WHY NOT SILVER pRopUcERsq

1t leaked out last week that the
farmers Of Kentucky had entered into
an agreement not to sell bushel of
their wheat until they would get 81 a
bushel for it. 1t is stated that the
agreement was faithfully kept, and
now the farmers of Kentucky are
getting not only the prices they de-
manded but more. The idea occurs
to the Patriot that if the Kentucky
farmers can combine successfully to
hold their wheat until the wheat
spectators were forced up to 81 a
bushel, why could not the silver nine
owners combine and Withhold all silver
from the market until the backbone
Cf the combine, which is hammering
down the price of silver, was broken.
We believe such combination
among the silver men could be sue
cessfully maintained. The sane pro-
ducers Of silver should maintain an
office in New York for the sale direct
OF all silver to users in Europe. In that
way the silver combine would be
completely shut out and in a short
time be on its knees to the silver pro-
ducers. We believe that if the Ken
lucky farmers forced the wheat trust
to pay 81 bushel for wheat, the sill
yer producers, if they combine, can
force the anti silver gold trust to pay
81 an ounce for silver, or even more,
for the reason that for the past few
years the worlds consumption Of sill
yer has been according to the best
authorities 150,OOO,OO0 ounces in the
arts, or within few million ounces
we believe 5,O0O,0OO-1f the worlds
production. or that the United
States and Mexico have produced the
major part. The world will continue
to use as much silver in the arts in
the the future as in the past.
That being so it follows that by
Withholding the product of the mines
from the market, that a sharper de
mand will be created, and that de-
mand will send up the price. Bound

account Of the robbery as told by Mr..

"He was riding along the road about
sunset with another horse packed

met by two men, also on horseback,
one having no saddle. They stopped

they would return it to the owner

mounted his horse with his back to
the two men, one of them said,

that they had the best of him, us he
was unarmed, whereupon. they told
him to get off his horse and one Of
