An Object Lesson In Silver.

There is an American silver dollar.
There are two Mexican dollars. There
Is more silver in each Of them than in
the American dollar. thought both of
them for that. What is the reason?
The sole reason is that our dollar is o
limited coinage, backed by gold. There
Is another coin. That Is French five
franc piece. l paid 95 cents for that.
1t carries a little less silver than the
American silver dollar. France and
the United States are both gold stand
ard countries. They keep in circula-
ton thousand millions Of silver, and
Mexico and China and Japan have not
got one dollar Of gold in circulation.
The gold standard country can keep
silver in circulation. The silver stand
ard country can keep no gold. That
Is the example Of every nation to-day.
Gold all leaves the free coinage
country. Gold and silver both circu-
late in the gold standard countries.-

THE FARMERS REAL GRIEVANCE


Not . Lack Of Money But Of Bankinl
Facilities In Country Districts.
Why has Canada no currency ques
ton, no cry for cheap money, and N
campaign against gold? These an
questions which Mr.. Thomas G. Shear
man answers very effectively in tn
London Times Of September II.
Briefly summarized, Mr.. Shearman'l
explanation Of the discomfort among
farmers, which has led to the ridicu'
lous demand for free silver. is that most
farmers in the west and south are de-
prived Of the benefits Of banking facili'
ties. They seldom see or use check
and are unaquainted with the benefits
Of banks and bank credits. For this
reason there is a great scarcity Of cur
rency in most rural districts. The
Country store" supplies in part and in
q crude and costly way the credits
which tide many farmers over from
one season to another. Because Of the
great risk involved, the storekeeper,
by charging high prices for his goods
and by paying low prices for farm prod
ucts, really gets from % to 40 per cent
interest on the credits given to the
farmers VI course, such interest eats
Il l. L. IL
up all OF the profits OF a large class OF
farmers.
The country storekeeper really does
banking business in a clumsy and cost
~ way. Local banks, such as exist IN
Canada, would furnish the farmers
with credits at about one-fourtn the
cost OF store credits. with such banks
the farmers would sell their crops Tor
checks, deposit them in banks and take
up their discounted notes in this way.
The farmer knows nothing OF this
method OF conducting transactions, and
thinks that his needs can be supplied
only BY making more money-cheaper
money, II necessary.
