is SILVER AN EXCEPTION :?

The Davenport, Ia, Democrat calls
attention to several features of the
silver question which farmers and Ia
borers and all others would do well to
ponder over. 1t says: UNLIMITED
coinage of silver is bound to promote
the production of silver.
''It is bound to promote the importa-
tion of foreign silver, on which there
will be an enormous profit.
sit is certain to immensely increase
the amount of silver all over the
world in the first place, and in this
country, especially.
"Yet silver men tell us that silver
will increase in value to almost twice
it's present standing.
SIS there any other article produced
by the labor of man that grows in
value as it grows in quantity?
"Can silver alone, of all articles
manufactures, products, commodities
of whatever kind, reverse the natural
law Of supply and demand, under any
amount of government fat?
"What do you honestly and soberly
Think"

THE BOLT IN MARYLAND.

Randolph Barton one of the most
prominent lawyers in Baltimore and
an elector-at-large on the Democratic
electoral ticket of Maryland, has come
out for Mckinley and Hobart. In his
letter withdrawing his name as an
elector he says:
lit might be possible for me to dismiss the
resolution aimed at the Supreme Court and
President Cleveland and the Civil Service law
as mere generalities, intended to soothe the
spleen of such men as Tillman and Altgeld, but
to the dangerous error of the money resolution
l find it impossible to reconcile myself car
think of no class of our people; from the day
laborer to the capitalist, who will not suffer
disastrously by the.delusion that imitation bring:
prosperity. l cannot believe that men in their
sober sense, men not driven by financial stres:
and disappointment, would depart as it is pro
posed from the only solid basis on which the
world as one great family must do business
Unlmportant, therefore, as it may be, whether
l vacate the place or not. L do not wish to iden
tify myself with political party urging the
measures offered to the people in the Chicago
platform.
81 am most reluctantly forced to the conclu
sion that Mckinley and Hobart at this time
represent the best interests of the people of thu
United States, and shall vote for them.''

the fact that for the past three years
this country has been suffering from
a depression brought about primarily
by the threat to change, and the
change that was made, toward free
trade basis, which crippled many OF
our industries and deprived thousands
of men of the chance to earn living
and that this depression has been in
tensified by the agitation which they
have carried on in the meantime, to
change the money standard of the
country and so depreciate our curren-
cy. OF course there has been pur-
pose for all this noise which was In
stigated by the senatorial syndicate
which was organized in the interest
of Teller, and since the outcome at
Chicago has been transferred to
Bryan.
But these noisy fellows will not be
allowed to have their own way IN the
campaign. During all this noise the
Republican leaders have been at work
preparing for the active labor OF the
campaign, and are now about ready
to take the field. From now on the
Popocrats will have to face facts,
mere assertions will not answer the
purpose. They will have lots of work
in the way of explaining various
things, and telling the people how it
is that the greater part OF the twenty
years which interviewed between the
alleged crime against silver, and the
present depression was the most pros
porous in the history of the republic:
The Republicans are prepared to
put up the greatest campaign in the
history of the party. 1t is going to be
a campaign of intense en- rgy and
thorough organization, and it will be
conducted along intelligent lines. In
short it will be campaign of educa-
tion from the start. And in doing
this work the Republicans do not lack
trained leaders and vast army OF
able speakers. All of the great speak
ers in the party have announced their
intention of taking the stump, and
have placed themselves at the dispos-
al of the campaign committees.
Everywhere the best of harmony pre-
walls. There are no malcontents to
placate, no factions to arrange fusion
with. 1t will be a grand campaign.
and it will be hot one, and the Re-
publicans start upon it with the idea
thoroughly impressed that as result
of hard fight they will win a victory.

SENATOR ELKINs. of West Virgin

SENATOR ELKINS, Of West Virginia,
in a speech before the Republican
can convention of his state, Wednes-
day, had this to say regarding silver:
81 have been producer of silver for over 1e
years. Naturally am its friend and favor its
largest possible use as money, consistent with
sound and stable currency. My interest would
incline me to favor the free coinage of silver il
L could see that it was practicable or possible
or that it rested upon any sound principles
The people now agitating the silver question
and demanding its free and unlimited coinage
at 16 to 1, when silver is only worth 81 to 1, are
its worst enemies apart from the injury it would
do the country. did not favor the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act. l felt, as friend OF
silver and as citizen that it would increase
the production of silver and thereby lessen its
value in the markets and lessen confidence in
it. This was the result"
The Senator argued that free and
unlimited coinage of silver would not
only drive gold out of circulation and
demoralize business, but that it would
also debase the white metal so as to
wholly destroy it as money. Elkins is
more honest than most of those who
own silver mines, or else he looks at
results in very different light.

A MATTER OF PRICES.

The St. Peter Free Press remarks
that twenty-one years ago a common
CIay laborer was paid from two to
three dollars and board per day in
harvest time, and the farmer got one
dollar per bushel for his wheat, and
that now wages and wheat are only
half that This statement is only
half truth, and is in line with many
assertions that the free silver mono
metallists make. Harvest wages are
half what they were and why? Sim
plv because of the self-binder which
does It's work better and at ofar less
expense, and aids materially in reduc-
ing the cost of wheat culture. But
outside of the harvest field wages
have not fallen one-half. In no other
dine has there been such a cut IN
wages even in these depressed times.
And up to 1892 wages ranged higher
in most every occupation than they
did twenty and twenty-five years ago.
But the half truth which our st.
/ Peter contemporary did not tell is the
fact that the wages paid and the
wheat sold will buy twice, and in
many instances more than twice, the
necessaries and comforts of life than
it would twenty or twenty-five
years ago. In fact bill Of groceries
can be purchased for about two
ffths of the price paid in those days
and in many instances better grade
of goods obtained. This fact as to
prices is shown by the following bill
of goods sold in 1872. with the prices
then charged, and what it could be
purchased for today, which we clip
from the Fort Dodge, Ia, Messenger
and which was sold by a merchant of
that city, to hotel there in the
above year. One of our local mer-
chants who looked the bill over said
that he could do even little better
on the bill than the Fort Dodge mer
chant and was paying more for a
good share Of the farm produce Of
fered for sale now than was paid
along in the seventies. The prices on
the bill Of 1872 and at the present
time are as follows:

THE CAMPAIGN.

For the past few weeks the cause of
silver recommendation has run riot, so
far as noise is concerned and there
has seemed to be but little opposition.
The most prominent thing connected
with it has been, that it has revealed
the strength of the argument which
that side will put forth. At their
gatherings their most fluent orators
have spoken and it has been
admitted on that side that
the best argument they
can make has been put forth. But
there is nothing in it that is weighty.
Most of it is based upon false reason
ing, and there has been much that is
direct Misrepresentation. They start
out upon the false premise that they
are bimetallists, while they advocate
a principle that would lead to silver
monometallism. They totally ignore
important forces that have been at
work lessening the cost of production
everywhere, and consequently the
price thereof. They further ignore
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1896-07-31

not be so often given to misrepresen-
tation. This paper has not declined
"to give any space, except as the COM
munications may meet the approval
of the editor" to "Gen. Pope and
other bimetallists" who may desire
to use it's columns at reasonable
length at reasonable intervals, and
the Revieao cannot distort our answer
to Mr.. Pope's request as bearing any
such Interpretation. The anything
Observation-Disclosures ce--edi-
tor of the ReUie,o should try and be
truthful at times when quoting from
this paper even though he is never
consistent with himself. The
"straddling' position of our neighbor
on the great issue of the day makes it
impossible, seemingly, for those op.
posed to sound money to get hearing
without asking aid from papers
not in accord with their reputation
sentiments.
Will the Reviea0 kindly inform a
waiting public 'where it is at" on
the question of money? Is it for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio Of 16 to l, or is it for a
sound and stable currency based up.
on gold standard? Which? Does the
editor-postmaster endorse the Chi
cago platform in his reputation OF
President Cleveland, or does he
simply support Bryan and repudiate
the platform? Which? Will the Of
fce-holding end of the Revieao support
Sewall, the protectionist, or Watson
the free trader? Which? When the
gentleman who holds the dual posi-
tion of Reconsideration answers
these questions we shall take pleas
ure in propounding others.

One of IKE FarceS.
Window Reporter

Window Reporter:
Is it really any wonder that prices
are low? Forty-five years ago there
were only about one million farms in
this country, while in 1890 there were
about four millions as shown by the
census of that year. In 1850 the meth.
DDS of agriculture were PRIMITIVE and
expensive, and human labor entered
more largely into the raising of farm
produce as well as into the production
of everything manufactured. In 1890
human labor was supplanted by the
best of labor machinery. The
farm is only single instance where
the cost of production is more than
half cheapened, and this, together
with the increased number and acre
age of farms must have some influence
in making prices. To our mind this
has a mightier influence than the
amount or kind of money we have in
making the price.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1896-07-31

The Popocrats tell how the bank
ers desire to bleed everybody they
come in contact with, and look upon
the government simply as an institu-
tion to reap profits out Of But the
Popocrat is not given to telling
things as they are, and such is the
case in this instance. The action of
the New York bankers in exchanging
gold for greenbacks to aid in main
tanning the gold reserve, shows that
they are not the grasping bloodsuckers
the Pops paint them. Had they been
the men which Bryan and his follow
ers are so fond of describing, they
would have waited awhile and ex-
changed their gold for bonds. This
one act proves the falsehoods which
the Pop crowd have dealt in, and it
is only one of many acts where they
have helped the government out of a
tight place. Because there are few
scoundrels among bankers, it does not
signify that all of them are of that
class, any more than it does in any
other class of men.

The same reduction has been made
in all lines of dry goods, clothing,
boots and shoes, carpets, furniture,
etc. But there has been no such re-
auctions in the price of farmers pro-
ducts. In fact 1.-THE farmer and the
wage Garner lives better today en-
joying far more of the comforts of
life than he did back in the days be-
fore the alleged crime of silver was
committed. If the farmer and wage
Garner lived today as they lived then,
they would have as much or more of
surplus left to pay debts with than
they saved then. But no one wants
them to live as they did twenty-five
years ago and put up with the incon-
veniences which confronted them.
There are instances Of hardship today
no doubt. There were many of them
in those days, but the silver question
has no more to do with them now
than it did then. And it was no more
responsible for them in those days
than the 0cough of the man dying
with consumption.

CHAIRMAN JONES, of the Popocrat
national convention, wired Mr.. Bryan
the following from St. Louis:
1.-THE Populists will nominate vice president
first. If not Sewan what shall we do? | favor
your declination in that case. Answer quick
And Bryan did answer quick, as
follows:
81 entirely agree with you. Withdraw my
name if Sewall is not nominated"
Information is wanting to show
that Jones followed instructions.
Was Bryan ringing in cold bluff? 1t
looks like it.

DEMOCRATS are primarily interested in the
defeat of Mckinley, therefore it behooves them
to keep out of the movement for a third ticket

The Democrat is mistaking Popo-
Gratis for Democrats. While Demo.

on all questions, they do agree that

should be kept sound. and the credit
preserved. And this is the end they
will work for.
