FARM PRODUCTS
How the Demonstration of Silver
Affected Them.

The Democratic campaign book for
1898 is mine Of information for all
people who desire facts regarding the
influence Of demonetization upon the
welfare of the country, and especially
are the facts valuable to farmers. who
perhaps have suffered more than any
other class Of our fellow citizens.
In number of tables showing the
depreciation Of value in farm products.
since 1873, when the demonetizition of
the silver dollar occurred. omitting frac =.
tions, the value Of pure silver in silver
dollar was in 1873. slO2. then a bushel
of wheat was worth sl.l5 and a pound
of cotton 20 cents. In the month of
September. 1898. bushel Of wheat
was worth 62.3 cents bushel. and a
pound OF cotton 556 cents. Silver in 81
years had declined from sl.02 to AZ
cents, or 55 cents. Wheat had de-
clined to 525 per bushel and cotto n
IA A cents a pound. The price Of corn
cents bushel. to 81 cents a bushel in
1896. decrease of 27 cents a bushel.
Oats declined from 81 cents bushel in
1878 to ls cents bushel in 1896. loss
Of 10 cents bushel. Rye declined from
20 bushel in 1874 to 40 cents bushel
in 1896. loss OF 80 cents bushel.
Barley declined from 81 cents bushel
i'm 1873 to 32 cents a bushel in 1896. a
loss Of 50 cents bushel. Hay declined
from $l3 55 ton in 1873 to 60 so in 1895.
loss of - 93 per ton. Potatoes from
20 cents a bushel in 1873 to 40 cents a
bushel in 1896, a loss of 80 cents bushel.
But there is another way to look ai
this gloomy picture Of the depreciation
Of farm products. consequent upon the
demonetization of silver. not from the
unit standpoint. but upon the sum tota
of production, aud the som total OF
value. which ought TO convince farmers
as Mr.. Hatch Of Missouri reported from
the committee on agriculture in 1895
that "class legislation OF the worst
character encumbers the statute books
and has been carried on TO the detri
ment Of agriculture and its dependent
industries for 80 years. eliminating In
the crime Of the age--the demonetiza
tion Of silver in 1873"
In 1873 the wheat prodact Of tho
country amounted to 2si, 1854. 700 bush
els, its total value at sl.i5 per bushe
was 1923, 1904. sos, In 1896 the whea

WHERE JOSEPH COOK STANDS.
The Noted Boston Lecturer Gives His
Views on Prohibition.

Rev. Joseph Cook the noted Bos
ton lecturer and preacher said some
very pointed things in his paper
read at the worlds temperance con-
gress. His theme was "The Duty
of Church Members in the Temper
ance Reform. IN part he said:
"When the liquor traffic takes the
nation by the throat, you will find
that although Americans often wait
until the fifty-ninth minute CT the
eleventh hour before they arouse
themselves, they may, nevertheless
in momentous crisis, unlock from
their throat the grip Of the great
evil in the sixtieth minute.
1.-The day is coming when the
liquor traffic, unless we change our
fashions of municipal government,
will strain the republic as slavery
never did. When the path to
political preferment leads through
the gin-mills, free government is
farce, and its future is likely to be
tragedy"

product was Az, ,6Si, ,346 bushels. ana It's
value at 500 cents bushel was $780,
G02, $50. la this. the crushing fact
stands out in bold relief. that, though
the wheat product in 1896 exceeded that
of 1873 by lA6. .4l9,6i6 bushels. its value
was less than that of 1873 by sl2, ,902.-
275, and this robbery Of farmers was
zation Of silver.
But still more deplorable condition
of things appears in the disastrous de-
cline in the value of corn, the product
of which in 1878 was 1882. 274 900 bush
els, which at As cents a bushel was val
ued at Si47, 1873. 020. In 1896 the corn
product reached 2,2S3. .s75. l65 bushels.
an excess over the product OF 1878 OF
1851 .60l 1855. which valued at 2l.5
cents a bushel, amounted TO si9l. .006.-
967, an excess of value over the product
of 1873 of $40, ,s23, 967. If, however. the
value per bushel-4S cents-in 1873 had
been maintained, the product Of 1896
would have brought the farmers 81, l76,.
28l, ,OS0, or an excess of $685.. 1913, Sl3 over
what they did receive for their corn.
If the farmers desire to know the
chief cause of the hard times which
has visited them with greater rigor
than has fallen to the lot Of others. it is
found in the demonetization Of silver,
which, said Mr.. Hatch in his report.
"was bold stroke in the interest Of
capital that has reduced the value OF
every product i'll the world. This II
ooncluNvely proven by the fact that
Just as silver has deprecated. In like
proportion have all other values fallen
in the scale"
In other products. rye. oats, barley
potatoes. ETC.. the sum total OF loss fol
the entire product. comparing product
and prices in 1878 with product anc
prices in 1896, is equally startling. 9
loss so great. though demonstrated by
official figures. as to challenge credulty
If Farmers want still more of Republican
fnanciering. they can have it by voting
the Republican ticket i'll November

FREE COINAGE AN ISSUE

Notwithstanding Republicans Declare

In the political parlance of the cam.

We are in favor of the free and unlim.

aid or consent of any other nation.
1--WE are unalterably opposed to the
single gold standard. and we specially
protest against the declared purpose OF
the present Republican secretary Of the
treasury of applying that policy more
thoroughly. We believe that the prac-

Profits of Saloons.

According to the sworn statement
of saloon-keepers before the supreme
court Of the United States, the
average daily income Of a saloon is
SIS. There are in Cincinnati 40
saloons. Assuming that each re-
ceives $15 day, the aggregate is
IS, 900, 900 year. How much of
this is profit? A gallon Of beer
sells at wholesale for 20 cents. The
saloon-keeper receives for it so
cents, a profit Of 900 per cent. The
profits on whisky are even greater.
Surely the people of this city must
be prosperous when they can pay
such profits to 40 saloon keepers,
while they support but 1,101 gro
