eeIass to become farmers or producers Of
farm products.
The year 1892 shows a record Of mar.
velous activity In the direction Of secur-
ing q larger division Of labor BY en-.
pIoyine more in Our mechanical indus
tries. Our shops were filing up, new
enterprises were started, labor was in
demand at good prices in mechanical in.
oustrles, reciprocity was charging and
extending our markets md we seemed
IN every way to be realizing for the
value OF that law of political economy
ana creating wealth by division of la.
In 1892 the policy of protection was re.
v,ersed Inc thus the labOrers from the
shops and factories were forced from
sheer necessity to go out Upon the lands
anu become producers instead of cOnsum-
ers; It has been estimated that over a
mllllon Iaborers have since the election of
1877 when compelled to seek employ
ment In farming in order to obtain sub
sistence for themselves and families;
many OF these have converted parcels
OF ground near and around their homes
enormously decreasing the demand for
the products of the regular farm. 1t
ls easy to understand when the full effect
OF this shifting of labor from the mechan-
zeal industries to the farm is considered.
what the effect must be upon prices
of farm products.
In view of these facts, all of which can
De verlhed in the past history of our
country, 1t is plain that our farmers are
directly interested in the employment of
labor and that their prosperity depends
largely upon whether that labor is EN-.
ployed AZ competitors in the production
OF farm products. or as consumers en-
ployed in the mechanical industries of
the country. We are certainly learning
from a severe practical experience the
truth and value OF the economic principle
already referred to that "the greatest
creator of wealth is the greatest possible
division of labor" We are also learning
that this division of labor may be
brought about by a wise policy Of protec-
ton.
The effect of production upon the
products of the farm can be summed up
in a few words. First, will it increase
or diminish the number engaged in pro-
ducing the Products of the farm? Sec
ond, will it increase or diminish the mum
Der of consumers of farm products :!
When o have answered these two
plain propositions you will be master of
the entire argument of protection and
Tree trade. so far as the farmer is ron.
cerned. You need be concerned in no
way about the free coinage of silver
as this cannot in any way possible in
crease or diminish the consumption of
your products. Its adoption. however,
would have the effect, as Mr.. Bryan
admits. of producing a panic and con-
tlnued depression in our mechanical in
dustries. forcing more labor to the farm
and thereby add to the number already
producing farm products.
The employment of labor in our me-
chanical industries and not the free
coinage Of silver is the thing that inter
asts the farmer and is to secure for him
the prosperity he so much desires.-H.

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

There is not so much fanaticism and
fo%OlishnesS in the country as was sup
posed when Bryan captured the Chicago
convention with his "crown of thorns"
and "cross of gold. harangue. The
observation-disclosures Of the masses is still
to be counted upon as a safeguard against
Socialism and anarchy.
Powderly hits the nail squarely on the
head when he tells the workingman that
his motto with regard to money should
be. "The best is zone too good for
me-"
A man is said to have injured his ankle
in a silver debate. That's what comes
of letting people with comparatively lit
tie strength juggle with these heavy ar
guments.
Mr.. Fowderly, who says the Bryan
Dor than all the strikes ever known, will
come in for the abuse of the Debsites,
who want strikes galore, free silver,
free rum and a general breakup.
A government. like an individual. must
have a reputation for honesty and have
good backing If il does business with
The great world outside of its own linn
its.
Mark Hanna Is firmly of the belief
that the only effective confidence restora.
tive is put up at Canton.

too great purchasing power" Ask some
one who sweats through eight hours to
earn one whether this is true.
Spain wants more money. She should
send for Bryan.
An honest dollar is the noblest WORK of
| politics.
Even the Democrats of Michigan,
Wisconsin and Ohio are focking to the
standard of Mckinley. The same thing
afiicts Mr.. Bryan, it seems, that led the
parrot of story into serious trouble. he
talks too much.
Neither free silver nor any other cheap
money device can bring prosperity to q
| crates adversely to the Interests Of IL
own people.
Bryan appears to be one OF those men
who think they know It all, and an In
telligent and observing public does mot
| need to be informed what usually hap
pens to them.
To put into circulation II the
need OF the time, and that can be done
only by a protective tariff that will re-
vive industry.
Bryan's campaign speeches are like =
minstrel show. You hear one, you hear
them all.

ming.
