her mints to the discarded silver Of
the world? II does not require much
Of,a financier to answer that.

apt to do, we might say thatas wheat

therefore, u decline in the price Of sill
yer makes better prices for wheat. So
far as analogy goes there is q better
basis for this conclusion than for the
other, but neither is justified.
WHY WHEAT Is Low.
Asa matter Of fact there Is no neces.
sity for any search for hidden influen-
ces responsible for the present low
prices Of wheat. The truth stands
out clearly. We grow more wheat
than we can ourselves use. 1t must
be sold in the worlds markets. The
worlds market for wheat is narrow
and circumscribed. Every nation
strives to feed itself aud most of them
succeed. The market for wheat is al.
most entirely In Western Europe,
Great Britain and Holland drawing
the larger part Of their supply from
abroad, and France, Germany, Italy
Belgium and q few other smaller
countries buying each year a small
fraction Of their consumption, the
amount varying as their crops are
good or bad.
To supply this limited demand four
countries are In competition as wheat
growers, the United States, Russia,
India and Argentine. There are a
few others like Chill; Australia and
Canada that furnish small amount
but their contributions cut little fig
ure. The struggle among the four
great producers for the privilege Of
furnishing cheap bread to European
artisans has reduced the price Of
wheat to the present figure. and until
one or moro than one Of them gives

PRICE IN CURRENCY

Bearing In mInd that the value Of
wheat to It's owner is Its purchasing
power, and that this can only be
measured in coin. 1t is necessary to
reduce the currency values for 1868 to
1879 to the gold basis upon which
prices Of wheat and all other commod-
titles now rests. This is done below
BY taking the average gold value Of
currency for each Of the five-year per.
iods. so that the currency price is re-
duced to its equivalent In gold.

WHY WHEAT us Low IN PRICE

PIONEER Press:
The following, correspondence be-
tween +. q. Baker, a we'll known
farmer Of White Hall, ILL.,. and B. w.
Snow, for many years assistant statis-
tician Of the department of agricul-
ture at Washington, and now connect.
ed with one Of the leading agricultur-
81 papers Of the: United States, will
be read withinterest by every farmer
and every citizen3interested in the re-
lation of'silver to- prices -or ogr pro
ducts. Mr.. Snow has made . careful
study Of these subjects for; many
years. and the fact that he held an
important positiohiin the department
of agriculture for more than a de-
cade, shows the value OF his Judgment
and the reliability and accuracy Of
his statements and deductions. Every
farmer and everybody. interested in
this subject should not only read this
letter carefully, but see that his
neighbors read 1t.
WHITE HALL, I'LL, Aug. l, 1896
Dear Sir: The advocates of the free
and unlimited coinage Of. silver are
telling our farmers that the present
low price OF wheat is the direct result
of the demonetization Of silver in
173 Wheat is certainly very low
now, and I would be glad to have
your opinion as to the cause, and If
you think 1t is not due to. the demone-
tization Of silver. please give me the
facts upon which you base your opin-
ion. Yours truly.
+. u. BAKER.
CHICAGO, Aug. s, 1s96-Dear Sir:
The claim that the low price Of wheat
is due to the so-called demonetization
Of silver in 1873 is without support. In
the first place, silver was not '.dem-
onetized" In 1873. To demonetlze
means to deprive of value; to with
draw from use as money, and neither
has been done with silver. Up to 1873
this country had only coined, since
the opening Of the mints 5000, 600
silver dollars; since that year it has
coined 423. .000, 600, every one q full
legal tender and Of purchasing. power
equal to gold. That year, instead of
marking the stoppage Of coipage OF
silver, really marked Its beginning 20
far as It's large use is concerned, as
a, 900, 900 of all classes Of silver cur
rency we're coined In that year against
q, SOC, 700 IN 1872, and followed by
nearly 81 900, 900 in 1874, tl5, 900, 600 In
1875, and constantly increasing until
$39, 100000 came from the mints in
1880.
WHEAT DID NOT DECLINE,
The record of wheat prices during
the last thirty years demonstrate the
falsity of the claim that values de.
clined as result OF the financial
legislation Of 1873. In|the period Of
five years, covering the fifteenth to
the twentieth year after that legisla.
tion, the value of wheat averaged
higher than 10 the, same number Of
years Immediately preceding 1873.
A large surplus OF wheat is always
grown In this country, and that sur.
