THE SCB-ANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY MORNING. AUGUST 1, 1806.
Points for Farmers to Consider in Connection With
'the IPree Silver Proposition.
The main appeal of the free silverites is to the farmers of the
country. It takes the specious form of telling them that the prices
of all their crops have been falling ever since 1873 because silver
has been denied coinage at the United States mint since that year.
With this as the starting point of all their arguments, the free
silver orators express the greatest confidence that if silver were
readmitted to coinage at the national mints at the ratio of 16 to 1,
and in unlimited quantity, the farmers would at once regain the
old prices of twenty-three years ago for their wheat, corn, cotton,
and other crops.
As a body, taking the country through, American farmers
have always been the most conservative class of voters. Their
daily life is spent in dealing with the hard, unchangeable facts of
nature, which makes them practical men of solid judgment, not
easily carried away with fanciful theories that do not justify them
selves to their common sense. We believe that the free silver
champions are reckoning without their host when they assume
that the great mass of our farmers are going with a wild rush to
the polls to vote for free silver coinage at a ratio which cannot
be justified by Thomas Jefferson's famous rule, which requires
that we should fix our ratio in accordance with the market
values of the two metals and the coinage laws of the several coun
tries with which we have the largest commercial dealings.
It may be true it probably is that a considerable number of
our farmers and planters, not having the time to spare to ex
amine closely and deeply into this money question, have been (
half persuaded that there is something in the theory that the
prices of farm products have gone down with and because of the
fall in the bullion price of silver. Many of them may very likely
be reasoning.that if the fall of silver s price lias been tne cause
of the fall of wheat and cotton prices, a rise in the price of silver
would brimr a corresnondiner rise in the price of their crops.
tut, before they cast their votes next November, the farmers
and planters are sure to inquire more particularly than they
have yet done what the actual consequences would be of free
silver coinage by the United States alone, and whether they
would be losers or gainers by the experiment. The more closely
they inquire the better it will be for them and the country, of
which Ihev are still the rulers on election day. Farming is still
the leading occupation of the American people, and the farmers
have more votes to throw than any other class. It follows that
if this question, is decided wrongly and injuriously to American
interests, the farmers and planters will be the heaviest sufferers.
Therfore, we subnfit to all of them who are numbered among
our readers that if is time for them to put the free silver claims
to the test of a few matter-of-fact questions.
First, is it true that the prices of farm products have fallen
since 1873 because the market price of silver bullion has been de
clining? If they will look at the figures that tell the story of the
prices of silver as compared with the prices of their products
for the past twenty-three years, they will discover that it is very
far from befng true. Not even wheat and cotton have kept close
to silver in the rising and falling of their prices since 1873, though
they have, quite by accident, kept more nearly to silver in their
fluctuations than any other farm product. Of course, if it were
true that silver, bv its rise or fall in price, regulated the prices
of all other things, we should not find in the prices of the last ten,
twenty or thirty years that while one product of the farm went
down in price silver was going up, nor that silver was going
down in price while certain other farm products were going up.
Yet that is exactly what has happened all the time and what Is
happening today. Silver does not keep pace at all, and never
has kept pace, in an even way, with the prices of farm products.
If it were otherwise, and the free-silver fiction were true, so that
the price of everything the farmer raises could be fixed by fixing
the price of silver, we should not blame the farmer for wanting
a law passed declaring silver to be worth twice as much in the
United States as in any other country in the world.
But it is not so. The price of silver in London in 1873 wa3
$1.29 per ounce. The price of wheat per bushel in the same year
was $1.31. The price of cotton per pound in the same year was
eighteen cents. Now the very next year (1874), silver coinage
having been stopped, we should expect to find, if the free-silver-ites
are speaking truly, the prices of silver bullion, wheat and cot
ton all going down together. But they did not. ' Silver went
down in 1874 to $1.27 per ounce, but the price of wheat went
up to $1.43 per bushel, while the price of cotton fell off three
cents per pound. Neither the rise of wheat nor the fall of cotton
prices kept even pace with the fall of silver's price, for the simple
reason that the price of either one of those three articles had no
influence whatever on the prices of the other two. Again, in
1878 wheat sold at $1.34 per bushel, higher than in 1873 by three
cents per bushel, but silver had fallen to $1.15 per ounce. In the
same year cotton was soid for eleven cents per pound, a fall of
seven cents per pound since 1 873, though silver had not fallen to
anything like the same extent. In 189) silver rallied in price to
$1.04 per ounce from ninety-three cents per ounce in 1889. But
wheat did not rally with it. On the contrary, wheat fell from
ninety cents per bushel in 1889 to eighty-three cents per bushel
in 1890. The next year (1891) wheat advanced two cents per
bushel over 1890, but silver fell off fourteen cents per ounce,
while cotton held right up to the previous year's price, just as
if nothing had happened to send wheat up or silver down.
Now suppose the farmer turns to corn prices and compares
them with silver prices. In 1873 corn sold for thirty-four cents
per bushel. Of course the moment silver was refused free coin
age the price of corn should have gone steadily down as well as
the price of wheat that is, if there was any truth at all in the free
silver argument. But corn has not gone down uniformly with
silver for the past twenty-three years. Far from it. The price
of corn in 1879 was forty-nine cents per bushel, a rise of fifteen
cents over 1873. In 1880 corn sold for fifty-four cents per
bushel, and in 1882 it sold for eighty cents per bushel, two and a
half times as much as it sold for in 1873. All the time silver
was dropping. In 1894 corn was selling for fifty cents pef
bushel, a rise of sixteen cents over the 1873 price, although sil
ver had dropped in the meantime from $1.29 to sixty-three cent3
per ounce. So that while silver had fallen off fifty per cent, in
market value, corn had risen to nearly the same extent.
We might multiply these illustrations indefinitely, but these
will suffice to establish the point that there never has been the
slightest relation of cause and effect between the decline in the
prices of farm crops and the decline in the price of bullion silver.
And this point is the pivot of the whole question so far as the
farmers are concerned, who think to improve their condition
through free silver coinage. They are told by every free silver
authority that the value of their crops has diminished every year,
steadily with and in even proportion to the falling price of silver
bullion. That is not true, as they can find for themselves by
comparing price lists since 1873. And, if that is not true, then
it cannot be true either that to artificially inflate the market price
of silver by giving it free coinage at our mints at a ratio which
overvalues it by nearly fifty per cent above its market price all
over the world, would give the farmer the benefit of the same
over-valuation or flat rise in the price of his crops. The farmer's
common sense must tell him that no such magic way of raising
the prices of his crops can possibly exist. He will get more or
less for his wheat, cotton and corn, just as he always has done,
according as there is a larger or smaller demand for them in the
world's markets, including those of his own country. I f he should
vote to give the silver mine owner a coined dollar for fifty cents
worth of his silver ore, that will be a good thing for the mine
owner, but it would certainly not induce the farmer's customers,
either at home or abroad, to give him one dollar per bushel for his
wheat if the supply of it should be so large relatively to tne de
mand, that it could be bought of other people for sixty or sixty
five cents.
There are other views of this money question which the
farmer will need to consider, but he will do well first to rid his
mind of the foundation fallacy of all the free silver delusions. A
little close scrutiny of the price list will enable him to grasp the
fact firmly that the prices of his wheat, corn and cotton never
have gone up or down with the prices of silver bullion, and from
that fact he will be perfectly safe to infer that they never will.

GLANCE AT POLITICS
IN WASHINGTON
Hoke Smitfc 4he Only Cabinet Officer
Who Will Support Bryan.
CAMPAIGN WILL BE EDUCATIONAL
legator Gorman, of Maryland, Hue
Consented to Coach Seaator Joaes,
Chairman of the DemocratioPopu
little Organizations-Speculation
to the Successor of Seaator Don
Cameron,
' Bureau of The Tribune,
601 14th Street, N. W.,
Washington, July 31.
There is every reason for believing
that Hoke- Smith, secretary of the in
terior, Is the only member of President
Cleveland's cabinet who will openly
support Bryan and Bewail. To do so
will likely cost him his official head.
Some days ago it was reported here
that his resignation was already In the
hands of the president. When asked
about it. Secretary Smith declined to
discuss the subject. His silence only
confirmed the rumor In the minds of
politicians. Secretary Smith has been
summoned to Gray Gables, where he
will be given an opportunity to explain
bis recent advocacy of silver and his
departure from the administration's
policy.
Secretary Carlisle will likely vote for
Bryan and Sewall, but he will take no
active part In the campaign. The other
members of the cabinet may take the
tump In favor of sound money. Post
master General Wilson has served no
tice on employes In his department that
they must not mix up In politics. Hia
order is construed to mean that all
Democratic employes can remain away
from the polls on election day without
fear of being accused of party treach
ery. Secretary Lamont. of the war de
partment, may vote for Bryan and
Sewall, but he will take no active part
In the campaign. Secretary Herbert, of
the navy, has declared his Intention not
to support the Chicago ticket, but he
may find it convenient to be on a tour
of inspection In some far away port on
election day. Secretary) Morton, of the
agricultural department, who has al
ways opposed Bryan, and who was
largely responsible for the latter' de
feat for United States senator two
year ago. Is being urged to come out
for the ticket and stump not only Ne
braska, but other states. Secretary
Morton Is such a pronounced advocate
of the gold standard that he will no
doubt turn a deaf ear to the appeals of
the silverites and - either come out
squarely for McKlnley and sound
money or remain silent during the
campaign. Attorney General Harmon
ever figured very extensively in poll
ttoa, He ia for the gold standard, and
may vote for Major McKlnley, but he
prefers to support a sound money
Democrat.
That the coming campaign will be an
educational one cannot be gainsaid.
Both congressional committees, whose
headquarters were in this city have
large forces of clerks at work sending
out literature of all kinds to every sec
tlon of the country. The demands for
documents bearing on the financial
question Is very great. Neither Chair
man Babcock nor Chairman Faulkner
are ready to make positive statements
on the result Of ceurse, they both
claim that their respective parties will
win, but neither of them Is talking
very confident or very loud. They both
recognize the fact that it Is going to
be a hard fight. There does not seem
to be any abatement to the free silver
craze. It seems to be gathering
strength as It progresses in Its wild
chase across the country. The advo
cates of sound money have three
months In which to head off this craze,
for It is nothing more than a craze.
They must lost no time. Republicans
should not depend on their apparently
apathetic and sulking Democratic
neighbors to pull McKlnley, Hobart and
sound money through. There are
enough Republicans In this country
who favor honest money and the up
holding of the national credit to elect
their candidates if they will only come
out and work. If they depend upon
Democratic votes they may be left. If
all the Democrats who have thus far
repudiated Bryan, Sewall, Watson and
free silver can be held In line for Mc
Klnley, Hobart and sound money, there
can be no doubt about the result. Or if
the Democratic party can be split in the
pivotal states by a third ticket the con
tinuance of the present monetary
standard will be likewise assured.
The guiding hand of the Democratic
national committee will not be that of
Senator Jones, although he Is the chair
man. It will be Senator Gorman, of
Maryland, who will do the manipulat
ing for the Democratlc-Popullstlc tick
et, just as Senator Quay will do the
fine work for the Republicans, Sena
tor Gorman at heart is a gold or sound
money man, but be is willing to lay
aside his personal feelings for the sake
of party success. He refuses to accept
a position on the national committee,
but has agreed to coach Chairman
Jones during the- campaign. Senator
Quay will be the power behind the
throne of Hanna. Senators Quay and
Gorman are the greatest political gen
erals of the age, and when they cross
swords a decidedly Interesting fight is
assured.
The question who will succeed Don
Cameron In'the United States senate is
frequently discussed by politicians In
Washington. There are several gentle
men who are anxious to be Senator
Cameron's successor. Congressman
"Jack" Robinson has been a etandlng
candidate for several years, but his
chances ot succeeding are about a rare
as a cool day In Washington In July or
August.
Then there is State Senator Boise
Penrose, Senator Quay's very able lieu
tenant In Philadelphia. The senatorial
bee Is troubling him a great deal these
days. He has the endorsement of one
Huntington county. He secured it
after a very hard fight with the friends
of ex-Postmaster General Wanamaker.
Of course Penrose will have some sup
port among the Philadelphia delega
tion in the next legislature, but it Is
doubtful If he can muster a sufficient
number of votes to make him a for
midable candidate without the flat
footed support of Senator Quay. With
the latter's backing Penrose could no
doubt be elected, but it is not believed
here that Senator Quay will give Pen
rose his earnest support. Penrose is a
"good fellow," as the boys say, but he
hardly sizes up to the office. In this
respect he resembles "Jack" Robinson.
Senator Quay has bo far expressed no
preference, and the chances are he will
not. He will leave the race open to all
up to a certain point, and then he will
take a hand.
The friends of Governor Hastings are
claiming that he will succeed Senator
Cameron. He may or he may not. If
Senator Quay decides that his election
to the United States senate would be a
good political move Mr. Hastings has
the first call. Otherwise he has not.
With Hastings out of the gubernatorial
chair it would make Lieutenant Gover
nor Lyon, Senator Quay's faithful
friend in Allegheny, governor. Lyon,
as governor, would, in many respects,
be very useful to Quay. There would
be no danger of him not doing just
what he was told to do. But It might
complicate matters In the next guber
natorial campaign. Of course Lyon
could not succeed himself as governor,
but the fact that he halls' from the
same county as Colonel William A.
Stone, who is said to be Senator Quay's
choice for the next governorship, would
handicap the colonel's candidacy some
what. The argument would be used by
the other candidates that Allegheny
was not entitled to the nomination on
account of just having had a partial
term of governor. This fact may pre
vent Governor Hastings from being the
successor of Cameron.
On the other hand It Is claimed by
some of Governor Hastings' friends that
he Is not a candidate for the United
States senate to succeed Cameron. He
prefers to wait until his term of gover
nor expires, they say, and quote the
governor as saying that he "would rath
er be governor of the great State of
Pennsylvania than be anything else."
Speaker Reed is one Republican who
does not believe that the coming Presi
dential fight can be won through ause.
Like the broad-gauged statesman that
he is Mr. Reed has risen to the occasion
of this campaign. His speech at Alfred,
Me., Is dlnerent in tone than any yet
made In the campaign, and practically
pitches the fight on a very high plane.
"If I were going to give good advice)
to the people ot the United States,"
said Mr. Reed to the farmers gathered
around him, "I should take this time to
do it."
He then proceeds to lay aside preju
dice and to argue the case free from
passion. It is probable on this line that
this campaign will be made. Sectional
Issues have been eradicated, so that ar
gument must be met In the argument
and whatever prejudices there may be
In this question they must be provided
by calm, deliberate reason. At the Dem
ocratic headquarters Mr. Reed's speech
Is looked upon as one long, unanswer
able argument. W. R. B.
