It is sold for 60 cents. and it is $1.20 when it gets home to pay fixed charges with. The burddns are thrown off the backs of the people and they prosper. they can produce more wheat and they have driven us out of the market. The same is true of the Asiatics. Our farmers are brought face to face with this ruinous competition. Of course we can not have gold here. It is our poverty that makes them take the gold from us. because we must sell at goldprices in competition with the Asiatics. We can not accumulate it unless we have something with which to buy gold. When a man says that the remonetization of silver would produce contraction. he thinks the people of the United States are very ignorant or he is ignorant or vicious.
