TuE american Miller says the price Of
silver. caused by the dcmonetization Of
that metal in 1873 by the United States,
England and Germany is responsible
for the cheapness Of wheat in this country.
India and Russia are our great competitors
III the production Of wheat. The money
of India il silver that OF Russia is badly
deprcclated; and the exchange value of the
Russian currency has fallen SO much as to
be even more favorable to the expectation
of wheat The Indian rupee Is worth in
India. where silver stands at its former
monetary value, which is forty-eight
and two-third cents; but in London
the rupee is worth but thirty-two and two
liflhs cents. At present prices the Indian
exporter receives for his wheat Ill; that
is, the pay in rupees goes for that much in
his own country, but in the money Of
England, Germany, or the United States,
he is paid but sevcnty-ior cents. Such is
the difference between the commercial and
the monetary value of silver This differ
ence helps to account for the fact that
India, during the crop year of 1893, cX-
ported 36, 900, 900 bushels of wheat.

M. EIFFEL offers to build tower twice
as high as that constructed by hlm IN Paris,
on American soil for the Worlds Exposi-
ton of 1892. He says it is no longer a
question of engineering but one OF cash.
Plain people who are not engineers often
find that to raise the cash itself requires
considerable engineering.
THE new ballot law of Tennessee, based
upon the Australian system, has been de-
clared unconstitutional by one Of the local
courts, because it establishes an educational
test for voters, which is expressly forbidden
in that State. 1t is believed that the Su-
preme Court will sustain this decision. A
proceeding has also been instituted in the
Federal Court to determine the question
whether the new law is contrary to the
fourteenth amendment of the United
States Constitution.
The only really dark cloud on the busi-
ness horizon is that which casts shadow
over the Argentine Republic. The inha-
tion, speculation and general financial kite
flying which has been going on in that
country for the past few years have lowered
the value Of its paper currency untilnow 1T
is worth only A cents on the dollar as COM
pared with gold, injured the nation s credit
abrord and caused great suffering among
the poorer classes at home. A crash will
undoubtedly soon take place, which will af-
feet most of the outside world to some ex-
tent, but England in particular, as the
greater part Of the money which the repub-
lie has b0rrw5ed has gone from England.
IT has often been noted that those events
which have ultimately the most important
bearing on the affairs Of a nation occasion
little comment when they occur. 1t is not
always that the shock Of battle or the wreck
of armies there is to be found the deter
mnaton Of a nation fate or the pr0gn0sls
of lis destiny. The three little ships Of
Columbus left Spain 400 years ago, almost
escaping the public attention in the country
from which they 2ailed, but the results Of
that voyage was the birth Of mighty nations
on the shores Of a new continent. In the
deliberations Of the international congress
Of American peoples now assembled may
be wrapped the destinics of future mighty
nations What is now accepted as a trade
convention may be more pregnant with the
fates Of American civilization than WAS the
awful shocks ofarnls that rocked the North
ern continent to Is quarter century
ago.
