Special Correspondence of The
Washington Herald.

Madison. Wis, Feb. 14.-when I
called upon Prof. E. A. Ross, head
OF the department of economics of
the University of Wisconsin. to give
up the scientific recipe for reducing
the H c. l.. to its irreducible mini
mum, he said:
II don't believe there exists any
thing like the profiteering that is
claimed. The trouble is that the
surplus of money has reduced the
value of the dollar. That Is about
all there is to it But that is not
an unmixed evil. 1t enables the
man who is in debt to pay OF his
Indebtedness with a 5O-cent dollar.
1t Is pretty hard on us who have
fixed salaries and on those with
fixed incomes, but this condition is
always to be expected after a war"
"Bryan wns Right"
1T comes pretty near fulfilling
Bryan's preachments Of a quarter
Of a century ago, does it not?"
Absolutely And Bryan was
right"
We are about on the Bryan basis
Of 1s-to-1.' aren't we?'
Worse than that, The silver dol
lar is actually worth. in metal. s1.02
in gold. and the. ratio is about fif-
teen and A half to one. II Bryan
undertakes to advocate his old ratio
of sixteen to one, he will be a
'goldbug crucifying us upon a
cross of gold He will not want
to do that, surely"
I then asked Professor Ross as to
what are the general conditions in
Wisconsin among the farmers and
whether the Nonpartisan League
had become active in Wisconsin To
these questions he replied:
Our farmers are prospering-
through diversified farming. The
Nonpartisan League is making an
effort to control the Equity So
ciety. which has a membership of
$4,000 farmers in this State. The
league came near getting control
at the last meeting and may sue
ceed next time. But our farmers
have no such grievance as the Da-
kota and Minnesota farmers had.
which became the basis of the Nom
partisan League movement in those
States. The abuses of the farmers
by the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce forced the farmers to
take defensive measures. And then.
when they found that they had the
power. they may have gone to ex-
tremes."
At this point I suggested: "It is
said they legislated all the func-
tions out from under the Office of
the State superintendent of public
instruction. Miss Nelson (who had
