Each party seeks to convince the voter that dire disaster is impending in case of the success of their opponents. The silver party makes much of 'the crime of 73', and kindred crimes in the Old World." 842 368 THIRD PARTY MOVEMENTS Dr. Newell D. Hillis, a native Iowan but then located in Chicago, lectured during the summer in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa, and gave a very interesting account of a meeting of farmers in a country schoolhouse in Iowa. "The chief feature of... the speak- er's address", he observes, "was his charts. Upon one end of a blackboard was written an estimate of the num- ber of millions of bushels of oats raised this year by the farmers of Iowa, and a further estimate of the value of the crop at the market price of 13 cents a bushel. The Populist portrayed the farmer working like a slave through eight months of the year to produce this 13-cent bushel of oats, while the railway in a single day and night hauled the grain to Chicago, where it receives 7 of the 13 cents as its recompense.
