Logan: “you may theorize and argue until you are hoarse, yet you will fall to get the people to prefer bushel of wheat at $1.25 in currency will buy one acre low prices to high ones for their products They know that one of Government land, while it takes two and a half bushels at so cents to purchase it, though it be in gold They know that §1 in paper, if legal tender, will pay $1 of taxes as well { They know well enough from experience that if you run down prices by gold 11 as $1 in lessening the currency there will be no corresponding decrease in taxes and sala. 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 0 Lord, how long, will the people sleep! It should not be forgotten by toilers and producers ev erywhere that this is the result of the money legislation, since 18573 y leg It has robbed them of gthe fruits of their labor, it has wrecked their hopes and homes, and that is the righteous cause in which we are now engaged, an irrepressible conflict for the money of our fath. erd, free coinage of both gold and silver, that must be won or the homes of our country are gone forever, for-- A bold yeomanry, their country's pride, When once destroyed can never be supplied. «Owing to the heavy rain on Wednes. day moming, the Lewisburg train was delayed three hours, A landslide at Hun tingdon blocked the main line and many trains passed over the Bald Ragle valley.

Now we see that there is a similarity of falling prices in wheat and silver and other productions. If we stopped here and found only a similarity it would be foolish to urge the parallelism. Remem. ber the price of wheat and silver in 1871. In Bond sold only 730,485 bushels of wheat in England and in 1892 India sold 59,000,000 bushels. India { has | always been on a silver basis, is to-day. | The Inia wheat is sold in Liver lon a i gold basis, but the India producer re- | ceives his pay in silver. dealer must buy the silver to remit to India for this wheat. of India wheat, considered in bushels, has been ever since the exportation of wheat and is to-day, one ounce of silver for one bushel of wheat. It follows that if the English dealer can buy one bushel of India wheat for one ounce of silver that he will not pay the American dealer more per bushel for his wheat then was the price of the ounce of silver, Our ver) patriotic secretaries of the treasury have always bought silver under the Bland and Sherman laws, at the lowest price ; that is they have always taken the Lon. don price. Itis plain that the London rice was the result of those rping so y cheapest, and hence the United States was also a bear on silver, putting it down to the lowest price.
