CAN THIS BE TRUE?
Eli Perkins Says the Free Silver
Craze is Dying Out in Texas,
Kansas and Missouri.

DEXTER, Mo, March 20.-After spend
ing three weeks in Missouri, Texas and
Kansas, l can say that free siverism is
dying out in its Southwestern strong
hold. The people now talk about the
craze dispassionately and with reason.
The verdict is that it was the ghost of
the greenback craze which set the farm
ers wild in 1856. When l asked O. d.
Austin of the Bates County Record what
Lad caused the stampede he said
"The farmers were deceived. They
thought free coinage would be contin-
uation of the old coinage acts, when the
Government bought silver at its market
price, coined 1925, 100000 worth of it,
and guaranteed every dollar as good as
gold"
Sand what have they found out
/ since? ?" l asked.
"They have found out that the mine
owners don't want that. They want it
fixed so that the mine owners can make
the profit on coined silver and not the
Government. They find the mine own
ers wish to take their 80 cent silver to
the mint as they take gold to the mint,
have it coined, and handed back to them
worth dollar like the 1925, 900, 900 which
have been coined. The farmers have
found out that this would only enrich
the mine owner at the expense of the
people, and give the farmer no better
money than he had before, The farmers
have at last found out that they are mot
in it, while the mine owner, with free
coinage, would treble his wealth"
"The farmer kept saying when Cleve-
land was buying gold to pay the expenses
of the Government. why don't he pay
silver tor gold? 1t has now dawned on
the farmer that the Government bought
gold for something worth less than COIN
ed silver. 1t bought gold for paper.
The Government gave paper note. If
it had bought gold with coined silver, it
would have paid fifty cents worth OF sill
yer and fifty cents worth OF guarantee
by the Government. 1t has dawned on
| TIE ldTlilcT llldI tHc u-pbOoOiOVO oflNCi NOi-
lars coined by the Government, and
which the farmers are using, have not
been demonetiz I'd at all. The peoples
money is all right, but the silver in the
ground was demonetized, and they say
That don't hut us farmers, We don't
own any OF it, and that won't hurt the
mine owner either, il he will let it alone.
"Then," continued Mr.. Austin, when
/ Bryan kept saying in all his speeches
, that gold had appreciated, that it hat
gone up and our gold dollar was wortl
200 cents, the farmer said: what arr
| We selling our wheat and cotton for
| Why we are selling our products for thi
double-priced gold, where dollar 4
worth 200 cents. We are getting twic'
as much value for our corn and pork Al
D we will get il We have free coinage ant
drop the price OF gold.' They now SCI
that Bryan was lying to them. Bryan
:. said the gold bug bankers are cornerini
gold, and now the farmers see the bank
full OF gold and 1t Is As free all over Tex
as and Missouri AS silver or paper"
a "Then the free silver craze has petere'
out p
Eyes, gone. II will never be cam
IT paign issue again. Intelligent farmer
are ashamed Of It,"

He was most pronounced gold standard
man and attended the bankers conven-
tions and listened to gold standard argu.
ments until he thought free silver the
rankest heresy. But as he became more
absorbed in the subject during the last
campaign he commenced reading more
thoroughly on the subject, expecting to
fortiiy himself in his gold standard
theories; but as he read he became
dubious Of his position, the skeptical
and. finally, discovering that the whole
structure Of the gold standard Argument
was based upon statistics prepared By
the treasurary department that were FALSE
and misleading, he became convinced
that he was wrong and is now one OF the

The Deserted Village.
From The Cleveland Leader


Fair Canton, lcnelest village Of the Plain,
Where crowds erst came on nearly every train
The hum has ceased no more the echoing
tread
Is heard. Thy streets are dead;
The cows browse peacefully to-day
Where, yesterday, we heard the brass bands
play.
The sheep bells tinkle in the quiet streets:
The eve is munching and the lambkin beats
The old ram stands as master of the scene,
Ard all is peaceful, sober, and serene
There stands the empty hack-its use is past
But bark A train approaches! Hear the
blast
A swish, roar, and then a sidden crash,
The monster speeds through Canton like a
fash
1t does not stop! 1t hu ries on its way
This was the greatest station yesterday!
