engaged in farming as business
are almost unanimous for Mckinney
and for the maintenance of the present
standard FOR the measure of values.
II this is true il means that the cause
OF honest money will win n sweeping
victory in illinois, for the only cause of
apprehension among sound money
champions has been the apparent un-
certainty rs TO the attitude of the farm
ers on this question. If the rural nom
ulation of Illinois is for sound money
nothing can defeat il. for the ware
ehrners in the big cities, who have
nothing TO sell but their labor, are nj
ready satisfied that there is nothing in
free silver at sixteen to one for them.
Even with as large a city as Chicago.
within its limits the rural population
"utvotes the city population by 100, 600
or more. In 1894 the total vote cast by
al parties in cities of 5000 and over in
Illinois was 3S0,257. The total vote
cast that year was 500 ,26G, leaving 49,
COZ, which was cast by the farmers
and the inhabitants of the smaller
towns ard villages. who are nearly al
ways closely identified with agricultu-
raj pursuits and who constitute the
backbone of the commonwealth moral
j. and intellectually.
The farmers are beginning to realize
That what they need is not u larger cir
culating medium, consisting largely of
a debased currency, but Il larger and
better market for their products. This
can only be secured by the Mckinley
policy of protection, which enlarges The
home market by stimulating the devel-
opment OF industries that build up new
communities of wage earners, who con
same breadstufrs, and by the restora-
ton OF reciprocity, which sent millions
OF barrels of flour to Cuba and other
countries and opened the ports OF Eu-
rope TO our meat products.
The farmers will vote for markets for
their products md not for jO-cent dol
lars.-Chicago Times Herald.

FREE SILVER PROMISES.
A Sop Thrown Out to Catch All Kinds
NOtea.


Senator Thurston coupled neatlr =,
his speech ut Madison the two promises
OF the free silverites. One of tbese
promises is that the free coinage of
their favorite metal at the ratio 81 six.
teen to one will give the farmer highe,
prices for all his products. The othex
IS that IL will make silver wortl. 120
cents an ounce all over the world.
according to Bland the silver bullion in
collar Is worth about - cents. Free sill.
yer coinage would raise the price OF silver
10 10 cents an ounce, and the silver I'm AZ,
American dollar would be worth on. dol.
lar In gold the world ever, even without
government stamp on it."
but II free coinage is going to make
the silver dollar intrinsically as vaIua-
Die as that gold coin which Altgeld calls
"A 2OO-cent dollar, how is the farmer go.
ing TO get n higher price for his wheat
and corn and the planter for his cot
ton? The free coinage dollars being of
the same value as the gold dollars will
BUY just as much of ali products as
they do and prices will be as low as they
are.
Senator Thurston states the case
thus.
My countrymen. did You ever stop 70
thihk that N the free coinage Of silver will
bring silver bullion back TO its old-tirne
price there VIII be none OF this increase in
I'e price OF products. none Of this increase

this country OF rise In values. OF more

proposition that the new standard OF value

in which We live"
The free silvcritcs make these two n,
reconcilable promises, but they are ad.
dressed TO different constituencies

consumption. The mine-owners like
to hear that talk. Free coinage. with

particularly, except Sc far as IL gave
them cheaper dollars with which to pay
their debts.
The promise of higher prices is to

There is n third promise. however.
which Senator Thurston did not men.

They do not want silver TO advance

REED RENOMlNATED.

In Accepting tho Honor He Speaks Upon
the Financial Question with TeIIiny

AT Portland. Me-, Thursday, August
o. lhomas IL. Reed was renominated by
reclamation for congress by the repub-
llcan convention of the First district,
In his acceptance of the honor he spoke
upon the financial question as follows:

Chicago Platform "A Fraud.
THE only question is what monetary
system Is the best You hear a great deal
about bimetallism The platform Of the
Chicago convention was not a blnotallic
platform. and don't let them try and make
you believe that birnetallism is what they
are after. The object OF bimetallisn1 is to
give TO the currency greater stability by
spreading IT over the surface A very conn
mon illustration OF II is this: II you have n
lake anywhere and II il subject TO all the
peculiar incidents Of the region I'm which
II Is. this rainfall may lift II. that drought
may lower IT. Now, IL YOU want n perfectly
stable surface you have got to get IL by some
appearance outside of the lake Suppose
You can join IL 10 another lake i'm n different
climate which f. differently affected IL
you Join them perfectly together then there
VIII be the same level in both lakes and the
disturbances in one will be counter-bal-
nnced by the disturbances in the other
lake, and the tendency will be to have a
steadicr level. That will all be perfectly
true, provided your two lakes do balance
and you get n more stable current
Now, there is some reason and sense i'm
the idea that the whole world IL II took
Sold and silver at n proper ratio, could
preserve n greater level of prices, tirmer
and more stable level Of prices This no
single country could do. But II one of the
lakes was very violent in its fluctuations,
l think the part of common experiences
woud be to leave IL out. or II that lake
was not big enough to have proper effect
In short, under some circums stances the
Two lakes might be worse than n single ono
might he. However. that is a question OF
legitimate discussion. But in this case IL
Is not proposed to have two lakes. 1t is
proposed to say that we have two lakes

have not. tApplGuse.l
