The silver dollar is worth forty
one cents and wheat has risen to
more than dollar bushol. Yet
the free silver advocates have
claimed that the prices of agricul-
tural products and silver rise and
fall together. That has been their
chief argument with the farmers.
During the campaign last year,
the silverites insisted that the
money power had manipulated
the markets so as to cause a high

purposes. But this is an "off
