Rince that, as all know, all property, farm products, and man- ufactured articles, have gone away down in price. According to the gold- bug theory prices should have re- mained high, Ifuander silver coinage prices of land and products were high, wasn't it a double crime in '73 to de- monetize silver and cause a fall in pri- ces to the ruination of thousands of farmers and business men? Don’t this simple fact prove that our gold standard move since '73 has brought only great harm to the farmer and la- boring class ? Farmers and working- men, here is the truth for you in a nut shell. —————— A Tire Mexican dollar is worth in this country only fifty-five cents, though it contains more metal than our own sil- ver dollar. But then the Mexican dol- lar is not receivable for customs dues and taxes in the United States, and it is not a legal tender here. That is why the Mexican silver dollar i= not worth as much as the American silver dollar. Put Uncle Sam's dollar stamp upon the bullion contained in a Mexican dollar and it would be worth one hun- dred cents in this great Republic of seventy million people, the richest and most powerful nation in the WHY THERE IS DISCONTENT, CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE. | cipal farm products—wheat, oats, hay, cotton, potatoes, beef, shown by the following table of crops of 1892 : Produce.

It leaves them worth $11,000,000,000 out of $62,000,000,000, while they represent 45 per cent, about one half, of our most industrious, hardest working and the most substantial portion of our population. DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH. These things all point to one more table, telling how wealth is distributed among the American people (Census Report): woven Ea La EI “Total for class. ~ §12,000,000,000 4,994,091 14,560.939.303 | 6,599,796 2,795,8g%8.000 Yet, according to some sarcastic wag, “they all get what they want.” “I want a dollar that is worth a dollar,” shouts the fool farmer, and be hauls two bushels of wheat to market that have cost him $1.40 to produce—and gets it. “I want a dollar that is worth a dollar,” yells the silly planter, and he carts to market 15 pounds of cotton that have cost him $1.30 to make—and he gets it. “I want an honest dollar,” howls the laboring man, and he does $2 worth of work--and he gets it. “1 want an honest dollar,” shrieks the hide-bound merchant, and he adver. tises his goods at panic prices—and he gets it. “1 want the earth and all that is on it,” says the money owner, and he quietly makes his notes and mortgages payable in gold— and be has almost got it, But the people of the United States, just now, are listening with serious, even dangerous, attention to the summary of John A. Logan : “You mav theorize and argue until Jou ase are : hoarse, . I you wi fail to get the peop to prefer low prices to high ones ucts.

They know well enough from experience that if you run down p lessening the currency there will be no correspond ries of county, state and municipal officers, nor in the debts they owe." With these Stubborn facts staring us in the face, we must exclaim: “How long 9 Lord, how long, will the people sleep?” It should not be forgotten by toilers and producers everywhere that this is the result of the money legislation, since 1873. It has robbed them of the fruits of their labor, it has wrecked their hopes and homes, and that is the righteons cause in which we are now engaged, an irrepressible conflict for the money of our fath- ers, free coinage of both gold and silver, that nist be won or the homes of our country are gone forever, for— A bold yeomanry, their country’s pride, When once Sestrayed © can never be supplied.

ILenormant says “Great and flourishing empires like those of Egypt, of Chaldea, and Assy- ria, have existed thousands of years in wealth and prosperity, with commer- cial relations as extensive as those of any people of antiquity, making use constantly of the precious metals in their business transactions, but entire- ly ignorant’ of the employment of (coined) money.” In this form silver was money ‘“cur- rent with the merchants” Abra- ham’s time, At what time and place coined mo- ney first came into in doubt. Herodotus credits the Lydians with the invention of the art of coining mo- ney. Pheidon of Argos is said to have coined silver at Egina in the eighth century before the Christian era. Silver, at any rate, was coined at an early period in Greece, found in the mines, which was 4 or 5 to 1.
