silver and Wheat Compared.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean Of
the 9Th inst. we clip the following:
New York, Feb, There was a
big drop in wheat on the Produce
exchange to-day, and the lowest price
ever recorded was reached. From
the closing price of Ga cents last
night the cereal fell to 665 cents to-
day. The excitement was intense.
Business opened with every member
on the floor and looking for trouble.
Reports from Chicago helped tc knock
the bottom out of things, and May
wheat went all to pieces. On the first
call there was drop Of &c, aud for
the next hour pandemonium reigned.
The opening price was &c, but with.
in fifteen minutes it had gone to 671c,
and when, finally, it reached the un-
precedented figure in this market of
66s cents the pit went wild.
After reading the above then read
the following Associated Press report
published in all the leading dailies Of
the same date:
LONDON, Feb. THE morning pa-
pers comment upon the fact of silver
touching the low record prce--26 IT,
16d per ounce. The Times regards
the matter seriously and in its tinan-
cIal article says that 1t attracts the
PANIED attention OF many interests.
Will some republican please rige
and explain this remarkable coinci-
dence. The oft repeated assertion Of
the populists that the price Of wheat
goes down or up according as silver
goes down or up. is clearly proven
again. Every industrialist who stud
les these matters cannot help favor
ing the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver.
