wHAT MAKES HARD TIMEsq
SOme Facts and Figures That Speak
for Themselves.

for Themselves.
WHY hard times in this country is a
question well worth considering. Why
such suffering as we have had for
years when the land has been blessed
with abundant harvest and with a
population disposed to active industry
with organized industries of the very
best and natural unequaled.
A recent government report shows
how the farmers have suffered from
low prices, and this gives us some light
at least. We give some figures that
speak for themselves:
In 1896 we produced 2,2S3,ooo,0 900
bushels of corn; the farm price for it
was 21.5 cents a bushel, and the total
value S491, 900, 900. In 1891, for a
corn production of 1000, oOO,O0O bush
els, the farm price was 40.6 cents a
bushel, and the total value was $780,
440, or $345, 00O, 900 more than the
farmers received in 1896 for a vastly
larger crop. A loss like this must af-
feet the whole country.
In the latter part of 1896 a slight inn
provement took place in the price OF
wheat, owing to scarcity abroad, yet
the farmers got for the crop of that
year $500, 100000 less than for the
crop of 1891. The average of wheat
was 72.6 cents a bushel, against "a in
1891, but we had the advantage of q
failure of the European and Indian
crops, which forced up the price Of
wheat; otherwise we would scarcely
have got more than the 50-cent aver
age. With crops of wheat half as
large again as ten years ago we are
getting some $~7o,O0O,0O0 a year less
for it.
Oats make a worse showing. For q
vastly larger crop in 1896 the farmer
receives $7O,eOo,OoO less than for the av-
erage crop of the six years from 1890 to
| 1895, and $4,000 less than for the av-
erage from 1880 to 1889.
In these three great farm products
the farmers received $570,00o, 900 less
in 1896 than the average of preceding
years. This decline in prices has been
! going on for some 20 years, and il
| cotton and other crops were taken into
the account the loss would be increased
by hundreds of millions o
All this explains the shrinkage in
everything else; in the prices of mil
and factory products and the wages Of
the mechanic, the laborer and miner
Farmers and those dependent on the
marketing of their products constitute
fully one-half the population of the
union.
The republican party proposes to
remedy all this by increasing taxation
thereby making dearer those articles
the farmer has to buy. In addition tc
this, their protective policy is calcu'
lated to seriously cripple our trade with
foreign nations where u breadstuffs
and provisions find a market. Let Us
not forget that the country during al
those years has been under republican
policy. The ruin is theirs.-SpringfelC

THE People
A Case Of GOvernment ~ the Money
lower

Power.
The people last fall voted for currency
reform, and they looked for and ex-
pected it, until they were given to IN
derstand that the republican campaign
promises were only a feature of a sort
of bunco game. A great number Of
voters supported the republican candi'
date for the presidency under the as
surance that his election would promote
the interests of the bimetallic cause.
Those voters also were fooled, although
the president has made a show of carry
ing out the pledge of the st. Louis plat
form. We are not to have any currency
reform; we are not to have a bimetallic
policy. We are to have only tariff of a
high brand. High tariff has long been
an article Of republican faith, and the
leaders would like to put anotheFrobber
measure on the statute hook, so that ii
it should happen to jusl antedate the
return of prosperity, a pvZe republican
policy would be credited with having
brought good times. The New York
Press Washington correspondent thus
explains the failure of currtnay legis-
lation to materialize:
Leading republicans know that IL the
house should pass a bill reforming the
currency or to permit pooling or n legis-
lation Objectionable to the silver combine
in the senate the tariff bill would be made
the object of their revenge
1.-THE activity of the house in thrusting
upon the senate corporation or financial
legislation Instantly would rekindle with
added fire all the animosities of the cam
paign, and the silver question would jump
to the front. There would be endless de.
bate, and the result would be the fail.
ure Of everything which is earnestly de-
sired. Above all issues the republican
managers intend to keep the tariff for
ward"
There's the whole secret. The repub,
lican party does not want to take any
orders from the people. 1t proposes tc
show them that it knows better thar
they do what they want, and while
there is something desperate about thi:
bluff, it will work we'll if the country
be favored with that prosperity, which
it is widely believed, will not return
until something is done to relieve the
stringency that is caused by a faulty
currency system. That is, republican
defiance of the will of the people will
go down with the people if it shall prove
to be a success, but the chances for sue
cess are so slender that the republican
leaders may well pause before proceed
ing to the length of establishing 1
policy Of robbery instead of one of re
lief. They have no notion of pausing
however, unfortunately for them ant
their party.-Binghamton IN. Y.

TRUE DEMocRATIo PRINCIPLES:
Grover CleveIand's Anti-DemOcratio
Position.

Grover CleveInnd's Anti-DemOcrRtiO
Position.
In setting forth what true democracy
is Mr.. Cleveland says that ''above all
things" it insists that the money of the
people should be sound and stable,
neither shriveling in purchasing power
in the hands of the poor, nor by it's I'M
certain value driving enterprise and
productive energy into hiding" This is
true, as far as it goes. Democracy,
above all things, insists that the money
by means of which the people make
their changes shall not appreciate in
value to such an extent as to double
their debts-to such an extent as to
cause the products of their labor to
shrivel and shrink in value in their
hands until they are unable to buy
enough money with them to pay their
debts and taxes. Democracy insists that
it is far better for the prosperity of the
country for the purchasing power OF
money to "shriveI' than it is for the
purchasing power of the products of the
peoples labor to shrink.
We have seen what an unstable and
unsound dollar has done for the people
even during Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
ton. 1t has resulted in the prostration
of trade, the paralysis of business and
the destruction of millions of values,
all because the value of the unsound
and unstable dollar has been increasing
in purchasing power, while the prod.
ucts of the peoples labor have been de-
creasing in price. Democracy is as fair
to the debtor and the producer as it is
to the owners of capital loaned or in
vested. It's whole mission is one of JUS
tice. It is not true that a rise in gen.
eral prices to the level of 1873 would
work injustice to any class. Those who
are profiting by the shrinkage in the
debt-paying and purchasing power of
the products of human labor have no
right to such an advantage, for it is an
advantage hat works Overwhelming
injustice to the people, and, indeed, to
all classes.
We are very glad shat Mr.. Cleveland
made his speech. For the first time in
his public career he takes his true posi-
ton; for even through the fog in which
his ideas are enveloped the people can
see that he has no sympathy whatever
with the fundamental principles of de-
mocracy. He may not be a republican,
but he is an anti-democrat. His associa-
tions and his sympathies are all with
the small class that is enriching itself
ut the expense of the peoples prosper
ity.-Atlanta Constitution.

TO SILVER.
This Country Must Act Upon Its Own
Responsibility.

This Country Must Act Upon Its Own
Responsibility.
The so-called "silver men" in the
United States have no desire to block
the way to o just and proper interna-
tional agreement for the restoration of
bimetallism. If the monetary system
known by that name is a good one, or
if it be better than gold monometallism,
it follows, as of course, that it cannot
become a bad thing if procured by inter
national agreement.
But we do not believe that such an
agreement with the leading commercial
nations is within the scope of reason
able probability under existing condi-
tions. The two nations whose concur
renee is deemed essential are England
and Germany. The fnacial policy CT
both countries is absolutely controlled
by the creditor classes. It is true that
the best economic thought of Europe,
both in England and upon the CONT
nent, is in favor of bimetallism. But
this economic thought" is not the con-
trolling force in European politics.
While the great arguments in favor of
b~imetallism are unanswered, and will
remain unanswered, it is not apparent
that any progress has been made toward
it's establishment. In truth, the ten
denotes seem to be the other way. The
reason is perfectly plain. The ~moneyed
men, who constitute the worlds great
creditors. are benefited by the appre-
citation of money. It enables them to
collect their pay in money more valu-
able Ii. e., of greater purchasing power)
than that which they loaned. Now and
then we find a man whose generous in
stincts lead him to surrender a pc
cuniary advantage. But such men are
few, and, as a rule, they do not belong
to the class of professional money lend
ers, The latter are altogether insen-
sible to argument based upon moral
and equitable considerations if those
considerations are opposed to their in
t~erests. When dealing with the money
lenders themselves argument in favor
of charging the money volume is sim
ply wasted.
These same classes are all powerful
in shaping the financial policy of their
ANSGSCN4FO BOfCIuluCAOS 1nNTG Is nO
form of wealth so potential as ready
money. We know something of its pow
err in our own politics. The banker
controls the business man. the bust
ness man controls his employees, and to-
gether they, in large measure, control
the elections. In Europe, where uni
versal suffrage is unknown, where the
governments are either practically in
the hands of a single man or a select
few, it necessarily follows that the dis
tinctively creditor classes constitute
a relatively greater "power" than they
do here. They not only influence the
elections in countries where elections
are held, but they influence the Leading
statesmen" and, in large measure, die
tate their policy.-National Bimetallist,

He Wants Governor Budd Not to
Allow Durrant to Hang.

There was received at the Governor $
Office yesterday, letter from P H.
Cleveland. an attorney of Judsonia,
Ark, urging that the death sentence in
the case Of Durrant, the San Francisco
murderer, be not executed
Lawyer Cleveland evidently suspect
ed that there might be some difficulty
in identifying himself, so to make mat
ters plain he inclosed a photograph of
himself. In taking that course he
fixed a precedent which may be of
value to the State of California, for if
there be on file at the Governors Of
flee, pictures of all the cranks who write
relative to the Durrant case, the vol
ume would be interesting, and might
also assist in rounding up a corps of

TO QUIET TITLE.
Suit Over Title to Lots Owned in
the Early Days of Sacramento,

William D. Stalker has commenced
suit in the Superior Court against A.
J. Rhoads, administrator of the estate
of William French, deceased.
The complaint alleges that French
died intestate in 1851 in the Hawaiian
Islands, leaving property in this coun-
ty anG that last October A. ]. Rhoads
was appointed administrator of his es-
tate, and claims as such an adminis-
traitor an interest in lot f. Front and
Second, and @ streets, and lot ! and
the north 3f1a feet and the south quar-
ter of lot 2, Front and Second, @ and
r streets, to which plaintiff claims title
in fee; also that plaintiff and his pred
ecessors have for twenty-five years
past been in open and adverse posses
sion of the property and have. paid all
taxes on it. He, therefore, asks judg-
ment that Rhoads be declared to have
no interest in the property and be en-
joined from hereafter asserting any
claim to it.
