at premium, ranging from 40 to lOO
per cent. Then when man wanted
to borrow money he had to pay a
higher rate Of interest than he has
had to pay since 1879 on gold basis.
When we were doing business with a
deprecated paper money, interest
was very much higher to the borrow
er and to the debtor that it is nova
! can recall when here in Ohio the
ruling rate Of interest for that paper
money was 10 per cent annually, and
and often per cent month, or u
per cent year. Do You remember
that, men Of Indiana, when in the
days Of the greenback currency, you
paid from 10 to u per cent for your
money! The ruling rate here in Ohio
for what some people are pleased to
call '200.cent dollar is 6 or 7 per
cent today. 1t may run as high as s,
and possibly that has been the ruling
rate during the last two or three
years, but that is because distrust
has fallen upon the country and men
who have money will not part with it
and take chances without a higher
rate Of interest. Money can be bor-
rowed at a lower rate Of interest than
it could have been borrowed at any
time from the days Of 1860 to the days
Of resumption. What more healthful
sign than this fact that a dollar sound
the world over can be borrowed at a
less rate than ever beforep
THAT money is hard to get is not
because it is scarce, but because those
who have it keep it fearing to loan it
because Of the unsettled business con-
dition Of the country. Money today
is idle because it cannot be proftably
and safely invested by those who
have it. 1t is neither a lack Of vol
ume Of our money nor the quality OF
the money that is our trouble, but
lack Of confidence in the steadness
and stability Of business. The threat
Of free silver is driving our money
into hiding today; the way to bring
it out is to restore confidence. And
how will you restore confdenceP
There is only one way. The way to
restore confidence is to defeat through
the ballot the party that destroyed
confidence. The way to restore pros
perity is to defeat through the ballot
those who have destroyed prosperity.
We cannot restore the business of the
country so long as we do so much Of
our business abroad. Let us bring it
back home for our own people and
our own labor. We do not believe
the way to restore confidence is
through the mints of the United
States. We can only restore conf
dence and prosperity, not through a
debased currency, but through a
policy that will restore the wasted
revenues to the public treasury and
rekindle the fires in American work
shops"

Where Are the Benents2

If 50-cent silver dollars should double
the prices of farm products, it is quite
as certain that the prices of all the
products which the farmer consumes
would double in the same way. In that
case it is not easy to see how the farm
er would gain anything by the free
coinage of silver. Even the wages of
labor, the last to rise in an epoch of de-
preciated currency and inflated prices,
would finally, after much distress OF
the worl1ingmen, struggle up to the
common level.
But whether the farmer should re-
ceive 500 for 100 bushels of wheat and
pay out 500 for the necessaries of living
or should receive S2C0 for the same
wheat and pay out $3.50, in both cases
the balance ON hand would have just
the same purchasing power. But in ac-
complishing the degradation of the
monetary standard, which could do
neither the farmer nor the wage-eaner
any good, an enormous depreciation Of
values and confscation of accumulated
earnings, involving public and private
credit in maelstrom of destruction,
would inevitably ensue. Are the farm
ers and workingmen of the country
willing to invoke such a catastrophe

A Few Facts,

In 1878 farm products we're lower
than ever before since the civil war, and
the "greenbackers" were arguing that
the preparation for resumption on jan
uary l, 1879, had produced the hard
times, and their advocates tried to post
pone the date for resumption. But re-
sumption came January /, 1870, and No.
= cash wheat sold at S1%; by May twas
up to S1.O1A, and by December, 1870, it
was up to s1.33K. Corn was 292s in
January, 1879, but in December, 1879, it
was 43A.
Such facts need to be borne in mind
at this time, when SO many false
theories are ahoat.

Bryan's "Dimotallism."

Mr.. Bryan still calls himself o "bi-
metallist," though he has never even
attempted to answer the question: SIN
the history of this country has there
ever been a time when gold and silver
circulated upon equal terms as full legal
tender money, with. the mints open to
the free and unlimited coinage of both ?'
There never was such time. Free
and unlimitsd cslRege at sixteen to one
has never, in anyscountFy, at any time,
given bimetallic currency. Mr.. Bryan
is silver monometallist in fact, what
ever he may think himself to be in
theory.

The Food of the Future.

A French chemist is seriously of
opinion, when he contemplates the
great achievements of modern
chemical science and the rapidity
with which it is advancing, that
the time is not far distantwhen all
our food will be supplied from the
laboratory. Instead of growing
wheat and rearing cattle for food,
we shall get all the constituents OF
our present food stuffs, or at least
all OF them that are necessary for
nutrition, in artificial essences and
powders, and cakes, manufactured
by chemists. 1t is probable, he
thinks, that we will then be able
to live more cheaply, more health :
ly, and consume much less time in
the feeding process. The bulk of
Che food will be supplied in the
form of tablets, pleasantly favour
ed, easily swallowed, and easily dt.
gested. The cheapness and the
healthfulness may perhaps be
priced, but it is doubtful IL cutting
short the pleasures of the table will
be generally appreciated.
