The principal aim of the popo
crats in the present campaign is an
endeavor to make the farmer be
lieve that as a class he has been
the most discriminated against.
Yet the proposition is an untrue
one. Go into the homes of any
class of citizens laboringbusiuess
or other since the beginning- of
this agitation for a change of mon
etary standards and there you will
find greater distress than is pre
valent in the home of the average
husbandman. That the price of
-wheat, and other agricultural pro
ducts, has not decreased on account
of the "crime of 1873" is best
provea by the following-compilation
of Chicago prices in periods of five
ears, and they should be carefully
preserved and flashed upon the
deluded victims of this free
silver fallacy. Chicago is taken as
a basis, as that was and is our
principal market. The figures are
those given in the market quota
tions upon the dates given, and
were the current ones paid by com
mission men: No. 2 wheat 1871 to
1875 inclusive, average price 91
cents; 1876 to 1880, same, $1.04;
1881 to 1885, same, $1.00; 1886 to
1890, same, 73 cents; 1891 to 1895,
same 71 cents; from 1871 to 1880,
inclusive, average price 97i cents:
from 1S81 to 1895, inclusive, aver
age price 81 K cents. No. 2 corn
1871 to 1875, average 44 cents; 1876
to 1880, same 38 cents; 1881 to 1885
same, 57 cents, 1886 to 1890, same.
37 cents; 1891 to 1895, same, 45
cents; from 1871 to 1880, average
price 41 cents; from 18S0 to 1895.
average price 46J cents. No. 2
oats 1871 to 1875, inclusive, aver
34 cents; 1876 to 1880, average 27
cents; 1881 to 1885, average 34 J
cents; 1S86 to 1890, average 25J
cents; 1890 to 1895, average 30 cents;
average price from 1871 to 18S0, in
clusive 30i cents: lrom 1881 to 1895,
same, 30 cents. In contrast with
the above here are the figures upon
a few of the articles which the
farmer has to buy: Farm wagon in
1895 for $55, in 1871 he paid $100 to
S110: spring wagon in 1895 for $65,
in 1871 from $125 to $150; corn cul
tivator in 1895 for $16; in 1871 he
paid $35; sewing machine in 1895
for $25; in 1871 he paid $55: barbed
-wire in 1877 was 3 cents per pound,
in 1871 it was 13 cents; linseed oil,
wholesale, in 1895 for 33 cents per
gallon, in 1871 wholesale price 75
cents; shingles in 1S95 for $2 per
thousand, in 1871 he paid $4 for the
same. These statistics might be
extended indefinitely and yet they
would only show that the tiller of
the soil has not been unduly dis
criminated against, but on the
other hand has met rather more
than his share of reward in the
struggle incident to human life
from the time when God first or
dained that by the sweat of man's
"face he should earn his daily bread.
Mr. Manley said just-before the
election that there were 80,000 re
publicans in Maine, their largest
vote, that in 188S, having bean
79.401. The natural inference
now is that the state is full of dem
ocrats who know when the honor
of the country is assailed and are
quick to resent it,
Lieut. Gov. Sheehan states the
case in an apt and forcible way
-when he says that no law has yet
been able tc make all men honest;
but no law should compel them to
be dishonest." Aud it is safe to
predict that the American people
will not decide in favor of such a
method of doing busines.
AFTER-the election the curbstone
silver orator who travels with a pal,
a pretended gold man, will- revert
to his origional vocation as assist
ant to Peter Funk auctioneer, or
half partner in a shell game.
If the Bryan party is the demo
cratic party it is treating with con
tempt the only man whom it elected
president in thirty years, whom it
nominated three times; who led it
to victory twice, and once to com
plete control of all departments of
the government. It is entirely
reasonable to maintain that the
Bryan party is new and will
die young.
Arkansas is a little state with
neither savings banks nor building
associations. In 1892 the state
had one bank, with 844 depositors.
By the time the state had aided in
electing and inaugurating a demo
cratic president the savings bank
was gone. The alleged democratic
majority would be impossible in a
state where labor made savings
out of its pay. Philadelphia Press.
o -
Botjrke Cocran spoke in Omaha,
but made no allusions to "being in
an enemy's country." It is only
the genuine Bryanite who seeks to
array section against section and
class against class. It should be
said, however, that to Bryan's credit
that he has tried to explain this un
fortunate allusion, but it would be
.more to his patriotism if his
speeches had less in them cultivat
ing the passions of his hearers,
Sixth district populists are put
ting on a bold but gloomy front and
pretend to believe that Judge Green
will be elected to congress, but
down in their hearts they know
better, and there are many of them
who will even be glad when Cadj's
election is announced. There are
a great many populists as well as
some other people, who think that
a political candidate ought not to
play 4,cholly hoss" with the judi
ciary. Kearney Hub.
When "the great crime of 1873"
was enacted.the statistics show the
United States had just $774,000,000
in circulation. In 1895 this same
oppressed and down-trodden people
had $2, 217, 000, 000; but owing to free
trade, tariff for revenue, and free
silver excitement, it was piled away.
The plain thing to do is to start
that $2,217,000,000 on its rounds.
It can be done by opening up the
nation's workshops and giving the
millions work; and in no other way.

THE PLAIN PEOPLE."
Bryan's Absurd Efforts to Create Class Dis
tinctions In America.
The talk about the plain people that
has just emanated from the Bryan na
tional campaign committee, and is of
ten heard from Bryan himself and his
supporters, is ridiculous or mischievous,
or both. It is an attempt to create a
class that does not exist in this country
and to divide American citizens by lines
which are fraudulent in the case of
those who make the distinction and
imaginary in those who accept it There
is no "plain people" class in this coun
try. It would be interesting to learn
how those who are glibly using the
term define its meaning. The truth is
that, if there are plain people, they per
vade all classes, or all classes that have
tho spirit of Americanism in them.
There are people of various degrees
of intelligence and of wealth, and
of different occupations with a view
to earning a living and doing their
work in the world, but there is no class
which has a monopoly of "plainness. "
Illiterate people are not plainer than
intelligent people. Men who wear ready
made clothing have no claim to be called
plain above those who order clothing
made for them by tailors. A small in
como does not imply a man plain abovo
another who has a larger one. Boston
Herald.
Farmers Whoso Farms Aro Prosperous.
There aro a great many prosperous
farmers today in spite of low prices.
They aro farming farmers. There are
others who do not prosper. They are
largely the political farmers. The reason
is this: The successful farming faimers
have been studying the most economical
methods of production, the most profit
able varieties of farm products and tho
changing opportunities offered by the
market, while tho political farmers have
studied "Coin's Financial School" and
the question how free coinage would
give them double prices for what they
would have laised if their financial
studies had not absorbed so much of
their time and attention. Candid reflec
tion will convince them that the remedy
urged by the freo coinage men, being
based upon a false diagnosis, will not
only cure but immensely aggravate the
trouble complained of. It is a case of
jumping from the frying pan into the
fire. Carl Schurz.
What We Need.
It is not an increase in the volume of
money which is the need of the time,
but an increase in the volume of busi
ness; not an increase of coin, but an
increase of confidence; not more coin
age, but a more active use of the money
coined; not open mints for the unlim
ited coinage of tho silver of the world,
but open mills for the full and nnre
stricted labor of American working
men. William McKinley in His Letter
of Acceptance.
The Contradictory Popocrat Ticket.
Can you get any reform by electing
Bryan and Sewall? Don't get in front
of the wagon. Sewall stands for tho
monopolistic interest, the same interest
that McKinley stands for. He is a
banker, a railroad king and a tool in
the hands of the capitalist. Sewall is
the contradiction of everything that
Bryan is. He has no place on the plat
form. Tom Watson of Georgia.
