The Canton correspondent of one of
our Republican contemporaries tells a
very pathetic story of how several hun
dred Ohio laborers who have been
thrown out of employment by the Dem
ocratlc free trade" tariff bill chartered
a special train and journeyed all the
way to the home of the Republican
Presidential nominee to pledge him
their support. 1t is quite natural that
unemployed workingmen should en-
ploy special trains and travel about
the country to exploit their displeas-
ure. Special trains, and especially spe-
cial trains to Canton, are becoming
everyday occurrences. In the event
OF the election OF Mckinley and Ho-
bart, there will be legislative and ad-
ministrative acts which will force the
taxpayers to foot the bills for all the
special trains and other contributions
the corporations are making to the
Republican campaign fund.

silver and Farm Prices.

Iowa wants free silver because 1t will
give silver prices for the products Of
her farms. Our crop of corn in 1895
was 285. .O00. 600 bushels. The market
y2lue on a gold basis was $4S. SOC, 900.
ca silver basis i. would bring $97,-
100000. or an increase in the circula-
ton Of Iowa for corn of S48, ,5oO, 900 in
ine year.
The total crop product Of Iowa
farms for 1898 was, gold valuation.
$16S. .235 .420. To measure 1t on q sill
yer basis 1t would bring 3336,470.s $40,
an increase in the currency circulation
Perhaps some doubling Thomas may
think free silver would not do this.
For an answer, l point to silver coun-
tries, where the price of farm products
is practically double ours to-day.

Of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids &

borne In mind that Iowa is an agricul-
tural state, and to lessen the value OF

merchants are sending money east to

price of farm products is to cut on to
that extent the golden stream from
the tills of Iowa's merchants, causing
u congestion of money in the east.

Pie. for Fair Play.

The New York Independent exposes
the journalistic conspiracy to misrep-
resent and belittle Mr.. Bryan's candi-
dacy, and warns those engaged In 1t Of
the danger of reaction. 1t said in Its
last weeks issue: 'The fact that we do
not accept Mr.. Bryan's financial
theories and that we repudiate the
platform on which he stands is no rea-
son for not doing him full justice. By
q number of the leading New York
papers he has not been fairly treated.
It was evident before he reached New
York that they would discredit him by
fair means and unfair, and they Gre
ated for him a predestined failure. Not
half Of those who sought admission
could get into the hail. The night was
insuRsrably hot, and 1t was nothing
against his ability As a speaker that
hundreds or Thousands who came from
curiosity went out to make room for
yet others. 1t was = disappointment
to many that he read his speech; but he
could scarcely do anything else, con-
sidering his representative character
and the importance Of the occasion. OF
course. . manuscript read is different
thing from an grafton spoken, but 1t is
NO novelty. Mr.. Bryan's voice was
clear and strong. easily heard all over
the immense hall. and 1t was pleasure
to hear It, 10 admirably was It modu-
lated and 70 excellent was its quality.
Those who heard Senator Hill read
from manuscript long speech. without
. gesture from beginning to end. OBJ
served with pleasure how Mr.. Bryan
occasionally put down his notes, es-
pecially toward the end Of his address.
and they could easily believe the stories
Of his magnetic power. Those Who
have belittled him as I public speaker
n the strength Of what they call his
failure in Madison Square Garden are
speaking for political effect"

BRYAN in 1898:

"Yeu may think that you have buried

tion, and before the door rolled the
vete stone. But, sirs, II our cause Is
Just, ~ believe 1t is, your labor has
been IN vain! no tomb was ever made

Senator Thurston, Of Nebraska spoke
the other night in New York city in
opposition to Bryan. The substances
and method of his speech we may con-

in commenting thereon. To-Day We
ask the people to consider somewhat
the earlier utterances on the issues Of
this campaign which Thurston deltv-
cred with all the eloquence and all the
seeming unchangeable conviction
which characterised his address Of last
night.
In 1898, for example. when he was
seeking election to the post he now nus

to the chairman of the Nebraska repub-

among other things favorable to sill

About the same time Mr.. fhurston
took to writing letters to that remark
able economist, Mr.. George Canton, of
this city. In one OF these communi-
cations, written in July, 1898. he said
and perhaps 1t might be we'll to COM
pare this utterance with some para

CDst of Production.

From turner's point OF view the
position that some of the writer's take
that farmer can do nearly as well
now as he could when prices for farm
produce were higher, say in 1870, on
account Of the supplies he has to buy
being lower, is very absurd to say the
least. In order to show the difference
between what a farmer could make In
1870 and now l will give few figures
~ to the cost and profit OF raising
eighty acres of corn, then and now.
1t will require the services Of one man
besides the farmer, and as for the
amount of work, man could do about
the same work then as now. as we
had the riding breaking plow and
double diamond corn plow and double
shovel corn plow in use then. We Will
count the farmers wages the same as
the hired mans. The average price
Of corn in 1870 was about 40 cents
bushel; land then was worth about $40
an acre, or 50 for rent. 1t Is now held
at a bout 375 an acre, or $3.50 for rent.
