"The doctor left, and 1 determined

observed that clock and began to
sketch it. Then went on to other
things, such as you see, scribbling idly
over most of them when finished. When
he had made the last of the sketches,
he made hasty scrawl of his pen over
it and broke down-it had brought his
terror to his mind again-somehow.

closely Now, just see. Ignore the

things following. What are they? A

chasers are willing to pay an ad-
vanced rate for it. Silver fails to
rise in a corresponding proportion,
OF in any proportion at all, for the
simple reason that the world does
not want any more Of it than is al
ready on hand. The supply ex-
ceeds the demand for any purpose,
and SO long as this continues to be
the case, its market value will not
increase. A very slight smattering
of political economy is sufficient to
an understanding of this fact, and
its relations to the currency prob
lem. When the free coiners are
able to explain why the price of
silver has remained stationary while
the price of wheat has gone up
nearly 60 per cent in a few weeks,
it will bc time for them to do some
more talking about the concurrent
fiuctuation in the value of the two
articles; but until then, they will do
well to keep still about the matter.

Gresham died Tuesday morning at

was appointed Secretary Of State

AFTER all that has been said by
the Democratic press of Missouri
about Filley's owning the Republic
can majority in the lower house Of
Legislature, the vote Of the House
on the election and fellow-servant
bills shows the utter falsity of such
a charge. He no more carries the
Republican majority around in
his vest pocket than he does the
Democratic minority. 1t has been
claimed repeatedly that Filley was
opposed to both election and fellow
servant bills and that he was using
his influence to defeat both. The
election bill passed the House with
out a dissenting vote, and it also
passed the fellow-servant bill, as
recommended by the Governor,
with but little opposition. Mr..
Filley has considerable influence
with the Republican members of
the Legislature, but we do not be-
licve he Uses that influence to an
unworthy end. We believe he has
the welfare of the people at heart
and that the personal interest he
has i'll the success Of the Republican
party in Missouri is to him a
secondary consideration. He has,
Of course, a right to his political
aspirations just the same any man
may have, and should it ever come
within the power Of the Republi-
can party in this State to again
elect United States Senator,
Chauncy l. Filley is the man upon
whom that honor should be con
ferred. He has done more to keep
the party organization intact than
any other man in Missouri, and

prices for whatever they import.
The American dollar of today
is good for its face value anywhere
in the country and for every kind
Of debt simply because the govern
ment supports it on bold basis,
and this is what the Democrats
want to- change. They are trying
to take the gold support out and
let silver pest ON its own foum1a-
ton. Such a result must neces-
sariIy be disastrous. The silver
dollar would come tumbling down
until it would take two dollars to
purchase what one dollar does now,
and all the legislation that could be
enacted in favor of it would not
raise its purchasing power to that
of gold.

Wheat and Silver.
ssoM THE GLOBE DEMOCRAT.

fa0M THE GLOBE DEMOCRAT.
One of the favorite assertions of
the free coinage advocates is that
the fall in the prices Of agricultural
products is due to the depreciation
Of silver, or, as they say, the ap-
probation Of gold. They tell the
farmer that the things he has to sell
are worth less than they used to be
because of the demonctization of
silver in 1873. Ingenious tables Of
statistics are presented to show that
silver and wheat for instane, have
advanced or declined together, and
that the effects Of friendly or I'M
friendly legislation with regard to
the white metal have invariably
been seen in the changed market
value of agricultural staples. For
tunately, we have just now an
object lesson which leaves no room
for belief in this fantastic theory.
A comparatively short time ago,
wheat was selling per bushel at
about the intrinsic value of the
silver dollar, a little over SOC, and
the free coinage people were point.
ing triumphantly to the fact as {:
demonstration of concurrent decline
of the two products. But to-day
wheat is worth nearly soc a bushel.
and silver is worth no more than il
was when wheat was selling at soc
Here is positive and practica
proof that the price of silver ha:
nothing to do with the price ot
wheat, and the same is true of al
other farm products, as any on,
can satisfy himself by consulting tn,
market reports for series of years
1t is idle to suppose that silver
possesses some occult quality whicl
is more forcible in the regulation
Of prices than all other Influences
The truth is that the prices of al
commodities, silver included. ar,
governed by the inexorablc law O
OF demand and supply. When TIN
production exceeds the demand
the price is sure to be diminished
and when the supply is not cq,,a
: to the demand, the price is certai1
to be increased. This holds good
generally speaking, regardless o

ditlons. The present rise in tn
price of wheat means that more O

The free silver Democrats in
their search for presidential can
didatc, have gone back to the ter
tiary age Of political formation
and have dug up a fossil
named Gen. John NJ. Schoficld.
OF all absurities this is certainly
the most absurd. To nominate
SchoAeld would be nothing less than
passing over the heads Of the lead
crs in the free silver movement to
make a bid for the old soldier
vote. If Schofield should be the
nominee he would be an easier
