bushel which was equal to the price of
pne ounce of silver. From 1876 to 1880,
while silver was going down, the aver
age price of wheat at Bombay rose to
81 40 per bushel. Between 1881 and
1885 the average price of wheat at Bonn
bay was 81 10 per bushel, and from 1856
to 1890 $1.O1 per bushel, although silver
had been tending upward. From 1891
to 1895 the average price of wheat at
Bombay was 50 cents per bushel. Had
wheat followed the price of silver it should
have beer only SO cents per bushel.
Cotton exports from India to Europe
have been equally at variance with
the theories advanced by Mr.. Bryan.
In 1874 India exported 1,236, $50 bales
and in 1875 1,241, 526 bales. During
the FIVE years following it's cotton ex-
port was below 100000 bales In
1879 it was only 641, 45S bales. During
the five years ending with 1895 the cot
ton export from India has been steadily
decreasing In 1891 it was 1,02S.417
bales; in 1892. $4,000 bales; in 1898.
b57.7 bales; in 1894, 797.O70 bales: in
1895, 625, 900 bales. In contrast with
this the United States exports of cotton
have been steadily increasing. In 1890
they amounted to 5,020.913 bales: in
1891, 5,820.779 bales: in 1892, 1891. HI
bales; in 1893. 4.431 800 bales: in 1894,
5,397. 500 bales: in 1895, 6.96J,35S Bales.
Thus it will be seen that the India
bugbear has no foundation. but has
been conjured up for political purposes
by Bryan, Harvey and all the apostles
of silver-Omaha Bee.

speech in Congress. and as he is 1'

only it is easy to see to which policy
is most devoted.

the country cannot, for to them i NsI

the ages.
The one question Bryan never ansEsa
is the simple one, How about n'l
trade :!
The Bryan party is made up OF u
kinds of factions, led by all sorts Fl
cranks, and if it should get into once \

In denouncing wealth the Democrs.u'
organs are consistent with their pa pa II

Free Silver and Degradation.

Labor, today, has reached it's crisis.
This is a very simple proposition, to
anyone who looks at it with common
sense and reason, but one on which
hangs the fate of labor. If labor votes
for Bryan and free silver, it votes away
one-half of its wages. 1t will vote it's
organizations and unions out of exist
ence. For degraded labor that is drug
on the market, too poor to save penny,
too feeble to lift it's head against wrong
and oppression. cannot maintain an or
ganizatiOn against power and wealth.
1t will vote its children into ignorance
and toll from their earliest years. 1t
will vote its women into the tilling of
its fields, into drudgery in brick yards
and into slavery in the very mines which
silver men will operate for their own
advantage, at the expense of everyone
in the United States who works for
wages. 1t will vote itself into bondage
from which it cannot escape in our day
and time. The statistics of every free
silver country in the world will prove
this proposition to be true.

THINGS TO REMEMBER.
Nine Points About Silver and Protec-
ton.

Nine Points About Silver and Protec-
ton.
First-That there is not free coinage
country in the world today that is not
on a silver basis.
Second-That free coinage will not
raise the price of American wool one
cent while foreign wool is coming in free
of duty and is crowding American wool
out of the home market.
Third-That there is not a gold stand
ard country in the world that does not
use silver along with gold and keep its
silver coins worth twice as much as their
bullion value.
Fourth-That the free coinage of silver
will not start a single factory in this
country, when under the Democratic tar
Tiff the products of foreign labor are
shipped into this country cheaper than
they can be made here.
Fifth-That there is not silver stand
ard country in the world that uses any
gold as money along with silver.
Sixth-That free silver coinage will
not create a demand for labor when
Democratic free trade makes the supply
many times greater than the demand
Seventh-That there is not a silver
standard country in the world today that
has more than one-third as much money
in circulation per capita as the United
States has.
Elghth-Ihat free silver is not gong
to increase the price of nor the demand
for farm products so long as the Ameri-
can workingman, who is the principal
consumer. is kept in idleness by trans
ferring his work to the hands of foreign
workmen through the medium of free
trade.
Nnth-That there is not a silver-stand-
ard country in the world where the la
boring man receives fair pay for his
days work. and it is largely these mems
products that have come into this coun-
try by the grace of Democratic free
trade, and wiped out the prosperity we
enjoyed prior to 1S93.-Zanesville Times.

The legitimate expense of running these
stations is very considerable. If the land
is purchased, 1t means about 81. or $3.50
per acre to begin with. If leased. as much
of it is, the annual renting is a farthing
an acre in some parts of Queensland to
three pence, or six cents, per acre in much
of New South Wales. This seems cheap
enough, but when we remember that near

Gus prostration. He secured a place on
a popular periodical and the answering
of anxious queries in the correspond

said ne liked the job we'll enough at first,
until, day after day, he was forced to tell
anxious housewives a sure way Of exter-
minating Croton bugs. He suggested in
secticide powders and carbolic acid, sep

he could not think of something else

whose appetite could keep pace with the
fecundity of the cockroach. The idea
was so manifestly absurd that it called

Der of subscribers that the unfortunate
sub-editor was forced to resign and go
to the country for long rest.
