How the Farmers 4 Are Ieing Deiu.ied by
 So Called "Far,n Papers"

So Called Farm Papers"
 There was :. time rot long ago when the hundreds of farm journals published throughout the country were devoted to matters connected with grain growing, stock raising, cotton planting, sheep breeding, hog fattening, poultry keep ing and similar branches of our great agricultural industries. But since the free silver craze has been pushed to the front by the glib tongued prophets of prosperity through cheap and trashy currency, many of these journals have become the organs of the men who farm the farmers for political purposes, and are filled with the cunning fallacies and misrepresentation of the IS to schem- CTS.
 Prominent among the papers, which ignorant1y or Intentionally are doing the work of the silver bullionaires of the Rocky mountains, is Farm, Field and Preside of Chicago That journal, in a recent issue, devotes nearly five pages to the silver question, and tries to persuade its farmer readers that free coinage will make them richer. How it will do this the editor does not explain He simply says it will, and expects his readers to swallow what he tells them
 The reliability of the statements of this particular paper can be judged from its assertion that the free coinage of silver at l6 to 1 would not mean silver monometallism, but would give us a bi- metallic standard. The claim of the sound money advocates that free coin age would put the country on silver basis is characterized as "a lie and an insult te the intelligence of every pro ducer i'll the land. ,
 Let us see. Instead of wasting time ill disputes over what may be the result of free coinage of silver, it is only nec- essary to look at all the countries which now have that system in full operation. What do we find? Simply this, that ev- cry country in the world which has free and unlimited coinage of silver at a fixed ratio, such as Farm, Field and Fireside wants for the United States is on silver basis, and has no gold in circulation. This is one great fact against which yards of cheap money LII SdlGS Ol IO tt OIdtOIy Cdu make no impression. No free silver country ill the world, though some of them have four times as many people as there are ill the United States, is able to maintain bimetallic standard. Sil- yer, and silver alone, is the standard of value and basis for currency. This is not goldbug theory or money shark teaching. It is pure, unadulterated truth.
 Farm, Field and Preside says that "Silver monometallism would be almost as bad as gold monometallism. ,. It would be great deal worse, but it is important to note that while pretending to condemn the policy which must in- evitably lead to the silver basis, that paper admits the unpopularity of silver monometallism. It's farmer readers should insist on being told why the re- suits of free coinage would not be the same ill this country as ill all the other nations of the earth which have tried it.

The silver Mine owners Stake.

Every dollar of our present silver coinage was coined on government ac- count. and, though the coins are worth intrinsically only 50 cents, yet they are maintained at parity with gold by the government treating them the same as gold and making them receivable for all dues public and private. It is this that keeps our present silver coinage in cir eulation alongside of gold, coupled with the further fact that the amount of such coinage is under the absolute control of the government and the belief that no more will be issued at any time than the government can maintain at all times on an equality with gold
 But under free coinage there would be no such restraint, as every holder of 371I grains of pure silver would be permitted to take the same to the hints and have it coined into Q silver dollar without charge There would conse- quently be an uninterrupted flow of bullion into the government hints from every quarter of the globe so long as it was profitable to convert 3714 grains of pure silver bullion into a silver dol lar The owners of silver would reap rich harvest by being enabled to change 50 cents worth of silver bullion into 100 cent dollar. Under government coinage the government purchased the silver at its market value and then coined it into silver dollars, and the difference between the bullion and the coinage value inured to the benefit of the gov ernment, but under free and unlimited coinage the difference between the bull lion and the coinage value would go into the pockets of the individual silver owners-Senator J. c.

pR. ANDREWS, REPLY.
Question. Shall the United States Attempt
 Free Coinace NInne2r


 It is inspiring to listen to the Till mans, Blands and osLer go 1t aloners when they declare our monetary inde- pendence of all other countries and our ability to make anything money at any ratio we may please with any other thing. Not all, however, of the friends of silver are ignorant Of financial his- tory or without ballast of common sense. Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews, pres ident of Brown university, is and has always been warm friend of silver He knows better, however, than to at tempt what is clearly impossible. Not only that, bat he pictures the dangers of independent free coinage as wildly as have any of the so called goldbugs D Here is his reply, published some time ago iii the Chicago Record, to tho ques- tion, Shall the United States attempt the free coinage of silver alone?"
 If we take up the metal alone, and that course results, as should anticipate, ill the expulsion of gold, we shall have in the first place financial crisis worse than any ever suffered in the country, this because NC cannot in Q long time, even by working our hints day and night, coin silver enough to take the place which would be vacated by gold Prices would surely fall Immense numbers of failures would occur La- borers would be thrown out Of work Altogether dreadful paroxysm ill our business would be precipitated Slowly the gap left by gold would be filled by the mining and coinage of silver Prices would then gradually rise At last they would become higher than now, more and more approaching the Mexican and Japanese level.
 But Q consequence far worse than any of these would be that our passage to silver basis would erect against for eign exchange between Europe and the United States just such barrier as now exists between Europe and Mexico. It would annihilate all fixed par between New York and London, repeating the terrible inconvenience i'll our European exchanges which we suffered ill war times when we were upon 6 paper basis. ,"

pauperism and Silver Basis.

Silver only passes because the govern ment is behind it with gold. There is demagogy in the appeal being made in behalf of silver. This is proved by silver being called the poor mans money. No money is too good to pay the laborer with China, the South American coun- tries and, in fact. all the pauperized countries ill the world are on a silver basis. --Galesburg Mail.

Venezuela Done With Silver and Paper.

Venezuela Done With Silver and Paper.
 By constitutional amendment, now ratified, Venezuela has moved upward from the silver to the gold standard
 The amendment reads:
 Neither the legislative nor the exec utive, nor any other power in the re- public, shall in any case or for any mo- tive issue paper money nor declare as legal tender any bank notes or any oth- CT value represented in paper, nor shall the coining of silver or nickel be ordered without previous authorization of con- gress, subject to the same procedure as ill the enactment of other laws.
 Venezuela has been trying to make progress under limited double stand ard. Like most other progressive coun- tries, she has decided that fiat money, whether of paper or silver, handicaps her industries by keeping capital away.
 There are Americans who would ad- wise the Uniued States to go back to the monetary system Venezuela has been compelled to abandon ill order to ac- quire an advantageous place among young and alert communities

THE EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT.
DIR. Chas. ID. McIver, in talking with
some friends yesterday about the
Fair exhibits, said that the Educa-
tional exhibit was much better than
the directors, Superintendent Logan
d. Howell and himself, had hoped for.
At first it was thought that there
would be only few institutions which
would make eXhlorts, but yesterday
it was evident that there was not
enough room for those already apply
ing for space. The exhibit is on the
second floor of Floral Hall, and
those who saw it yesterday spoke
in highest praise OF It's gtlactWeness
as we'll as OF the effective work of the
directors. His EXcellel i, Governor
Carr, took occasion to sd hat he con-
sidered the Educational e> a.bit one o.
the best additions to the if in many
years.
SOME FAIR NOT rs.
The races will be called to-day
promptly at 100. Those interested
should noteahis fact.
The balloon ascension will take place
to-day at o'clock. Those who have

orally viii also close and let all the
city go to the Fair.
At a meeting of the street commit
