IuTmeI. $Z,oOO
Reduced to gold. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 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-
ceding 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 matter of fact the
freight rates in Mexico are higher ex-
pressed in the gold standard than in the
United States, but assuming that they
are the same, the American railroad COM
panies, as soon as they cross the border,
to pay a given freight rate as they re-
quire of American dollars on American
territory, so that the freight rate in Mex
leo would be $1,000 instead of $500, as
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 boz
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 5000 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:
5000 bushels at Slip per bushel. =. :. $4,000

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 10 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Mckinley law was repealed and the tar
III Oh eggs reduced from 8 cents to 3
cents a dozen, importation increased
100000 dozen in one year, at an in
creased price of $125O00. Unless the
American farmer can see it to be his in
terest to vote for Mckinley and the
restoration of proper duty on eggs, the
Canadian and other foreign farmers will
soon again ship us 100000 dozen a
year and the price of domestic eggs will
continue to decline. as they have done
for the last two years.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1896-09-01

During the last year of the Mckinley
tariff the only eggs we bought were from
Canada, and from China for the Chi
nese. We bought none whatever from
European countries, as before. Even at
5 cents dozen the tariff would not be
any too high Ii simply made a differ
ence TO the countries across the Ocean, or
places in Canada, far from the shipping
points.

Reducing this to gold, as in the original
statement, the net profit of the Mexican
farmer would be $7G0, 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.

The Royal Blue express train, bound for

switch on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
tracks just after emerging from the Gray's

He was taken to the Polytechnic Hospital
and after being treated was taken to the
home of friend st aSth street and Wood

injured.
The Royal Blue was scheduled to leave
Philadelphia at 1925 o'clock, but because
OF two breakdowns between Philadelphia
and New York it was quite late and did
not start from Philadelphia until 9:O3

OMAHA, July 7-Nebraska's free sill
yer delegates to Chicago left today
amid great hurrahs accompanied by
about 400 of the Omaha faithful. For
the free silver delegates a special
train was arranged. A daylight ride
to Chicago had been planned by the
committee, not only to afford the dele
gates a chance to inspect the country,
but in order that some valuable mis-
sionary work for the free silver theory
might be accomplished. The Burling-
ton did an enormous business, and
travel from points in Nebraska and
local travel was especially heavy.
While politics of the free and unlimit-
ed coinage Democratic variety were
somewhat in evidence on the Burling-
ton No. g. many OF the more promi-
nent Nebraska Democrats had already
gone ahead as a sort of advance guard.
The Jacksonian club of this city,
which marched down to the depot from
their quarters fifty strong, headed by
a band, each carried a hickory stick
and was labeled Il am a Democrat"
Many Democratic politicians and dele
gates from Colorado and other west
ern states were scattered through the
coaches. The Burlington brought in
sixtees coaches from the west, and five
more were added here, making a train
of twenty-one cars which was run to
Chicago in two sections.
The Union Pacific brought in two
special trains of Colorado Democrats.

burg for some time. The colonel few
days ago purchased d claim for S7o, and
while making partial examination of his
property, ran across the nugget which
was lying partly buried in the earth.
On his arrival this morning, the wild
est excitement prevailed. The nugget
was placed on exhibition in the drug store
of w. c. Wilson and caused staid men
to lose their heads Business men closed
their places, hitched Up their teams and
left for the mines, and by II o'clock not
a horse or vehicle was to be had. At one
time it was feared that the employees OF
the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe would
catch the infection and abandon their
pests.
A little lump of yellow metal which has
been the cause of all this excitement is
about three inches long by two and one
half inches thick and is the most beauti-
full specimen ever seen in this section.
Colonel Gaggers has himself become
thoroughly inlbued with the idea that
the country around Red Rock, Cowell and
Randsbury is the richest diggings in the
United States, if not in the world. Mojave
tonight presents the appearance of a town
that had just buried her most beloved
councilman or had passed through a tor
nado.

flattering offers, but in summing up the
probable benefits to the public and
trade at large, he quickly reached the
conclusion that The metropolis is the
only place for such an educational ex-
hibit as the annual show has proved to
be. Since announcing his decision in
the matter Mr.. Coleman has received
many letters and kilograms comnli-
menting him on the stand taken. The
manufacturers, especially, are pleased
because of their escape from the
clutches of the Madison Square Garden
management, which has heretofore
charged the exhibition for every nail
driven in the building. ANY fear that
the Grand Central Palace is not large
enough for the show may be dispelled,
for it offers over 100 900 square feet of
space-more than double the space ever
occupied for any cycle show. The out
look for the next show, according to
Mr.. Coleman. who is in the best po-
sition to judge, is particularly promis-
ing. He feels sanguine that there will be
more exhibitors in line than at any
previous show in this country or in
Europe, and that the number of visit
ors for the week will not fall short of
0,000
