The Democratic fault-inders base their
farmers in 1900 upon a different plane
from that of 1896. Then their complaint
was that the prices of farm products
were too low Now they complain that

Mr.. Bryan was nominated in Chicago
on July 10, 1896. and again at Kansas
City on July 5. 1900. Let US take the

and which has been widely discussed In
the study OF national economic questions
Of late years. Why not measure by this
A glance at the table which shows the
relative prices OF articles in 1896 and
1900 viii answer this question. 1t hap
pens that the percentage Of increase in
the price OF wheat Is less than that OF
any other article of farm production,
since wheat is more directly affected by
the production in other parts of the world
where crops have been generally good
during the last two seasons.
Wheat has only advanced 80 per cent
from 1896 to 1900. while corn advanced
As per cent. mess pork 60 per cent. lard
6S per cent and wool IS per cent. Now
il is easy TO see why the Democrats
happened" to select this particular item
wheat" by which TO measure everything
else. simply because it shows a smaller
increase IN price than almost any other
article in the list.
Yet they are gravely marching through
the agricultural regions Of this country
stating to the farmer that "a bushel Of
wheat in 1900 viii buy less Of the articles
which you consume than a bushel Of
wheat would buy Of those same articles
in 1896" Let Us accept the challenge.

Now let US follow the same general
plan adopted in the other comparisons
and by selecting ten principal articles o.
farm consumption, obtain their relative
prices in the New York market in 1896
and 1900, at the dates nearest Mr.. Bry-
ans nomination. and thus find out what
quantity OF each bushel OF wheat, 1t the
prices named at these two dates, would

sumption selected for this comparison are
equally representative with those Of farm
production above named, namely, sugar,
coffee, petroleum, rice, salt, leather, cot
