THE TROUBLE WITH THE FARMER.

The trouble with the farmer lies not
IN the form of currency which is paid
TO him for his product, but in the de-
creased home demand for all articles
OF consumption. Free Trade has
brought hard times to the farm err, and
Free Trade and Free Silver would
ruin him completely.
From 1892, when all our wage earn
ers were employed under Protection,
to 1895, when hundreds of thousands
of them were out of work and con-
sequently non buyers, the home con-
sumption of corn fell from 1883, 551,-
715 bushels to 1884, 49,, 647. In the
same time the home consumption of
wheat fell from $50, ia, 1873 to 49,
454, 900 bushels.
This was due to the lessened pur-
chasing power of the home market
caused by the loss Of wages to Ameri-
can bread winners. Our form Of cur
rency had nothing to do with it. The
Wilson law transferred wage pay
ments from this country to foreign
countries, and the American farmer
suffered because his best customers,
the American wage earners had less
money with which to buy 70 Cd. IF all
the silver in the world were coined
into American dollars the American
farmer could not sell his crops unless
American wage earners were steadi-
ly and proftably employed.
There is only one way for the farm
er to sell his crops. That is to re-es
tablish the purchasing power of the
home market. This can be doue by
putting our wage earners at work.
But Mr.. Bryan proposes to extend
the Free Trade policy already in OPP
Grafton. He proposes to lessen still
further the value of the farmers
sheep, to wipe out the sugar beet in
dustry of the West, to weaken still
more the home demand for wheat,
corn, potatoes and everything else
that is used as food.
The trouble with the farmer is Free
Trade!

The navy department is in a blue
funk over the fact that neither the
little Bancroft nor the cruiser Cincin-
natl can go to the Mediterranean at
reasonable speed without stopping
somewhere to coal up. Even by turn
ing store rooms into bunkers, the
Bancroft's capacity will be little over
80 tons. The Cincinnati can carry
400. They will probably coal up at
the Azores, on the way to Turkey,
thus depending on Portugal for the
success of the trip. The need of more
coal capacity on warships or of U. S.
coaling stations abroad is plain as
Vermont republicanism.

How the late A. T. Stewart would
squirm were he still sswith us'' over
the lamentable failure of the house he
SO laboriously founded. While at it's
head he was one of the shrewdest and
most liberal advertisers in the land
and freely accorded the praise Justly
due to the newspaper as an important
factor in his advancement. Hilton &
Co., on the contrary advertised but
little. on the theory, no doubt, of the
man who, having established repu-
tation for early rising, concluded to
lie abed with disastrous results.

The country today has an object les
son in the futility of efforts to give
silver value to which it is not en-
titled. Notwithstanding the free sill
yer agitation, the price Of the white
metal is going downward, and last
week reached a fraction less than six
ty-six cents per ounce. At this rate
the silver in the standard dollar is
worth but little over 81 cents. Why
should we want to base our currency
on this shifting and uncertain medi-
UNI?

Itappeara from the proceedings of the
scllool Board. that the public schools OF
St. Landry parish will open on Monday, ,
October 5th. This is about two weeks
earlier than usual. The proceedings al
20 show that Prof. Shaff6r was re- elected
Principal of our High School, but under
the light Of subsequent events, it is
most likely that Prof. Shaffsr will not
accept. but will prefer his promotion IN
the State Normal It will therefore,
behoove our school s0lOns to stir them
selves to fill. this vacancy. We also
n0te from the Boards proceedings that
they will avail themsslves0f Sec. "a of

pl0yment ot Normal graduate to teach

We are reliably informed that Prof.
Shaffer has been elected to Il professor
ship in the State Normal School at
Natchitoclies. When Prof. Boyd was
made president of the La. State Uni
versity at Baton Rouge, Mr.. Caldwell
was elected President Of the Normal,
thereby creating vacant professOrship,
and it seems that it is this vacancy that
Mr.. Shaffer has been elected to fill.
