in reducing "all price Uowh to the
gold basis, that iron it down, wheat la
dowa. ailvr. wool and cotton are all
down aolely In coDaotiunco of the re
" duction of price to the gold standard
that dollar now purchases more than
it did, and therefore no one i InjnwJ."
Till frank aJiniwion on the part ot Mr.
Clew i directly in line with the con
tention of the advocate of thedjublo
standard, that is, that the adoption of
the ninsle gold tamlarj will f oreo down
price to the actual coat of production,
and therefore appreciate the pui-cliating
power of gold. This is what he menu." i
when be talks about reducing "prices
down fo the gold basis." Tho produc
ing classes are not so simple minded as
to believe that when wheat drops down
to onlv a fraction above the co-t cf pro
duction, when wool and nearly all tho
other staple products drop to the
lowest minimum value that this means
prosperity to the masses. The most
tupid of sluggish swains knows better
. than that. It is hard to make the in
telligent farmer believe that be can use
one dollar to better advantage than he
eoald two or three dollars ten or twenty
years ago. lie knows better, and no
sophistry of the goldbug lunatic ran
convince him that the fallacy is true.
