The Monstrous Wrong.

The monstrous wrong" for which
Gov. Boies arraigns the republicans is,
the Philadelphia Telegraph says, 1.-THE
wrong of giving the poor man the best
money in the world and assuring him
that what little property he may pos
sess or may acquire shall not be put in
jeopardy by the uncertainties of a shift
ing and questionable currency; The
wrong Of insisting that the dollar paid
to the wage Garner shall be worth 100
cents and shall not be cut down to so
cents"

HAavErs -SciENTInc" MONEY.

A System That Would Deprive Farmers
of Credit.
"Out of the wisdom of man came the
use of two metals for use as money,
these metals to be coined into money at
a reGo in weight of sixteen to ono,
or in the ratio provided from time to
time. The option was given by law for
the people to $ money made from
either metal, either redeemable in the
ether. but teach of Itself money. The OPP
ton was with the debtor, the person
getting the money IN motion. The debt
or thus controlled the demand, and as
demand gives value, the supply being
limited, this option to the debtor shift
ed the demand from gold to silver or
silver to gold. as each increased or de-
creased in quantity. The debtor used
came cheaper, the demand was shifted
to it, and this brought it back to a par
ity with gold, and vice versa"
How ridiculous! The idea that we can
have 4 scientific or Just system of money
which gives debtors the option of pay
ing in two or more metals at fixed "a
tics! The chief work of money is to
facilitate exchanges. Who prefers to
make contracts in uncertain terms?
What merchant would care to give
farmers credit and give them the option
of paying in wheat at 60 cents, corn at
az cents, oats at 20 cents o. potatoes at
Is cents per bushel? And who but the
farmers themselves would pay for the
risks and uncertainties if a merchant
were compelled by law to give credit
only in this MaY2

FARM PRODUCTS.
Pri.es Have Fallen Because of Increased
Production All Over the World.

Production All over d Norld.
q. Is it true that the price of wheat
and many other farm products has fall.
en- heavily? A. 1t is.
Q. How are such declines, in wheat
for instance, to be explained? A. By
the enormously rapid increase in grain
growing area throughout the world.
Q. Has this increase been especially
rapid since 1872? A. The increase in
grain growing area in this period, Is.
pecially in North America, South Amer.
lea and Asia, has never been approached
in any equal period in the history of the
world.
Q. How do we judge of actual compe-
tition in the sale of wheat? A. By
the supplies thrown annually on the
worlds great distributing markets.
Q. What market in particular? A
England, where mostof the buying ma.
tons go to purchase their grain.
Q. What are the figures? 4. AS re
Gently as 1880 Great Britain imported.
for consumption and reeNport, $780,.
024 hundredweight of wheat-a large
increase over the preceding annual aver.
age. In 1895 it imported s1,749,95s
hundredweight.
Q. What has made possible this re
markable increase in wheat produc.
ton? A. The exceedingly rapid dc.
velopment of transportation facilities
in newly cultivated grain countries;
among them India, Russia and the Ar
gentine Republic.
Q. Has there been an increase in the
United States itself? a. An enormous
increase.
@. How large? 4. In 1878 there
were 28,3S1,512 acres of wheat cult,
waited in this country; in 1891 there
were 39,916,s9z, an increase of so pei
cent The yield of 1875 was 292, 1885,.
COO bushels, a heavy increase over pre-
ceding years. In 1891 the yield wa.
Gil, $4,000. Even last year, with 3
greatly reduced acreage and a partial
crop failure, the yield was 467, 100000
bushels.
Q. Has the yield of other crops in.
creased correspondingly2 A. 1t has
Q. Give instances. A. The cult.
yated area of corn in the United States
in 1871 was 3A091,137 acres; in 1891
it was 76,204,5 SIS; increase, 1874 per cent.
The yield of corn last year was more
than double that of any year prior tc
1875. Both the acreage and the average
annual yield of oats have doubled since
1871. Our cotton crop in 1894 was sc
per cent. greater than in any year prior
to 1887.
Q. Was q decline tn grain and cotton
prices under such conditions inev
liable? A. AS inevitable as a decline If
the price of clothing or furniture OF
books or steel rails or pins when compe-
tition in their manufacture has extend
ed enormously.
Q. Would free coinage help the pro
ducers of grain TO Q large profit under
such conditioner A. Not in the least
O. Why not? A Because If the nom.
inal price OF grain were 10 nse through
initiation Of the currency the price Oh
everything else would rise also and the
farmer would be relatively no better of
than he was beforaF 7. Evening

Mr.. Chambers Is not intelligent
enough to serve In that capacity.
Before onr honored citizen left us
he informed us that all the high
priests of the G. o. P, including
himself, were all ready to swear
that the editor of this paper cannot
write one word, not one line, not
one sentence, not one clause, not
one paragraph of any description
whatever.
If the pusillanimous .nonentity,
who formerly exterminated the
dogs Of our beautiful city, or any
one else, entertains the idea that
the person, whose name appears as
the editor of the Broad Ak, cannot
write, we would request them to
call on J. S. TiEgey, Esq, foreman
of the Deseret News job depart
ment. This gentleman, and the
men under him, have handled our
copy every week for the last year
and a half; but We presume that
the whole of this is simply this:
Our friend cannot write very well
himself, and he therefore thinks
that we are in the same box.

Of these lynchings, l22 occurred
in the South, and 9 in the North.
Eighty of these were negroes, and
fifty-one whites.
1t appears that during the past
twelve years that there have been
one thousand eight hundred and
seven persons lynched in the United
States. Seven hundred and thirty
occurred while the Hon. Benjamin
Harrison was President of our
country.
And ten hundred and seventy
seven unfortunate creatures were
lynched under President Cleveland's
administrations. 1t will thus be
seen that these lynchings arose to
high water mark under Republican
rule, and that they touched low
water mark under Democratic rule.
