Indianapolis, Aug. 2— Lux?, us B. Swift, the well known civil serv.ee reformer and economic writer, has ie?n delving into 'the figures concerning fanm prices and has gotten together epme very interesting facts in regard ito-whiat t'h-e farm rs of Indiana received for their 'product from the date of the "crime o£ '73" down to five .panic- of 1893, when the bottom dropped out of everything. "Free silver literature throu'g-hout," said Mr. Siwiift, in speaking otf his toles to The Express correspondent 'today, "and free silver talk everywhere draws down finally to the one argument that the disuse of silver in 1873 :has. caused a ruinous fall, of prices. "Coin's Financial School' takes wheat k'fid cotton and silver in columns side •by side from 1872 to 1893 and shows cn all a steady decline. Senator Idler, who went weeping out. of the Retp^i lb

Nevertheless, 'bath Coin and Teller and all t'he rest can ,Ibe successfully disputed."

Curious Fact Disclosed.
"I catme uipon 'the curious fact that, ih' the .period of 1871 to 1874, while t'he average price of 'Wheat in Minnesota was 73.1 cents per bushel, when that ibus'hel got to 'London the average price was' 173.3 cpnits. Yet in the period between 1887 and 1890 when the average price in 'Minnesota wais 73.4 cents 'the average price in London 'had ifallen to 106.1. How could 'the disuse oif .silver produce a result like that? -The cost oif •trans/portaition had ibeen cut In tiwo, arid 'tha't 'measured t'he fail in the London .price. I have obtained these facts ifrorn a reioent address of Edlward Atkinson, whose accuracy no one will .dispute, and who 'in turn Obtained -them ifrom the state statistician oif iMin-ne-sota. Following this cue, I 'have collected the ifarm price o.f six main crops tin Indiana for twenty years, commencimg with 1873. The prices are taken from the reports of the .commissioners of agriculture down to the time when the Indiana bure&u of etatisttes was eSta/b'Mshfd, since which time 'they have been taken from Ms reports, except a few Ibla'nks filled from the Washington bureau. The prices are the average (prices Ifor the whole state for a given year,
whether the average ie made
in Indianapolls or'Washington the system is the saime. Reports are collected ifrom .all parts o'f 'the .state and at ail times 'of the year, and both the local!-, ties and the times are averaged., "out off which is obtained the general-averu'g'e for 't he year. The crops 'taken are corn, 'WiieaL, rye, Irish potatoes ^.nd 'hay." .•

are Ooin, and Teiler, and TlUmau, and ATtgeld going to explain 'to t'he Indiana farmer why the disuee of silver strudk down one orcp and raised -up -five? Itf the whole are reduced to tons ft will be 'found that porn out weighs all the res(t. What kind of a man -is Coin to omit notice of su-ch a crop or to take for eotiruparison the one crop which 'has fallen in price and omit the five crops which have advanced? Or wha»t shaili t3 said oif Teller, who attempts to convince the Indiana farmer by taking English figures, humbugged with all manner of m-idd'le men's charges, and suppressing the Immense diminution of those charges d'U/ring 'the very period c:f The (falling of his London prices? The (free- silver literature with which the country is now flooded is 'honeycombed with gust such lyingfan-d mis4ieading s't-atamen'te." "These tarbles stop with the beginning of 18S3. T-hiy cam.plet-eiy explode the fheory that disuse of silver 'had anything .to do with the fall'in prices, and to the Indiana farmer they fix the foe-ginning of price troubles After January 1, 1893. Since 1893 the Indiana faimer, like every other person in the country, has experienced hard times. The panic of 1893 and the depression we are now suffering /from I attribute to our currency troulbles." "When we dropped the silver dollar from the coinage in 1873 i't -was worth aJbout 1.08 cents. Only about $8,000,000 had been-'coined ifrom the 'beginning of the government and this coin "had practically never circulated in -tfie United States. Comparatively few Americans living in 1861 had ever seen an American silver dollar. We resumed specie payments January 1, 1879, in gold by requiring the secretary of t'he treasury to redeem-atl greenbacks presented. He has ever since noit only redeemed the greenbacks and treasury notes wifh goLd, but he has paid gold to every creditor who desires it. In this manner the country has ibeen kept on a gold basis.
When Gold Was Plentiful, ^7
'"From 1879 to 0893 'the country and every part oif it enjoyed unexampled prosperity. Except toward the end gold was plentiful and was paid out 1n any quantity over the 'bank counter, in the store and tor wages: There "was no run on the government, the de-mand for redemption one year being jjniy $40,000. Gold needed .for export i£syas readily obtained in the ordinary channels cvf trade without calling mponthe treasury.',1 1n 1878 the 371U grains of silver become wort-h 'less t'han a-dollar, and silver mine-owners made an onslaught on us to^help tiheir market. We yielded, and in the next twelve years we bought of them enough 'Silver, paying ifor it in good money, to coin' $378,166,793 o.f the old ^stiver dollars. These dollars were depreciated in value and jthe^ etfifect xipon our albil'ity to stay up|n |t^ifegold 'basis was as though we'-had that numlber of paper dollars which we must Ibe ready to take oip at any time •with igold. 'In 1890 the silver: dollar 'had faLten to 81 cents. The financial 'world seriously doulbted our afbl'Uty to continue -in this course and remalli Mpont'he 'gold basis and (began to self. Nevertheless in 1890 we »ag|iKi il^ lowed ourselfves to ibe ibullie'SVitt*yf chw silver mine-ownens and -agreed to nearly 'double our purohases or.-silver der 'to 'hellp Itheir market. Under' this law up to 1893, we 'purchased of them $155,981,002 worth oif silver out of which we coined $36,000,000 and stored the rest as one would store hay or -oats. The 'financial world ceased to believe that we could continue gold payments, and the result was
the.
currency panic of
1893, whiioh put an end -to. prosperity of the country. In NovemIber, 1893, we stopped buying stiver. "After 6-uch a panic confidence is always slowly restored and there is no question-ibut that the revision of tariff then in process caused prosperous Industries 'to wait until It -was known what the tariff ibasis was to
Scheme of the Mine Owners. 1 I
"A'Pter the passage off the new tariff Ibil'l 'business 'was in the process of adjusting litself to it and confidence, (by reason of t'he 'law stopping the tpurohase of siln'erj was .being restored. But ,»t 'this -point the silver imine-O'wner.s sprung a carafully concocted sche*me. They (flooded the country with vicious, 'lying and incendiary Literature. T*fiey captured 'tihe machinery of the Democraitic .party. They have imade ihf .'Convention otf 'that party declare (for the ifree coin-age oif silver at 16 to 1, which means tlhat a mam wfro puts gold dollars Into 'business today may. have to receive back 50-cent silver dollars tomorrow. lUt meeds no argument to show that unidieT such cotidi-tions »(business will remain -dead and property -otf every kind unsaleable." "These are 't'he reasons why not only the Indiana farmer tout the whole.country, since 1893, has ibeen struggling in seeimOnigr financial helpJleissness. The remedy is to give such a majority at fhe coming election rthat it will be 'understood Iby al'l the world that t'hrs eouintry 4s .never going on a silver (basks.
