GREAT DECLINE OF FARM VALUES-—-WHO GOT IT.
Here are some more figures about farm values, and they are official. coming

From this $15,000,000,000 we must deduct the —— $4,000,000,000. 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.

among the American people (Census Report):

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 that one

gold. 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—

which they had previously gone into
use by weight, This, in Lydia, in the
Greek cities of Asia Minor and in
Gireece, was about 131 of sliver to 1 of
gold,
Max Mueller, the illustrious Oxford
Y Professor of Philology, gave it in 1850,
as the result of his researches into the
welghts of ancient coins, that the ra-
tio between gold and silver coin 8,000 |
years ago was 1 to 134,
In India and the far East the two
metals were early used as money in
The exact date when silver was first
used as money is not known, Gold,
silver and copper were known to the
Greeks in the time of Homer ; but ox-
en were still the standard by which
other things were estimated,
The first use of metals as money was
by welght, and in some parts of the
world their use in this way continued
for a long time. 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.
