He nailed the sign between two
great trees that stand at the entrance
to his place and awaited the outcome.
In the rear Cf his place, out OF sight OF
the road, he had big pile of uncut

long after the sign was nai.e1 up, four
tattered wanderers came along. The
sign caught their attention. They

rubbed their hands. But on further

Any man who, after consulting these
figures, can t.ace a relation of cause
and effect between wheat and silver
lrices is beyond the reach of mathe-
matical demonstration. Again, there
is almost as gre at a fallacy in assuming
that the Indian wheat cCm clifton is
ruin ng our market. This has TO be
assumed, in order to make out case
for silver; for the argument is that
Great Britain buys In liar wheat with
ST yer at its coinage value, which it has
procured from us at its bullion value,
pocketing the difference and cheapen-
ing the price of Indian wheat by that
al cunt. AS she could not, if the ar
gument we. true, play this game with
any other country than her own de-
tendency, the argument aga falls to
the ground as on as we examine the
wheat port fgu 'es. The st. Taul
Pioneer Press showed, few days ago,
that the Argentine Re .1ublic was at
p esent the most dangerous and de-
pressing influence in the wheat mar
set. The following figures, again
taken from the Ltndon Economist,
show the wheat imports of Great Brit
ain for the last five years. The figures
given represent millions of bu hels:

4 Wealth Destroyer.


It Is probable that IL the trath we're
known it would be found that the
Cleveland panic has cost the country
in actual money loss several tines as
much as did the civil war. A few
large items will show how great and
universal the shrinkage OF values has
been. The bank clearances for 1893,
as compared with those OF 1892, fell Off
$4,000, 10000. The mind can no more
grasp the idea of that amount of
money than 1t can the idea of infinity.
Seventy-fve ra lroad systems, repre-
senting one-sixth OF the railway mile
age of the United States, went into
the hands of receivers in 1892. The
gross receipts Of III railroad systems
fell of more than $S,0)o,00c. Five
hundred and ninety eight hanks clio sed
their doors. The number of bushes )
failures increased 80 per cent. within
twelve months. During the six years
preceding 1893 the aggregate liabili-
ties in all the business failures in the
United States did not much exceed
$2C0,C00,000; in 1893 they exceeded
1891 100000. These are some of the
large items which can be stated
with close approach to accuracy, but
no definite statement can be made OF
the general shrinkage of values, the
loss of wealth production from the
idleness of great mul itudes of men,
the loss TO the commercial world from
the non-payment of wages and from a
general paralysis of business opera
tions. Every pound of wool that has
been clipped this year has lost one
third of its value. Every domestic
animal in the count y has been scaled
down in price. Every bushe. OF wheat
has lost from one-fourth to one-third
of its former value. IN short, the
shrinkage in values that cannot be
automatically stated has probibly been
even greater than the aggregate of the
large items given above.
Mr.. Cleveland in one OF his messages
refer. ed to manufacturers as men who
employ the protective system to levy a
forced tribute from their fellow-citi-
zens." Yet in less than one year Mr..
Cleveland S party, led and instigated
by him, has inflicted upon the country
losses probably exceeding all the pro-
tectiye duties paid by the people since
the foundation of the Government. -

Chill nearly 1000 900 bushels, from
Argentine nearly 1900 900 ushels. and
from India 100000 bushels 1t Is
nonsense to seek in the dem onetization
OF silver cause OF fall of prices so
fully accounted for by this kind OF
competition. We may add that during
the period when silver suffered a
heavy fall, between 1881 and 1891, the
exports of Indian wheat to England
declined. 1t Is absolute y proved, by
statistics within the reach of any
one, that there IL no such connection
as has been asserted between the price
of silver AMI that OF wheat. No intel
gent man should become the victim
of such a superstition, which was in
vented solely to procure, by false pre-
ten:es, the votes of the farmers for
free coinage and cheap money.

sugar schedule in the Senate tariff bill
which lays an annual tax of many mill
ions on the American people has been
traced 10 Secretary Carlisle, who was
Cleveland man Friday in the whole
business. Mr.. Clevelands Secretary
IF the Treasury tried, in his testimony
before the Investigating committee, to
shift the odious burden from his
shoulders by claiming that the sched-
ule finally adopted was not the one he
drew up. The deadly parallel will
show how little there is in the defense
put forward by Cleveland's Secretary
of the Treasury:
The schedule adopt The schedule pre-
ed by the Senate fi-sented by Carlisle:
nance Committee:
"On and after Jan. 1,
"On and after Jan. l. 1897. there shall be lev.
1928, there shall bell led and collected on all
levied, collected and sugar not above No. l6
paid on all sugars not Dutch standard In col
above No. 10 Dutch or, and on all tank bot
standard In color, and toms, syIups OF cane

or there shall be lev EN-" etc.
led collected and paid
a duty OF one eighth of
one per cent. per
pound. In addition to
the said duty of 40 per
cent ad valorem."
Comparing these two sche lules, it
will be seen that both gave the sugar
trust all it asked. Both gave it the
time between the passage of the bill
and the lst of January, 1898, for stock
ing up free raw sugar, favor that eX-
perts estimate would be worth fifty
millions to the trust Both place AZ
per cent. al valorem duty on raw
sugar The only difference between
the two schedules Is ttat Carl sle's ad
valorem duty of - FER cent. on refined
sugar is converted into a 40 per cent.
ad valorem duty plus specific duty OF
{ OF | per cent. pound.
Commenting on this change the New
York Sun says: at is for experts to de-
termine which of the two arrangements
is more beneficial to the trust. Very
curiously we have on record the Secre-
tary's opinion that there Is no practi-
cal difference between the original
schedule" Squirm as it may the Cleve-
land admin tration cannot get out of
the responsibility of doing its best to
enab a heartless trust to wiring out of
the American people millions of dol
lars which was to reward it tor con-
tributing to the Cleveland campaign
