and why not? Cannot our people find
use for their hard earned money? 1t is
the great monopolies that are furnish
ing the money to fake the American
people into re-electing Mckinley.
Great stress is laid upon the claim
that the Philippine Islands are the
"key" to China. Another big fake-but
no absurdity is too great for use by men
who put 2 cents on sugar and so on
lumber. 1t would be just as sensible to
tell man in North Dakota who wanted
to bring goods from st. Paul that he
had better ship to Omaha, unload there
and reship to North Dakota points.
Hong Kong is the great entry to Chi

there are but four candidates, (,miting

FARM PRODUCTS ADVANCE.

At the Same Time Farm Supplies
Are Lower in Price.
If the trusts are all powerful and are
able to maintain and advance con-
stantly prices Of manufactures, as Mr..
Bryan is telling us hourly, how is it
that the prices Of nearly all articles
manufactured by trusts have fallen
during the present year. Figures just
published by the treasury bureau and
by Duns and Bradstreet's and other
standard publications. show that the
prices Of trust-manufactured goods
have decreased from 10 per cent to 40
per cent since Jan of the present year.
Curiously, too, during that time the
"defenseless farmer In whose behalf
Mr.. Bryan daily and hourly weeps, is
enjoying an advance of from 10 per
cent to 40 per cent in the price of his
products. These statements are fully
sustained by the official figures of the
treasury bureau Of statistics, prepared
for the current number Of the Monthly
Summary, and by recent issues Of Dun's
and Bradstreet's. Comparing prices at
the beginning Of the present month
with those at the beginning of the pres
ent year, a fall of from 10 per cent to
40 per cent is shown in certain manu-
features. Tinplate shows a reduction Of
"a per cent on Oct. 1, 1900, as compared
with Jan. 1, 1900; refined petroleum, 81
cent; wire nails, 30 per cent; barbed
wire, 26 per cent; Bessener pig iron, 46
per cent; steel rails, 26 per cent; yellow
pine lumber, IA per cent; sisal rope, ~
per cent; manila rope, 81 per cent;
-. e1,N 1F or{n
grades, from to 10 per cent; woolen
dress goods Of various grades, from 5
to IL per cent.
The prices of leading articles Of man.
ufacture and farm production are regu-
larly gathered by the bureau Of statis-
tics for publication in its Monthly Sum-
mary of Commerce and Finance, and 1t
is from this and the publications Of
Bradstreets and Dun's Review, the
Iron Age and the Cincinnati Price Cur
rent that the figures given herewith are
obtained.
While nearly all of the figures re-
1ating to manufactured articles show
reduction on Oct. 1, 1900, as compared
with Jan. 1, 1900, nearly all the figures
on prices of farm production show an
advance during the same time. Corn
shows an advance from 39h cents on
Jan. 1 to 4Sh cents per bushel on Oct.
1; wheat from 1873 cents on Jan. to
797 cents on Oct. /; barley from As
cents to SO cents; hogs from $3.50 per
hundred pounds to $3.50; cotton from
711-16 cents to 10B cents; cottonseed
from $12 per ton to s17.35.

ufacture, as shown by the official fig
ures Of the bureau Of statistics, supple

What They Have Made Above the
Prosperity Year 1900.
The farmers received $647, ,034329 more
for their crops this year than last.
They gained $685. 5S55,914 on the value
of their live stock, some being excepted,
as there are no official statistics on the
increase Of some.
The farmers are, in few words,
more than a billion dollars better of
this year than last.
The year 1899 was admittedly a pros-
porous one with the farmers, but the
value of nine of the principal crops Of
that year, as compiled by the United
States department Of agriculture, was
nearly $3.50, ,oOO,0 900 greater this year than
last.
The greatest increases were in corn
and hay, but the farmers received more
for every other crop, excepting oats.
The farmer knows how to vote this
year so as to remain prosperous and to
keep the consumers well clothed, we'll
fed and we'll employed.
The gains over the prosperous year
of 1899 are given herewith:

Editor Hope Pioneer:
Dear Sir: I shall not trespass on
your space again, but would like to call
attention to a few groundless claims u.s.
ed to deceive voters in this campaign.
Col. A. K. Mcclure and Carl Schurz
did more for the first election of Abra-
ham Lincoln in 1860, probably, than any
other two men. oo
They both favored Mckinley in 1896.
Now they both say the statements being
made in the attempt to re elect Mckin-
ley are the largest confidence games
ever attempted on the American people.
A veritable gold brick fraud. Let us
examine some of the statements made.
The claim that large market for wheat
exists in the Philippine Islands or Chi
ma, is shown to be false by the fact that
Australia and India, only few days
sail away, have sent all their surplus
wheat thousands Of miles further to
England. When completed, the Siber-
ian railway will lay down wheat at the
very door of China, but nearly all OF it
will be shipped to Europe to find mar
ket. The Chinese now raise little
wheat and have the soil and climate to
raise any amount they wish, but they
want very little-they are rice eaters,
and in order to sell them our wheat,
even if they wanted it, our farmers
would have to work as cheap as the
Chipese-1O cents day. The claim of
credit due Mckinley for the good busi,
ness lately enjoyed by American manu-
facturers is campaign yarn, as shown

And McKinley'll go marching on-

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
McKinley's marching on!
You've travelled through the country,
from the E asst unto the West,
And given to the, people Of your soph-

McKirley'll press the button and the
people'll do the rest,
And We'll all go marching on.
Chorus:
In 'e6 you prophe sled the country'd go

If you didn't run IT in the way that you
could tell;
Now the people know that in false
statements you excel,
So McKinley'll go marching on.

You say prosperity has not come to
the working man,
You know that for his welfare you

You know that your an xiety is moth

Chorus:
Now, Billy, the best thing to do-just

Stop talking everywhere about the

Still Mckinley goes ma rching on.
