An Object Lesson For Farmers.


Ifyou sit down with the farmer
at his fresIde, and ask him what he
thinks it is that has made the pro-
ducts SO cheap and reduced the
value of his farm one half, he will
tell you it is dear money.
These farmers are intelligent.
They have memories. They can 'e'
call the days when they received 81
a bushel for their wheat and 8 cents
a pound for cotton; when farms now
worth $50 an acrs were worth SlOO.
and those now valued at S25 easily
brought $50. They can remember
when at the close OF each year they
had money TO put in the bank, to
build new barn,t to buy new wagons,
reapers. mowers, harness and carrl
ages. When a son Or daughter was
married they could spare something
from the earnings OF the farm to
help start them in life,
Few Of them can DO this any long
er. Scarcely enough comes out OF
the farm, with all the work the farm
er puts into it, to make both ends
meet, and many farmer today finds
at the end Of the year grocery bills
unpaid, while the notes for reaper
and mower, for rakes and harvesters
and plows have to be rerewed. They
know that something is wrong. and
that they are bearing burdens which
they ought not to bear.
During the last ten years farms
country over have dropped into the
hands Of mortgages; thousands of
farmers are disheartened because of
their desire to pay honest debts and
their inability to do it.
There is no remedy for these evils
except by an increase III the volume
of money of final redemption. There
is no way in which it can be increas-
ed except by a readoption of the
policy inaugurated by our fathers
free coinage of both gold and silver
and their honest and full use as
money.-Kansas City Times.

mess and conservative elements of tho
Union. Moreover, MIR, Cleveland hciievcS
II to he his duty to run, II tho party asks
him no run. even in tho face OF certain de-
feat.
In this connection l wish to give one OF
the secrets OF the administration cam
paign. 1t is the belief OF tho president and
his licutcnan,s that they viii be able 10
obtain possession Of the National oonven-
tion through the efforts OF the office hold
ers to elect themselves and their friends
as delegates. by this Ia not meant Of
fensivc partisnnship or anything Of that
sort. OF course. MIR. Cleveland would not
countenance any use of the power of the
government to perpetunte himself ms the
leader of his party. TO use the power OF
the government machine however, for the
purpose of holding the pnr;y to the prn-
ciples of sound finance ia quite another
matter.
Another thing Is that the office holders
are about the only democrats who have
enough money to enable them to 20 to
local, State md National conventions. I
am told II is n positive fnct that Iowa was
carried last year because few but the post
masters were able to bear the expense of
going to the conventions. II the office
holders obtain possession OF the convention
for the sake OF sound currency and then
choose TO use their power in cffecting tho
nominate of President Cleveland. who
can say them nay?

Galveston, Texas, April S-The much
talked of and widely advertised tour of

Of advertising tn" port and building up
an import and export trade, has been
abandoned. Tho idea WAS TO engage a

various trade centprs and shipping points
In the territory tributary to the gait port
and to have tho representatives OF various
lines of trade in this city meet representa-
tIvcs of similar lines in the Wcst and
not only TO urge the advantage of this
port for the shipment of Western pro-
duce abroad. hut as affordlnE cpportuni-
ties for the specdicr and cheaper iurorta-

conceived and Advocated Jpon the Idea
that the railroads would offer liberal terms
of transportation. inasmiich NJ the trip
their traffic to and from the port by en-
larging the volume OF outgoing shipments
and giving them return frcights In the
imported articles. II appears, however,
that the transportation rates offered the
parry by the railroads nre regarded as
prohibltory, and for that reason the tour
has been abandoned.
