the demand for money enormously,

The claims of the gold advocates are
mostly technical objections and quib-
bles- All of them, I believe, are in
trinsically unsound, and many of them
grossly inconsistent with each other.
For example, take their contention
that the great fall of prices since 1878
has been owing to A'oyerproduction-" "
What could be more absurd? In the
first place, there is No evidence to sup
port it. The proof is all the other way.
It has been shown by unquestioned au-
thority that the increase of production
was relatively much greater from 1850
TO 1870 than it mas been since. In fact,
more than twice as great. Sauerbeck
states that during the former period
the annual increase was pa per cent,
while from 1870 to 1887 it was only 10
per cent. Since then it has u1doubted-
" been still smaller, because OF the
general depression that has prevailed
a large portion of the time. Between
1850 and 1870 prices rose about 20 per
cent. in the face of an enormously in
creased production. Between 1870 and
1887, with a much smaller increase of
production, prices fell nearly 80 per
cent, and they have been going down
ever since, with idle mills and mines
confronting us on every hand.
But further. The distinguishing fea-
ture of the industrial situation has been
general and widespread distress among
the toilers and producers. Think for
moment of the world being plunged
into misery by producing too much of
those things that are necessary for the
support ard comfort OF mankind, and
which constitutes the worlds real sub
stantial wealth. Such a claim rests
upon no foundation of reason. If over
production is the cause of our distressed
condition, then clearly the remedy is
to check production. If production
can be checked without throwing any
more people out of employment and in
creasing the aggregate of suffering,
some philosopher should rise up in his
wisdom and explain how. Strangely
enough, in view of fhis contention, no.
body seriously urges the limiting of

DOLLARS AND YARDsTIcks.

An Error Some Writers Fan Into in Com
pairing Them.
Some writers and speakers seem to
me to fall into what is an error in COM
pairing the dollar to a yardstick."
The government, at great expense,
has established measures called pound,
yard, bushel, etc. These are unchange-
able measures.
The government allows the public to
make duplicates Of these for the pur-
pose of measuring commodities to be
exchanged.
The government has also established
an Interchangeable measure with which
to measure the dollar, whether of gold
or silver, called a mint. The public are
rat allowed to make duplicate of this
for their use The government does
the measuring. declares the dollars
weight and fineness, and makes il a Ie-
gal tender in all exchanges.
1t is declared by the government to
be 100 cents. It also declares the bush
els to be so many pounds or quarts
How. then. can there be 5o-cent dol
lar any more than an 1s-inch yard
stick?
Bushels and dollars may be compared
and exchanged. There is no analogy
between dollars and yardsticks.-Cor.

production as q remedy, On the con-
trary, the republican leaders are siren
uousIy claiming that we must have
more tariff, thus setting our mills, fac
tories and mines in operation and in
creasing production all along the line.
4 greater Inconsistency could scarcely
be imagined. If overproduction is the
trouble, then clearly more tariff is not
the remedy. This view is rendered con-
elusive by the fact that the great fall
of prices has extended into all gold
standard countries. Hence a merely
local application of higher tariff will
not reach the seat of the disease.
If it be said that free silver coinage by
the United States is merely local rem
edy, / answer that silver is in world
wide use as n money metal. Whatever
affects its status in the United States
affects it everywhere. The United
States, in all the elements of industrial
and economic strength, is more than
one-fourth of the gold standard world.
When we restore the full monetary
function of the metal it will affect the
value of both gold and silver in Europe,
as well as here, and prices will move re-
sponsively on both continents.
Nothing has been produced in excess
of the ability of the people to consur~e
It, but almost everything has been pro-
duc-t: !. excess of their ability to pay
for it. This simple fact should satisfy
every thinking person that the real
trouble is at the money end of the bal
ance. The money supply has not kept
pace with other things. The worlds

The gold standard has had most dis
astrous effect on farm values in many
western localities. The margin between
farm mortgages, plus accrued interest
and the spot cash selling value of the
farms mortgaged is being rapidly wiped
out.
l have reported to the statistician of
the department of agriculture, Wash

December's annual report I took the
statements of business men, one lead
ing farmer and shipper OF stock to
Buffalo. The latter estimated the de-
probation of farm values in the country
covered by his operations at 20 per cent.
in the last five years Others estimated
the depreciation at so per cent. in the
last five years. None was lower. re-
ported these estimates to the depart

They WIN stand solidly Eogether for
Their Personal Rights.
The vote of the wage-earners win In
sure te Mr.. Bryan such vote as was
never given to q president. The coer-
cion policy of the McKinleyites will
solidify this vote, and. as contem-
porary says, will insure the election OF
the man who is distinctly the wage
earners' candidate a marvellous ma
jority.
The bulldozers have raised the quea-
ton whether an employees vote be-
longs to himself or to the man for
whom he works. If it belongs to the
employer, there is no free ballot and
this is not a government by the people.
If the employer can intimidate his EN-
ploye by threats of discharge and pos
sible starvation, the employe becomes a
political serf and is on the high road to
become an industrial one. Labor will
not endure such treatment. American
workmen will not surrender the right
which is the foundation stone of lib
erty.
In the present controversy the wage-
earners find supporting Mckinley all
those who have been their enemies,
from Hanna down, and they are not
going to join with their enemies. The
more compulsion is exercised upon
them the more firmly fixed win become
their conviction that this is struggle

During the past few days indications
have come from q hundred sources
that the vote of the workers in trade,
shop and factory win be cast for Bry-
an, as it should be. Those anarchists
