The big Flying Dutchman has been de-

we have nothing to add, excepting that
its heavenward tendency was too pro

threshold of the biggest show the world

we can of the things we saw. but the

are fearfully and wonderfully inade-
quate to the task of detailed descrip-

for such persons to take especial pleas

others. The praise that follows Its in

cially for collie. cholera morbus, dysen-

to cure chronic diarrhoea. If such be
the case, it's certainly .'Godsend" to

The Cotton and Wheat Argument.

The Springfield Republican. coming
forward with the somewhat belated ad-
mission that the .'cotton and wheat ar
gument" of the bimetallists was sound
one, says that it's effectiveness has been
destroyed by the fixing of the market
value of the rupee. Our contemporary
has either not taken the trouble to in
vestigate the new situation that has
grown out of the Indian event, or it has
misunderstood the argument which it
now endorses.
The fixing of the value of the Indian
rupee in the London market merely
fixes the discrimination against Amer
lean products that compete with those
OF India. When the value of the rupee
in London was measured by the price
Of silver bullion the discrimination
against American products was fuc-
tuating and declining quantity. It
followed the fluctuations of bullion sill
yer. Thus, when the weekly sales Of
council bills (rupee drafts) were made
by the Bank of England, British inn
porters could refuse to buy except at
the price of silver bullion to India,
have it coined and pay for their impor-
tations with the rupees. But now that
the mints are closed, these importers
will have to buy the council bills at
the price fixed, 16 pence, or go out of
business.
The discrimination against the Amer
lean producers amounts to something
more than 16 cents to the rupee in ev-
cry transaction in wheat and cotton,
that being about the difference between
the fixed price of the rupee in London
and its legal tender value among the
Indian producers, among whom silver
has known no Quotations.
It is an interesting fact that while
our Springfield contemporary has all
this time been playing 'possum on the
"cotton and wheat argument" some of
our southern brethren who have taken q
large dose of John B. Henderson De-
mocracy have been denying it.
1t is too early yet to discuss the Of
fects of the Indian experiment. As yet
it is to be regarded as an experiment..
and nothing more. Some English f.
nanciers view it with doubt, while
others are more hopeful. The leading
London newspapers do not write about
it rs confidently and as dogmatically as
(for instance) Horace White, private
secretary of the John b. Henderson
Democracy.
But whatever else may be said about
it, one thing is certain, that the British
government of India was forced to take
it's rupee paper from under the pend
ing and possible silver crash that will
follow the repeal of the Sherman law.
If its coucil bills, sold in London for
gold to pay its home obligations, had
been caught in that prospective cata-
clysm the result would have been bank
ruptcy.
But what effect the experiment will
have on the financial situation in this
country, or on the price Of cotton and
wheat can at present be left only to
conjecture. Atlanta Constitution.

There was firm tone to the Wheat market
to-day, sales being quoted as high as 81 O61l,
with some parties holding at 81 Oh for
something of fancy character. The demand
for feed Barley is not urgent, though prices
keep fairly steady. Brewing descriptions are
still in good request for shipping purposes.

portions with no change in values.
The vegetable market is well supplied with
all seasonable varieties. Potatoes of all kinds
are steady. Onions hold up we'll. Green Corn
is firm. Tomatoes are in good supply
There are few changes in fresh fruits. Choice
pears bring high prices. Ounces are very
dull. Grapes are very plentiful. Peaches are
hrmer. New crop Almonds have appeared.
The market for dairy products is generally
easier. Butter moves off better, with
weaker tone in fancy stock. Eggs have
lower tendency. Cheese is steady.
