Last week we published an interesting
sketch of Mayor II. S. Pingree, of De-
troit, Mich, who is the Republican can
didate for Governor of Michigan, and
is certain to be elected by a handsome
majority. He is one Of the biggest
Drained men in the country, which has
only begun to hear from him. He was
brave, faithful soldier during the war,
and has since distinguished himself as a
citizen and a public official. He knew
all the experiences of soldier-in the
camp, on the march, in battle, and in
prison-and is consequently genuinely
devoted to the comrades who shared
those experiences with him. He is
earnest and courageous in defending the
rights of the people, and in him the peo-
pie of Michigan will have a Governor
who will promote the highest interests
of the State and every citizen in it.

THE cause of the rise in wheat is that

THE cause of the rise in wheat is that
the worlds crop is about $50. OO0, 900
bushels short. In 1894 the total crop
was 2,672,341, 900 bushels; in 1895 it
was 2,552,677,OOO bushels, or about
120,000,000 bushels less. This year it
will be still shorter, az the harvests of
India and Australia were nearly fail
ure, that of Argentina was very short,
and Russia will not be able to export
nearly the amount she has done in pre-
vious years. Relatively, the wheat crop
of the world is not large. 1t is not
much greater in bushels than the corn
crop of the United States Therefore,
it is very sensitive to any increase or
decrease in production in any part Of
the world.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1896-10-29

THE Statistical Bureau of the Agri-
cultural Department has issued long,
carefully-prepared table of prices of
wheat and silver during period of %
years, ending with June 80, 1895.
These figures show conclusively that
when silver was high wheat was low.
The highest prices we received for wheat
was from 1877 to 1882, when the aver
age price was little over S1.19 a
bushel. In 1869, when silver was worth
1921 per ounce, No. l wheat was worth
GO cents bushel in gold.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1896-10-29

THE news of the shipment of several
cargoes of American wheat to India con-
veys lesson as to how closely connected
and interdependent the commercial
operations of the world have become.
Such shipment has only become posi-
bic within comparatively few years
first, because the distance to India has
been immensely shortened, not by the
advance in shipbuilding, and, second, be-
cause commercial machinery has been
so developed that any want existing i'll
one country can be quickly supplied
from another. This also shows how our
own wheat market has been beaten
down. India helped reduce prices by
sending her own crops in the markets OF
the world, and now, when there is a
temporary scarcity in India, we retaliate
by sending our grain thither to reduce
the prices.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1896-10-29

Mr.. BRYAN says he is sure that Free
Coinage will advance the price of silver
to s1.29 an ounce. On what does he
base that belief? Mr.. Bland was equal
" sure in 1878 that coming 100000
silver dollars a month would close the
gap of 7 cents that then existed between
the bullion and the face values of the
silver dollar. We tried this for IL
years, coming nearly 400,O00,000 silver
dollars. In that time the bullion value
of the dollar fell from SO cents to IS
cents. Then Mr.. Bland and his asso-
ciates were perfectly sure that if we
would buy up the total product of the
American mines, and hold it in the
Treasury, where it would not be in COM
petition with the other silver of the
world, silver would rise to par value.
We tried that for three years. But the
production Of silver continued to aug
ment, and the price to fall. In ordi-
nary business man Would be considered
fool to persist in a belief after two
such conclusive and disastrous expert
ments. 5f Ia.
