Some claim that it is over-produc-
ton that causes low prices, but if the
matter is investigated closely it will
be found that inability to purchase
on the part of the consumer is the
real cause. A milk dealer in Chicago
says that three years ago it took only
900 families to consume his product,
while now the same amount of milk
supplies ], 200 families. Why? Simply
because their ability to purchase
under present conditions is decreased
by one half, and the families that
used to buy two quarts of milk now
can only buy one.-Farm, Stock and

will be verified. The impression, how
ever, that by purchasing stamps at the
rate of tax now levied, affixing them to
goods and getting the same removed
from the factory premises of manufac-
turers, the manufacturers or their Gus
toners will reap a very decided profit
when the tax is advanced by being able
to add the same to the price of such
goods is erroneous. The law, it is
stated, will contain special provision

products may be found when the law

OUR CANDIDATE in 1900
Patriotism and Pay-triotism--the
Difference.

The patriot stands ready to sur
render himself and all he possesses for
humanity and tor his country. Life
without liberty and the privilege OF
pursuing his own happiness and well
fare, in every manner, not inconsis-
tent with the equal rights of others,
to the patriot would not be worth
living. From his government he
asks no special privileges that must,
If granted, be at the cost of his fellow
man. He asks for no law that will
shower opulence upon himself while
reducing others to poverty. All the
burdens of government in the admin
istration of law, be is at all times
ready to bear in proportion to his
means. He does not make conditions
with his government before coming
to its support in the hour of need.
This is the Patriot.
Another class headed by syndicate
of gold gamblers and bankers, while
making loud professions of devotion
and loyalty, always coupled with con-
ditions, may be termed the Pay-tri-
otto class. Their aid to the govern
ment depends exclusively upon the
profit it will bring to them in dollars
and cents. The Individual, not of
this class, if he invests in a govern
ment bond of 500, $500, $1,000 or any
other sum, must pay the entire
amount of the face of the bond he de-
sires TO purchase, and he periodically
does so.
The national banker of the Pay
triotic class when he buys bond of
amount any really invests but 10 per
cent OF the amount. For 800 bond
he invests $40; for a $1,000 bond his in
vestment is only $780, To this class
the government issues national bank
notes for 80 per cent of the face of the
bonds and is seeking to have the law
so amended that the banker will re-
ceive such notes to the full face of the
bond. Now note the difference in the
interest value of the two investments,
The banker draws the rate of inter-
est provided for in the bond issued
for $1,000 at per cent, his interest on
the bond is $50 per annum paid quar-
terly. He has also 5000 in national
bank notes for the redemption of
which the government, that is the
people, are responsible, this 5000 at
8 per cent brings him in $72, which
added to the interest on his bond
gives him $102 annual interest with
but 800 invested. The farmer, who
has periodically invested $1,000 in
bond gets but $50 per annum for his
investment.
The syndicate Of gold gamblers and
bankers demand this advantage over
the farmer or ordinary citizen before
they will invest in government securi-
ties. They also demand that the
income thus increased to them by the
operation of law, shall bear no pro-
portion of the taxes required to sup
port the government which has given
them this advantage over the taxed
individual. This is part of the
difference between Patriotism and
Pay-triotism.
