Here are Secretary Morton's figures:
Worlds wheat product for

After being convinced by Secretary
MortOn's statistics that the produc-
ton of wheat was less in 1896 thanit
wasin 1891, the gold-standard farmer
should seriously ask himself and his
political leaders why the price of
wheat averaged $50 cents per bushel
in 1891 and but 49.1 cents per bushel
in 1896.
Some gold-standard farmers will at
once reply that it is because Goldbug
Harrison was President in 1891 while
Goldbug Cleveland was President in
1896; but this could certainly not ac-
count for the state of the foreign mar
kets, and the Liverpool price of wheat
fell as low, proportionally, as the
Chicago price.
The price ofcotton has this year been
lower than has ever before been known
and the increased production of cot
ton has not kept pace with the in
creased consumption of it. The prices of
other farm products have fallen with
wheat and cotton, and with all other
products of labor.
But the necessary cash expenses
the fixed charges the farmers
and workingmen have not been reduc-
ed in anything like the same proper
ton. Taxes and house rent, on the
contrary, have increased. Freight
rates have been reduced, but are much
more burdensome than formerly, as
they are now a greater share of the
o. Ia 4ho,, hafC,-a
Debts have not been reduced one dollar
although the value of crops per acre
has been reduced, one-half.
This situation as it exist, therefore,
is satisfactory to usurers, railroad mo-
nopolists, landlords and officeholders,
whose incomes have not been reduced,
while the purchasing power of their
incomes has been doubled.
Wall street newspapers and orators
parade statistics to prove that pros
perity HIS returned, but farmers and
workin gmen ought to know that there
can be no revival of prosperity while
farm products are falling in price and
wages are being reduced. Statistics
prove the prosperity of usurers and
monopolists only. Business men
whose prosperity depends upon that
of the farmers and workingmen know
that they are making no Roadway,
and that the claims of the goldbugs
are fraudulent.
In the face of actual conditions Wall
street theories can not be forced upon
the people The gold standard and
the monopolies which fatten upon it
must go. PERCY PEPoON.

NOT 0VERPR0DUC TITO M

THE PRICE of wheat is lower this
year than it was last year;it was low
er last year thanit was ten years ago;
the average price of wheat has been
falling for the last thirty years, while
the supply of wheat, in proportion to
population, has been steadily decreas-
ing.
The Wall street editors and orators
insist that the fall in the price ofwheat
has been caused solely by enormously
increased production, caused by the
invention of selfbinding harvesters,
steam treshers, etc.
But the production of wheat has not
increased Probably every farmer who
has cast vote for goldbug candid
ate believes that the low price of
wheatis unavoidable because machin-
cry has increased its production until
the markets are glutted, but there is
no truth in the assertion which has
deluded them.
E Wheat fell in price from 1891 to
1896; yet the world supply ofwheat,
according to Goldbug Secretary of
Agriculture J. Sterling Morton's re-
ports, did not vary during the period
more than per cent any year, and
the supply was slightly less in 1896
than in 1891, and population was in
creasing year by year.
