CHICAGO MARKET
The Days Transactions on the Board Of
Trade

CHICAGO, Aug. 20-The impetus given
to wheat by the engagement of gold for i'm
portation as reported yesterday afternoon
was continued at the opening this morning.
The starting prices Tor September and
December We're each $sc per bushel higher
than the closing rates of the day before.
One of the chief factors OF the opening.
firmneSs was the strength displayed in the
foreign markets. Liverpool was quoted
as opening firm at led advance. The north
western receipts commenced today to ex-
hibit a contrast to those of the correspond
ing time of the year before. There still
is some of that great crop left but the
luth receipts will nevertheless show great
discrepancy compared with this years.
The two cities receipts We're 2S7 cars today
as against 4OS cars IL year ago. The Allan
tic port clearances were equal to 1885, 900
bushels of flour and wheat together. Clos
ing cablegrams confirmed the strength re-
ported of the foreign market at the opening
but the market exhausted all its strength
in taking the little jump it did at the
start. After the early advance business
got slow and stocks getting weaker there
was about much effort to sell as there
had been to buy early and all the improve.
ments were lost. A rumor that some of
the gold engagements for importation had
been countermanded helped to depresS the
price near the end. There was a noticeable
lack of outside support all day and the con-
larger fluctuations than were reported.
rairly active and for the most part ruled
easy. A small sized raid on September
pork early in the day was the chief fea-
ture of the trading in the provision pit.
After 10 cents had been clipped off by q
few small sales John Cudahy's brokers got
at it with sedge hammers and smashed
the other ten cents off in about two blows.
This brought the price down to $50, the
lowest point ever reached. The last 10
cents. however, was again recovered and
the days loss in September pork was 10
cents.

The reason you are unemployed is
hooauSn tho bapLe hol3 ~.,,rlx, q n tho

The reason you are unemployed is
because the banks hold nearly all the
money outside the national treasury.
Free coinage makes it so that you
idle laborers can go to work and dig
money out of the mountain side and
buy the provisions from the farmer
the factory and the store. This puts
more money in circulation and en-
ploys more laborers. Remember that
all our money is stamped by our
government and is money because of
the legal tender law and must be
worth whatever value our govern
ment will redeem it at in payment of
debts due to it.
They tell you that free coinage will
enable men to buy bullion worth So
cents and make you take it for dol
lar in pay Tor your labor. This as
sertion is false. Free coinage will in
crease the value of silver bullion just
the same as for any cause wheat
would rise in value. But whatever
rise there will be in silver bullion
puts more actual value in every sill
yer dollar in the United States and
lessons the value of gold bullion in a
like amount. 1t will make every sill
yer dollar worth the same when
melted down as it is in coin. 1t will
stop the need of keeping such a large
quantity of gold lying idle in the
treasury as no one will prefer gold
when the silver dollar and the silver
bullion are of the same value as gold.
The cause of the fall in price of silver
bullion was because demand for it as
money was destroyed by stopping
free coinage. Now restore free coin
age and its value will rise again and
so will the price of labor and goods.
This country produces plenty of
everything to make us prosper, but
our laws prevent us from using part
of our resources-that part most vital
TO the prosperity of any nation-its
money supply. You laborers should
protect your rights, should vote for
free coinage and prosperity.

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 a 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,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitution
al cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

tenant farmers of the State is deplor-
able. The commissioner of labor re-
ports 100000 agreeing to pay cash
rent and 10000 paying share of the
crop. The cash rent promised,
averages over the state, $3.50 per
acre; which brings the cash rent of a
quarter section of land to $4O0. Now
look at the crops, their yield and the
prices they bear. Flax, about II
bushels an acre, price per bushel, Sc
cents, total per acre, $6.16, which
leaves the farmer after paying his
rent, $500 per acre on his flax. 1t is
quite unnecessary to tell him he can't
afford to do the labor in cultivating,
harvesting and marketing the crop
with all the perils of the season at
any such price. He knows he can't.
The men advocating the gold standard
prices ought to know it. If he farms
to oats the average yield will not be
more than 60 bushels to the acre,
market price, II cents bushel. total
per acre, $610, rent $3.50, leaves the
farmer but So 60 an acre for his labor
in cultivating, harvesting and
marketing. The man advocating
gold prices may deem this ample
compensation; the farmer knows it is
below compensation given to the
pauper labor of the old world, as low
as is paid the peon laborers of Mexico.
or to the slaves of Egypt.
If his crop is corn, 40 bushels to the
acre, is full average yield, the price
not above IS cents per bushel, giving
$3.50 as the price per acre, leaving
him after paying his rent, $470; the
farmer knowing that the labor in
preparing the ground, planting,
cultivating, harvesting and market.
ing the crop cannot be done for less
than 5000 per acre.
And if instead of selling his grain
to pay his rent he feeds it to hogs
and beef, and sells them at the prices
made by gold standard, he only
puts in additional labor for which nc
profit is obtained.
Under the gold standard we are
sending our silver out of the country
at commercial value put upon it by
a country that buys nearly all it
silver and requiring over 100000, 00(
annually at its commercial price for
its home trade and its colonies, an(
producing but $327.7O0 in it's owl
provinces, and instead of coming itant
parting with it at its coined value, VIZ
are thus enabling that country to OBJ.
tainits staple crops from silver using
countries at about one half what ou
farmers can produce similar article
for.
With this class of producers the,
are compelled to compete in prices
and the men who have depreciate '
the price Of our silver by denying
minting privileges the same as gold
are solely responsible for the existin,
condition.
What is needed is that sort of pre-
lection to labor and its products on
ly obtainable through an abundan
supply of money seeking to invest il
them.
