WHY WHEAT Is DOWN.

Every one who has informed him
self upon the need of wheat and the
prices for which it has been sold dur
ing the past three months Is surprised
that the quotations have been so low.
The cause is found in London and
Calcutta, and strange as it may seem,
some great American statesmen are,
to a certain extent, hackers of the
cause and have contributed to the
condition.
In India where much wheat is raised
the silver rupee is worth forty-eight
cents in gold.
In London where much wheat is
purchased the rupee is worth thirty
two to thirty-eight cents in gold.
When the British grain dealer de-
sires 20 buy a few cargoes of Indian
wheat, he grabs up a lot of silver at
the rate of thirty-two or t~hirty-eight
cents per rupee, and ships the same to
India to exchange for wheat. If wheat
there is worth m rupee per bushel,
he actually pays but thirty-two to
thirty-eight cents for it, or from twelve
to sixteen cents less than it is quoted
in the Calcutta market.
Now how have Americans con-
tributed to this condition.? Simply by
following Great Britaln's plan of de-
monetizing and cheapening silver, and
moving the price down SO low that the
Indian rupee is worth twelve to sixteen
cents less in Great Britain, where gold
is the standard, than it is in India,
where silver is the standard.
When silver is remonetized, silver
coinage resumed, and its value re-
stored to what it was when 1T was de-
monetized, the American farmer can
sell his wheat at an advance of twelve
to sixteen cents per bushel.

MIR. SPRINGER,S VIEWS.

A newspaper reporter approached
Springer, of Illinois, Saturday and
said: y
ssYou don't think it advisable to
bring in anything looking toward a
finished tariff billP"
81 do not, for several reasons" re-
piled the Illinois leader. ..First, it
would prolong the session until Sep
TENDER or October if we should pass
the bill and give the senate an oppor-
tunity to consider it before adjourn
ment.
ssSecond, it would have no chance of
becoming a law, and would amount
simply to a declaration of the demo-
cratic platform on each particular
item. We tried this plan in 1888.
The result was a republican president
and a Reed congress. We should only
attempt such legislation as we may
have reasonable hope to secure. If a
democratic house and a democratic
president shall be elected next year a
bill should be reported the first day OF
the next session and considered at
every moment when the house was not
engaged upon matters that were
absolutely necessary. The new con-
gress should be called in extra session
on March A, 1898, further to consider
this bill and make it a law in the very
first months of the new administra-
tion."
So, Mr.. Springer, it seems, is also in
favor of the INTELLIGENCER's policy

THE REPUBIIC,s MENDACITY.

If downright mendacity was an
offense against statutory as it is against
the moral law, the st. Louis Republic
could not escape Indictment for q
week.
During the meeting of the silver
congress at Ell Paso, Texas, this week,
Z Ex-senator Reagan made a very bril-
liant speech upon the subject of Free
Silver Coinage.
In his delivery, the old Texan
slashed quite lively into some pet men
and measures of the Republic, and
that sheet at once pounces upon him
and says he favors fiat money.
A careful reading of Senator Rea-
gan's plan will convince any man of
sense that there isn't a particle of fiat
moneyism in it. The Republic simply
lied about it. The INTELLIGENCER
will publish Senator Reagan's plan
next week.

THE MAN WHO CAN WIN.

81 am for the man who can win,
whether his name be Cleveland, Hill,

thusiastic democrat to the INTELLIGEN-
GER Wednesday morning. "What
want" he continued, sis the success OF
the democratic party and its princi-
pies, and one good man will suit me
just as we'll as another"
This is the correct doctrine. This
is democracy. This is the elevation OF
above men. This is getting
away from the worship of party idols

times, said, "Give us a king"

Illinois seems to have a few fool
editors as well rs Missouri; editors
that are now berating Springer as ours
are berating Hatch for presuming to
resist the bossism of the st. Louis
Republic, and entering the race for
the speakership. 1t might as well
be settled now as at any other time.
1t was moi Hatch, nor Springer, nor
Mcmillan who beat Mills, but that
eminent democrat and accomplished
parliamentarian from Georgia, Charles
+. Crisp. Had there been but Crisp
and Mills in the race, Crisp would
simply have had the vote on the
first ballot he received on the thirtieth,
with possibly fifteen or twenty more,
which Mills bulldozers frightened
away from Crisp's support.
The weekly intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1891-1901, 1891-12-19


It is now conceded that the present
congress VIII repeal the Sherman silver
law (act of July, 1S90) and pass a
bill providing for the free coinage of
all silver produced from mines of the
United States. This is the policy of
Speaker Crisp, a large majority of
congress, and seven-tenths of the peo-
pie of the United States. The fact
that no foreign silver will be coined
cuts no practical figure, as there is no
foreign silver that is likely to seek
coinage ut our mints.

RIVER IMPROVEMENT CONVENTION

I'LL En- nv EN- Inn OON HIN
Twelve states were represented at
the River Improvement Convention at
Kansas City this week. These were
Missouri, Kansas, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado,
Illinois, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana. The president of
the convention was Governor Thayer of
Nebraska, and the delegates are repre-
sentative men of all branches of trade
and with the addition of a
number of bright politicians. One OF
the leading spirits of the convention
was a prominent railway official, whose
interest in the convention indicates
that the improvement of the river will
have the support of some of the rail
roads.
The convention took a decided stand
Tor an independent appropriation fol-
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
and the resolutions include a demand
that the appropriation for the improve
ment of the Missouri river be distinctly
granted for the benefit of navigation,
not for the protection of railroad
bridges or other private property.
President Putnam, of the Commercial
club, sounded the key note in his
address upon calling the convention to
order. He was not there to estimate
what the cost of improving the river
would be; that was not the question
for either the convention or congress to
decide. The river could be made nav
igable, and as the commerce of the
country demanded that it be improved
it was the duty of Congress to improve
it, and go at the work Systematically,
and at once.
The weekly intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1891-1901, 1891-12-19

The fact that Gov. Hill is making
speeches in New York favoring the free
coinage of silver, makes it look as if
those democrats who wanted to retreat
from the silver issue because they
feared the party could not carry New
York with that issue prominent in its
platform, were running before they
were shot at. Hill is the best posted
man in New York about political feel
ing there, and knows precisely what he
is doing.
