His Repeated Assertions Concern
ing India Wheat Proven
False.
HON. JAMES BRYCE SPEAKS.
Denials by Members of the English
Parliament and a Prominent
London Merchant.
In the speech delivered by William
Jennings Bryan to the farmer* of New
fork assembled nt Chantumiun. the In
dia wheat fake wa* revamped by the
silver eundidate for president. The as
sertion made liy Mr. Bryun in Id*
Omaha debate last May that the Hug
lish apeeulator* e.mld drive great bar
gains in buying silver and trading it
for India wheat to the detriment of the
American farmer was reiterated and
embellished liy his fervid imuginition
ss as to create the impression that the
decline of sliver has made India the
moot formidable competitor of the
American wheat and cotton growers.
As ssnai, Mr. Bryan talked at random
-without taking the trouble to acquaint
Aimaelf with the actual facts.
Ths Bee now has tho facts and the
■gar is that effectually explode Mr.
Bqrsn’s India fuke. Over two months
mgs the editor of the Bee directed a per
—si inquiry on this subject to Hon.
O...I. ...A I...
■way year* been a member of I’arlln
■Wt and was • member of tbe
British board of trade. Responding to
J, ttli letter, under date of August 1, Mr.
Brvee says:
"You are quite right in thinking that
British merchant* guin nothing at ull
from the closing of the Indian mints.
The sharp competition, especially of the
Hindoo native merchants, cuts down
their profits and they lose heuvlly on
the exchange between India aud Eng
land in turning into English gold the
silver prices they receive for the goods
they export to India. The export of food
•tuff* from India has not, I gather, in
creased during the last few years aud
tha closing of the mints has not increased
It. Manchester and our manufacturers
generally complain that business with
India is unprofitable. Our cotton indus
try i« at present greatly depressed. So
> Britain at least gains nothing. You will,
therefore, be safe in denying that there
hna been, or is, any bonus or benefit to
British merchants or manufacturers.’’
This letter has been supplemented by
Brof. Bryce with an article prepared by
Ua brother, J. Annan Bryce, a very
■fWDipent i-ondon merchant, who waa
for many ycura a resident of India. Mr.
9. Annan Bryce {ays:
"For Mr. Hoscwaler’s guidance I have
jpade Up the Alinexed statement, which
TxhoWs in parallel colujnna the exports of
.wheat From the United slate*- Argen
* .Aine. Rus.ua and India up to J873 be-,
fori; the Fall in silfer and rtifiPP ex*
fEabge became pronounced. Ypu will
observe that while the exports from the
United States, Russia nun Argentine are
on the whole increasing, those from In
dia are fulling off, and that in the year
18BG tbe exports from India were tbe
woe aa in the year 1877. Of course it
goes not do to reason on Individual years,
Ǥv flts there may be special circumstances,
•ach as famines, to account for very
short yenrs. For instance, 1878 and
1879 were the vents of the great fam
ine in India ami 189- was the year of
Abe famine in Russia.
Dividing the Inst twenty years into pe
riods of five years each, you will see that
•hiring the last three five-year periods the
exports from India hare been falling off,
while those from the United States, Ar
gentine and Russia have been increas
ing, although nil the while rupee ex
change has been steadily falling with
•ilver. The figures prove conclusively
■a regards Indian wheat, which has
•Iwaya been the great bogy with the
(American silver man, that the Iudia ex
port has had nothing to do with the
fall of silver or rupee exchange. The
•liver man would lie more sensible if he
were to take alarm at the growing ex
ports from Argentine and from Russia.
But he could make nothing of the silver
argument here, for neither Russian nor
‘.Argentine exchange deisuids on silver.
Both countries, during the whole of the
-period embraced in my statement, had
•or the basis of their currency and of
•Mrae foreign exchange an inconvertible
wnper currency aud nut either silver or
gold.
“Altogether the facts illustrate the
•oaudness of Mr. Rosewater's conclusion
that the fall in prices of commodities is
doe to more economical production ami
transport. In India, in Russia and in
(Argentine n beat export* became possi

PUTTING RINGS ON THE RIGHT HOGS,
r * n
r m
I was passing through Iowa some month* ago, and I got an Idea from aome hogf. (Laughter.) An Idea Is the moil important thing that a person ran get Into his bead, and we gather our Idea* from ew
ery aource A* I was riding along I noticed these hoga rooting In a field, and they were tearing up the ground, and the first thought that came to me wa* that they were destroying a good deal of property.
And that carried me back to the time when as a boy I lived upon a farm, and I remembered that when we bad hog* we u*cd to put ring* In the uo*e* of the hogs,and then the thought came to me, -Why
did we do Itr Not to keep the hog* from getting fat. We were more Intereeted In their getting fat than they were. (Laughter.) The sooner they got fat the sooner we killed them; the longer they
were In getting fat the longer they lived. Hut why were the ring* put In theno«ea of those hog*7 Bo that, while they were getting fat, they would not destroy more properly than they were worth.
(Laughter and great applause.) And aa 1 thought of that this thought came to me, that one of the dutle* of the government, one of the Important dutlea of government, Is the putting of rings In the nosea

bushel, which was equal to the price of
one ounce of ailver. From 1876 to 1880,
while silver was going down, the aver
age price of wheat at Bombay rose to
$1.40 tier bushel. Between 1881 und
1885 the average price of wheat at Bom
bay was $1.10 per bushel, and from 1886
to 1890 $1.01 per bushel, although silver
had been tending upward. From 1891
to 1895 the average price of wheat at
Bombay was 95 cents per bushel. Had
wheat followed theprije of sjjver it should
have been only 68 cents per bushel.
Cotton exports from India to Europe
have been equally at variance with
the theories advanced by Mr. Bryan.
In 1874 India exported 1,236,882 bales
and in 1875 1,241,526 bales. During
the five year* following its cotton ex
port was below l,00u,000 bales. In
1879 It was only 641,458 bales. During
the five years ending with 1895 the cot
ton export from India has been steadily
ffihnsftiaU'JS.OK
857.771 bales: in 1894, 797,070 bales; in
1895, 625,000 bales. In gontrait \jitb
this the United States exports of cotton
have been steadily increasing. In 1890
they amounted to 5,020,913 bales; in
1891, 5,820,779 bales; in 1892, 5,891,411
bales; in 1893, 4,431,220 bales; in 1894,
5,397,509 bales; in 1895, 6.965,358 bales.
Thus it will be seen that the India
bugbear has no foundation, but has
been conjured up for political purposes
by Bryan, Harvey and all the ix>osties
of silver.—Omaha Bee.
THINGS TO REMEMBER.
KId« J oints About .'silver ami i-rotec
tion.
First—That there ia not a free coinage
country in the world today that ia uot
on a silver bnaia.
Second—That free coinage will not
raise the price of American wool one
cent while foreign wool ia coming in free
of duty and is crowding American wool
out of the home market.
Third—That there la not a gold stand
ard country in the world that does not
use silver nloug with gold and keep its
silver coins worth twice us much us their
bullion value.
Fourth—That the free coinage of silver
will not start h single factory in this
country, when under the Democratic tar
iff tin* products of foreign labor are
shipped into this country cheaper thuu
they can he made here.
Fifth—That there is not a silver stand
ard country iu the world that uses any
gold as money along with silver.
Sixth—That free silver coinage will
not create a demand for labor when
Democratic free trade makes the supply
many times greuter than the demand.
Seventh—That there is not u silver
standard country in the world today that
has mure thuu otic-third us much tuouey
In circulation per capita as the United
States has.
Eighth-That free silver is uot goiug
to increase the price of nor the demand
for farm products so long #s the Ameri
can workingman, who la the prluci|>a!
consumer, is kept In Idleness lor trans
ferring his work to the hands of foreign
workmeu through the medium of free
trade.

MMW'KlhLEY~S HOME
A Household Truly Homelike and
Entirely Free from All
Ostentatious.
NOTES OF A VISIT TO CANTON.
The House Where the McKinley*
Have Made Their Home for
Twenty-five Year*.
Sojourning a few day* recently near
Canton gave opportunity for a charm
ing visit to that new center of attrac
tion.
Canton is alive with enthusiasm, the
courthouse, business places and private
bouses are decorated with flags, por
traits of Maj. McKinley, national color*
and various national and patriotic de
vices.
It is easy to recognize the McKinley
residence by the lawn, which is worn
brown and bare by the delegations that
continue to come from ail parts to pay
their respects to the future occupant of
the white house.
Never before have women taken such
an active interest in the presidential
campaign, and never before since the
nomination of President Lincoln have
women's hearts been so stirred over
the condition of the country, and while
manv arn inftiPttuffltl litx'll I1UI> nf t hi*
main issues of the campaign, all arc
interested in the Republican nominee
for president, because of his standing
ns a man and a citizen, and his social
and family life.
The residence of Got. and Mrn. Mc
Kinley is houu-likc. and free from os
teutation. A porch extends along the
entire front of the house, some Hue old
trees cast a grateful shade upon the
lawn, and beds of flowers uttrnct the
sight. We step into the softly carpeted
hall, furnished with easy chairs nnd
colors restful to the eye; a moment
more, aud we are received by Mr. Me
Kinley.
The reception romn, on the right of
the hall as one enters, is used as si)
office, and here at all times of the day
Mr. McKinley receives news aud tele
grams that are communicated directly
to his residence, of such ms iters as per
tain to aud are of interest to the earn
'“to. he talks his secretary occasion
ally hands him a telegram which he
read* without interruption to the conver
sation.
Mr- McKinley will remain in ('anion
most of the time until after the elec
Uou In November. It has been his !»
flntlou to take n short trip to some point
on the sea coast, hut he has decided lo
remain In Canton. “I haw u» wish.”
he aatd. “to shut myself away from the
people.
Mprekttig of the activity of the women
iu the campaign, he said: “| am glad
the ladles have such couHden.* In me "*
I was glad to respond “We do have

tha lore hand, ragbag softly met tha I
beautiful brow, a tweet, almost girlish
face—not a line or wrinkle marring its
smoothness—the incarnation of womanly
sweetness.
One who la sensitive am) observant,
need never to have heard one word of Mr.
McKinley’s family life to understand the
relation Mr. and Mrs. McKinley occupy
toward one another, and while the pleus
ant morning conversation proceeds, we
seem to feel through the atmosphere of
the room every word of the spirit and ex
istence of the happy wedded life perpetu
ated, which Browning expressed and
painted in hia “By the Fireside.”
We are looking at and discussing pic
tures of Mr. and Mrs. McKinley, when
one of the family, taking up one of Mr.
McKinley, which from the view of the
fare shows the deep thought line extend
ing the length of the forehead, remarks:
"Mrs. McKinley does not like these—she
thinks that line looks like a scowl.” We
nil smile and quite agree with her, that
that picture does not “do him justice,”
and we think what picture could por
tray him ak he Is, the charming person
ality, the kindly, genial manner, the
clear, perfectly modulated voice, the
bright blue eye, and clear complexion,
ana the fine smooth skin that u wom
an might envy? While his pictures can
not portray this, they do show with fidel
ity some qualities of the man whose
splendid constitution has never been im
E aired by excesses, the erect form, the
rown hair, that shows but few traces
of silver; the broad, full forehead, deep
set eye. clearly cut features und square,
massive jaw, the features and bcarflig
one might look for in the hero of the
battle of Fisher's Hill and Cedar Creek,
where he was breveted major by Presi
dent Lincoln.
Mr. McKinley’s passionate love of
flowers is recognized by his friends.
“Are not those roses lovely?” says
Mrs. McKinley, calling our attention to
some vases of rare red roses, upon the
mantel and brackets; “but 1 love these1,”
glancing at a bouquet of sweet peas on
the pretty table beside her. “The roses
came in such a beautiful woodeu box.
The name of the giver is not here. Wll
llnin.” addressiiiL' Mr. McKinley, mid.
taking up a card and reading, “To Mr.
and Mr*. McKinley, front your devoted
friend, -” “The uiagrollaa were Kent
from the South." A* Mr. McKinley
risen, our eyes follow him, and we catch
a glimpse, through au open door, of n
dainty couch in white and gold, and
Mr*. McKinley says aoftly, “William,
there ia a baby asleep in there.”

FARMERS AND TARIFF
Home Demand Supplies the Chief
Market for Agricultural
Products.
WHfRE THEIR INTEREST LIES.
Effect of Curtailing the Purchasing
t Power of the Men Employed
in Factories.
We export about one-third of the
wheat grown in the United Htutcs either
in the form of flour or of wheat. We
export only about 0 tier cent, of our
corn crop. The exportation of oilier
grain is as a rule trifling in quantity, al
though the Tory low price of oats for the
past two year*, owing to heavy produc
tion and a fulling off in the home de
mand for consumption by street rail
way horaes and driving horses, has led
to a considerable foreign movement in
this grain. Of onr meats we probably
eXi>ort about 10 per cent., although exact
statistics are not availuble on this poiut.
These figures arc sufficient to make it
plain to the intelligent farmer 1 hut the
home market is his great market, ami
that any causes which reduce the home
dcruund for provisions directly Injure the
farming interest.
Besides the staple articles of grain and
meat, there lire u multitude of farm
products for which there is no market at
nil except the home market. This in
cludes the whole range of perishable
fruits and vegetables, and also includes
at/ n Altai i uii ut tuv »c>->
Other imiHirtmit itenui are poultry nud

of home market* for »uch article* a*

The farming industry Is unquestiona
bly in a depressed condition today, and
the cause Is not fur to seek. Look at
the hundreds of silent factories with
their smokeless chimneys, all over the
country, from Nebraska to Maine, and
form, if you can, ati estimate of tbe
immense multitude of people formerly
employed In these establishments, wbo
are now eking out u poor living as best
they can in other vocations, many of
them, no doubt, in farming and garden
ing, where they have become competitors
with the men who formerly supplied
them with food. if the free-trade move
ment led by Mr. Bryan goes on to its
natural conclusion, whole lines of In
dustry which have survived the Wilson
bill will he ruined and hundreds of thou
sands of employes will be thrown out
of work.
The conclusion ought to be plnln
to every thoughtful man engHged In ag
ricultural pursuits. Wo cannot afford to
reduce our wage rates to those of for
eign countries. We must make for our
selves all articles needed for our ordi
nary, every-day uses, importing only
such luxuries ns foreign countries have
special facilities for producing. Tariff
for revenue only means the ruin of tbe
fnriner, and tariff for protection means
a well-employed town and city popula
tion. und good home markets for every
thing the farmer has to sell.
CAMPAIGN NOTES.
"I would willingly defend free trad®
with my life,” said Mr. Bryan in his tirst
speech in Congress, and ns he is now
defending free silver with his tongue
only it is easy to see to which policy he
is most devoted.
Democratic orators and organs may
evade the tariff, but the workingmen of
the country cannot, for to them it pre
sents the unavoidable issue of work and
prosperity or Idleness and poverty.
While the I’opoerat demagogues nr®
shouting “Down with the rich,” the
Ucpublicnn party advances with the cry,
