THE SAME OLD CRY

According to the report of the Euro
pean Department Of Agriculture FIR
June. wheat in Great Britain was look
ing remarkably well, and an excellent
yield of all cereals was confidently ex-
pected. in France the wheat crop and
other crops are likely to be considerably
above the average. In Spain and Austro-
Hungary average crops are promised In
the southern provinces OF Italy the pros
poets are described as very good. and
in Prussia the wheat crop is expected
TO be quite up to the average. The
reports from all parts of Russia show
that crops will exceed the average.
1T is very plain. therefore. that the
American farmer will probably get a
very small price for his this years crop

as anything in this world can be that
that farmer is going 10 say his wheat
is cheap this year because silver IS

The American farmer has got the
strangest idea into his head that there
is some sort OF mysterious connection
between the price of a bushel Of wheat
and an ounce Of silver like that he

Statistical abstract OF the United States

would have seen that the average price
OF wheat for that year was IN. In point
OF fact the highest that wheat sold for
