FARM

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
The following question was preeen
ted me for solution by a Republican.
l give to your readers the answer:
Don't the reduction in the cost of pro
ducing farm products equal the decline
in the value of the same, and the one
effects the other9 There is a barometer
that determines just prices. II the
people can command fair prices they
will receive a euh ;ient number Of dol
lars to distribute all the farm, mine
and factory can produce until the wants
of all are supplied. If the industrial
class cannot command a sufficient
number of dollars for their products
and labor, there is a surplus left on
hand, mills, furnaces and labor are idle,
and distress prevails all over the coun-
try: Maximum wages and increments
is that which corresponds with fixed
incomes and will run every industry
on full time until the wants of all are
supplied. Our manufacturers produce
about eight billions of manufactured
products per nun They have the
facilities to double this, Or manufacture
$16, 600, 900 900 worth per annum. The
industrial class can consume this ad
ditional output, but they cannot com,
mand sufficient dollars to distribute it.
The manufacturers have az additional
productive power of s. 600. 600, 900 now
idle because the people cannot com
mand the additional So, 600, 900, 900
Good prices is not determined by the
number of dollars in existence. They
are determined by the ability of the
people t. fix just prices and wages that
will command the dollars. The farm
ers cannot fix a price on anything they
have.t to sell. The price of staple farm
produce is determined by the pri q re.
ceived on the market of the world.
The price that the farmers of foreign
countries hiring cheaper labor will sell
at, determines the price our farmers
must sell at.
Our foreign farm competitors hire
labor at one half to one. tenth the WAGES
paid in this country. This labor. armed
with labor saving machinery, can ac-
complish as much as American abor.
Since 1890. 800, OOO, 900 of this cheaper

labor is arming themselves with the
best of American ~labor-saving machln-
cry, and competition increases IN the
same ratio this labor is equipped with
labor saving machinery. 1t IS the
competition of our farmers with this
class of labor that determines prices on
the market of the world, and this de-
termines prices in this country. AS
competition is the factor that determ
ines prices and decreases values, we
must stop competition. Compete with
capital employing cheaper labor and
you cannot command the dollars IN
sufficient quantity to exchange all we
have the facilities to produce To
command a sufficient number Of dollars
to distribute all we can produce, the
farmers must be able to fix prices that
will correspond with fixed incomes.
This they cannot do unless the money
is furnished them at cost, so they can
hold their surplus and sell at maximum
prices as there is q demand.
AS we increase our facilities per
capita to produce the necessaries and
lUxuries of life, we must be able to fix
prices and wages that will commend
the dollars in 81 efficient quantity to ex
change the increased output. The first
plank in the Alliance demands is in
tended to remedy this defect in our
g. stem of distribution. Chrystalized
into law our farmers can command the
money, hold and sell as there is a de-
mand at maximum prices, as our man
ufactureTs do under a protective tariff.
This demand embodied in our national
laws will give US Il flexible system by
which the people can command the
money to distribute all we can pro luce
until the wants of all are supplied.
Labor produces the necessaries and
luxuries OF life and money distributes
it, and this demand confines money to
perform it's function without taxing
the people.
This plank in the Alliance demand,
with the postal 81 STEM, is the panacea
for all our financialilIs Weare doubling
our ability to manufacture every
seven years, ard there will seem an
equitable distribution of the same &C
cording to merit, abolish poverty and
crime and establish the golden age Of
peace, plenty and good will to all man
kind, and this much,to be desired re-
suit will take place in the year of our
Lord 1901. JAMES MURDOCH.

to thank you for past favors, also for
your plan for running the shoe factory.
This is our factory, and we should by
no means allow it to stand idle a single
day, especially when the season is so
near at hand when we will have to buy
our winter shoes.
I would be glad if the brethren
throughout the State would adopt your
plan, place their dollars in the factory
fund and start up the machinery at
once!
I will make an effort to secure the
co operation of my Sub. at it's next

WHAT VOTERS SHOULD DO.

Loco, N. =.
Through your valuable columns de-
siro IN express some honest convictions
for the consideration of all PopuilsFs
who place the good of the country
above the success of any party or par
tisan Office, seekers.
The true aim of any political party
in a government like ours should be
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der. and not merely to feed at the pie
counter. Therefore all true Populists,
I believe, after giving to the late action
of the Populist and Republican Execu
tive Committees due consideration,
they will repudiate the same.
Because how can we further mone-
tary reform by voting for, or in any
way aiding the elections of goldbugs to
the National Legislature. 1t is either
repudiate the action of the said com
mittees or discard financial reform,
which, according to Populist teachings,
is the all -important issue during the
present campaign.
The question in it's entirety is Just
this: He that is not for us is against
us; this being true, brother Populist,
which side are you taking in this con
fict9 Should we not do ali in our power
to send from each district in North
Carolina to Congress, a free silver man7
or shall we be governed by the recon-
mendation Of the Executive Committee
and by our votes be responsible for the
election Of goldbugs to Congres33 1,
for one, shall choose the former course,
doing all I "a for the election Of silver
men to all legislative Offices, both State
and National, for if we fail in getting a
silver majority in the State legislature
it means a goldbug for U. S. Senator.
Now one more question for Populists
to consider; the controversy owe the
Vice Presidency. Instead Of Waring
among ourselves. thereby weakening
the cause of silver, should we not
rather all come together on Bryan for
President and thereby present a solid
front to the enemy7 We would be glad
for S3wall to retire in favor of the gal
liant Tnomas E. Watson's election, but
whether he retire5 or not, we must
elect Bryan to the Proficiency or all
hope Of financial reform and relief to a
long-suffering people will be lost for
four years at least, and probably al
ways.
Nov, silver mep, one and all, let US
cast away all party prejudices and I'M
due personal ambition, exercising that
lofty spirit of patriotism which hest
protects ::the interesHs and liberties of
the laboring classes OF America. Unite
for victory and success on the great
standard bearer (W. J. Bryan who
has said: Il am one who has never
believed that the citizen should put his
party acove his country"
The fight is now on; let every patriot
perform his duty for home and coun-
try, peace, plenty and prosperity.
United we stand, divided we fall; un-
less we elect Bryan we are sure to lose
all. D, W. SMITH
