Question. Why Should Democrats Legis.

the American Farmer?
A Pointer for Farmers.

I remember one instance that bears
particularly upon this question that came
to me today as I sat here, and that was
this: My father came from the New
England states upon this prairie in 1887.
he told me this instance once: That
after sowing a crop of wheat by hand,
eutting it with the cradle, binding it with
che rake, and threshing it with the ball
upon the floor, he put it upon a wagon
and drove it to this city of Milwaukee,
ninety-six miles away, and sold it here
for Is cents a bushel. This was in the
SOS. and silver then was $1.30 an n
Now tell the silver men to explain to you
how it was that in the early SOS wheat

an ounce. if the. price of silver always
carries with it the price of wheat. And
at is not only confined to wheat, but
that other commodity you yoke up with
silver. cotton; and tell him that for the
four years ending in 1916 cotton in the
city Of New York averaged only Z cents

s cents a pound. Tell him to explain
that to YOU. That was when we had
free coinage and silver was then $l.30
an onnce. He cannot explain it. That

Question. Why Should Democrats Legis-
late in favor Of the Canadian as against
the American Farmer?
The American farmer could not sell
eggs in Canada, even if they had no
tariff on American eggs. There are only
q few large cities there, and they are
near to the Canadian cheap farms. The
half-a-dozen, small markets in Canada
have a total population only one-qqarter
as large as that of the city of New York:
A few election districts in the city Of
New York, or in Philadelphia. or in
Chicago, afford a better market for
American eggs than the whole of Can
ada. Yet Canada imposes a duty of 3
cents q dozen IN u eggs, while we i'm
pose a duty of only 3 cents a dozen on
her eggs.
Tho Canadians have protection, but
under the Wilson bill we have not.

Cheap Dollars.

Everything is cheap or dear according
to what we have to pay for it. Sugar is
cheap at 5 cents a pound, but would be
dear at 10 cents.
A cheap dollar, therefore, is one that
the merchant buys with less goods than
he would have to give for a dearer dol
lar. If q merchant now gives twenty
pounds of sugar for a dollar, and the dol
lar which he gets is q 2oO-cent dollar;
dollar and ought to be replaced by IL 100
cent dollar, worth only half as much; in
that case, the merchant will give only
half as much sugar for the cheaper dol
lar as he now gives for the dishonest

FARMERS EGG BASkET
The Mckinley Law Checked I'm

Home Market.
EFFECT OF THE WILSON BILL,
The Canadian Farmer Has Protection
but the American Farmer
Has None.

There is no reason why Canada, Mexi-
co, China, or my other country should
supply the United States with a single
egg. Canada does not buy a single egg
from us, and there is no reason why we
should buy from her. When we do, the
American farmer loses the benefit of part
of his natural market.
The purpose of this article is to show
by a few figures the benefit which the
American farmer derived from the Nc
Kinley law; not merely because the
law stopped imports from other countries,
but because under that law he received
an average of Is cents a dozen for his
present Wilson-G German bill, he hardly
averages 5 cents a dozen; and the people
could better afford to pay 10 cents u
dozen in 1892, than they can 5 cents a
dozen in 1896.
From 1888 to 1890, there was NJ tariff
send his eggs across the line from Maine
to California. Mexico, China, France,
Germany and other countries supplied
us with 15,5O0,OOO dozens of eggs, an
nually, on the average. We paid every
year to the foreign farmer on this small
product alone, at Is cents a dozen, 81
50o, 900. This importation Of over l.
day was felt, in the way of competition,
by our farmers chiefly in the large cities.
Farmers can get the best prices for eggs
and their products in the large cities;
but when New York, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, San
Francisco and many other markets are
supplied with eggs. shipped at cheap
rates of transportation by water, how
can the farmer expect to compete who
has to ship his eggs by rail?
The following statement shows impor-
tations of eggs, by countries, the year be-
fore the Mckinley tariff went into effect,
for the year ending June 80, 1899:

Bryan Shown to be. Uncertain.

There is abundant proof that Mr..
Bryan is an insincere politician and an
unreliable adviser Of the people. He
was IL boltcr in 1893 and in that year,
clarcd that the ~exchangeable value of q
dollar depended on something besides q
congressional edict.
When Frank Irvine was running on
the Democratic tickle for judge of the
Supreme court of Nebraska Mr.. Bryan
supported a Populist. In reply to a let
ter from Mr.. Irvine, calling Mr.: Bryan's
present candidate for President on the
Democratic ticket wrote q statement Of

During the extraordinary session of

Thus it appears that Mr.. Bryan knew
what the ~eXchangeable value. of a dol

therefore, is not because conditions have
changed, but because. he shifts his prin-
ciples with the varying political breezes.

1t would evidently be impossible for
farmers fifty miles in the interior of any
of the states bordering on the Great
Lakes, to compete with eggs shipped by
water from Canada.
The Mckinley tariff imposed a duty
of 5 cents a dozen on eggs: This law
went into effect October 1, 1890. Dur
ing the year ending June 80, 1890, we
imported nearly 100000 dozen eggs less
than in the year previous, when there
was no protection. The importation of
g g steadily decreased until the repeal
Of the Mckinley law in 1894, SO that
instead of nearly 100000 dozen eggs
being brought into this country, as here
tofore, in 1901 we imported 100000
dozen; 100000 in 1912; 100000
in 1928; 1,75O,OOO in 1894. BY 1894
