ONE DAI'S OUTPUT OF GOLDBTJG
ARGUMENT.
Tho New York Evening Post has
an.editorial headed, "Ignorance and
carelessness is the cause " In this
editorial the editor charges that "all
the hard times of the farmers in the
South and West are due to their
own ignorance and carelessness."
In answer to this Thb Caucasian
claims that the farmers of the South
and West have as much sense now
as they had ten years ago, when
they were more prosperous than
they are now. They work harder
and make more produce, and are
more economical now than they were
then.
The Post is owned by the gold
bugs, and is trying to draw atten
tion from the real cause of hard
times.
Low prices, is the cause of hard
times, and low prices is caused by a
scarcity of money. This scarcity of
money has not been brought about
by the farmers, but by the Presi
dent of the United States and Con
gress. If the farmers have been
guilty of any "ignorance and care
lessness," it has been in voting for
Congressmen and a President who
have betrayed the interests of the
people for the bankers and money
gambleis.
On the same day the New York
World had an editorial congratulat
ing the country that "the hard times
were over, and that business was be
ginning to boom, and that prosperity
was i, returning everywhere." This
did not surprise us much in afcold
paper like the World, but we were
astonished to see a number of the
so-called free silver Democratic pa
pers in this State publish the same
kind of rot.
