What 10 to Has Never Done.

1t has never kept gold and silver at a
parity
1t has never once given us. under free
coinage, practical bimetallism-that is,
the concurrent circulation of gold and
silver.
The ratio of sixteen to one was
adopted in 1894. 1t represented the
then commercial ratio, the market val
ues of the two metals.
In the 40 years following the adoption
Of this ratio and up to 1874 there were
coined less than 100000 silver dol
lars, or not so many by 100000 as were
coined from January to July in this
year
And never during the whole period
did gold and silver circulate freely to
gether as equal money. What reason has
Mr.. Bryan for his firm conviction"
that they will do so now under free
coinage, when the difference in the com
merical ratio is far greater than at any
time during the period from 1884 70
1873?

Not only is the tariff on live sheep
reduced, but putting wool on the free
list has further diminished the value
of every sheep in the state. The re-
duction of duties upon vegetables and
dairy products has been especially dis
astrous to the farmers and truck gar
deners along the borders.
The Republican platfor n in addition
to its general pledge of protection to
American industries has I've following:
'To all our products--t those of the
mine and the field, as wei as TO those
of the shop and factory-to hemp, to
wool, the product Of the great industry
of sheep husbandry, as well as to the
finished woolens of the mill-we prom
Use the most ample protection"
Do the farmers of Michigan want
this pledge carried out or do they want
four years more of the Wilson tariff?

How Conditions Have Changed.

There is such thing as laying too
much stress upon a fact that existed at
one time, without reference to the con-
ditions under which it existed. And
that is just wat the FREQ silver men
are doing. From 1856 to 1860, for in.
stance, the silver dollar was admitted
to free coinage, at the ratio of Is To /,
without causing any arrangement of
our finances, but it does not by any
means follow that the same thing could
be done now. From 1856 to 1860 the
average annual product of gold in the
world was $3.50, 262 ounces and of silver
%. O95, 42s ounces, or As ounces of sill
yer to one of gold. In 1892 the gold
product of the world was 7,1O2, $50
ounces and the silver product was
153.151,762 ounces, or 2147 times as
many ounces Of silver as of gold And
the disparity is nearly as great now as
it was then. Besides that in the
former period all European countries
were coming silver as standard money.
Now they are not.
Arguing from the first and previous
periods to the present without taking
into account these changed conditions
is the shallowest of foolish reasoning
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1896-09-11

The government bought the silver
bullion contained in the silver dollar
at very much less than its coinage
value. 1t paid it out to its creditors,
and put it in circulation among the
people, at its face value of 100 cents,
~ full dollar. 1t required the peo-
pie to accept it as a legal tender, and is
thus morally bound to maintain it at a
parity with gold, which was then, as
now, the recognized standard with us,
and the mos. enlightened nations of
the world. The government having
ssued and circulated the silver dollar,
It must, in hohor, protect the holder
from loss. This obligation it has so
far sacredly kept. Not only is there a
moral obligation, but there is legal
obligation, expressed in public statute,
90 maintain the parity.-McKnleys

There was nothing that furnished the
Democrats quite SO much satisfaction
during the first part of the Cleveland
administration as the abrogation of the
reciprocity treaties that had been ne
gotiated by Mr.. Blaine. The Demo
Gratis seemed to have particular spite
against Mr. Blaine and were in great
glee whenever one of his carefully pre-
pared treaties was wiped out. 1t is
true those treaties were making such
markets as we never had before for our
farm products and manufactures but
that made no difference; they were
Blaine's work and they must go, and
go they did, with sorry results as re-
CARDS trade.

the first full year of the WilsonGor-

But without continuing the details
at tedious length it may be stated that
the aggregate exports of agricul tural
products in ls92, under the Mckinley
tariff and Blaine reciprocity treaties,
were valued at S79o, 39s, 232; and in
1895, under the Wilson tariff, they were

There is one thing more about prices.
Ian. /. 1892. IA bushel of barley would

1t would buy only Ga pounds. Jan. 1,
800, one barrel of onions would buy
80 pounds of sugar; Jan. /, 1896, it
would buy only II pounds. AT the
former date one barrel of potatoes
would buy % pounds of sugar, and at
the latter II pounds. At the former
date bushel of wheat would buy 264

ley tariff, sugar was cheaper and grain
crops brought a better price than
