the Money Question.
CINCINNATI, O., April 5-~Neither of
the great political parties can afford to
ignore the silver issue in the next pres
ldential campaign. 1t will overshadow
the tariff and cast it into the back
ground"
This decisive statement was made by
President Andrews of Brown university
Mr.. Andrews was one of the representa-
tives of the United States in the last
international monetary conference and
prefaced his conversation by the state
ment: II was. appointed on the commit

forced to declare for free silver to catch
the western states?" was asked.

must make some concessions to silver.
They must pledge themselves to strive
for an international agreement, or per-
haps even promise more than that do
not think the time has come for this
country to take the initiative in restoring
silver at a given ratio to gold.
here Is no use trying to suppress
the issue in the west" continued the pro-
lessor. at should be met half way.
Thinking people want bimetalism, with
an international agreement if possible,
but they don't believe in waiting forever.
Neither do l. But independent action
should be delayed until all signs point to
an imitation of our course by the other
nations.
What would be the result of free
coinage now?"
HThe Immediate result would be tre-
mendous revival Of business and restora-
ton of depressed values. Money boarded
in banks would be turned loose. We
should wrest from Europe most of the
trade with silver countries. Our factor
les would be worked to their full capac-
ity.
''All of our gold would pass to Europe.
but we would not need it, and if our
example was followed by Europe we
would never have any backset over it.
l hear western people talking of the
crime of 1873. l do not think any of
the members of congress were criminal
in their action, but do think they made
terrible mistake and we have suffered
from it ever since"

CHICAGO MARKEr LETTER.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock
Exchange. Room 8. Columbian Building.
Wheat opened with a wild rush this
morning on a range of 551a to 5556 for
the May option. Cables were all
strong and higher and good export
demand, over fifty loads taken for
export at New York and out ports
last evening after the market closed and
A loads loading at New York this morn
ing for Europe. Receipts are falling off
considerably in the northwest and only 8
cars at Chicago yesterday and IA today.
The export clearances have been quite
liberal this week and a big decrease in
the visible Monday is expected
Stocks of wheat in London are very
small, 1,344, 900 bushels. and European
supplies are lower than they have been
for years and we are the only country
that can furnish them supplies quickly
as it takes from six TO seven weeks
longer to get it from Argentine and they
have poor grade.
The situation looks very encouraging
to holders. Wheat is too low. 1t may
be depressed for a time by artificial ma
nipulation, but it is bound to do better
and eventually seek its level in compari-
son with corn, oats and provisions In
dications point to higher prices
Corn opened strong with an advance of
d over night and remained quiet but
firm during the entire session. Cash de-
mand is good, export demand fair and
decreasing receipts are the principal
features in the corn market. Only 80
cars at Chicago today and only rs of it
graded. All the market needs is a little
more business to score good advance.
Oats are firm and featureless, cash de-
mand good.
Provisions opened strong with an adj
vance of Is cents per barrel for pork,
and remained very quiet until the noon
hour when it eased off little on heavy
realizing by people who had it bought
around ten dollars and were satisfied
with handsome profit.
We do not look for any further decline
as Armour and the packers are
watching for weak spots to buy it on.
Hog receipts are falling off considera-
bly,, only 5000 estimated for Chicago to-
morrow, and are bringing fancy prices
at the union stock yards.

THE BASE BALL SPIRIT.
1t Appears to Have Struck Topeka thi
Season With Both Feet.

Season With Both Feet.
This is going to be great year for
base ball In the east enthusiasm is
higher than it has been for many sea-
sons. and even Topeka, where interest in
the game has always Jagged, is showing
signs of interest that promise to burst
forth into enthusiasm if properly en-
couraged
The time for organization has arrived
and the time is being pretty generally
observed The most nota BILE instance of
this Is the Capital City base ball club
which has reorganized stronger than
ever. Two good teams have been formed
at the Santa Fe shops, one at the Santa
Fe offices, another at the state house, and
yet another from among the posto6 ce
employees. Even the newspaper en-
ployes have caught the base ball spirit
and have organized rival teams that are
doing good practice work for a match
game on April 10. There is no better
way for the hard working youth to pass
a holiday or summer evening than en-
gaging in healthy, active, invigorating
bout at the national game.
