PROSPERITY FOR FARMERS.
In the campaign of 1896 the
farmers were given especial attention
by the managers of the silver party.
All who tilled the soil were assured
that low prices were the direct result
of the treatment of silver and that
values must inevitably continue to
droop, until the government con
sented to coin at the old ratio all
the silver that could be carried to
the mints. This view of the case
was backed up by an avalanche of
silver literature, to say nothing of an
earthquake of silver gabble. Farm
ers know now that the prices of their
products advance without the slight
est regaid to silver, and that the
Popocrat purpose in 1896 was to
overwhelm them with financial fal
lacies and deception. In that year
the value of domestic animals
was certainly low and demagogues
charged the fact upon their great
catchall, the alleged crime against
silver.. A chance is now presented
to consider the subject freed from
political absurdities.
The annual report of the depart
ment of agriculture states that the
value of horses in the United States
has increased $32,000,000 within a
year, an average increase of more
than 10 per cent. This has taken
place in spite of the talk of a coming
horseless era. Cattle, other than
milk cows, increased 10 per cent in
value. Milk cows were worth $39,.
500,000 more at the end of the year
than at the beginning. Sheep, which
could hardly be given away under
the last Democratic tariff, increased
in value $1 4,000,000, and in number
1,460,000. Mules also increased in
Talue. The total increase in a year
in the value of domestic animals is
placed at $108,355,482, a gain of
5.74 per cent. The party that prom
ised prosperity, and was taken at its
word, has abundantly fulfilled the
pledge, but the measure of its good
deeds and beneficial influences is still
piling up.
SAME OLD STORY.
Oregon farmers are gi ven to gamb
ling with their wheat to such an
extent that unless they have more
luck than judgment they will lose
the surplus they made in 1897, says
the Telegram. '
Wheat has been quietly slumping
for some time, yet there is not an
Oregon farmer who could not have
sold all his holdings for fifty cents.
But all held for a recuperated
market, which now is not in sight.
By their cupidity. the farmers of this
state have lost a colossal sum of
money in the aggregate.
But it is merely a -repetition of
history. Twenty years ago, during
the great mining stock boom "in
Sin Francisco, the speculator fared
the same .as the Oregon farmer of
today. It he could reap a profit of
$1000 on a $100 investment he
usually held out for another thousand
which rarely ever materialized. The
result was when the backbone was
broken of the boom of several yearsj
duration, all the small fry speculators
were bankrupt. A similar fate may
overtake the Oregon farmers, unless
they exercise better business judg
ment, v
Elegant new Pullman palace eleepirs
