FREE SILVER AGITATION IS SERIOUS
LY CROWDING THEM.
Hard to Secure Extensions Moncy-Lend-
era Chary About Kenewluff Mortgages
Former Dictator of Terms' Becomes
the Suppliant.
"We will bring back the good times
which you had before the crime of ' 73"
is a favorite argument of the free sil
ver demagogue , especially when ad
dressing an audience of farmers. All
the ills and woes that mankind has
fallen heir to since the memorable day
when congress is said to have rele
gated silver to its natural position as
subsidiary coin are recounted and
mutiplied with harrowing details for
the purpose of impressing upon the
minds of the rural voter that the panacea
for all ills is the free coinage of silver
at 16 to 1. So persistently has this
been dinned into the ears of the farm
er , months and months before this
campaign opened , that it has in many
places come to be considered as an in
controvertible fact , just as the theories
that the earth was flat or that the sun
moved were for centuries regarded as
beyond question.
Within the last few weeks , however ,
there is more than an indication that
farmers are beginning to have their
misgivings on the free silver millen
nium , either present or future. Things
are not ripening as they had been led
to believe would be the case. The
only things that mature are mort
gages , and , while in past years there
has been little or no difficulty in re
newing these at the borrowers' own
terms , this year things are just a little
different. The consequence is that
farmers are dcing a little more than
their usual amount of independent
thinking and are not slow to discover
that the glittering promises made by
the silver agitators are only silver
plated at best , and that if things con
tinue to rub the wrong way a little
while longer.as they have acquired the
knack of doing recently , even the sil
ver-plating will wear on ! and leave but
common pewter. The silver agitator
has invited farmers to look back over
the past in order to color the picture
which he holds out for the future.
And farmers , especially the farmers of
central Illinois , have * begun to look
back , and this is the picture they see.
Glance at the Past.
Away back in 1866 , when the "crime
of ' 73" was still unhatched , the great
corn belt of central Illinois was settled
L.y the sturdy yeoman who , following
Horace Greeley's advice after the close
of the war , had "gone west. " The Il
linois Central Railroad company , the
greatest of all pioneers in this state ,
had for sale sections of land from one
end of the state to the other which
were then being freely sold at $6 to $8
an acre. Men who knew next to noth
ing about farming beyond realizing
that it meant hard work settled upon
this soil which by dint of assiduous
labor they presently converted into
rich farm lands. While these farmer's - ,
were toiling and sweating to make the
best of the opportunities offered them ,
the dark "crime of ' 73" was perpe
trated. The panic of ' 73 which no
body has yet accused of relationship
to the "crime" of that year , like
wise intervened to offset the prosperi
ty , which was settling in all over he
country. Disasters enough to
momentarily shock the • 'very
foundations of natior commerce
fell thick and fast. Yet despite oil
this havoc and ruin , ne unskillful la
borers who had become farming
"business-men , " as Bryan calls them ,
found themselves in 1876 , three years
after the panic and "crime , " in a posi
tion to sell their holdings of Illinois
lands for an average of $25 an acre ,
or more than three times as much as
the land had cost in the "good old
days" before the "crime of 73" was
perpetrated.
The effect of this era of prosperity
soon became manifest. Where former
ly miles and miles of prairie farms
had been innocent of the vestige of
anything like a municipality , villages
and towns sprang into existence. Men
who had gone into the farming busi
ness as a venture and who had for
saken the beaten paths of ordinary
commerce "to go west and grow up with
the country" found themselves pos
sessed of a snug little capital upon
which to embark in more congenial
business than that of agriculture. The
"business-men" of the villages were
the men who had sold their farms ,
still leaving a goodly portion of their
capital invested in the shape of mort
gages on their lands. True , there was
not quite so much in it for the lender
on farm mortgages as there had been
in the good old days when 8 per cent
to 10 per cent interest and 5 per cent ,
commission was the regular rate
for farm loans. But still there was
enough to warrant the retired farmers
loaning their savings or acting as
brokers for other small capitalists
seeking giltedge security for invest
ment.
Prosperity Follows the "Crime. "
For nearly twenty years under the
changed condition of affairs consequent
quent on the "crime of ' 73" farmers
and their creditors managed to strug
gle along somehow without any very
keen agitation for free coinage of sil
ver at 16 to 1 worying them. The en
tire country blossomed and prospered ,
farmers grew rich , many of them re
tired to join the ranks of small capi
talists , while those who stuck to the
plow were so content with what na
ture and their own industry gave them
that no sooner was a piece of land
spoken of as being for sale than there
were a dozen farmers whose lands ad
joined , bidding for the farm that was
on - the market. As machinery im
proved the task of cultivation became
easier and the crops grew more and
more plentiful. To clear off a farm
mortgage from the proceeds of thr
farm during the existence of the mort-
*
gage became the rule rather than the
exception. New obligations were un
dertaken almost exclusively for the
purchase of additional lands , and the
proceeds of the mortgage in actual
cash going to swell the savings of the
quickly increasing ranks of village
bankers and tradesmen. Thousands of
successful firms , anxious to give their
children the benefits of city education ,
moved to Chicago and many of these
men are today counted among the
leading citizens of the western metro
polis. %
Meantime the price of the farm land
in central Illinois has risen from $25
an acre in 1876 to $75 , ? 80 and in some
cases $100 an acre in 1894 andl895. And
as every succeeding rise in value of
land meant a corresponding addition
to the number of small capitalists
eager to invest their savings in farm
mortgages competition for this class
of investment grew proportionately
keenr , leaving the borrowing farmer
the option of picking and choosing
who should be his creditor , and , in
short , practically dictating his own
terms for the loan. Not a word about
the free coinage of silver , except here
and there by a few agitators whose
croakings nobody heeded outside the
circle of village loafers at the corner
groceries. The "crime of ' 73" slept
peaceably in its grave , and even
"Coin's Financial School" had not
yet started on its mission of mischief
to convert contented farmers into dis
gruntled and contentious agitators.
An era of low prices for agricultural
products , not confined to this state
only , nor yet to this country , but uni
versal wherever men obeyed the
scriptural injunction to "till the
earth , " offered the first setback to
the uninterrupted quarter of a century
of progress and plenty. Farmers all
the world over , who never heard and
probably never will hear , of the
"crime of 73 , " suffered no loss than
the farmers of Illinois from the fact
that nature and science had outrun
the demand of the non-productive portion
tion of mankind. Commercial disas
ters , such as the business community
passed through twenty years previous
ly , made the summer of 1893 memora
ble as * an epoch of general ruin.
But. unlike the panic of twenty years
ago , when the agricultural community
quickly recovered after the spasm had
passed , the year 1893 brought in its
wake a blight more lasting and more
hurtful than anyone had dreamed pos
sible on the former occasion It
brought the free silver agitation.
Levelheaded farmers , unswerving in
their loyalty to sound political princi
ples , dazed by the unnatural and pro
longed depression , fell easy victims to
the sophistries of the free silver agita
tor. That something was wrong the
farmer realized. Speculation and
overproduction had injured his mart ,
and for the first time in the history
of American agriculture a lasting set
back threatened the farming communi
ty. And at this juncture the free sil
ver agitator caught the unsettled farm
er , instilled into his mind the per
nicious doctrine of repudiation , and
for a while at least threatened to con
vert the honest farmer into a dishonest
repudiator of his just debts.
Fortunately for the good name of the
farming community the free silver agi
tation has reached its zenith just at
the time when its effects begin to show
with telling force upon its misguided
followers. Already the difficulty of
renewing mortgages has shown farm
ers that the willo'thewisp which
they have been pursuing can but lead
them to a quagmire. Already the haste
to renew loans , which will not mature
for months , to come , betokens a
changed state of affairs between farm
er debtors and creditors more forcibly
than tons of campaign literature could
depict. Men who for decades have
dictated their own terms to lenders
suddenly discover themselves in the
position of suppliants anxious and
humble as the ne'er-do-weels who were
the scorn of the community for their
shiftlessness. The consciousness of a
wrong intended makes moral cowards
of men who have grown gray "look
ing the world in the face. " And the
beginning is but yet , if this insane
free silver agitation is not speedily
expurgated from the agricultural com
. Post.

Why Not Be Honest ?
Chicago Eight Hour Herald ( Labor ) :
The silverite wants a larger volume
of money , but professes to want sound
money everr * dollar at par. At the
same time he insists on the ratio of
16 to 1 , and opposes every proposition
to restrict the coinage to United
States silver. Then the question sug
gests itself , if the silverite is honest
in his demand for a larger circulating
medium , why does he insist on a ratio
of 16 to 1 and that the United States
mints be open to the coinage of the
world's silver. If our only desire is
to coin gold and silver on a common
level why do we not agree to put a
dollar's worth of metal into both coins
and restrict tae coinage to the product
of American mines until the supply
proves inadequate ? Simply because
when we talk free silver we are talk
ing for a depreciated currency and in
flated prices.
Cart , Then Horse.
No better customers for the farm
ers' products can be found than the
workingmen of our own country , but
they cannot be customers unless they
have employment and wages. Our
Democratic friends , as usual , get the
cart before the horse. They would
have the price of the farmers' prod
ucts increased without giving the
farmer customers. There are more
consumers than there are producers of
farm products , for while the farmers
themselves are producers , they are also
large consumers of their own prod
ucts while men of the shops , mills and
factories are only consumers of the
farmers' products. When labor is fully
employed at good wages there is no
trouble about good prices and large
production of the fruits of the hus
bandmen's toil. Mansfield ( O. ) News.
