THE TERRITORIES.

is temporary in its nature, and should

CURRENT COMMENT.

r1Bryan refuses utterly to discuss
the tariff. He has good reason to wan,
his connection with that entirely for
gotten.-National Tribune.
DWheat goes up and up. What is
the matter with silver? If silver pulled
wheat down, should not wheat pull sill
yer up?-Chicago Inter Ocean.
DThe popocratic managers will
never realize how worthless most of
their claims are until they send them
out for collection.-Chicago Post.
ONothing but downpour of rain
stops the daily meetings in McKinley's
yard. The crowds come in carloads.
and there is practically continuous
show, which differs. however. from the
vaudeville in that there Is no acting.
Both crowds and speaker are in dead
earnest.-Chicago Record (Ind.).

lar is now worth, intrinsically, about so
cents. Wheat has advanced 10 cents a
bushel, which advance, it is estimated,
has put about 7s,5oo,OOO into the pock-
cts of the holders of the cereal.
If the government should adopt free
silver 1t would put 35,O0O,0O0 a year
into the pockets of the 100 persons who
represent the great silver trust.
The silver trust represents over $780,
100000. That is an immense sum of
money, and If the power of wealth is as
great as 1t is said to be, the silver mine
owners should be able to manipulate
the market to some degree to their own
advantage. Theirpower is concentrated,
and back of them would be the inn
mense power of the great silver inter-
ests of the world. Yet this immense
power cannot prevent the fall in the
price of the white metal.
Wheat, however, goes up. Responsive
to that inexorable law against which no
human will or combination can prevail,
the price advances. In the fuctuation
of the price of the wheat and silver, the
intelligent observer sees the whole phil
osophy Of the operation of the laws Of
value.
1t has been maintained by the advo-
Gates of the Bryan school of economists
that there was indissoluble union be-
tween the prices of silver and of wheat.
Like Hans Breitman's party, it may be
asked, where is that union now?
In fact, every illustration used by the
Bryanites to point their morals and
adorn their tales, comes sooner or later
to be turned against them.-Albany
Journal.

the purchasing power of our circulut-
ing medium from $500, 100000 as at
present, to about $500,000,000. Every
man of intelligence knows the panic,
ruin and commercial disaster which
would be sure to follow. Mr.. Bryan
himself knows it; for at Ackley Ia,
he admitted that the first effect of the
success of the free coinage demand
would be to bring on n panic. How
long would such a panic last? Will it
be one year or five years? No man can
answer. 1t would last until all bust
ness engagements would become adj
justed to the radical changes in value.
No farmer needs to be told that in times
of panic he cannot get good prices for
what he has to sell. Business panics
simply ruin the market, and he, being
forced to sell his crops as they are
raised, must sell for what he can get
at the time.
Now let Ills suppose we have reached
that period where business affairs are
becoming adjusted to n debased cur
rency. The man who cots what the
wages. All contracts for wages are now
on the basis of dollars equal in purchas-
ing power to the present gold dollar.
When the panic is over, and prices of all
commodities begin to rise to a level
corresponding to the decline in value Of
the dollar, what will be the position
of the wage-worker? His condition will
measure the amount of prosperity that
the farmer is TO get, because 1t is his
purchases that will make the farmers
market. 1t is law absolute and I'M
changcable, that the wages are the last
thing to rise. His employees will grant
him an increase of wages slowly, and
only when forced to do so. There will
be struggle for years and years be-
tween employers and employees, and
wages will go up but slowly. This
means then that the purchasing power
of his wages will for years be less than
now; consequently, he will be- forced to
buy less than atpresent. This being so,
there will be less market for wheat, and
meats and farm products generally, I'M
less the farmer will sell more to him
for the same amount of money. In
stead, therefore, of getting better prices
for what he has to sell. the farmer
will find his market restricted, because
the workingman's wages ore changed
but little and that slowly, and the prices
Of his products will be exactly in pro-
portion to the purchasing power of the
wages Of the workingman.
Instead, therefore. Of getting twice

mounted upon its belt, and the muslin
skirt can be gathered and tackled ON
to it, ribbon band concealing the head
of the gathers; this band can be re.
moved in few moments when the skirt
requires to be cleaned.
Another plan for mounting the mus.

case both skirts must reach the band

cut upon the cross and hemmed at the
lower edge before the lace is added,
while they are whipped at the top and
drawn up with very slight fullness.

as much for his wheat and slogs, he
will at first get the same as now, and
any further advance will be just as
slow as the advance in wages. At the
same time. however, when he wants to
buy cloth or machinery or any other
manufactured product he will find the
prices marked up promptly. The
manufacturer may be slow in marking
up wages, but he will be prompt in
marking up the prices of what he has
to sell. The farmer will then find
that, while he now gets so cents in gold
for his bushel Of wheat, he will then get
so cents on the silver standard, but,
when he wants to trade that SO cents at
the store, twill only go one-half as far
as his present so cents goes.
In the end, after years of ceaseless
struggle, conditions may become so
adjusted that the. ratio between wages
and general prices will again become
equitable; but long before that will be
fact thousands and thousands of
farmers will have been forced to give
up the struggle, their farms will have
been lost, and their children will won
der at the shortsightedness of their
fathers in supporting policy which
finally wrought their ruin.
The kernel for farmers to grasp is
the fact that prices for their products
depend upon the wages paid the wage
earning class. When free silver cuts
those wages down in purchasing power
1t cuts down the market, and therefore
the price for farm products. While a
deprecated currency means higher
prices for what the farmer has to buy,
it means low wages, and therefore low
prices for what he has to sell. The
fate of the farmer and the fate of the
wage Garner are locked up together.
When one is struck the other feels the
blow.-Farmers' Union and Agricul-
tural Review.
