the facts that our great export staple,
wheat has lost since 1878 no less than
S9.4 per cent. OF its price, as measured in
gold, and 15.4 per cent. as measured In
silver bullion. This proves that Mr..
Wheeler Presumes upon the ignorance OF
his readers when he asserts that gold has
not uppreciated and that silver has de-
preciuted- Measured by wheat, silver
has increased its value ia per cent
while gold has risen in value 6I-3 per
cent. Measured by our great domestic
staple. corn, we find that gold has in
creased it's value about 82.S per cent,
