Tiiia force w hich waa the cause asd the oaljr cause that orre4 down the export price of the barrl of four as shown ia the table from to fl.ld I will explain un der two. beads. While it. was only oae force, the re sult was produced through two chan cel. One of the chancels was the coaditloa cf tie people of Brazil and their power to purchase the Cour in I this country. The facts are as fol- j low : Draall ws originally a part of I paia and that the populatioa is of ! Ppjtrlfh descent. The prevaillrg wates are and taTe been for years ; fery low. The power to purchase our i Cour was stretched to about its farth- i est limit Ja 1ST2, wbea the Brazilian ! paid f 5r (rolnaa rvo. 4) ia his money for our Coa at our ports, making the at era ire cost at retail of a barrel of ' fVour in Br&tll about twelve dollars. iy examicins column No. 4 you will tn that the arerage price paid by the BraxJLsn for i years, from 1STS to 1101, was tT.C-J barrel. This aver age for the Ti years of per bar rel at our porta proves conclusively that the lirazilUa cannot and will cot pay any more than this price as an av erage for any length of time. The av erage mail price cf the Cour In Krazil that cxit JT.W per barrel ia this coun try aould be more than fll per barrel in thai country. In our country the are-are waxe-e-arnT earns oa an av erage of about Jlv) per day and buys his Sour for less than $4 per barrel, while the average waRe-earner in Bra zil earns less than cents per day cd has to pay about tlZ per barrel for his four. The reader will see at one glance that as a physical proposi tion, the purchases c power of the Era zilUs's earnings will not admit of any advance ia the price cf Cour in his country. Such were the conditions la 1VT3 and such are the conditions today. I re peat acaln that the Brazilian cannot and will not pay any more than til to U2 per barrel for his Cour at re tail. Now for che real and tangible force that caused the decline in the export price of the barrel of 2our to Brazil from 3.4 la 1S75 to $4.10 ia 1101. What was It that the Brazilian pur chased the barrel of Cour with In this COjttnr la 2ST3? It was with the com mercial Taiue of the ounce cf silver and that the ccnuaerclal ralu was about 11.T per ounce la 1ST2. During 1551 the Brazilian also, paid for his barrel cf Cour la this country with the commercial Tzlae cf the ounce cf sil ver wekh had declined ia Its commer cial -value as selling price from L23 3L This aho-Tt that the decline ia the purthasicg power of the ounce of silver had been reduced about I per cet- Now one of two things tad to fcappea If the American farm.ra sold ioir to the Brazilian during 1&01. was, either the American farmer- - would hae to tak abewt ZZ per cent Jess for hit ffocr thsa thy cil during 1S73 which would m.ean th'.t our farmers wtKiU hare to take 45 per cent of $3.4 whk'h woald be per barrel "for his Socr. If the Brazilian paid enough' of his money so the American farmers maid ret the J3.4C per barrel for the Cour durins 1&01 the Brazilian would ha ve to pay 121 of his money for a .bar rel f Cour at 'oar ports. I hare shown' conclusively, that the Brazilian could not asS he would tot paytsuch more for his four during ?01 tha:rb did during- 1IT3. " The table shovt';snd the fact show that ..my staifa,iti. and propositions are true. Tte A . lata would net pay much, if ar.y m for tcefr Cour In l&l than ia 1 had to reduce the export prfc f ? Z-o-ir from J 5 to $1.10 h.?. i & it. prk-m of $4.29 the nraziiiaa pay about $i la his money f ia this eointry and af,r to his roaatry ould t- per barrel as &a. ave kl csrz&ttj. This proves beyond all question that the force, and the only force, that pressed down the export price of tho barrel of Cour from $9.46 to $4,10 was the force created by the decline in the commercial price of the ounce of sil ver from $1.29 in 1873 to about 53 cents in 130L As a further proof that It was the decline In the selling price of the ounce of silver that caused the decline In the export price of the Cour we find that while the ounce of silver fell in its selling price from IL29 to about S8 cents, which was. a decline cf about 55 per cent, the de cline In the price of the barrel of flour from $9.46 to $4.10 was about 56 per cent. The facts set forth in this short statement proves almost in a tangible way that it was the fall of 55 per cent ia the commercial value, or selling price of the ounce of silver, that caused the fall In the selling price of the bar rel of flour 56 per cent. There la only one way to raise the export price very much of the barrel of flour or the bushel of wheat, and that Is to raise the commercial price of the ounce of silver and to place the American farmers on the same plain In the markets of the world as the farmers from many other countries. The - commercial price of the ounce of silver must be placed at $1.29. Of course wide-spread crop failures would raise the price of wheat and flour. But outside of starving fam ines there Is only one force and that is the force that would be created by advancing the commercial price of the ounce of silver from about 58 cents per ounce to $1.29 per ounce. If that were done and conditions of crops as to quantity were normal in the world, wheat would advance In its export price to about $1.30 per bushel and the barrel of flour would advance in its selling price to about $8 per barrel. This is no fancy sketch. The ad vancing of the commercial price of the ounce of silver from about 58 cents to $1.23 would certainly pro duce effects about as stated above. With the conditions of the crops as at present in the world, being much be low the normal as to quantity, the ex port price of wheat would be about $1.G0 per bushel, while the barrel of flour would be exporting for about $9. The reader can see that this great ad vance In the price of the barrel of flour to the American farmer did not increase the cost any to the Brazilian and what Is true of the Brazilian is also true of all the countries In South America. Mexico, Cuba, China, Japan, nearly all the islands cf the sea and In fact more than three-fourths of the people of the world would buy as much of our Cour a3 they wanted at the same price as they do now while the price would be more than double to the American farmer. I proved conclusively in my last week's article that the quantity of money had practically nothing to do with the decline 'In the export price of the barrel of flour from $9.46 in 1873 to $4.10 in 1901. It Is claimed by some If we could discover a large quan tity of gold and could place Frazil and other countries on. a gold standard that would settle the money question. It would settle the money question if enough gold could be furnished the Brazilians, the Chinamen, the Japs, the Cubans, the Mexicans, the people cf India and the people of many other countries so that they could pay the American farmer at our exporting ports from $3 to $9 In gold for a barrel of Cour just as easily as they can pay now In the money they have. No hu man being thinks for a minute that the above proposition could be ever accom plished. There Is only one 'possible way and that is to place the commer cial price of the ounce of silver to $1.29, then all of the people above mentioned could pay the $8 or $9 in silver which would be the same as paying that much In gold and this could be done as easy as they now pay about thaf much in the money they have. I stated in my article of last weeV that there were three things that the American farmers want to know. First, just what caused the decline in the export price of the barrel of flour from $9.46 in 1873 to $4.10 In 1901. Second, just how to prevent a fur ther decline. Third, how to restore prices. I presume that no person who has read the article I wrote in your last week's paper as well as this one, will question that I have shown just what caused the decline In the export price of the barrel of flour from $9.46 to $4.10. It will be an easy and a'short matter to explain the other two points which the farmers want to know which are "how to prevent a further decline and how to restore prices." As it was the decline In the commercial price of the ounce of silver from $1.29 in 1S73 to about 58 cents in 1901 that caused the fall In the export price of the barrel of flour from $9.46 to $4.10 In order to prevent a further decline In the export price of the barrel of Cour as well as nearly everything else that the American peo ple export, the decline in the commer cial or selling price of the ounce of silver must be stopped. This would certainly stop the further general de cline In the export prices. In answer to my third proposition, how to restore prices, there" is or can be practically only one way and that is to restore the commercial or sell ing price of the ounce of silver to $1.29.

The Deonle of Brazil and the people of all the other countries I have mentioned would amount to in round numbers ' about three-fourths of all the people in the world. Not" only the people of Brazil, buti all the. people in the other coun tries that have ' been ' named several times in .this article who buy their flour of the American farmers, buy, it not, with their money as our money, but they buy It with the commercial value or selling price of the material that is in their international money. The reader should' especially note this one point. The flour that they bought of the farmers of our country during 1873 as well as that which they bought during 1901, was bought with the com mercial value of the material in their money. (In speaking pf the year 1901 I refer to the fiscal year ending on June 30, 190L.) The selling price in the markets of the world . of the ma terial in their money during 1873 was a little more than its coinage or face value or, in other words, a dollar of their money that had a coinage value of 100 cents would sell in the markets of the world as a commodity for more than 100 cents, while during 1901 that same dollar being the international money of about three-fourths of the people of the world, was sold as a commodity in the markets of the world at an average price of about 45 cents. I have shown in several dif ferent ways that the condition of the Brazilian was such that he could not pay any more than he did in 1873 for his flour. That being the case, he had to make the 45 cents buy just as much flour in 1901 as the 100 cents did in 1873. The American farmer had to and did sell as much flour and of all other farm products to the Brazilian and to those of three-fourths of the world's people that wanted to buy our flour for the 45 cents in 1901 as they did for 100 cents in 1873. There has been millions of columns and pages written since 1873 (most of which has been political rot) on and about the facts, results and causes contained in the last few lines. I have made it as clear as the noon-day sun, in a cloud less sky that the force that caused the decline in the export price of the bar rel of flour from $9.46 to $4.10 was created by the decline in the commer cial value or selling price of the ma terial in the dollar used by three fourths of the people of the world from 100 cents in 1873 to 45 cents in 1901. There is only one course to pursue, and that is to raise the selling price of the material in the dollar that three-fourths of t?e people of the world are using from 45 cents, where it is at present, to 100 cents, where it was in 1873. The American people have it In their power and can , very easily restore the purchasing power of this dollar that I ha described so that the 1,200,000,000 of people (this amount being about three-fourths of the people of the world) can pur chase, our products and pay us in 100 cent dollars just as easily every way as they are now paying us in 45-cent dol lars. There is only just one way to accomplish what I have set forth in the first sentence above, and that is to place the selling price of the ounce of silver at $1.29. No political party in this country can -live for any length of time that does not do everything it can to restore the dollar mentioned to its original purchasing C. G. BULLOCK. above power.

It will be remembered that the notorious Milt Metzgar is steward at that institu tion. It does not matter about the superintendent's name, because he is only a figure head anyway. It seems that the new republican ad ministration filled the office of matron with a specimen of feminity best de scribed by the threadbare terms, "fair fat, and forty." It does not matter much about the fair and forty but there is not a particle of doubt about the fat. One day the cook at this institution had occasion-to carry a tray laden with de licious viands into the Superintendent's private dining room for it must be con fessed that the Superintendent feels rather above eating at the same table with his employees. The matron, fat and fair, was promenading the corridor at the time the cook passed through on the way to the dining room. Suddenly the cook was astounded to find the tray lifted high above his head and its con tents spilled all over the waxed corridor floor. He was astonished, dumbfounded. Just to show that even if she is short and fat the matron was responsible for the wreck she had performed a very commendable feat of high kicking. The Superintendent sat. growling in his private dining room because of the delay in bringing him his breakfast. He made some investigation and learned about the gymnastic performances of his oo-laborer. He didn't care about the high kicking, but he did hate to lose that breakfast. So he "promptly, dis charged the matron. ' i - . But the matron knew a. thtng or two herself about matters political and sha wended "her way to Lincoln and made such vehement protests to Governor Savage that the upshot of the whole af fair was that the Governor returned that evening with her to Beatrice, and,-. after reading the Superintendent the riot act, reinstated the matron and left shortly for Lincoln, supposing everything to be lovel at Beatrice. . .,, - It isn't however. Every day or two something new arises in the way of trouble. The only way Governor Savage can get that institution on its feet again is to remove every officer and employee there and replace them with, others. Beatrice, Neb. 1 THIFI AND NERVOUS HOW AST.

'the State Reports from out in the state give an interesting bit of news regarding the straws at which . the republican party is clutching In a mad endeavor to elect its state ticket. Every smooth, suave, melancholically elo quent grafter in the party has been at work for some time in engaging pop ulists and democrats in quiet conver sation regarding the state campaign. "You knovf, Jones," one. of these grafters will say to his fusion hearer, "that this is an off-year in politics. It really cuts but little figure either to your side or ours which side elects the supreme judge. Your fellows have a majority of the court now, and if Sedgwick is elected it won't change that majority for you'll still have Sullivan and Holcomb. And as for the regents, that doesn't matter' much, because the university ain't in politics anyhow. But you know, Jones, that the assassination of our beloved pres ident has cast a gloom over the whole country (here a few well directed snif fles adds to the dramatic effect) and we republicans have thought that Ne braska ought to go republican this fall out of respect for our martyred presi dent. You're a broad-minded man, Jones, and not a blind partisan, and you're no anarchist, either; Why can't you vote for our state ticket this time just to show your loyalty to the gov ernment? It's about time, Jones, that we Americans vote together make it unanimous, by gad, sir just to show these anarchists that we stand by the president." And Jones ponders over the matter a good deal. He can't see exactly why he should become a republican, even for one election, because a crazy an archist murdered our president. Neith er he nor any of his party associates were in any way responsible for the murder. And he doesnt quite underT stand why h& should now indorse the policy of McKinley on the money ques tion, on the Philippine question, on the constitution and the flag question, on a dozen others, simply because Mc Kinley Is not alive." But Jones Is a loyal American citi zen. He has a profound regard for American institutions and traditions. He is well aware that the shots fired by the assassin were fired at McKin ley, the president, and not at McKin ley, the man. He knows that McKin ley's martyrdom was the result of an attack- on our government, by a man who believes In no government, and who believes that the killing of offi cials' is a noble act. Now, Jones ab hors anarchy and anarchists, and he listens to the specious arguments of the republican grafter with consider able attention. He will study the mat ter further and decide on election day. As a specimen of republican dema gogy this is quite in keeping with that party's tactics. Even the sacred pre cincts of the grave must be ruthlessly invaded simply to gain a point in state politics. $ Populists and demo crats believe in certain principles and policies; : republicans believe in cer tain principles ana policies; ana ibwb beliefs clash at many points. -It is nat ural that they should do so; And it is a healtbign o see these contending forces so nearly equal m strengtn. fc.v ery trne believer In democratic gov ernment is willing to abide by the de cisiomof the majority, yet It does not follow that he shall become a convert to the najorityJopinion. ; The majority; elected a congress which enacted, and an executive who approved, a latf- conferring greater powers and privileges on national banks.
