SOME PLAIN FACTS.


Free Silver VIII Increase the Value of Every
Farm in the West.
The proposition to coin silver at the
ratio of sixteen to one is nothing more
nor nothing less than a proposition to
increase in value every town lot and
every farm in the west Free coinage
means an increased price for every
bushel of grain and every animal
raised on the farm; free coinage means
more money in the country SO that the
people can prosper and pay their debts;
free coinage means better wages for
every laboring man in the land; free
coinage of silver will give us dollars
that are worth 100 cents, and being o
legal tender, will pay taxes, salaries
and debts exactly the same as gold
will do. We cannot understand why
any farmer in the west should object
to receiving better price for his
grain. There cannot be 5o-cent dol
lars under free coinage. The silver
dollar will be legal tender and q
legal tender will pay a gold mortgage
and pay railroad freight exactly the
same as gold. The west raises produce
and exchanges it for money. The
more money the west gets in exchange
for its products the more prosperous
we will be. Isn't that as plain as the
nose on your face?-Free Coinage In.

Wall Street Mckinley Club.

The bankers, bulls and bears on
Change in Wall street have formed a
McKinly-H Hobart campaign club. The
New York World, itself gold standard
thus speaks of it editorially:
The stock exchange has no Bryan,
SO far as known. but on Saturday it
worked itself into quite fair imita-
ton of the Chicago convention, One
of the members frantically waved an
American flag. and there was great
outcry and uproar against Bryan
and Populism. The tumult ended
with the organization of q Bankers
and Brokers Mckinley Campaign
glub,H consisting of democrats and
republicans. The men may mean
well, but they don't seem to know
that any demonstration which they
may make is not calculated to help
the republican ticket"
The World then proceeds to deliver
g leeturs to the new McKinley-Ho-
bart Club. Although supporting the
same ticket and platform as the
"Bankers' and Brokers' Mckinley
Campaign Glub,n the World never
theless reads them the following riot
act:

power for which Wall street. is the
symbol in the popular mind that has

that has brought all the prime ne

Same Predicame4t.

The gold men are now coming
around and saying, we are in favor of
silver, paper and gold money. This
reminds us of a fable: A woodchuck
left his hole one day in search of food
and when he returned he found a
skunk in bis hole who refused to va
cate and who said it was his hole, In
order to settle the dispute they agreed
to leave the matter to the decision of
The wise fox. He came and question
ed the parties to the suit as 10 their
claims, and as the evidence of each
one was very much in conflict he
made an examination of the hole and
it's condition and after mature de-
liberation decided that the hole was
constructed in accordance with wood
chuck architecture; that it did not
smell like skunk hole and he must
decide that it belonged to the wood
chuck. "But your Honor" said the
skunk, "you do not understand my
position in this case. do not disa-
gree with your Honor as to this being
woodchuck hole. What l claim is,
that am woodchuck. But the fox
said, "your looks and smell are unani-
mously against you and you cannot
be further heard on the question and
must leave the premises. The gold
standard men are in the same pre-
dicament us this skunk was. They
are all upholding the existing gold
standard" of the st. Louis platform
and they smell of corrupt legislation
in the interest of the bondholder
against the producer from the time
the greenbacks was deprived of its
legal tender functions in 1861 up to
date.-New Hampton Gazette.

Wrote It's Own Epitaph.

When the money power dictated the
republican platform 1t defeated itself.
The declaration that 'the existing
gold standard must be preserved" is
the epitaph that may fifty be written
upon It's tombstone by delivered peo-
pie. The preservation OF the existing
gold standard means the preservation
of the existing business conditions,
and the people do not desire the pres
ervation of existing conditions. They
are in revolt against those conditions
from one end of the country to the
other. They are sick and weary unto
death of financial system which is
running them and they are going to
end 1t, and since the republican party
has welded itself to that system, they
are going to end the republican pa rty
asst is now constituted Denver News.

A Trifle Difference in Prices.

1t is constantly told to our farmers
and others that prices are as good
now and that farming is as profitable
as ever-a dollar will buy so much
more than formerly. Farmers ought
to have much more to sell than to
buy, hence a dollar that buys too
much is not the best dollar for them.
A Cresco business house which has
been doing business here since Ores
CO started, or nearly so, iu looking
over some of it's old correspondence
came upon the following letter which
it allows us to use:
Boston, Dec. %, 1868.
Please fad enclosed on account
sale l box poultry and our check for
net proceeds.
Your poultry was not dressed right
for our market. You want to dress
dry and draw the entrails.
Can get 81 and % cts. for good turks
dressed in that way.
Game more plenty and lower.
Grouse 80 to 80 a pair, and Quail 2,5O
to 800 per dozen. Let us hear from
you often. Truly yours,
Putnam, Virgins y Upton.
Poultry raisers are invited to read
that letter and note the prices and
compare them with present gold
prices. We won't state what they
are, the poultry raisers know too
we'll.
They also came upon this other
letter, dated couple OF months later,
which farmers selling two-cent pork
and ten cent butter are invited to
read, and compare present prices OF
their product with the prices then
paid, with the present gold prices. 1t
will enable them to determine
whether dollar may not purchase to
much, whether there may not be toe
much hog in the dollar. This is the
letter, read it and learn the prices:
Saint Paul, Feb, 25th, 1869
Your favor of the Gath inst is re
not been able to sell the butter or
market and parties Offering ut Less
price than wish to realize for you.
I sold one jar for 50 cents per pound.
l will try to close it tomorrow. The
hogs mentioned will pay 10 cents at
your place if you wish to ship them il
they are in good shape. Ship i'm
mediately and will receive and sci
them for 2! per cent. Truly yours,
NJ. Ryder
i Both these letters are genuine. The
name of the house that received then
is omitted and only that, from the
entire letters.

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,

ENelAND's FEAR.
How Democracy's Success Will Al
feet Britain.

From the London Financial News of March 10,
1.-The financial situation in the
United States is very serious. The
condition of affairs in the United
States congress demands the imme-
diate attention of British financiers
aud statesmen. The trade of the
world is now in our hands, but it will
not long remain there if the United
States goes to bimetallic basis with
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
with the addition of silver to the
volume of money, everything IN
America would take on a new face;
labor and industry would gain new
life. The grip of the gold standard
on the products of the world would
be loosened and prices would rise.
Great Britain would lose her markets
in South America, Asia and Europe,
and American ships would not be
long in capturing the carrying trade
of the world. British creditors must
now apply themselves quickly to the
American money problem, The
American people are now thoroughly
aroused and educated on the power
and use of money, and made des-
perate by debt and business depres-
sion, they are forcing free silver as
the main issue.
"Great Britain need fear no injury
to her trade or investments if the
republicans force protection tariff
as the main issue in the coming pre-
sidential campaign, hut if free silver
dominates the American mind and
carries at the polls, it will bring about
a change in England that will be
ruinous from its suddeness.
The damage that can be done British
manufacturers by protective Itariff
is slight compared with the disasters
that would be entailed by a change
from single gold to a complete bi-
metallic standard.
1.-The success of free coinage will
bring down the rate of interest on
money, and cause ali immediate rise
in the price of all commodities When
silver becomes primary money the
American mines will pour their pro-
ducts into the mints, and new era
similar to that produced by the issue
of misunderstanding the civil war will
begin. Gold will leave the banks and
enter into competition with silver in
the avenues of trade, and the manu-
facturers of the United States which
have been shut down or crippled
since 1892, will again resume their
fight for the English markets.
TT matters not to Great Britain
which party succeeds if the gold
standard is maintained, but either OF
the old parties or a new party which
goes into power pledged to free coin
age will be inimical and prejudicial
to English manufactures and trade.
1.-THE American people are massing
now on free silver. When that issue
comes fairly before the American
people England will regret her apathy
and adherence to the single golt
standard"

Water ways Improvement.

During the ten years from 1886 to
to 1895 inclusive our exports of mer-
chandise, gold and silver exceeded
our imports to the extent of $1,026,-
201,073. If the protection theory that
a favorable trade balance means
the prosperity of domestic industries
were sound. the United States should
in these ten years and to-day be in
the flood tide of prosperity. But as
it is not and has not been for more
than three years, us, on the contrary,
business was never more depressed.
it is superfuous to say that there if
something radically defective lin the
protection theory.
