Bryan shown to be Uncertain.

There is abundant proof that Mr..
Bryan Is an insincere politician and an
unreliable adviser Of the people. He
was n bOlter in 1898 and in that year,
too, he made a speech in which he de-
clarcd that the eXchangeable value of a
dollar depended on something besides a
congressional edict.
When Frank Irvine was running on
the Democratic tickle for judge of the
Supreme court of Nebraska Mr.. Bryan
supported n Populist. In reply 10 Il let
ter from Mr.. Irvine, calling Mr.. Bryan's
attention to his unexpected position, the
present candidate for President on the
Democratic ticket wrote a statement of
his reasons for boiling which contained
the following cool remarks and assure
ances Of personal and peculiar esteem
for the Democratic candidate:
/ regret that our people chose for slaughter
so deserving a man. They ought to
have selected some one OF the numer.
Gus Democrats who are responsible
for the falling OF Of the Democratic
vote. ! have spoken to you thus
frankly and contidentially. because
! feel that you deserve n better fate
than the one which | fear awaits you
this fall.
During the extraordinary session of
Congress of 1898, called by President
Cleveland, Mr.. Bryan made a speech in
which he declared that:
While the government can say that n given
weight OF gold or silver shall consti-
tute a dollar and Invest that dollar
with legal tender qualities. 1t cannot
fix the purchasing power Of the dol
lar. That must depend upon the
law of supply and demand.
IL the number OF dollars Increases
more rapidly than the need Of dol
lars-as II did after the gold discover
les 5f lSi0-thc eNchangeable value Of
each dollar will full and prices rise.
Thus it appears that Mr.. Bryan knew
what the c~xchangeable value of a dol
ldr depended on. His change of tune,
therefore, is not because conditions have
changed, hut because he shifts his prin-
ciples with the varying political breezes,
and that he is willing to do anything for
office.
In the spring of 1892 Bryan declared
question that the fall Of prices must be
attributed
To the Inventive genius that has multiplied
b thousand times, In many Instances,
the strength OF a single arm and
enabled us to do today with one man
what nifty men could not do fifty
years ngo. That Is what brought the
prices down In this country aud else
where.
At this time another change has come
over the spirit OF his white house
dream. He and his fellow Populists
ascribe the fall in the prices Of commod-
tiles TO the fall in the price of silver.

News has shown 10 have been no crime
at all, has pulled everything down with

who thus stultifes himself and puts him

while, at the same time. he proves I'M

Cheap Dollars.

Everything is cheap or dear according
to what we have to pay for it. Sugar IS
cheap at 5 cents a pound, but would be
dear at 10 cents.
A cheap dollar, therefore, is one that
the merchant buys with less goods than
he would have to give for n dearer dol
lar. If q merchant now gives twenty
pounds of sugar for a dollar, and the dol
lar which he gets is a 2OO-cent dollar;
and if the 200-cent dollar is n dishonest
dollar and ought to be replaced by II 100
cent dollar, worth only half as much; in
that case, the merchant will give only
half as much sugar for the cheaper dol
lar as he now gives for the dishonest
2O0-cent dollar. That is clear, is It not?
This is precisely what cheap money"
means.
Is this what the farmer and the work
ingman really want?
Apply this illustration to labor, Il you
please. The w%orkingmcl buys dollars
with labor. Does he want n cheap col
lar, for which the merchant will give
only ten pounds of sugar? Or does no
want Il 200-cent dollar, for which the
merchant will give twenty pounds of
sugar? Cheap dollars would cut his
wages in half. He surely does not want
that.

Question. Why Should Democrats Legis-
late in favor of the Canadian as against
the American Farmer?
A Pointer for Farmers.

I remember one instance that bears
particularly upon this question that came
to me today as l sat here, and that was
this: My father came from the New
England states upon this prairie in 1887.
He told me this instance once: That
after sowing a crop of wheat by hand.
cutting it with the cradle, binding il with
the rake, and threshing it with the ball
upon the floor, he put it upon a wagon
and drove it to this city of Milwaukee.
n~inety-six miles away, and sold It here
for 46 cents a bushel. This was in the
SOS, and silver then was $1.30 an n
Now tell the silver men to explain to YOU
how it was that in the early SOS wheat
was 46 cents a bushel, and silver 81. 80
an ounce. if the price of silver always
carries with it the price of wheat. And
when he hens and haws. say to him:
ut is not only confined to wheat, but
that other commodity you yoke up with
silver, cotton; and tell him that for the
four years ending in 1916 cotton in the
city of New York averaged only Z cents
n pound; and that for the four years
ending in 1894 the same class averaged
s cents a pound. Tell him to explain
that to you. That was when we had
free coinage and silver was then S1.30
an ounce. He cannot explain it. That

stroys the whole silver heresy.-Con-

FARMERS EGG BASKET
The Mckinley Law Checked I'm
portation and Gave q
Home Market.
EFFECT OF THE WILSON BILL.
The Canadian Farmer Has Protection
but the American Farmer
Has None.

There is no reason why Canada, Mexi-
co. China, or any other country should
supply the United States with a single
egg Canada does not buy a single egg
from us, and there is no reason why we
should buy from her. When we do, the
American farmer loses the benefit of part
Of his natural market.
The purpose of this article is to show
by a few figures the benefit which the
American farmer derived from the Nc
Kinley law; not merely because the
law stopped imports from other countries,
but because under that law he received
an average Of Is cents a dozen for his
eggs all the year around. Under the
present Wilson, German bill, he hardly
averages 5 cents a dozen; and the people
could better afford to pay Is cents a
dozen in 1892, than they can 5 cents a
dozen in 1896.
From 1883 to 1890, there wal no tariff
upon eggs. The Canadian farmer could
send his eggs across the line from Maine
Germany and other countries supplied
us with 15,500,000 dozens of eggs, an
nually, on the average We paid every
year to the foreign farmer on this small
product alone, at Is cents a dozen, 81
100000. This importation of over l.
100000 dozen a month or $4,000 dozen a
day was felt, in the way of competition,
by our farmers chiefly in the large cities.
Farmers cen get the best prices for eggs
and their products in the large cities;
but when New York, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, San
Francisco and many other markets are
supplied with eggs, shipped at cheap
rates of transportation by water, how
can the farmer expect to compete who
has to ship his eggs by rail?
The following statement shows impor-
iations of eggs, by countries, the year be-
fore the Mckinley tariff went into effect,
for the year ending June 80. 1889:
Importations Of eggs, by countries. July1

What stewart Thought in 1894.

Senator Stewart of Nevada made a
speech in Congress February II, 1874, in
which he said;
Let everybody know what a dollar is
worth. The farmers will then know how
to measure the difference in price be-
tween his wheat in Illinois and the wheat
in Liverpool. The wheat will be meas
ured by the same standard-gold-in
Illinois as it is in Liverpool and any man
can figure it up. But now it is q mys-
terry; the whole subject OF finance is a
mystery, and what do we see every day?
We see those who devote their attention
to it making large fortunes out of this
mystery. :.
Let us do as all the people of the world
have been doing from the beginning
measure our values by gold, adopt the
standard that all can understand, and
get rid of this mystery.
Mr.. Logan-What does the senator
want?
Mr.. Stewart-I want the standard gold,

A free-coinage law is reputation, and
that it is understood in that sense is in

Reducing this to gold, as in the original
statement, the net profit of the Mexican
farmer would be STG0, exactly what that
of the American farmer would be. This
Is a fair specimen of the illusory and
deceptive statements put forth by free
silver men TO deceive American farmers.
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1896-09-02

If the Mckinley law had been let
alone, the American farmer in 1896
would be supplying nearly every egg in
the American market. The farmers
wife would have felt encouraged to in
crease her stock of poultry, on which
she depended for pin money to clothe
herself and her children. When the
Mckinley law was repealed and the tar
if on eggs reduced from 5 cents to 3
cents a dozen, importation increased
100000 dozen in one year, at an in
creased price of $125,000. Unless the
American farmer can see it to be his in
terest to vote for Mckinley and the
restoration of a proper duty on eggs, the
Canadian and other foreign farmers will
soon again ship us 16,000,00 0 dozen a
year and the price of domestic eggs will
continue to decline. as they have done
for the last two years.
Question. Why Should Democrats Legis-
late in favor of the Canadian as against
the American Farmer?
The American farmer could not sell
eggs in Canada, even if they had no
tariff on American eggs. There are only
n few large cities there, and they are
near TO the Canadian cheap farms. The
half-a-dozen small markets in Canada
have n total population only o%ne-quartcr
as large as that of the city of New York.
A few election districts in the city OF
New York, or in Philadelphia, or in
Chicago, afford a better market for
American eggs than the whole of Can
ada. Yet Canada imposes a duty of s
cents a dozen on our eggs, while we i'm
pose a duty of only 3 cents a dozen on
her eggs.
h Canadians lave protection, bot
under the Wilson bill we have not.

Assumed net profit to Mexican

farmer... -. 1880
Reduced to gold. 1880
As this assumed profit would be in
silver and the wheat would have to be
sold upon the gold standard, this skillful
accountant reduces this to gold, making
the net profit to the Mexican farmer
$3.50. But TO produce this result this
accommodating accountant, while con-
ccding that the expense Of raising the
wheat would be twice as many silver
dollars as in the United States, as
sumes that the profit on it would be the
same number of silver dollars as in the
United States. AS a matter of fact the
freight "ates in Mexico are higher OK
pressed in the gold standard than in the
United States. but assuming that they
are the same, the American railroad COM
panics, as soon as they cross the border,
require twice as many Mexican dollars
TO pay n given freight rate as they re-
quire of American dollars on American
territory, so that the freight rate in Mex
leo would he $1,000 instead of $500, MS
/ our free silver accountant states il.
Moreover. interest rates are higher in
Mexico than in the United States, if
paid in Mexican silver dollars, and more
over the interest would have to be paid
on twice the number of silver dollars bor-
rowed by the American farmer, so that
even supposing the rates of interest
to be the same, the amount of interest
would be double, raising it from $500 to
$500. Moreover, the equivalent of $40
taxes paid by the American farmer
would be $50 in Mexican dollars, so that
the account of the Mexican farmer, thus
corrected. would stand as follows:

During the las. year of the Mckinley
tariff the only & G we bought were from
Canada, and from China for the Chi

8 cents a dozen the tariff would not be
