^MONETIZATION Of Silver and What If Has Cost Indiana Farmers. Com|»r«h»»MvF Table* Khovlni; What They Should Have Received and What They Old Receive aa a Reward Fcr Their Toil aiuce 1873 — Total Lone on Wheat, Cora and Oata Amount* to th* Euormoai Horn of 84IS,Do 1,113. Indiana is pre-eminently an agricultural state. In 1590, according to Che census report, Indiana had 196,167 farms, rained, including fences and buildings, implements and machinery and livestock, at (869.332,787^ It would be a conservative estimate to say that Indiana now has 20^,000 farms and that their total value, including fences, buildings, implements, machinery aud livestock, is I600.000.00b. If it is admitted that Indiana has 200,000 farms, the estimate of five persons to the farm, or a)tQtal of 1,000,000 of the state’s population are directly associated with the farms of the state in carrying forward the great industry will not be oontroterted. The investment in farms overtops aud overshadows investments iu auy other industry in the state, and it may be said all other industrial enterprises combined. The railroad interests, about which so much is said, capitalized or “watered” as they are. as an investment do not exceed $160,000,000. So much is merely preiactory, designed to substantiate the proposition, that agriculture, or fanning, is the one great, overmastering interest of Indiana.

It h«B rKK>n asKprrM and demonstrated beyond proof to*the contrary. that the demonetization of silver in 1873 ha* had ^rnluoos eTwct upon the prices of farm products, that as silver has declined in value farm products have also declined proportionately, and it will be well for farmers to take the fact* into consideration and see if they bear out the averment. And if they do, farmers have a eolation of conditions whlah since 1873 have prevented them from receiving many mihioas of dollars which might to have rewarded them for their toil and anxiety. The question is so momentous and eo far reaching in its consequences ns to lift it far above partisan ciaiuor, for :• 4>s pnrusan only to the extent that parries may seize upon the right or wrong involved, the one party asserting the demonetization of ailver lie* at the bottom<of the question of the depreciation of the value of farm prodocts, the other party eugagei iu obscuriup the facts aud contending that other agencies haye operated iu bringing about the decline, iu which they uUk loudly, but not learnedly. of the gold standard, btlance of trade, etc., but which iu uo wise,modify the startling facts, that with the decline of silver oonsoqoeut upon demonetisation. (arm products, keeping step to the monrnful music, have as steadily declined. A UtUe Simple Arithmetic. Preliminary to the employment of a liMe simple arithmetic to show farmers Of Indiana a few startiiug facts relating to the losses they have suitamed by the decline in the price of their products since 1873 will be iu order. It is not oouteifded. nor is it to be denied, that other agencies have been in operation whereby the price of farm products have .declined, lrut that the demonetization of silver, and the consequent decline of that metul has been the ohief factor in producing the misfortunes of the fanners of luduuia is asserted, and the fact* warrant the conclusion, llwltor IS th* 1’rtc* of SUvwr muI I'utn

rr«a«rU From 1878 to 1837 the price of silver declined trow $1.02 par oauce to 47 cents per oauce. a fail of to cents per ounce, or 5338 per cent. Daring she roars from PsT.I to ftuS, wboet declined from $1.15 per bushel to 62.3 cent* a bushel, a fall of 54,7 CHiut# a bushel or 45 86 per cent. From 1678 to 1898 ooru declined from 48 cents a bQsbal to 30 cent* a bushel, a fall of ft cents a bushel or 87.00 per cent From 1878 to 1606 oats declined from f7.4 rents a bushel to 22 cents a bushel, a fail of 15.04 cents a bushel, or 41.17 per cent. From 1673 bo 1608 rye declined from 70.8 cents a bushel to 40 8 cents a j bushel, a fall of 35.fi cents a bushel, or 40 fi per ceui ) During the name period barley declined from 01.5 eeuts a bushel to 32.3 cents a bushel, a fall of 64.Si cents a bushel, or 05.7 per pent From 1873 to 1607 hay declined from $13.55 per ton to per ton, a fall of $108 per ton. or 51 per cent. From 1678 to 1605 potatoes declined from 70.5 cents par bushel to 266 cents per bushel, a fall of 48.9 cents a bushel, arllptrotat These figures, relating to the price of fares products for the periods stated, are taken chiefly from estimates prepared by the United States department of agriealture, and include the whole country, bpt may be regarded as appla- - cable to Indiana as to any other state, but the statistics relating to annual products found in the tables are taken from reports of the Indiana bureau of j statistics. In this article it is not proposed, in showing the extent the fanners of In-^ diaaa have suffered by the decline in the price of farm products, to give each year from 1673 to 1886, nor, indeed, to •elect the most disastrous years to farmers, hut to introduce anthorative dates of a number of, years attainted to produce and rivet ooaviotion that the demonetization of silver in 1873 has been productive of disasters to the fenaers oi j

Indiana so enormous In tbsir sum total as to tax credulity and amaae the people. Indiana la a wheat producing state, and it would be interesting to show the sum total of the product of the great cereal for all the years since 1878, but since that cannot be done for the want of spaoe and the neoessary data it must suffice to introduce the product of only a limited number of years, showing the decline in prioes as compared with 1S7S, when silver was demonetized.

But the losses sustained by the decline in wheat is but a portion of the calamities which have befallen the fanners of Indiana, ooaseqaont chiefly, upon the demoaeii* zatiomol silver, and it is therefore iu order to give the facts relating to the losses farmers have sustained in the decline of prices in ooru, as shown m the following tables.

That the decline In the price of corn was owing largely to the decline in the price of silver is shown in the fact that while stiver declined from #1.02 per ounce in 1878 to 47 cents in 1897, oorn declined trorn 48 oonts a bcL.-hel in 1873 to 30 cents in 1898.

We have U yearMn which the product of barley it g$rea in statistical tables, mowing the sum total of the product at 5,63^.399 bushels. In 1878 the price of barley was 91.5 cents a bushel, aad it declined to 32.8 cents a bushel. If we divide the loss and assume that (Ate average loee to the Indiana fanners was 28.1 cents a bushel, one-half jpf the decline, it is seen that upon this highly liberal estimate the iocs was 11,564.671. The rye product of the state tor 12 years, foe which statistics are available, amounted to 8,653,183 bushels. The de

The facta stated indicate clearly that the prioe of farm products in Indiana have kept pace with the decline of silver since 1873, and that while there have been occasional reactions in prices, such for instance, as short crops at home and abroad, the downward _ maroh was resumed, as soon as abnormal conditions disappeared until, in spite of the claims to the contrary, farmers in Indiana as elsewhere, have been the victims of legislation to ..establish the gold standard and the outlook now, with wheat at 62 oents a bushel, and that a gambling price on ehange and bucketshop ventures is gloomy. If, however, the I machinations of bondholders, trusts, I syndicates and gold speculators are [ thwarted at the polls in November, as j the indications warrant, there is good i reason for believing that an era of ; prosperity will oome to the farmers of | Indiana agtd to the country, for until : the farmers are prosperous it were foily to indulge the idea that the *• orosDerous.
