OF COURSE (?)

The Reuie,O says the threat and blus-
ter with which the Republican press
and leaders opened and have since
conducted this campaign is beginning
to bear legitimate fruit in the gradual
disappearance of gold from circulation
and the general stringency of the
money market" OF course it is the
Republican advocacy of sound money
of money at all times and in all
places worth 100 cents on the dollar
that is causing this disappearance
of gold and stringency of the MOI ey
market. OF course gold has not been
gradually disappearing from circula-
tion for the past two or three years
because of the silver agitation. Of
course it is the "threats and buster"
of the Republicans that the dollar
shall be sound one instead of fat
one that is causing all this trouble.
That stands perfectly to logic and to
reasOn-of the ReUaeao. If the Repub-
licans would stop their "threats and
buster" and yell for a 50-cent dollar
and unlimited quantities of fiat paper
money and reputation of honest
debts, all would be different. Gold,
of course, would then come creeping
back, purring softly in apology for
having sneaked away and confessing
it's shame at being seen with an hon
est dollar, and how'it preferred to as
sociate with a little silver chap worth
only half as much, or with a depreci-
ated piece of dirty paper. 1t would
doubtless tell how it would put all
history to blush and knock human ma
ture out of sight in it's willingness to
keep along side of fellow willing to
do the same work at half the value.
In short, it would say put the Popo-
GRAFT theory in force and the milleni-
UNI is at hand without changing man
a particle. But the Republicans
seem to be constituted differently
from the Popocrats in one respect, in
that they prefer a sound financial
system that will guarantee a dollar
worth 100 cents at all times to any
theory which will gain or perpetuate
themselves in office.

has ranged cheap in the west at other
times in the past as we'll as at pres
emit. The Algona, Ia, Upper Des
Moines gives some prices of wheat
from the market quotations in that
place back in 1S69-'70. 1t says: On
June 9, 1869, wheat was IS to 80 cents
per bushel; October q, 1869, it was so
cents; December s, 1869, it was so
cents; June 20, 1870, it was 65 cents;
August 10, it was 70 cents, but Sep
TENDER IA, it was again quoted at 30
cents, and through that fall ranged
from so to Is cents.
1t also shows that while wheat was
selling at these prices Mccormick
reaper was selling at S21O, while now
the best steel binder can be obtained
for $125, taking less wheat in even
these depressed times to pay for one
than it did for a poorer machine then.
A few days ago we published the
following table compiled by Mr.. Geo.
Roberts, of the Fort Dodge, Ia, Mes
Senger. showing the price of wheat in
Chicago on the first day of January
from 1861, to 1892, and that the aver
age decline since 1872 in gold had
been only about cents over the aver
age for the period before that:

ST. JOHNS IDEAS.

In recent speech, in which he re-
ferred to the low prices of farm pro-
ducts, John P. ST. John, the free sill
yer banker. is credited with stating
that potatoes the last year were but
cents per bushel in Minnesota, and
said this was one of the reasons why
the farmers were turning to free sill
yer. If Mr.. ST. John really said this
he has very poor idea of the intelli-
gence of the farmers of the northwest
if he thinks that he can make them
believe that their potatoes brought a
low price last year because of silver.
Every farmer knows that potatoes
were cheap last year because Of the
enormous quantities of them that
were grown. They recognize at once
that the increase in the crop Of 1894
Of 1913, 100000 bushels to 297, 237 $40
in 1895 is the cause of the low price
and that silver had no more to do
with the low price of potatoes than
the caWing of crow. If it had then
potatoes would be cheap this year,
even though but one.fourth crop
should be raised, whereas the price
promises to range several times as high
as last year.

SLIPPING CLEAR OVER.

When a man goes over to the Pop
ocrats he also drifts toward free
trade. 1t is just as natural to do so
as it is for duck to swim. Having
become their candidate, Frank Day
has also become the apologist of the
free traders, and the last issue of his
Martin county Sentinel attempts to
show that the present tariff bill is
better than the Mckinley law be-
cause during its first and it's second
year it produced mole revenue than
the Mckinley law did during the last
year of it's existence. But the fact
does not condemn the Mckinley law,
nor commend the present law Dur
ing the last year Of the Mckinley
law, the constant threat of a change
caused all business to hold off and
wait to see what would be done. I'm
der the present law, business has been
gradually adjusting itself to the new
conditions, and had it not been for
the free silver agitation matters
would have been in much better
shape than they are now. But the
added revenue of the Wilson law,
which has fallen far short of meeting
the needs of the government, has not
caused prosperity to come to those in
dustries which it crippled. Now Mr..
Day tells the public that what these
crippled industries want is the free
coinage of silver. But the history
of the past shows that it is not. There
is plenty of money to run them with
if the silver agitation is stopped and
confidence is allowed to return again.
What they need is adequate protec-
tion. Mr.. Day is much engaged in
lauding his new found party and it's
candidate for the presidency, who is
most rabid free trader. This party
which is supporting him is for free
trade, and if elected Mr.. Day would
be in duty bound to vote with it for
a further step toward free trade,
and so still further cripple our indus
tries, for in accepting Mr.. Bryan as
his ideal of American manhood, he
cannot do less than does Mr.. Lind, &C.
cept his platform with it's free trade
views and un-American conclusions.
Because af these things the people of
t heSecond district will hardly eX-
change Mr.. McCleary, who stands
sound upon both the tariff and the
money questions, and who will best
represent their interests for Mr..
Day and his fiat money ideas.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1896-08-21

The Popocrats are fond of quoting
the following words of Abraham Lin
coin:
If a government contracts a debt
with certain amount of money in
circulation and then contracts the
money volume before the debt is paid,
it is the most henious crime a govern
ment can commit against the people.
Now, this is true and any Republi.
can will subscribe TO it. But the
idea which the Popocrats seek
to convey is that the mon
ey volume of the country has been
contracted since the war. But this is
not so. At the beginning of the war
the volume of our circulation was
SlO.23 per capita. In 1866 the total
money volume was 1878, ASS, 244, or
$3.50 per capita. In 1895 the total
money volume was ST, 597 ,206, 724, or
S22 35 per capita. Now, if the free
silver idea is carried out out, our mon
ey volume must not only be contract
ed by the loss of our gold circulation,
but what is left will also be greatly
deprecated, and crime as henious
as that which Lincoln referred to
will be committed.

WHEAT AND SILVER.

The Baltimore Sun, Dem, has been
looking up the price of wheat, cot
ton and silver, to see how much they
have to do with each other. 1t finds
that in London in 1878, silver was
1929 per ounce. Wheat was S1.31 per
bushel and cotton Is cents per pc und.
Nor if silver affected the price of
these two great commodities, all
would steadily decline together But
1T finds that such was not the case.
In 1874 silver had dropped to $1.27 per
ounce; wheat had advanced to 81. 43,
or II cents gain per bushel; while cot
ton had dropped to Is cents. Neither
wheat or cotton kept even pace with
silver. Four years later, in 1878,
wheat sold at $1.34 per bushel or 3
cents higher than in 1873, while silver
had dropped to $1.l5 per ounce, and
cotton to II cents, or cents less
chan in 1873. Thus we see that five
years after the alleged crime against
silver both wheat and cotton refused
TO be governed by the price of silver
In one of the principal markets of the
world, but continue to follow the law
OF supply and demand. Again in 1890
the Sun finds that while silver ad-
yanced to S1.04 from SO cents in 1889,
wheat fell from 80 cents per bushel
IN 1889, to SO cents per bushel in 1890.
In the next year silver fell off IA cents
per ounce, while wheat advanced 2
cents per bushel, and cotton held up
90 the price of the previous year.
Thus it will be seen that both wheat
and Gotten have gone independent of
silver in price all these years. Tn e
POpOcratS have simply made an asser-
tion that wheat has gone down with
silver and that wheat is cheap be-
cause silver is, but they bring moth
ing forward to prove it.

AN OPEN LETTER TO w. j.
BRYAN.

The following open letter to Mr..
Bryan was published in the Chicago
Yrion1se few days ago and contains a
few questions which will prove
pretty hard nuts for the Populist
candidates to crack:
Sigeurney, Ia, Aug. 1.-The Hon.
W. j. Bryan, Democratic-Populist
nominee for President-Dear Sir:
AS an American citizen and voter 1
take the liberty of asking you a few
questions, and you as a candidate for
the highest position given by the
American people will no doubt con-
slider it your duty to take them into
your consideration.
First-If the mere opening of the
minis to free and unlimited coinage
of silver will place It's commercial
value on parity with gold, why do
you demand that the ratio be 16 to /?
Why not make it s to l, or even l to
l, and thus increase the poor mans
money" since you say silver is the
money Of the poor?"
Secend-If the ''crime of 1872
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1896-08-21

caused the bullion value of silver to
decline, why was it that it decreased
in value before 1873 in period when
the minis of all nations were open
to it's coinage? In the days of Solin
it 1.-THE ratio) was s to l. In 1873 it
stood 1898 to 1.
Third-Why is it that in gold stan
dard nations the wage-earners are
paid from 81. so to 81 per day in money
worth it's face the world over, while
in the silver standard nations the
same class of laborers get II cents to
90 cents in money worth only its bull
lion value?
Fourth-If free and unlimited
coinage of silver will increase the vol
ume of our circulating medium, why
is it that the free silver nations have
less per capita circulation of all
money than we have of silver alone:
In Mexico the total per capita circu-
lation is only S5.11. In India 1888,
and in China So OS. In the United
States the silver alone, per capita, is
$3.50.
Fifth-You say that legislation in
favor of silver will increase it's bullion
value; why, then, do you, candidate
Sixth-Am l not right in saying
that you were one of those orators
who in 1892 told the American peo-
pie that free trade would be pan
acea for all their ills? And you re-
member how they listened to you and
voted as you requested? You also re-
member how your prophecy failed to
come true? How our factories were
closed and thousands thrown out of
employment, thus destroying a home
market for the farm products? How
prices decreased and money became
''scarce?" Your theories must have
not been logical then, and did it ever
occur to you that you now might be
laboring under false impression?
May the voter think twice before he
votes. Our present monetary system
is all right, and we should consider
we'll before we change it for one that
is mere theory. l am,
Very truly yours,
w. e. SHERLOCK.

OUR free silver neighbor publishes
an item from the London Financial
Neaus to the effect that America will
prosper greatly at England's expense
should it adopt free silver. This
statement may be taken with grain
of allowance. If there was such a
great gain to be made through the
adoption of free silver the people may
rest assured that England would lose
no time in changing it's financial poll
cy and get the benefits Of free silver,
without allowing it to come to this
country Stick pin in that.

A GENTLEMAN who has travelled
over a.large part of Southern Mime
sofa during the past three weeks, and
who has taken a good deal of pains
to ascertain the relative changes OF
political faith among the voters, said
to the editor of the FREE PRESS to.
day that he was willing to stake his
reputation that Mckinley would get
five sound money Democrats votes
for every Republican vote he would
lose to free silver in the territory he
traversed. He estimates that Nc
Kinley will carry Minnesota by over
100000 and that Gov. Clough will be
elected by the usual majority. Min
nesota is safe from the ranges of free
silver and free trade.

Mr.. BRYAN had no trouble in tell
ing what ails the country but he at
tributes it all to silver. But after he
had recited his tale of woe, with
which every intelligent man is famil-
lar as he is, he had nothing to say as
to how the troubles would be remedied
further than the mere assertion that
free silver would do it, but he brought
no proof whatever to sustain his asser-
tion. He could not gain case in
court upon such speech, nor will he
win it before the court of the people
next November.

SILVER AND LABOR.

In his great speech before the labor
ing men of Chicago, Secretary Carlisle
laid down the following proposition :,
which should be closely studied by
every voter in the country. They are
as follows:
/. Not free coinage country eX'
lists in the world today that is not on
silver basis.
2. Not a gold standard country eX-
lists in the world today that does not
use silver as money along with gold.
3. Not a silver standard country
exists in the world today that uses
any gold as money along with silver.
4. Not a silver standard country
exists in the world today that has
more than one-third as much money
in circulation per capita at the Unit
ed States has.
5. Not a silver standard country
exists in the world today in which
the laboring man receives fair pay for
his days work.
The last proposition should engage
the attention of every laboring man.
II is the common assertion of the free
silyerites that we can not compete
with Japan and other silver countries
in their growing manufactures, unless
we adopt free silver, or in splainer
words, go to silver basis with them.
But tits just to as certain that silver
basis would not help US any unless we
also sunk to their level in the matter
of wages. The wages paid in the sill
for the presidency of all America,
mot demand legislation to increase the
value of all American products-corn,
oats, wheat, cotton, ETC.? Y GU de-
mand legislation to benefit few sill :
yer mine owners, but ignore the low
prices of the American farmer. The
yearly output of farm products OF
Iowa alone more than equals the
yearly silver output of the entire ma
ton. and it seems to the candid
mind that the farm products demand
our first attention.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1896-08-21

Now, ia looking over this table it
will be noticed that back in 1861 to
1865, while we were living under free
coinage laws, and great war wrs 60
ing on, the gold price Of wheat ranged
from SO cents in 81 to IS cents in '65.
During one or two years following the
war the gold price ranged higher for
some reason, and touched as high as
80 at one time.
1t will be notice from the foregoing
gold price Of wheat since 1879, when
specie payments were resumed, that
the price of wheat, down to 1892 rang
ed fully as we'll as it did during the
four years of the war, when it was
supposed there was better demand,
and silver could go to the mint and be
coined free had it wanted to. A close
study of that table shows that silver
has cut no figure in the price of
wheat, andthe cause of cheap wheat TO-
dayis more directly due to the fact that
the people are not consuming as much
of it per capita by some two bushels
as they did before the hard times
came upon US.

The ReUieeU finds fault with the
millers' association and alleges that
it is responsible for the recent decline
in the price of wheat, and says there
is rumor that they will open the
market for the new crop at 35 cents.
Yet the ReDieaU continues to support
the attorney Of the millers' associa,
tion for governor, and parading him
as the friend of the farmer. Where
is the consistency?

In August 1860, silver was worth
S1.35 per ounce, while in August. 1896,
it is quoted at from 68 to 683. Thus
it will be seen that the Popocrat the
|ory that silver governs prices is not
true, and that they still adhere to the
law of supply and demand. Wheat
