What q Monengalia Farmer has

An intelligent farmer made the fol-
lowing remark in my presence few
days ago;
~ have stock in National Bark;
after the taxes are paid on this stock,
they allow me 10 per cent dividend.
/ have farm which cost me nearly
81, 900. BY close economy aud good
management, and after allowing my
two boys reasonable wages, l have
scarcely two per cent. on my invest
ment. | know Of many farmers who
are not realizing anything after their
wages are taken out and their taxes
are paid"
From the above any one can see why
bondholders, stockholders, &c, are
fighting so tenaciously for the & old
standard.
A by stander remarked swell why
don't you sell your farm and invest
the money in National Bank stock?r
81 have three reasons for not doing
so,n he replied. First, l could only
get about 81 900 cash down for farm
that cost me $1,000, 50 you see II |
would sell at this time when money is
so scarce would lose 81, 500. Second,
II / sold and invested in National
Bank stock, / could only get 81, 00C
worth of that stock for 81, 500 because
NationalBank stock commands a large
premium at this time. Third, IL ]
sold my farm 1t would throw my boys
out OF employment. because one-hali
of the laboring classes are out Of EN-
ployment at present.
The by stander asked him .'what
he was going to do about it," "Why
l shall vote for Bryan and free silver,
so that my farm dividend and bank
stock dividend win be more on
equality, and / advise every farmer tt
do likewise
