The Trouble with the Farmer.

The trouble with the farmer lies not
in the form of currency which is paid
to him for his product, but in the de-
creased home demand for all articles of
consumption. Free trade has brought
hard times to the farmer, and free
trade and free silver would ruin him
completely.
From 1892. when all our wagr-carncrs
were employed under protection, to 1890,
when hundreds of thousands of them
were out of work and consequently non.
buyers, the home consumption of corn
fell from l 1.9S3.J51 10 bushels 10 ISL
1851. In the same time the home
consumption Of wheat fell from 3S6,114,-
1SS to 80, ,454 900 bushels
This was due to the lcsscned DurchaS-
ing power of the hon" market caused 10y
the loss Of wages to American bread
winners. our form of currency had
nothing to do with it. The Wilson law
transferred WaE" payments from this
country 10 foreign countries. and the
American farme" suffered because his
best customers. the American wage
earncrS. had less money with which to
buy food. If all the silver in the world
We're coined into American dollars the
American farmer could not sell his crops
unless American Wagc-caruerS were
steadily and protitably employed.
There is only one way for the farmer
To sell his crops. That = 10 rc-eStahliSh
the purchasing power of the home mar

But Mr.. Bryan proposes To extend the

FISH LAW INVALID.
Supreme Court Says the Assembly
Never Acted on the Amend
ed Bill.

Madison, Wis. Oct. 13.-ISprcial ]
The Supreme court has decided that the
state fish law is invalid.
This decision was handed down this
morning in the case of the Oshkosh fish
ermen and holds the law invalid for the
reason that II was never properly passed
by the Legislature.
The case was certified to The Supr4ms
court by the county court of WinavpIEa
county for the determination Of certain
questions of law. The defendant was
tried in the lower court on the charge
of violating the provisions of subdivision
3, section 23. of the act, which reads
as follows: 1t is unlawful and prpnIh-
tied to catch fish of any variety in
any of the inland waters of this
state with any other device than hook
and line The defendant was found
guilty. The principal contention of the
defendant before the Supreme court vas
that the act in question was never legal
~ passed by the Legislature and there
fore is of no force and effect. II was
maintained by the defendants : attorneys
that the Senate passed one bill and the
Assembly another, and that the
amendments to the bill made 10y
conference committee of both
houses were not legally passed and
it was further claimed that even if the
two houses of the Legislature could be
found to have passed the same hill that
the governor in reality signed still an
other Beyond all this it was claimed
that the bill is one appropratng money
and that section :. article :. of the state
constitution requires all such bills To be
passed by an aye and nay vote and that
the vote so taken shall appear on the
journal, and it was maintained by the
attorneys for defendant that the journal
of neither house shows the bill to have
been 50 voted upon. 1t was further
maintained that there Is nothing in either
journal to show that thrcc-tfthS of the
members were present when action was
taken on the bill, which is required hy
the same section of the constitution of
the state. To still further complicHtc
matters it is found that in the printed
volume of the session laws for 1879 are
two laws, each purporting to he chapter
22l, one beginning on page i6t and the
other on page 3JI. The case was argued
before the supreme court by {. T.. Whe-
Ian, special counsel for the state fish and
game warden: Attorney-Gcneral w. II.
Mylrea, Assistant Attorney
John l.. Erdall and II. +. Harshaw Of
counsel: and for the defendant by Hume,
Ocllcrich & jackson.
The court in its decision says the rec
ord does not show that the Legislature
legally passed any law. 1t does not con
slider the question whether Il yea and nav
vote was essential upon the final passage
of the bill. The difficulty in this case"
the opinion says. lies deeper and con
sstS in the fact that the Assembly never
took any action on the bin after it passed
with numerous amendments. which the
Senate refused to concur in The court
then follows the course of the bill
through the Legislature and says: 1t
seems very probable that mistake was
made and that 25SS was the bill which
was acted on. But laws cannot rest on
