valued at 2O5 millions of dollars. One
hundred and s~eventy-five thousand far
mers caused the output of that enor
NOUS amount.
Colorado, on the West of Nebraska
produced 80 million dollars worth OF
silver and gold bullion.
The state of Nebraska should not be
made a party to a monetary system
by which an artificial price is put on the
product of Colorado at the expense OF
the products Of Nebraska.
Wheat, corn, rye, oats and all other
output of value from the farms OF Ne

manual and machine. These, efforts
bring out from the soil every variety OF
staple food for the human family. The
prices Of agricultural products are de-
termined by the relation OF the supply
of these products to the demand Tor
those products, Why should the gov
eminent interpose and, by statute, at
tempt to make prices for the mineral
or bullion output of Colorado, without
at the same time attempting to fix the
values of the food products of NebraskaS
The total gold and silver production
in the United States equals only 60 mil
lions or thereabouts annually; but the
total agricultural output of Nebraska
alone is 1905, 100000 annually. Why
