the bill, but
Tbis year Jim bought n new bicycle
for $2;i. The price of n yearling
done the business. 1 guess you town
fellers ain't robbing the farmers
enough to hurt. Nearly everyone
up my way has money in the bank
now. Four years ago they mostly
had notes in the bank."
The above is A sample of the argu
ment ouc hears here this year. The
farmer does moat of the talkins. The
The Abilene, Kinsas, Reflector re-j carpenter does not stay around long,
lates the following conversation ns for the reason that work in his line
having occurred between a neighbor-1 s pressing, and there are two jobs
ing farmer and a carpenter. Bryanitc I for every one carpenter. The sidewalk

penter opens the conversation by
savin": I
'I can build and Oniah. up for ou
a six-room farm cottage for $1,000,
and the nails in the building will cost
$25 at preseut prices. Four yeais
ago they would htvc cost about 619.
If the price ot your farm stuff has
advanced in proportion then you are
not oppressed by the price of nails."
"Well," said the farmer, "I don't
build a new sts-ioom house on my
farm every year and I guess none of
my neighbors do, so the G extra
would be no hardship. A steer calf
six weeks old is worth SC more than
one ot that age was worth in 189G.
The difference in the price of a calt
will make up the difference in the
price of the nails for a new house and
I don't have to build, any wa Come
to think of it, a yearling steer now
will sell for just enough to pay for
the nails in that thousand dollar
house. Four years ago a yearling
would brmg about til."
"How man' nails do you buy in a
year?" asked the carpenter.
"Oh, about 75 cents worth," an
swered the farmer. "And I Bgure it
that the increased price beats me out
of about 12 cents. The advance in
the price of one bushel of corn or
one old hen will make up for that."
"How about your other farm
stuff?"
"Well, a 300 pound hog will bring
at least $3.50 more than it did in
1896. I sell about fifty fat hogs
every year say the total weight is
13,0()0 pounds. The advance in
price means at least $150 extra for
me. Fat cattle are worth $15 to $20
a head more than they were four
years ago and I get some little proOt
there. Most of my neighbors hare
a few head to turn off every year. A
mau only has to sell ten head of cat
tle to get $150 extra pioQt. Would
buy a whole lot of nails."
"How about hcrses?"
. "Now you have struck it, mister.
Horses have j ist doubled in price.
When Cleveland was president, good
young horses would bring from $35
to $15 apiece. Plenty of them were
bought up in my neighborhood by
horse buyers at that price. Now it
takes from $75 to $90 to buy the
same kind of a horse and there arc
just as many being bought."
"But you have Jto paj a bigger
price for everything you buy," ob
jeeteu a popuhst bystander. "You
got beat out of so much that you ain't
any better off at the end of the year."
"That shows all you know about
Jt," returned the fanner. "Four
years ago you didn't have any money

w uuy uiiyiuing wiiii, so j guess you
ain't qualified to chip in here and
make comparisons, Right here in
Dickinson county I can get shoes and
clothing as cheap or cheaper than
ever couiu, sugar is way down tp
what it used to be. And I'm not so
young but what I can remember that
coal oil used to co3t 80 cents a gal
lon. I've seen flour and meat a little
cheaper, but I've got wheat and hogs
to sell at a big price. Machinery is
about as cheap as it ever was, and a
good deal cheaper than it was seven
yours ago. I ivc years ago my oldest
boy wanted a blcyclo and be bought
a second hand one for $G0. It was
quite a luxury for the hard times
and it took two good cows to pay
Mr. Bryan is fond of quoting from
Abraham Lincoln. Here is a quota
tion that The Chuoxiclk respectfully
commends to his distinguished con
sideration. Mr. Brvan will doubtless
recognize it as applying to a time
when his running mate, Mr. Steven
son, was a Knight of the Golden
Circle and Mr. Bean's potitical an
cestors were denouncing Lincoln for
sending Vallandigham across the
federal lines because of attacks upon
the Lincoln administration scarcely
more violent than many that have
been made upon the McKinley ad
ministration by Mr. Bean's con
geners during the past year. Mr,
Lincoln said :
"He who dissuades one man from
volunteering, induces one soldier to
desert, weakens the cause as mu'jh as
he who kills an American soldier m
battle. Must I shoot a simple-minded
soldier boy who deserts, while 3
must not touch a hair of a wily agi
tator who induces him to desert?
This is none the less injurious when
effectetLby getting a father or mother
or friend into a public meeting and'
there working upon his feelings till
he is persuaded to write the soldier
boy that he is fighting in a bad cause,
for a wicked administration and a
contemptible government. I think
that in such a case to silence the
agitator and save the boy is not only
constitutional but withal a great
mercy."

Bryan closes his last letter of ac
ceptance with these significant words:
"When the doctrine that the people
are the only source of power is made
secure from further attack we can
safely proceed to the settlement of
the numerous questions which in
volve the domestic and economic
welfare of our citizens." Which,
being interpreted, means that when
Bryanism is safely seated in the
White house it will proceed to de
molish the gold standard and estab
lish the lunacy of 10 to 1 iu defiance
of the financial wisdom of every
civilized nation on tiie earth.
