SOUND MONEY DOLLARS.

In the course of his treatise on
the money question. Mr.. Charles
A. Towne says:
In all this fall of prfoes that
man who stands closest to nature,
who occupies the first place IN the
long line of production, changing
the face of chaos into the beauty
and comforts of civilization. the
farmer, has suffered and is suffer-
ing worst of all.
As well talk about a prosperous
manufacturer with an unprosper-
ous farmer behind him as to affirm
equilibrium of pyramid with its
base in the air. The farmer in
the United States purchases his
goods at retail. He sells at whole
sale. Wholesale prices always
fall FIRST. Therefore he suffered
doubly.
He pays the old price for what
he consumes long after he has
been in receipt of new and lower
price for what he sells. In addi-
tion to that, the farmer of the
United States has had toeneonnter
the competition of the producers
of raw material and food products.
which we export, in the silver
using countries of the world.
To-day you can buy in the silver
using countries those great ex-
porters of wheat and other similar
products which the American
farmer must meet in the neutral
markets of the world almost ex-
actIy the same quantity of those
products, that you could buy with
the same amount Of silver IN 1873.
The testimony of the English
commission In 1886, the tables
and figures prepared with 50 much
care by Consul Wetmore 1T
Shanghai. the experience of mer-
chants. all go to show what has
become matter of common know
ledge-that prices as rated in sill
yer have not materially changed.
in those countries in the last
twenty-three years. Consequently
they can continue to take the
same amount of silver for their.
products that they took then.
1t will pay as much debt as ever:
it VIII buy as many things as be-
fore. But the American farmer
must take his pay in gold. and as
gold has risen and silver fallen he
has had constantly to take the
gold price of the silver, which his
competitor could contine to take.
and thus the quantity of gold that
he could get for his competing
product has grown less.
Consequently it has operated
every time that silver has gone
down notch, as a discrimination
against the producer in the United
States exporting and selling his
produce in competition with silver
using countries, so that he has
had to encounter a restricted
market and a falling price for
ltwenty-three years. Its easier to
plant a field than to erect a
factory. Competition In agricuI-
ture is first felt.
