RISES
WHEAT
WHY
Great Natural Demand for the Cereal, but the
White Metal Is a Drug on the Market.

While silver for weeks has been drop
ping practically without interruption
from about 20 cents an ounce to less than
IS cents, wheat has been shooting up as
If it had wings.
1t is peculiarly interesting at this time,
when Mr.. Bryan and the other soon-to-
be-snuffed-out lights Of the ~free-silver
heresy have been examining a variety of
pleasing fictions down the throats of
farmers, to call attention to the practical
~ simultaneous rise in wheat and drop
in silver.
Probably the free-silver folk will say in
regard to the remarkable rise in wheat
about IL cents a bushel in q month:
What did we tell you? It's as clear az
daylight; everybody knows that free sill
yer will succeed, hence they are buying
wheat now, as it will go to a dollar at
least after Mr.. Bryan's election. That's
wheat"
Won't Work Both ways.
1t this is the free-silver argument for
the advance in wheat. why is it that Eu-
rope is not buying silver at 64A cents an
ounce If Mr.. Bryan's election will raise
its price to $1.29?
Mr.: Bryan's contention has been that it
was Impossible Tor wheat to rise as long
as the gold standard prevailed. Mr..
Bryan knew as well as any Of us that
he was lying when he said that. What
Ices he say about it now. His silence
on the subject is most expansive. Possi-
bly, he is racking his brains to account
for it, and it is probable he may get off
something equally Illuminating ~ his ex-
PLANTATION of the gold import movement.
The fact is, this advance in wheat,
Wn0iIV 01n N0 II S0 IN nA~,~~ 1890
IS a stunning blow to the free silver
fallacy. 1t is useless to tell the farmer
that ne cannot get more for his wheat
While we remain on a gold standard,
when he is receiving 10 cents q busheI
more for it than he was a month ago.
considering that this has been one OF
the stock arguments of the free silver
ties: it is well to point out again and
again just why wheat has advanced.
1t is all summed up in this: The crops
here n abroad have been short, the
total decrease for the world, according to

Oct. Is. Sept. II.

Americans are in the midst Of u mar
velous era. Several hundred million dol
lars have been added to the value of
American products in the last ninety
days. The magic of Aladdin is tame by
the side of the sober truth of modern
trade. The widest dreams Of the apos-
ties OF fatism pale into insignifcance in
comparison with the simple fact Of to-
day. Nature is making money for
Americans faster than any printing
press could do it. The rise in the prices
OF the products of American farms
means the beginning of a prosperity that
needs only the success Of the honest dol
lar at the November election to guaran-
tee it's permanence.
Most of the chief farm products share
in the advanced prices. Most Of these
commodities are being exported in enor-
nous quantities, and in exchange Amer
lea will get European gold. No one can
say truly how much has been added to
the wealth Of Americans by the rise. but
q few figures will give the reader an ink
ling of the mighty force at work, for
American veal. Corn has risen 5 cents
q bushel, wheat IA cents and BATS 4
cents. Competent grain men estimate
that those advances have added 10 the
value of the holdings in this country on
the three cereals alone the following

more holders of silver saw that they
had paid a good price for a white elc-

This is considerably lower than It Wa
