d. WHEAT AND SILVER

Under the above quoted significant
head the State Republican takes occa-
sion 20 sling about a column Of billings
gate at the free silver advocates, and
makes use Of such choice appcllationS
and epithets a the following: silver
lunacy", "blatant iawsmiths", free ,il-
yer demagogues", "l6 to free silver
bleaters", "cheap money craze etc.
Many of them are used several times;
and no doubt Brother Clark wishes
them to appear As argument. Because
various causes affecting supply and the
demand for wheat, together with a
speculative boom in the price has sent
that commodity up to 50 cents, where
a. it has been lingering about 10 TO 80
cents during the last year, these wise
men say: 40, now where is your theory
that wheat falls and rises parallel with
silver? Wheat has nearly doubled in
price. and silver has but slightly adj
vanced". This is fiourished with much
parade OF hitherto latent wisdom.
1t is put forward as a clincher which
ends all debate.
As a matter Of fact no bimetallist
has ever claimed that there is anything
like an exact parallelism between the
movement of prices of silver and wheat
or between silver and any other one
commodity. This is the claim that is
made that the average range OF gold
prices of staple commodities and the
price of silver measured by gold have
been practically parallel during the last
twenty years. as they were also prior
to % when silver prices were practi-
cally gold prices. Any one commodity
as wheat or cotton, is subject TO great
fluctuations in price owing to widely
varying conditions affecting both de-
mand aud supply. But if we compare
even a single commodity as wheat fol
series OF years. there is an approNi'
mate parallelism in price with silver
though the deviations are very great as
compared with the average prices OF
forty or fifty commodities The tenn
porary ups and downs of the waves Of
the sea manifested in the crest and
trough of the wave tell us little oi
the general seq level. If we wish tC
get this we must take an average, not
for day, but year or more. So the
temporary ups and downs of price have
little weight; we must take averages
and by this means local or temporary
causes will be eliminated The how
and cuss words of the Republican come
with very poor grace; they are not ar
cument. Nor would, indeed, it be am
argument if temporary causes and spec
ulation were to raise the price OF whea
to 81 80. or even $500 per bushel
There have been one or two OCCASION
when wheat has gone upward of a dol
lar since the decentralization OF silver

Concerning who's the smallest man,
st. Peter fills tho notch,
Because the Bible says of him
He slept upon his watch.
The straightest man of ancient times
Was Joseph smooth and slim,
Because the king of Egypt made
A ruler ont of him.
The strongest man of whom we know
Was Jonah on tear,
For though the whale had got him down
1t couldn't keep him there.
