Money value of 500 pounds in 1895 at sO.0T 80
per pound, 500.
or 81. 58 cents per pound, in eight years,
Under our present financial system the
price has only fallen $50 per bale, or II
cents per pound, in % years. In face of
these official figures how can any intel
ligent man pretend that it was the
change in our currency laws in 1878
which has reduced the money value of
cotton?
The advocates Of free silver may at
tempt to answer this exposure of their
low price for cotton argument by show
ing that there was great increase in
the cotton crop between 1865 and 1878.
This is true, but there has also been a
far greater quantity of cotton produced
every year since 1878 than ever BEFORE
the crop for 1892 reaching 9,035, 379
bales as compared with $3.50, sos bales
in 1878, the largest crop during the
period from 1865 to 1878, so that if in
creased production caused the great de-
cline in price in one case it is surely
fair to credit it, and not the stoppage of
free silver coinage, with the lower prices
of the past % years.

WOULD HURT INSTEAD OF HELP.
How Free Coinage Would Injure the
Farmers.

How Free Coinage Would Injure the
Farmers.
The chief strength Of the Is to agi-
tation lies in the belief that it would
benefit the agricultural classes. This is q
serious error. The facts of all human
experience show conclusively that free
silver would cause widespread and pro-
lenged injury to the farmers of this
country.
The mere threat of free coinage would
greatly injure the farmers by causing
an immediate calling in of all loans
through the natural desire of lenders to
get back money worth as much as they
lent. Hundreds of thousands of farmers
would be unable to pay their mort
cages, and their farms would be sold at
a sacrifice No new loans would be
forthcoming, as the owners of capital
would not invest SO long as there was
any danger that by change in the
money standard the value of loans
would be cut in two. AS the chief COM
plant, of the farmers now is that inter-
est is too high and capital too scarce,
the effect of policy which would make
capital scarcer and dearer can be figured
out by each farmer for himself.
A second way in which free coinage
would hurt agriculture would be by the
financial panic which would inevitably
follow the overthrow Of our present
sound financial system and the adoption
of the unstable cheap silver standard
With the millions of bank depositors
demanding their savings the machinery
of credits, by which so large a part of
the country's business is done, would be
suddenly stopped. Merchants would be
unable to buy goods for lack of credit;
manufacturing industries would be clos
ed down, as in 1898, and millions of
workers would be idle. Men out of en-
ployment do not buy as much farm
products as when they are at work, and
the farmers who now complain of the
lack of markets for their produce would
find themselves with a large part of
their crops unsold. Would not this be
serious injury to agriculture?
Another evil which free coinage
would bring to American farmers would
be the unsettlement of their trade reIa-
ton with the great gold standard COM
mercial nations, which purchase each
year $500, 900, 900 worth of our surplus
farm products. The adoption of the sill |
yer standard, with it's constantly fuctu-
ating scale of prices, would prove the
same barrier to commerce between this
and other countries that it has to trade |
between gold standard Europe and In
dia, China and Japan. Do the farmers
want to eurtail and unsettle our foreign
trade?
These are some of the ways in which |
free coinage at Is to would hurt the
farmers? No advocate Of 50 cent dollars
has ever been able to show single way
in which it would help them.

FREE SILVER AND THE PRICE OF COT
TON
POpulist Statistics Which Prove Sound
Money Statements.

PopuIist Statistics Which Prove Sound
Money Statements.
The Arena, Populist magazine, pub
fishes series of pictures intended to
show the great decrease in the pu~chas-
ing power of bale of cotton, owing to
the alleged "demonetization" of silver.
The money value of the first bale is given
as $416. 90 in 1865. The next in the
same series is for 1870, when the money
value had shrunk to $1,000. Other
pictures give the varying values down
to 1894, the conclusion from the whole
being that the lack of free silver has
caused the fall in the price of cotton.
How false this argument is can be
seen by looking at the figures quoted.
Between 1865 and 1870 the price of cot
ton fell from 83. SO cents per pound to
23.9 cents By 1878, the year Of the
crime, . the price had gone down to
10. 80 cents. In other words, the money
value of bale of cotton shrank from
$416.90 in 1866 to 1914, difference
of 1922. 80, while the country had free
coinage of silver at Is to /. Since that
time the fall in price has been much
less, having been only from 1914 in 1878
to $39 in 1895 at the present quota
tions of 100 cents per pound.
The history of cotton prices shows,
therefore, that under free silver the
price of bale of cotton declined 1922. 80,

10 man who has no money there are
several ways to get it-namely:
(a) Beg it,
(b) Steal it,
(c) Borrow it.
(d) Secure it by gift.
(e) Trade something for it,
If we are to beg for it, we might just
as we'll do the best we can. Therefore a
dollar based on a gold standard is better
than Is to silver dollar, which today
is worth about 53 cents intrinsically.
If we are to steal it, we want the best.
A thief who would steal a silver dollar
i'll preference to gold dollar would be
acquitted on the ground that he was in
sane
It we borrow it, we want that kind OF
money which will go farthest, for SO we
can get along with smaller loan.
Therefore a gold dollar is better to bor-
row than a 16 to l silver dollar
If we are to secure it by gift, certainly
we should not depreciate that which we
are about to receive.
THIS brings us to e, which is the
way most money is obtained. A peril
nent question for each Of us to ask at
this time is, What have l got to trade
for money which | want? It may be
labor; it may be a horse or COW; it may
be lumber Or shingles; it may be a saw
mill. At the present time we can trade
any Of the above and get a gold dollar
for every dollar worth of value, as may
be agreed upon between buyer and sell
er. We can get dollar which is worth
a dollar anywhere and everywhere.
Now, your labor or horse or COW or
lumber or machinery will be worth just
as much, or nearly as much, next year
as it is this, but if we have free coinage
at 6 to l will the dollar which you get
IN trade be worth as much as the dollar
you can get now? What will that be
worth? Can you tell? 1t may be worth
53 cents or more or less One day this,
one day that, but can any one tell:
These are all pertinent questions and,
when carefully considered, must guide
US III voting at the next election in No
vember, and do not lose sight of the fact
that if all the silver in the world is
coined into money you cannot geta cent
ct it except by a, b, c, d or e, above re-
