The Farmer's Trouble With Free Trade and Currency
The piece argues free trade and soft currency harm farmers by reducing home demand for crops. Citing declines in corn and wheat consumption since 1892, it blames wage-purchasing power losses from Wilson’s policies and calls to restore home buying power by employing wage workers. It cites Bryan’s stance as extending free trade and weakening farmers further. It also notes legal ruling on Wisconsin Humane Society agent fees and a gubernatorial race setback for Sewall with Bryan.
