"CHEAP MONEY!"

What the silver men want is cheap
er money. It is a common want, and
every business man will Join them in
that desire at least. We do not
blame anybody for wanting cheap
money. It is what sets enterprises
afoat, develops resources, and
gives prosperity to business of all
kinds.
But what do we mean by "cheap
money!" When we talk about the
cheapness of any other commodity
we do not mean that which is lower
in price because it is poorer in quail
ty. A good horse at 500 is cheap
er than a broken down old nag at
$50, or even at $25. A suit ofclothes
that costs $40, that is made of the
finest material and in the best man
ner, may be cheaper than a aslop-shop
suit at SO. When we say cheap
money we do not mean money that
is less valuable, but good money
that we can get at low price. Bad
money is dear at any price. Money
that is of uncertain value always
costs more than it is worth. It can
never be cheap money.
But does good money vary in
price, SO that it can be said to be
cheap or dear? Certainly. The price
OF money is what we have to pay to
get it-interest, and this is regulated
just ike the price Of everything else
by the law Of supply and demand,
but there is this important difference:

SILVER AND WHEAT.

The free silver advocates tell the
farmers that the low price Of wheat is
the direct result of the so-called de.
monetization of silver. in 1873. This
claim is entirely unfounded as can be
conclusively shown In the first place
silver was not demonetized in 1873.
To demonetize means to deprive of
value and cease using as money, and
everybody knows that since that time
there has been an enormous increase
in the coinage of the white metal.
Since then we have coined 43O, coo, 600
silver dollars, and besides have issued
about 200, 100000 more in fractional
coin and treasury notes against silver
bullion. We have increased our stock
of silver money from $58,00O, 900 in
1873 to $625, 200, 600 in 1895. A little
reflection will be sufficient to convince
any fair minded man that other caus-
es than silver legislation have brought
about the decline in the price of
wheat. Nor does the fall IN the price
of silver cause the decline in the price
of wheat, as the following table giving
the average gold value Of the export
price by fve-year periods abundantly
demonstrates

ed towards the decline Of about "a
cents per bushel since 1892, a decline
that has been ruinous to the wheat
ralsers OF the west. One cause we
ind in the reduced consumption OF
wheat by our own people owing to
the depression of the times thereby
throwing larger surplus upon the
worlds markets. Edward Atkinson.
the statistician, has figured OUT that
the people OF the United States con-
sumed 600 bushels per capita IN
1890, when everybody was at work,
while in 1894 only 3.41 bushels we're
consumed and 4 "a bushels in 1898.
This makes an average of nearly 4
bushels for the two years-a reduc-
tlon OF one-third or two bushels per
capita. The population OF the United
States being about 20 millions
it follows that 40 millions bushels
less OF wheat in each of the years 1894
and 1895 have been consumed by our
people owing to the lack of employ
ment. Had this wheat been con-
sumed at home it would not have
gone into the markets of the world to
further depress prices. The home
market is the farmers best and sur
est market, and when that is allowed
to suffer as it has during the past few
years, by unwise legislation, then the
farmer also suffers. It is important
to the farmer that the power of our
own people to consume be maintained. !.
Men in other occupations must earn
money in order to be able to buy the
farmers products. The wheels of
industry must be kept in motion.
Another cause that has contributed
to lower wheat prices is the abroga-
ton of Mckinley reciprocity treaties
with Cuba and the South American
countries. During the last twelve
months of the existence of these. trea-
ties 8, $50, 600 barrels of flour, equiva-
lent to Is, 000, 900 bushels of wheat,
vere shipped to-these This
trade is now abandoned, the duty on
American -four having been raised
from. 90 cents per barrel to $5 per
barrel.
These causes, over-supply in the
European market, increased competi-
ton with other wheat raising coun-
tries, and under-consumption at home,
explain fully the reason of low wheat
prices, and it is folly to lay the blame
on silver legislation. That has moth
ing to do with it. As regards the
matter of under-consumption at home,
the people of the United States will
remedy that this fall by electing Nc
Kinley and Hobart and Republican
congress that will legislate to protect
American labor and home industries

A study of this table shows an enor-
nous and constantly increasing sup
ply poured into this limited market
and it demonstrates most conclusively
why wheat is low. Before 1892 India
was not serious competitor, and it is
only since 1883 that Argentine has
come to the front as wheat raising
country, exporting 45 million @ushels
yearly, and Russia has
doubled the quantity of her export
during the past few years.
Another important factor that has
contributed to the decline in wheat
prices is the reduced cost Of produc-
ton brought about by the introduc-
ton Of improved labor-saving farm
machinery and the opening up of
large tracts Of cheap virgin soil for
the raising Of wheat through the ex-
tension of new lines Of railroads.
Lower prices for farm machinery has
lessened the cost Of raising wheat and
of itself tended to reduce the price.
But there are also orther causes
that have acted upon the price Of
wheat in our own country during the
past three years and have contribut-

1t is to be observed that with the
exception OF the past three years
wheat has averaged higher since
1873 than in the five years preceding
it, also that from 1868 TO 1882 the
price OF wheat went up while silver.
declined. These figures prove con-
clusively the hollowness Of the free
silver argument. There are 0tler
causes that are pilaii1ly fsspo tossibie
for the low price Of wheat. The
chief Of these causes is the enormous
increase in production in this and
other countries, notably Russia, In
dia, and Argentine. Every nation
in the world is making an effort to
feed itself, and consequently the
market for any surplus production
is limited. All wheat exporting
countries depend chiefly upon West
ern Europe to buy their surplus and
| the price of wheat the world over is
regulated by the price in this market.
The fact that all wheat raising coun-
tries compete for this market makes
prices low, and they are apt to con-
tinue low, until some drop out of the
contest. The following table shows
the average amount of wheat annu-
ally supplied to Western Europe by
the United States, Russia, India and
Argentine for five-year periods:

If you are ever asked to engage in a
duel with Japanese, being the chal-
lenged party select any implement of
war rather than the single stick, for
unless you are proficient in thrusts
and parties you will be "done up' in
short order.
In feudal times ev cry able-bodied
Japanese was obliged to become an
expert swordsman, so that in the event
of war he could go to the front and do
his share of fighting. But with the
improvement in the methods of war
fare, and which the Japanese were
quick to adopt, the short sword has
been relegated to the back yard and
the shop of the brio a-brac dealer, and
fencing is merely a pastime known as
gek- ken. In the civil war in Japan
eighteen years ago, however, there
were certain companies of guards
armed with swords who did some very
effective and bloody work with them.
There is CLUB in Honolulu with
headquarters on Maunakea street
whose members have an instructor in
the use of the single stick. The or
ganization is solely for amusement
rather than for business, though there
is probably a desire on the part of the
leaders to perpetuate the ld-fashiOned
methods of their forefathers in quell-
ing rebellions. Just now this club,
the Sunrise, is without al instructor,
so that there is but little practice and
no exhibitions. Yamashita, who has
