We would like to know why it is that
the "gold bug." say that the single gold
standard will bring prosperity when they
have the result Of the demonetization OF
silver in 1873. In that year cotton sold
for 20 cents, in 1890 it sold for Is cents, in
1890 it sold for 10 cents and in 1894 it sold
for cents per pound, decrease Of Is
cents on the pound in % years. In
1878 bale of cotton weighing 500 pounds
brought 500. 1t will take nearly three
bales, weighing 500 pounds each al pres
ent prices to bring 500. Some say that
reproduction is the cause Of the de-
crease. If that is the cause why hasn't
cotton been worth more for the last two
years when the yield has been far below
the average? Give us free silver at ra-
ito of 1G to l.
