SI.OOAYEAR, IN ADVANCE.
Friday, Aug. 20,1897.
The Bepublicau party all over
the State appears to be very active,
while the dark lantern work ofj
Gorman and his lieutenants seems
to have taken all the life out ol the
Democrats.
The greatest wave that ever bore
the Republican party on to victory
and the politicians to spoils was
waving the bloody shirt. The party
never had such another wave and
probably never will.
The way the Diugley tariff pro
tects the people is to make it prac
tical for the sugar trust to take
$12,000,000 out of the pockets of
the people. But the trust is willing
to give one million of that to swell
the party’s campaign fund. See !
Last November there were more
votes cast for Bryan than for Cleve
land four years before and Cleve
land beat Harrison so badly that
he appeared by the returns to have
hardly been running. Where did
so many votes come from for
McKinley ?
The Perryville Record and Whig
are engaged in tossing up chaff to
take the attention of the public
from weightier matters. Stop your
chaff play, boys, and telljthe public
what solid national principles you
stand for. Get onto the field of
Waterloo like old Blucher and
don’t fool with trifles on the way.
The goldbug papers with the
gravity of owls quote the price of
silver and add, “at this price the
intrinsic value of the standard sil
ver dollar is” —They change its
“intrinsic value” every day, but
the money value keeps right along
100 cents. If there was any such
thing as “intrinsic value” there
might be some point in these dole
ful reiterations, but there being no
such thing their parrot repetitions
mean nothing. They quote the
market value of silver bullion which
has nothing to do with the United
States dollar. They might with
the same display of common sense
and regard for truth say in lugu
brious terms the “intrinsic value”
of the greenback dollarisone-fourth
of a cent! The price of silver, or
gold, or paper has nothing what
ever to do with the value money
represents.
The Farmer’s Wheat and Qoldbug
Prosperity.
The great daily slave papers of Plutoc
racy are whooping and yelling that pros
perity has come, that the city merchants
are filling orders for the West and North
and Southwest at such a rate as makes
their heads swim, and that the western
merchants give them glowing assurances
of the unparalleled and unprecedented
boom of prosperity which has suddenly
appeared in those wheat growing regions
of the nation.
This is very pleasant news and partially
true. There has been an immense crop
of wheat harvested in this country. Al[
other wheat exporting countries have
failed to produce as much, or any more
wheat than sufficient to bread them, con
sequently the demand for wheat from
Europe has all fallen on the United States
and wheat has raised to So and 90 cents a
bushel with upward tendency at Atlantic
shipping ports. Under normal monetary
conditions wheat would be above #1.50 a
bushel. The present large crop and slight
advance in price is putting farmers of the
wheat growing States in possession of a
little money, but nothing like what they
should have if the country was not
cursed by the British gold standard.
With the little extra mouey above cost
which the farmers have they are purchas
ing some clothing for their families to
take the place of the woruout rags they
have been compelled to wear, and replac
ing farm implements; when the bills for
these things and their taxes are paid the
farmer’s wheat money will all be gone
and things will drop back to their old
level. This will occur within a few
months. In order to replace the woruout
duds and necessary farm tools, western
merchants are ordering goods from the
eastern merchants and manufacturers.
The ragged farmers of twelve or fifteen
wheat States in the west in the aggregate
will require a good deal of stuff and the
goldbug papers are representing the tran
saction as almost a phenomena. The
same and a great deal larger boom ought
to occur every year and would if the gold
English financial yoke was not on the
necks of the American people.
Transporting grain to the sea coast and
merchandise west is taxing the railroads
and the stock gamblers of Wall street
have bid up the price of stocks on the
strength of the farmer’s wheat some
$200,000,000, and the slave papers of
Plutocracy are trying to make the people
believe that it is all owing to the Dingley j
tariff. The whole truth about the tariff j
and advance of prices is that the sugar
trust has advanced the price of sugar, and
have been enabled to do so on account of 1
the Dingley tariff giving the trust a mo
nopoly of sugai. The demaud of the |
ragged farmers for clothing has enabled
rriEjzE JvmpxjAJsrxp atjoust 20, 1897.
the manufacturers to sell their old stocks
for something near cost and some of them
are starting their mills to fill orders.
This plain statement of simple facts
covers the whole ground of the slave
papers liallabuloo over “permanent pros
perity” which has come to stay for a long
series of years. The truth is that the
improvement in business is very slight
and partial, and a mere drop in the
bucket Look about and see if any gen
eral improvement is visible. Are people
more able to collect little bills or pay
them than they were a year ago ? Where
is this great business revival to be found
outside of the city papers? Mechanics
and laborers do not feel it. The city
papers appear to think if they keep up the
brag and bluff that the people will be
| induced to think they are experiencing
the very best of times and will believe
they are enjoying life, clothed in fine
raiment and faring sumptuously every
day. All that is necessary is just to hyp
notize them till they believe it. As soon
as the wheat crop is sold everything will
drop again as flat as a pancake.
Money is not being invested in business
enterprises, but in stocks and bonds,
money futures. Mouey is the only thing
that pays to hold. It is rising in value
while property falls. This newspaper
boom must fall fiat as soon as the wheat
money is spent. Nothing will bring per
manent and universal prosperity but an
increase of money in circulation. Prices
must cease to fall before business prosper
ity is established. Every man’s common
sense ought to convince him of this fact.
A Startling Story.—Where the Bank
ruptcy Conies In.
A sensational article was printed by
one of our prominent journals Saturday
morning last, saying that “Mexicogroans
under its load of gold obligations.”
“That the fall in silver causes the out
look to mean Mexican repudiation, public
and private,” etc.
So far as the word “public” is used in
this inference, it, in meaning the Mexican
Government, is a grave error that requires
an apology.
Mexico’s gold debt today is less than
one Hundred millions, 011 which less than
six millions is paid annually in gold,
about three-fourths to Europe, the other
fourth to home owners.
Now, when the principal of the bonded
debt of New York City alone is remem
bered to exceed all Mexico’s indebtedness,
it maybe realized that so small a sum,
compararively speaking, cuts but a small
figure in the direction of any repudiation,
even should silver go much lower than it
now is.
Silver at $2 for $1 of gold, or at a pre
mium in Mexico of 100 per cent, means
that $6,000,000 annual interest in gold
amounts to $12,000,000 silver, to be paid
to get the gold.
Silver Mexican dollars, if quoted at 40
cents in Europe, means a premium in
Mexico of 150, or that it costs $2 50 in
silver for each gold dollar. This ineaeases
the above annual payment to sl2 500,000
1 in silver to get the $6,000,000 gold.
Should the Mexican dollar fall to 25
cents gold, that means a premium in
Mexico of 300 per ceut, or that it would
■ cost Mexico $4 in silver to obtain $r in
gold.
Thus a 300 per cent premium would
mean four times the $6,000,000 annual
gold payment in silver Mexican dollars to
get such gold with, a matter of $24,000,000
' Should the Mexican dollar fall to ten
cents gold, that means Mexico would
■ have to pay ten times $6,000,000, or $60,-
■ 000,000 a year in silver to get the neces
i sary gold.
i This is an illustration of the effects of a
■ government, or a railway, or a corpora
-1 tion, guaranteeing to pay gold when the
i gold is not under its control, and may be
made by the gold’s owners to cost
■ anything.
i A firm guaranteeing to thus pay what
it has no idea the future value of the
■ thing guaranteed will be, is conducting
1 his business on unsound principles.
Regarding the effect of a decline in
: silver upon Mexican railway securities
■ now payable in gold, the above relations
of gold to silver set forth show a serious
1 state of affairs.
i The three leading railway systems of
Mexico now owe about $145,000,000, on
: which, at an average of 5 per cent an
annual payment of $7,250,000 gold is
. called for. If the quotation of the Mex
ican dollar is 45 cents gold, it means 222
times that sum in silver to get it.
2.22 times $7,250,000 equals $16,095,000
annually to be paid in Mexican silver
dollars. Should the silver dollar fall to
30 cents gold, that means 3.33 H times
$7,250,000, or $24,166,666 in silver an
nually.
Such an obligation would probably
bankrupt these railways; they would have
no choice but repudiation.
Because such an obligation might re
quire an increase of freight, &c., charges
that would practically stop traffic. All of
which European and American holders of
these Mexican railway or other Mexican,
Argentine, &c., &c., corporation secu
rities must consider as they watch the
quotations .for silver daily made in
Loudon.
Now, on the other hand, this increased
cost to get gold on the part of Mexicans
forms a wall of protection to them on all
their industries to precisely the same ratio
of percentage above set forth.
Mexico now has 4,000 different manu
facturing industries. Every day the
number of plants in some one of these
different industries is increasing.
Mexico is now turning out of its man
factories fine grades of carpets and the
finest grades of woolens in all lines.
Without taking into consideration dif-
I ferences in cost of labor and incidentals,
, we here suppose a roll of carpet costs in
New York SSO, on which our New York
j manufacturer makes 10 per cent profit.
This same roll of carpet is, say, 40 per
ceut, or reduces what the exporting Mex
j iean gets to S3O for the roll.
Say silver drops to 40 cents gold for a
Mexican dollar.
I That means the Mexican exporter will
get two and a-half times his $30 —less
freight, &c.— in New York for his carpet,
or $75 in Mexican dollars, which bear the
same relations to Mexican products today
as they did twenty years ago.
The question here is, How long can our
New York manufacturer of this carpet
compete against such odds?
The same illustration applies to fine
woolens and 4,000 other lines of goods.
Which all necessitates that the further
decline in silver eventually means bank
ruptcy to all United States manufacturers
and farmers of goods that can be produced
by 'silver basis countries, including
Mexico.
Bankruptcies of our manufacturers, also
farmers, means bankruptcy to our rail
ways as well as to Wall street. —By J. M.
Batchelor, in Daily Financial News.
