tO COT DOWN WAGES.
By Paying Labor In Cheap
Dollars.
THE ELLVEEITES' SCHEME.
Why Ex-Covernor Boles Wants
Fre Silver-Rich Landlords
Could Then Make
. Big Profits.
Ef OcTernor Horace Boi of Iowa in
franker than bis fellow Eilverite, who
pretend that their 60 cent dollar scheme
would benefit the working classes. In a
recent lntexriew he says :
"I hare myself in thii state two
farms, paid for largely with money I
have earned as a lawyer. One is a farm
of S.600 acres of land, and I he other
contains 1,0(")6 sefei Cit"n the present
price of labor and the prew-nl price mid
f ' products, no man in the world
could takb either bt these farms, even if
I Hhonld present him with the (rround,
and make a dollar out of it. I mean, of
course., that ho could not equip thefa:n
and pay interest on the money invested
iu Ihe equipment tv.il wujr f for lalnir
out of tlie inconin hi' would Ri-t by nt ll
ing the products. A farmer who works
himself and is assisted by the liibor if
('ins and daughters could uiakp a Kmiill
farm pay. Hut no farm it profitable
when conducted ou (lip basin of a nimin-
facturiDg busiuegn. Cheap and abundant
money in the only rum dy for this intol
erable Htate of thingR."
This is a candid ud-.usion tliat be
thinks (hat wages are now toohifrh. ami
that in some way free silver will gire
the fiirmers cheaper labfir. The mere
fact of an increaRe in the price of farm
products would not make farming profit
able, if, as is claimed by moHt of the lfi
to 1 leaders, wages would be doubled
along with doubled prices of everything
Ihe farmer buys. Mr. Boies clearly ex
pects that the result of "cheap and
abundant money" will lie the practical
reduction of the price paid for farm la
bor. This would no doubt I a very
good thing for a rich man with 8,600
screa of land. But what dix-s the poor
laborer think of tho scheme? Are the
American people ready to vote for a
debased currency which will reduce the
wages of the workers?
Kelt in importance to tho confession
that free silver would cut down wages
Is the admission that "p farmer who
works himself cau make a small farm
pay." What kind of farmers does Mr. .
Boies eipect to see prosper? Men who
have bought up big tracts of land which
they hold out of use iu the eipeciatiou
of selling it nt a high price, and iu the I
meantime are working it with hired la- '
Uor.' Inat is not the sinrt or tanners
which Americans wish to see thrive.
The man who owns and works his own
land is the ideal farmer of this country.
The big estate with its "gangs" of hired
men may do while new territories are
being opened np, but the welfare of the
republic depends on tho nvsi who culti
vate the soil owning the land tiny till.
If ei-Govemor Boies thinks him -elf en
titled to an ipcome from his land with
out working it himself, he is very much
mistakeu. No fanner should prosper who
limply "owns land" and expects to
make a profit out of other men's labor.
That under free silver a few men could
tise cheap money to speculate in land
and get rich out of the toil of the under
paid laborers is the very best of reasons
why the masses should vote against it.
Kx-Ooveruor Boies admits that the
farmer who works can make his fann
pay. Bot in anotjirr part of the same
interview he says that farms bought 20
or 26 years ago cannot be made to pay
interest on their cot. This is a strong
argument against cheap money, for it
was the greenback inflation of the war
period winch put ihe prices of land so
high that the men who bought farms
have been struggling ever sin"e to pay
for them. The heavy mortgages, with
high interest rates, which are crushing
so many farmers, have their Origin in
the high speculative price of land caused I
by the cheap money craze of the last
generation. Fret! coinage would repeat
the evils brought about by the nveris
iues of greenbacks, and while not help
ing the present owners of farms would
benefit speculators and make it harder
for the millions of landless nnd home
less men to get a piece of laud on which
to make a living.
Mr. Boies is evidently a sincere man
and is advocating free silver with the
idea that it will help men, like himself,
who own big tracts of laud. But as the
only results of that policy would bo the
repudiation of debts, the reduction of
wages and the enrichment of the men
who speculate in land but do not work
themselves, he is not a safe guide for
tiouest citizens.

The causes of the free silver craze are
(bought by the Baltimore Sun to be

states of tho Uniou 20 years ago the
feeling of unrest and desire for a
changs, no matter what, produced by
hard times, bad business aud lack of
employment the desire, conacious or
unconscious, of debtors to scale their
debts by paying them in depreciated
currency the vague idea that 'more

Q. Is it true that the price of wheat
and many other farm products has fallen
heavily? A. It is.
Q. How are each declines, in wheat,
for instance, to be explained A. By
the enormously rapid increase In grain
growing area throughout the world.
Q. Has this increase been especially
rapid since 1 873? A. The increase in
grain growing area in this period, espe
cially in North America, South America
and Asia, has never been approached in
any equal period in the history of the
world.
Q. How do we judge of actual com
petition iu the sale of wheat? A. By
the supplies thrown anuually ou the
World's great distributing markets,
(j. What market in particular? A.
England, where most of the buying
nations go to purcnase tneir grain.
Q What are the figures? A. As re
cently as 18S0 Great Britain imported,
for consumption and re-eiport, 66,61
B24 hundredweight of wheaf -a Targe
increase over the preceding annual aver
age. In 1A0S it imported 61,74U,U55
hundredweight
Q. What has made possible this re
markable increase in wheat production?
A. I he exceedingly rapid development
of transportation facilities in newly cul
tivated grain countries; among them
India, Russia and the Argentine Re
public. Q. lias there been un increase in the
United States itself? A. Au enormous
increase.
How large? A. In 1875 thco
were 2ft, 3K 1.51 2 acres of wheut culti
vated in this country; iu there
were 89,91(5,887, an increase of 60 per
rent. The yield in 1876 was 2K2, 1 HO, -000
bushels, a heavy increase over pre
ceding years. In Ihttl the yield was
611,780.000. Kven last year, with a
greatly reduced acreage and a partial
crop failure, the yield was 4(17,100,000
bushels.
Q. Has the yield of other crops in
creased rt rrcH-ondingly ? A. It has.
Q. (iive instances. A. The cultivated
area of corn in the United Hutcs in
1871 was 84,lHl,137 acres; in 1891 it
was 7i, 204, 615; increase, 124 percent.
The yield of corn last year was more
than double that of any year prim- to
1875. Both the acreage and the average
annual yield of oats have doubled Mnce
1871. Our cotton crop in lb94 wi' 60
per cent greater than in any year :ior
to 1887.
(j. Was a decline in grain and cotton
prices under such conditions inevitable?
A. As inevitable as a decline in the
price of clothing or furniture or hooks
or steel rails orpins when compel:! ion
iu their manufacture has extended . :;or
mously. Would free coinage help the pro
ducers of grain to a large profit ui.der
such conditions? A. Not in the lei.yf.
(J. Why not? A. Bcanse if the ;.. in
itial price of grain were to rise tlin ugh
inflation of the currency the price of
l everything else would rise ulso, and the
farmer would be relatively no better otf
than he was liefore. New Vork Kven

Sch.sil, " "that , congrr ss should pass a
law tomorrow authorizing the purchase
of 100,000 cavalry horses of certain
si.rs and qualities. Horses would ad

This .s one of "Coin" Harvey's argu
ments to show how free coinage would
raise tho price of silver. It riot-snot tit
the case, because under free coinage f !;e

The Race Question In Month Africa.
Hitherto the most interesting features
In the history of South Africa have
been the relations to one another of
the races that originally Inhabited or
have recently occupied It, and the most
riilticult. problems which Its future pre
sents nrlse from the relations of these
races. Three races are native, four are
Kuropeon. The cases of contact or con
flict between European and aboriginal
races, which have been numerous dur
ing the last four centuries, Include
those where the native race, though
perhaps numerous. Is comparatively
weak, and unable to assimilate Euro
pean civilization, or to thrive under
European rule (a rule which has often
been harsh), or even to survive iu the
presence of a European population oc
cupying Its country; those where Euro
peans have conquered a country al
ready filled by a more or less civilized
population, which is so numerous nnd
so prolific tis to iiih I lit ii I n Itself in their
presence; and those lu which the native
race Is numerous and strong enough to
maintain itself In the face of Euro
peans, while, on the other hand, there
Is plenty of room left for n large Euro
peon population to press In. This Is
what has happened In South Africa;
the Dutch nnd English settlers do not
mix their blood with that of the na
tives. So fur as can be predicted, both
