SECRETARY MORTON's STATEMENT
Amount the Farmers Received by tn,
Rise in Wheat.

Amount the Farmers Received by the
Rise i'm Wheat.
Secretary Morton has made a statement
IN regard to the wheat market in which
he says:
After a careful canvass of the situation
the most conservative estimate of the
amount received by the farmers for their
wheat up to the 21st instant, when wheat
reached its highest point, is S.6ss, 900
over and above what they would have re-
ceived at the prices ruling on September /.
According 10 the most reliable advices
and the experience Of good authorities en-
joying special advantages for forming
sound opinions, lot less than As per cent of
this years crop is still In the farmers
hands.
I'm view of the uncertainties OF the
market 1t Ii difficult to estimate on the
amount tnat will be received by producers
for that portion Of the crop still in their
hands. but on the basis Of yesterdays s
prices there would be a further gain CT
nearly $30.0O0.pU over the value based ON
the prices ruling September /. If, there
FORE the average price of wheat should
not fall below the present figures, the pro-
ceeds from the sale Of this years wheat
crop will net the farmers not less than
$5S. .6SS,OON over and above the value of
the crop on September l."

FARMERS AND FREE COINAGE
Two Views Of the Effect Of Adopting the
Silver Standard.
Wheat and Cotton Prices VIII Be
Lowered Instead of Raised
by This Measure.

From the Baltimore Sun.
No greater misfortune could happen to
our cotton planters than the transfer Of
this country to the silver standard. Their
product today commands gold in any mar
ket. If it is true, as Mr.. Bryan says, that
the gold dollar buys twice as much in the
United States as it used to do, and as he
thinks it ought to do, that state of things
cuts more in favor than against our cot
ton planters. They are buyers well as
sellers. and it is for their interest clearly
to noli on to the present standard of pay
ment, which, accepting Mr.. Bryan's argu-
ment. makes the dollars they receive from
Europe for their cotton buy twice much
goods in this country as they formerly did.
If we should go to the silver standard, the
price Of cotton would still be the gold price
In London, but serious deductions would
be made from that price because of the dis
turbance of the par Of exchange. Those
deductions would certainly come out Of the
pockets Of the planters.
From the New York World
The free silver orators tell the farmers
that the price of silver regulates the price
OF wheat and cotton. Yet during the last
thirty days wheat and cotton have very
greatly increased in price, while silver has
steadily declined
The simple fact is that the price of silver
has no more to do with the price of farm
products than have the changes of the
moon: Silver is not the monetary standard
In which prices are measured. Its price,
therefore. has no function wha atever to per-
form in regulating or even in measuring
the price OF other commodities.
wheat declined Tor long time because
OF competition from Argentine, Russia and
India. and because Of heavy crops in this
country. 1t was purely a question of sup
ply and demand.
Now that the supply is less in proportion
to the demand, wheat has gone up nearly
IL cents bushel within the last thirty
days. and 1t will continue to go up and
dewn under the law Of supply and demand,
uninfiuenced either way by the price Of
silver-a commodity in no way related to it.
The falsity of this plea to farmers for
free silver support is exposed. This bubble
has been pricked

A DOCTOR TESTIFIES,
BOTH AS PATIENT
AND As A DOCTOR,

Doctor c. p. McEnheimer, 4O2 Sixth

Doubt of SchnaubeIt's Death.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The friends OF Rudolph Schnaubelt. who
will 60 down in history as the man credited
with throwing the bomb at the Haymarket
say they do not believe the report of his
death which came yesterday from San Ber-
nardino. Cal. While they have no positive
knowledge about the matter they say for
various reasons they think II more likely II
was one Of the other brothers. Henry or
Adolph, both of whom have been living for
some years on the coast.
This skepticism seems TO be based upon
the faith that Rudolph Schnaubelt leads q
sort of charmed life and is less likely to be
dead than either of his brothers, who have
suffered with consumption.

Complicated in the Eighth.
The prohibition element in the eighth
district complicates matters. The cold
water people in that district are stronger
than anywhere else in the state, though
their work in this canvass has not been
SO vigorous as heretofore. The sound
money sentiment in Alexandria city is
quite strong. The republicans seem hope
ful that they will put their candidate
through. Pat McCaun Is the republican
candidate. He is opposed by John F.
Rixey. free silver democrat, who has q
very fair chance to win.
Walker in the Ninth.
The ninth district Is the scene Of a hot
contest. Judge Samuel W. Williams, free

seem to be contesting every inch of ground
in the district. Both sides are already
claiming the victory. General Walker was
elected two years ago on a free silver plat
form, but the free silver democrats are
for Williams on the ground that what was
good enough for Walker then is good
enough for them now. There is q strong
sound money sentiment in this district.
While the result appears now to be doubt
full, the chances are In favor of Walker by
a small majority.
Favorable to YOst.
No estimates of majorities on either
side have been given out as to the result
in the tenth district. Here an exceedingly
hot fight Is on. with the chances strongly
In favor Of Jacob Yost, the republican cam
didate. against the free silver democratic
nominee, H. D. Flood. This district is now
represented by H. st. George Tucker. The
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad runs through
the district on both sides, and 1t is thought
that the active part taken by Mr.. NJ. E.
ingalls,, president of the Chesapeake and
Ohio system, for Mckinley, and the fur
ther fact that the chairman Of the ma
tional democratic state committee is also
a resident of this district, will tend to
make the fight very close. The republican
forces in the district are strongly united.
and among the democrats there is strong
sound money sentiment.

The State Department has just published
a volume Of topical interest, entitled

rency Systems Of Various Nations I'm their
Relation to Prices of Commodities. of

ten-year period between 1886 and 1891. and

The result is volume of 274 pages, In
which each country is treated in detail.
Annexed is a summary OF the findings
prepared by Frederic Emory, chief of the
bureau OF statistics of the State Depart
ment. in which he says:
Two important facts seem to be es-
tablished, viz: ~ That there has been a
general decline in the prices of commod-
throughout the world. It is claimed on
one hand that this decline in prices is
due to scarcity of money and on the other
hand that it is to be attributed to progress
both of raw materials and manufacture.
causing keener competition with the in
evitable accompaniment Of lower prices.
1t will be noted that in Mexico prices have
neen steadier for articles which could
be most pI Iofitably exported for gold, and
that sharp fluctuations, due to local scar
city of product. have occurred in such
articles as wheat and corn, in which the
prices have been generally downward in
the markets of the world. (O That there
has leen general advance in wages, es-
peciaily marked in the leading Industrial
countries. all Of which have either sin

These stateents are supported by q short

lowing facts:
