It la a safe guess that Mr. Bryan will
not measure oratorical swords during
this campnlprn with either Senator
Thurston or representative Dolllver.
The County Convention's Woik.
The work of the Republican county
convention will undoubtedly commend
Itself to the voters of the party. The
ticket which It has nominated will not
only win at the polls, but It will prove
credit afterward. Harmony marked
Its nomination nnd harmony will be ex
pected to contrlrute to Us election. In
such a trim the party will prove Invin
cible. The nomination by ricrlamntlon of
William Connell forcontrresa ronfersap
proprlate honor" upon one of the coun
ty' foremost citizens. It Is unneces
sary at this time and In this place to
apeak at length of his recommendations
for the position of representative In
congress. Probably no person before
whose eye thin article will come is un
familiar with Mr. Connell's career or In
ignorance as to the honorable and gen
erous methods upon which It rest.
Although for years he has been one of
the recognized pillars -of; the, commu
nity, this Is the first presentation- of,
his name for an Important .elective
office; and while Mr. Connell Is to be
congratulated because of the unanimity
attending his nomination, the district
Itself may reasonably be regarded as
more the gainer than he. He gains
only s call to difficult labors; It gains
services that In any fair appraisement
would be worth many' multiplications
of the Involved pay.
In re-nominating the present county
commissioners the convention, simply
rewarded well-demonstrated merit.
Under their direction the internal af
fairs of the county government have
been carefully and economically at
tended to, the county finances have
been prudently and honestly adminis
tered and the high standard of former
years has been pushed still higher.
Such good work clearly merited recog
nition from the convention, and will
command even greater recognition at
the polls. The nominees for auditor are
bright and Intelligent young men, good
Republicans and candidates In every
way worthy .of support. With such a
ticket Jt ought to be only a question of
how large the) majority will be.

The Populists who make war on the
railroads of the country seam to forget
that If they don't want to pay car fafe
they can go back to the old system of
transportation of ox carts. No farm ni

docs use them is equivalent to confess
ing that they are better and cheaper
than the methods .which they have
superseded.
Chairman Jones and Senator Faulk
ner are doing their best to check the
free silver slump, but it isn't in their
power to do It.

WILLIAM M'KIXLEY.
-
The Women's Rescue league of De
trolt, after an animated debate, has
declared In favor of licensing the so
cial evil. This will no doubt provoke
a storm of Inuigualt protests, but It
seems to be the only expedient way
to an elective solution of a problem
that has resisted all other forms of
attack ever since the world began.
Why Prices Are Low.
An Instructive review of the condi
tion of th farmers of Wisconsin ha
Just been completed by Hal ford Eriok,
son, commissioner of the bureau of la
bor, census nnd Industrial statistics of
that state. Its results, while drawii
from only one stale, are of general
Interest nnd may not unfairly be taken
as applicable) to agriculture In general.
Mr. Erlckson finds that during a
period of at least ten years there hns
been a continuous depression In agri
culture. The farmers say they are
steadily losing ground; that they are
producing the largest share of the
wealth of the country while receiving
the smallest share for themselves; that
the receipts in farming are less In pro
portion to the outlay than In any other
Induvtry; that their burdens are yearly
growing heavier and their gains more
meager; that they are the bone and
sinew of the nation. That the farmers
are not complaining without cause Is
certain. The report shows that wheat
which It costs the Wisconsin farmer
thirty-eight cents to grow brings only
forty-five cents per bushel, leaving lit
tle practical margin. It also shows
that many products sell below the cost
of production. For Instance, from 1870
to 1875 the average yearly value of the
product of one acre each of wheat,
corn, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, po
tatoes nnd hay was $156.34. From 1S93
to 1895 It was $91.38, a fall of (64.96, or
of about 41.5 per cent.
The farmers themselves assign a va
riety of causes for this condition of
affairs. Among the causes mentioned
In the replies received by Mr. Erickson
to circular letters distributed by him
among farmers are "high taxes unjust
ly assessed, gold Btandard, free trad.',
Import duties, trusts, exorbitant trans
portation generally, corrupt legislators
nnd bad laws," etc. For his own part
he rejects most of these explanations,
and says:
While the caifses producing the present
depression were In operation prior to that
time, farming was profitable up to ten or
twelve years ago. My tables not only
show the extent of the fall In prices, but
that this fall Is largely If not entirely
duo to the fact that our power of produc
tion, Increases at a much greater ratio
than the consuming power, resulting In
What. In a sense, may be called overpro
duction. The effects of legislation affect
ing currency, the tariff, our relations
with foreign countries are undoubtedly
felt In our home markets, although usual
ly much less than was expected. Efforts
to "corner" the products by large pur
chases of tho visible supply by buying
futures or options sometimes have a men
acing effect, liut efforts to counteract
the. operation of the law of supply and de
mand by such methods seldom meet with
success, During the last twenty-live
years the percentage of the fall In freight
rates Is greater than that of tho fall In
prices generally, and the reduced cost at
which grain can now bo moved from In
terior Kints, or where produced, to the
centers of population bus undoubtedly
resulted in a gain to both producer and
consumer.
That our consuming power Is not In
creasing as fast as our productive power
Is plainly Illustrated by the following ta
ble. In which is shown the percentage of
Incrcare of population and of production
ami of the area under cultivation from
1S.0-71 to 1X00-9::
Percentage
of Increase,
Population 62.74
Production of wheat 81.71
Production of corn 70.09
Production of outs 1U2.U3
Production of hay 147.52
Number of cattle 123.84
Number of hogs 56.64
Free silver would not cause the popu
lation to Increase any faster than It is
increasing tqriay under the gold stand
ard, hence it would afford no new outlet
for' the present overproduction of farm
products and no relief for low prices. In
fact. It would make a bad condition
worse. '
It wtll conduce to a true understand
ing of the situation If Republicans will
remember that the St. Louis platform
pledges their party to promote an In
ternational bimetallic agreement, which
Is the only safe way that silver can be
completely remonetized without serious
toss to the working classes.
do'd Standard and Bond Sales.
A gentleman by the name of Amos
Jones, writing In a Washington paper
in defense of free coinage, makes this
Ingenious argument:
If a man has now one gold dollar and ono
60-cent silver dollar he can buy $2 worth
with them anywhere In this country, or
he can deposit them with his banker, take
a letter of credit to Europe, and buy $2
worth there. By so doing he gets J2
worth, and only gives one dollar and a
half's worth for It. Now, that difference
of 13 1-t per cent, has got to be made good
by somebody, and the government does
it. And In order to make good that dif
ference It was found necessary to sell
1262,000,000 of bonds during the last two
years, which means a tax of about SC.24
for each man, woman, and baby In the
United States, or about $31.25 for each fam
ily. To continue on a gold standard, as
we are now, means more bond sales, and
at the rate or $130,000,ono a year, how long
will It be before we are bankrupt and re
duced to the condition of the pauper la.
bor of Europe? You may build around the
country a Chinese wall of Protection If
you choose, but no amount of protection
or menus will enable us to take 11.60 to
Europe "d gat $3 worth,. as wo' are now
doing.
There Is no doubt that a good many
honest men believe with Mr. Jones that
to continue the gold standard will re
quire more bond sales. These men,
though, forget, that we had the gold
standard for fifteen years prior to the
year 1S93. had It In Identically the same
Ehaoe that we have it today, with our
silver Issue redeemable on demand in
gold, and were never compelled to sell a
single bond. Tho difference between
those fifteen years from 1S77 to 1S93 and
the bond-sefllng period since is that In
the earlier time we had a genuine Pro
tective tariff, under whose operation we
were enabled to make a. net Importa
tion of gold from Europe of $101,568,310,
whereas. In tho Interval since 1892, we
have had a half-done free trade law on
the statute books, which has failed to
produce sufficient revenue to pay cur
rent expenses, and under which we have
lost $197,531,10$ In gold through export
to Kurope. The gold standard can be
maintained easily enough without bond
sale when the government has ample
revenues and the business Interests of
our home producers have proper tariff
Protection. It only becomes trouble
some when Democratic free trade ex-t
pcrlmentatlon produces business stag
nation, unsettles confidence and drains
our gold supply to Europe.
But we must not forget Brother
Jones' first throe sentences. He admits
that under the, gold standard a man
with a gold dollar and a 50-cent dollar,
or, as he expresses it, a dollar and a
half, can today get In exchange $2 worth,
either nt home or abroad. Well, that
ought not to be a bad thing for the
American wage-earner or the American
pensioner. Better get $2 worth for a
dollar and a half than only $1 worth for
two dollars, as the free sliver men pro
pose. But the fact is that Mr. Jones'
Illustration Is Incorrect. The govern
ment. Instead of standing a loss of 33 1-3
per cent, in the coinage of sliver dollars
at present, buys sliver bullion at its
ruling market price and coins it into
dollars containing 371 grains of pure
silver. By this process It makes a
profit of nearly 50 per cent., which Is
called seigniorage. That profit Is ample
to cover any probable cost of redeem
ing this silver money In gold. Free coin
age wants to deprive the government of
this profit and hand It over to the own
ers of silver mines and silver bullion,
one of the rankest conceivable forms of
monopoly.
"The money of the United States,
and every kind or form of it, whether
of paper, silver or gold, must be as
good as the best in the world. It must
not only be current nt its full face
value at home, but it must be counted
ntparlu any and every commercial
center of the globe. The dollar paid
to the farmer, tho wnge-enrner nnd
the pensioner must continue forever
equal in purchasing and debNpnying
power to the dollar pnid to any gov
eminent creditor.'"McKinlcy in His
Speech of Acceptance.
Colonel McClure, who whatever his
political vagaries Is conceded to be un
expert mathematician, figures that 12$
electoral votes are sure to go McKln
ley; that In five states having 82 elec
toral votes the chances are ten to ona
In favor of McKlnley; that In eight
other states with 67 electoral votes tho
chances In McKinley's favor are na
good as five to one; and that In four
teen other states nvlth 119 electoral
votes the chances are even. Dividing
the oven chances and giving McKlnley
the rest, this guess provides him with
236 votes, or twelve more than enough
to nominate. But by November 3 the
chances most likely will be settled by
McKlnley taking all of them, and thus
securing his election by a vote of 390
to 51.
SILVER ARGUMENTS MET.
The points raised below are from the
Omaha paper of which Mr. Bryan was un
til recently the editor. Tho replies aro
from the Philadelphia Press, althoush
we have corrected one or two of them:
First Under tho gold standard there Is
a constant Increase In the purchasing
power of money. This is only another
way or saying that there is a constant
shrinkage in the prices of .property and
of the products of labor.
Answer This Is true as to commodities
whose product has Increased since the ex
isting gold standard was recognized and
accepted. It Is not true of nil commodities.
It Is least of all true of the most Import
ant commodity of all labor. This has
risen in value. A day's labor buys mora
of the necessities, the conveniences and
luxuries of life than It ever did before.
Farm products have fallen. Farm labor
hus n Jt. City labor has not. .Manufac
turing labor has not:. Even farm pro
ducts buy more cloth, more machinery
and meet more wants than ever before.
Low as wheat Is It takes no more bushels
to buy a mowing machine than before
1879, no more to buy a suit of clothes, to
pay for a newspaper or to furnish par
lor or kitchen. Capitalists have suffered
because lands, stock, etc., have fallen In
value and money hus fallen In Interest or
earning power, but the purchasing power
of labor has risen and the Joint .product
of land and labor, like crops, can be ex
changed for more than in 1879.
II II II
Second Tho shrinkage In prices In
volves ruin to those In business and bank,
ruptcy to those In debt, If long continued.
Answer If this were true then the pro
portion of people who fall would Increase.
Under a paper currency, from 1870 to 1S7S,
the proportion of those In trade who failed
was greater than In the years 1879 to 1895,
when the existing gold standard was In
operation. In 1878, the worst year under
paper,. i.r per cent, failed, or one In sixty-
four; In 1893, the worst year under the gold
standard, 1.28 per cent, failed, or one In
seventy-nine. If things were getting
worse for Business the proportion of fall
urea would grow. It has not. In fact,
failures began to be numerous under tho
gold standard only after sliver was added
to the currency. Until this was done,
failures were few. When this began to
have an effect, failures Increased. As It
Is, failures have not reached the relative
number In 1878.
II II II
Third It thus throws men out of em
ployment and thus reduces the demand
for manufactured goods, forcing factories
to run on half time and to reduce their
forces.
Answer As we have already shown, the
existing gold standard has not Increased
the relative number of failures. T.hoxe
which have come are due to the reduction
In tho tariff
II II II
Fourth The constantly increasing num
ber of failures involves heavy losses to
banks,- which are forced to curtail their
loans and reduce expenses.
Answer It Is not failures which have
caused the banks to con tract loans but
doubt as to tho currency. Why should
any man want to loan on a gold standard
when the Chicago platform wants to re
pay the loan on a silver standard worth
50 cents on the dollar?
Fifth The falling prices of farm prod
uets reduce thj Income of th farming
classes Immensely and render It next to
Impossible for farmers to pay rent or in
terest on mortgages or taxes.
Answer The falling prices of farm prod
ucts are due to tho competition of new
sources of supply, mada available by
cheap transportation. Argentina ts one
of these, unknown a few yours ago. No
colnuRo law can change this. Competi
tion reduces prices in all pursuits and the
only remedy is a change of product. Sil
ver will not help the farmer, because the
money ho makes by paying off a gold
standard mortgage In silver standard del
liers worth hulf us much will be lost In the
advance In prices of all he buys. As to
taxes, the Republican party, led by Blaine.
prrpesed to help the farmer by using the
federal surplus to pay for education in
the poor ctntes, but this was beaten by
southern and northern Democrats.
II II II
Sixth The farmer becomes a poor cus
tomer of the country store and the coun
try store In turns becomes a poor custo
mer of the wholesale merchant, so that all
commerce lo crippled.
Answer Look up the accounts and or
ders of any country store for the past
twenty or thirty years. You will find In
all that In commodities the farmer Is
buying more pounds of sugar, tea and cof
fee, more pairs of boots and shoes and
more cloth now than ho did. In dollars
he may pay less, but men don't eat ded
laro or drink or wear them. Test your
own knowledge of the consumption of
these articles by farmers not for single
years, but for a term of years. Note how
the freight movement, exclusive of grain
and provision, glows on tho railroads.
Some one Is using It or the roads would
not carry it. As a matter of fact, up to
tho disorder due to tariff changes and a
doubtful currency both tho farmer and
country store were consuming more than
ever. Fear of a silver basis has checked
consumption.
II II II
Seventh The railroads suffer a great
falling off In business and try to reduce
expenses by cutting salaries or discharg
ing men. Many go Into the hands of re
ceivers.
Answer Of course they do. Railroad
operation and expansion turn on credit
Shake credit by Injecting doubt Into the
currency and the railroads are shaken.
Restore credit and Nebraska will double
Its railroad mileage in the next ten years.
