It is a story told in figures—fig ures furnished by the sworn offi cers of the state of this union—a story the truth of which there can be no gainsa,ving.- . A,few days ago'The Constitution took occasion to demolish, by a plain statement of facts and fig ures, the claim which had been set forth by the advocates of the sin gle gold standard that the “aver age financial condition of ithe farmers is improving all the time.”; Tho statement-was made in the vain hope demonstrating to the pfeople of America, and particular ly to the people of five south, that they are growing richer under the operations of the gold standard. There is a very simple and a very easy wey to ascertain -the exact facts concerning this point, and The Constitution piesentr to-day that story. It is indeed a lesson of the gold Standagd. The table of figures presented hero is one which anybody g can understand. It shows the'bha%gein the property valuationsy>f the different states of the different, states of the union, iroin 189s to 1864. And in show-* * hi-.il 14 j jhj; T- Vqieralinns of the single gold stun-" dafd in a single year. It demon-- strates', more clearly than any. ar gument could, the fact that under the operations of this system, which lias been in full force within the past year, the.people have sus tained great losses, and that the money sealers have shown- great increases in' valuations at the ex pense of the people’s prosperity.: Forty-Three State Officials Testify. The official figures from forty three states and territories are pre sented, ! n one ort w-o of the states of the union the .fixing of property valuation is arbitrary on the part of the state and is made only once in five-years. ■ This is the case in Michigan, for instftce. In Rhode Island and Connecticut there are no returns of property for taxation -at least no flguree showiug such returns could • be obtained from the proper officers of (lie state. Of the others only North Dakota and Delaware are missing; the ex pected telegrams not having reach ed here in time for this article. The figures presauted are from the official reports of the auditors and comptrollers of state in forty three states and territories. Of these 4fi only twelve show an in crease of property valuation,!*. The remaining 31 show almo't uniform decreases. The total in crease for the twelve states la $887,800,753. Of this amount $235,883,482 conies from New York alone. Seventy per cent, of the entire increase in property valu-‘ ; tion as shown by- these official re turns comes from the great mon ey center of the Union and 70 per emit of the remainder comes from the two states of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, each of them strong financial centers. The to tal increase in the remaining nine atates' is on 1 y $80,822,002, •FIVE JKUSOSXJD, iIII,LIUN3 ,DBOBP4 Thirty-one states —and in using the term states several territories are included—show * falling off-. 'The total decrease in property valuations of these states is $OOO,- 185,790. This falling off is 'widespread. There is ho overwhelmingly large change in a singfe rtate, as is shown by New Yotk.-fynt the de crease is uniform all along the. line.
