Talked Out in Meeting.

At the meeting of the Republican
Central Couimittee, t-Golumbus last
week, there was abundant evidence
that all wefspQt hopstnl Of success.
There were d number OF the doubters
and from among them the Columbus
Press mentions the following:
Mr.. Shook, the Pickaway county
member, insisted that the chief dan
ger to the party this year lies in the
rural districts. He shows that it will
be very hard indeed for the party to
win unless it had the undivided sup.
port of the farmers who have in the
past been Republican. He insisted
that II their wishes were not respect
ed that the campaign would only re-
suit in ignominy and defeat.
Mr.. Rose, of Marietta, member from
the Fifteenth district, called attention
to the promises made by the Repub-
licans last year, and added:
But we have not redeemed them.
Instead Of prosperity, ruin is now
stalking abroad and threatening the
happiness Of all our constituents. I'm
less Congress does something, what
can we say to them when we go be-
fore them this fallH We have moth
ing new to offer them-nothing but
the promises they have heard before,
and which have proven barren. Even
if Congress does something for us we
may not win. But if we attempt to
get together, with nothing to do or
say except that we are still Republi-
cans, we are surely doomed to defeat.
And there were some nervous breth-
rem when these truth-tellers ceased
talking.

What Ais The Farmers2

Farmers are the largest class OF
buyers in this country when they
have anything to buy with. II their
products sell for less than it costs to
produce them, then they, the largest
class OF consumers. are no longer the
largest purchasers. IL the farmer
cannot purchase goods that are made
in factories, then the men in factories
will have less work.
Many lean years have come to the
farmer. The price of his corn and
oats, wheat and cotton have been
down to the bottom, on an average
the lowest ever known before; the
consequence Is that as q class the
farmers have no money; they have to
wear the old clothes another year.
keep the old harness and the old
wagon IN use, let the h. use go uupainted
and the new barn unbuilt. Hence every
department OF trade ia affected by the low
prices which the farmer receives for his pro-
ducts.
Probably about 60per cent. o. all the peo-
pie in the United States are connected. to a
greater or less degree, with farming. When
such large per cent. Of buyers are virtually
out OF the market, is it at all strange that
times are hard, that orders are lev, store
keepers cannot gives orders when their Gus
toners cannot buy?
The following figures given by the agricul-
tural department tell the story of reduc-
ton In price of over one-half:
Democratic Northwest and Henry County news. [volume] (Napoleon, O. [Ohio]) 1894-1905, 1897-05-20
The following figures are from the same
source in regard to oats.
Total YalnA

| lhe above hgnres show that while in 1896
we produced 1916, 405 bushels Of oats they
were worth only $l32, ,5S5, 033, whereas in 1890
the crop of oats which consisted of 523,62l,-
O00 bushels, was worth S222, ,058, ,486. The
price per hushel in 1890 waa AZ cents, where
rs the price for 1895 was 10 cents and the
average price for 1895 was Is cents This
shows plainly how the farmers ability to
purchase has been destroyed. An under
production of money, short crop of money
and large crop of oats or corn necessarily
force the farmer to give much larger
amount of his oats in exchange for a dollar
than he would have to give if the volume of
the money was increased each year in pro-
portion to the in ;rease in the poulalion of
the country. With an increase of money,
the power of the farmer to purchase goods
from other people keeps an even pace,
whereas the destruction of silver money,
Whlch was the same as destroying one half
OF the money of final redemption, which
makes prices, is one OF the main reasons
why the farmer has to give nearly twice as
many bushels of corn or oats for the same
amount OF money in 1896 as he had to give
IN 1851 and 1880. 1t is just as necessary to
keep the volume of money steadily increas
ing, IN order to maintain prices, as it is to
produce the things themselves that people
expect to consume or to sell. Neither the
tarlf, nor reciprocity nor the abolition of
trusts will give the farmer that relief which
ne needs and which he is entitled to, There
is one certain remedy and that is to bring
about an increase in the volume of money
and to keep up that increase steadily each
year 80 as to maintain the prices of the pro-
ducts which farmers produce. Then he will
have money with which to buy the things
he needs. When we stopped the coinage of
silver-and ceased to use it as money of
final redemption-the era of falling prices
began.

Ex-Postmaster-Ge General John Wana.
maker, a republican of national
reputation, and a man who has been
recognized high in the councils
of his party, made a remarkable
speech on national and state politics
at banquet of the Business Mems
League, in Philadelphia, Friday
night. What made the speech still
more remarkable was the fact that
President Mckinley was in Phila-
delphia at the time. After COM
menting on the failure of promised
prosperity to appear in consequence
President McKinley's election, Mr..
Wanamaker said that the low state
to which the political religion of the
nation was brought by unscrupulous
bosses must eventually result in a
new party. Mr.. Wanamaker is GER
tainly in position to know, for it
was John Wanamaker who raised
the Doodle over the country is 1888 to
elect Harrison. In discussing Mr..
Mckinley's administration Mr..
Wanamaker said:
The country is not prosperous.
Since the outset of the last presiden-
tial campaign the party press and
political leaders generally fixed the
November election of 1896 as the
date of the beginning of good times.
A full half of the year has expired
since the will of the republican party
was declared. Thus far but one OF
important issues of the campaign is
nearing settlement, and hardly any
noticeable improvement of the
wretched times is manifest. The
tide will set in strongly against the
republican party unless the depress-
ion of business is altered. Idlenes s
and want breed a bitter discomfort,
which will never be overcome until
there are ample employments.

wife has been a sufferer from ::rheu
matism. A few nights ago she was
in such pain that she was nearly
crazy. She sent Mr.. Rowland for the
doctor, but he had read of Chamber
lain's Pain Balm and instead of going
for the physician he went tothe store
and secured bottle of it. His wife
Gid not approve of Mr.. Rowland's

applied the Balm thoroughly and in
an hours time was able to go to

she feels an ache or a pain and finds
that it always gives relief. He says

THE Republican press Of the State,
from the large city paper to the little
cross roads sheet, is advocating the
endorsement of Senator Hanna by
the coming Republican state con,
vention. Just what Hanna has done
to deserve an endorsement the com.
mon people can't see. OF course he
raised a large corruption fund, which
purchased McKinley's election, and
that's about all he is noted for, but
that is enough to endear him to the
Republican politicians and place
hunters, and his endorsement is an
assured fact. But an election is
another thing. In this the common
people will have hand, and it is our
candid belief that Mr.. Hanna will not
be his own successor, for the simple
reason that the next legislature will
be Democratic, and a Democrat, and
one who is friendly to the common
people, will be chosen.

THE latest gold standard joke is on
one of the members of Gov. Bushnell's
staff. The gentleman in question is
the manager of the manufacturing
concern in the southern part of the
state. Before the election he boast
ed long and loud the promises of re-
turning prosperity in the event of
McKinley's election, but day or two
ago the directors of the factory, which
was going to boom so, reduced his
salary from $4,000 to 81 900 per year.
