He Finds a Way to Show, to His
Own Satisfaction Alone,
Now Tho Rise in Wheat Mil Act 10 Good Of
Bran's Cause.

Washington, Oct. Ex-senator But
Ter, chairman of the Populist nationa
committee, today. gave out for publ
cation the following as to the cause o.
the rise in the price of wheat:
THE jump in wheat is simply an
other evidence of what the American
public has known for years, that is,
that the market to a certain extent Is
controlled by speculation and the price
of any product thus controlled can be
temporarily lowered or raised at VIII
by those who hold calls for future de-
livery. 1t is well known that the pur-
pose of the proposed anti-option law
was to prevent speculation from thus
bulling and bearing the market price Oh
American staple products.
This law was fought by those VINO
made immense fortunes in specializing
upon the products produced by Amerl-
can labor If proper and just anu
option bill had been passed, ana we
had an honest financial system ana
equitable transportation rates. this
present false and delusive squirt in
wheat. for, campaign purposes, would
not have occurred.
fore Congress, more than one grain
speculator on Wall street was forced
to admit before the Congressional in
yestigating committees that combined
speculators, known as bulls and bears,
had it in their power to reverse the
natural law of supply and demand, reg
ulating the price and force up prices in
the faces of an increased crop, or de-
crease prices in the face of short
crop, whenever it was to their pecuni-
airy interest to do so.
No one denies, today. that few men
control the money market and some of
these men have boosted that they could
produce a panic at pleasure. and We have
had sad experience to prove that they
could make good their boast. The same
kind of combinations, today. to certain
extent, control the prices of farm pro-
ducts. When a money panic occurs it is
simply a proof of the power of the man.
ipulators in money; when squirt in pro-
ducts occurs, it is simply a proof of the
power of the spectators, who never pro-
duce bushel of wheat or corn or oats
or pound of cotton, to control the prices
of farm products. produced by farm
labor
"The effect that the rise in wheat will
have upon Bryan's chances in my opin-
ion will only be to increase his vote. The
farmers understand the evil effects. of
products when they petitioned Congress
for an anticipation law, and they also
thoroughly understand who prevented
them from getting it. They understand
the evil effects of corner in money when
they are now joining in fighting Mckinley
and the gold standard. and supporting
Bryan Bryan. .,, t. .,o ,,ono, n,.,,ot ana
the sale of more United States bonds
would, today clearly be in Bryan's favor.
as this unparalleled speculation in wheat
will be in his favor. In short. our reports
for the last two weeks have been showing
an unusual rise in Bryan stock, especially
in the grain producing states of the cen
trail West. and this object lesson of Wall
street speculation in their products will
cause Bryan stock to more than keep
pace with the rise in wheat
