TRANSMITTING VENEZUELAN PAPERS.
EXTENT AND IMPORTANCE OF THE EVIDENCE TO
BE LAID BEFORE THE COMMISSION.
Washington, April 9.-Mr. Malet- Provost has had
a conference at the Venezuelan Legation with Sehor
Andrade relative to the translation and printing OF
the documents recently received by Senior Andrade
on the subject Of the boundary dispute between
Venezuela and British Guiana. Owing 10 the fact
that it has yet been possible make and print
the TRANSACTIONS of these documents. they have no:
been formally presented to the Commission. 1t Is
the intention Of Senior Andrade to submit both the
original documents and the printed TRANSACTIONS as
they be prepared. The following will
to give some idea regarding the extent and
Importance of these documents:
They are contained in three large folio volumes
and comprise from 1000 to 100 closely written
pages Most Of them are in the form or certified
copies Of original manuscripts on fe In the archives
at Seville Simancas and Madrid. Many documents
cited and quoted by the British Government In the
Blue Book recently presented to Parliament are
given in that book only in the form Of extracts.
Some OF the documents now in the hands OF Senor
Andrade are complete copies OF these papers and
will therefore enable the Commission 10 form
much more accurate idea with regard TO their
tracts given in the British Blue Book exceed
ing.y meagre as. for instance. in the case OF the re.
PSr on y December t. 1853 The extracts from
this report as given in the British Blue Book cover
certhced copy of which Is now at the Venezuelan
Legation contains nearly 400 pages. Inc rahsla-
ton OF these documents will necessarily occupy
some week.. as Interpretation OF the technicfS'
language used for legal documents In the sixteenth.

than ordinary skill ana care , 1900.

1t will be seen from this table that while
during tho first 10 years Of the period un-
der consideration, including the years
from 1873 to 1882, silver fell more than IS
cents per ounce, or IA per cent wheat ad
yanced about ga cents per bushel, or 2
per cent, and that while during the last 90
days silver has fallen cents an ounce
wheat owing to deficient harvests in other
countries, has advanced from Ga to rs
cents per bushel.
The attempt to show that the so called
"crime of 1872 has anything to do with
the decline in the price of wheat falls fiat
in the face of the official figures, The av-
erage price of wheat per bushel from July
i, 1867, to June 80, 1879, was $l.16 In
the next five years 1t was s1.14. The
highest price, sl.19, was reached between
1877 and 1889, many years after the al
legged crime of 1879 From that figure
1t declined to sl.02 for the five years be-
tween 1889 and 1887, to 80 for the years
between 1887 and 1899, and to rs for the
years between 1899 and 1895.
What was the cause Of this declincp Was
1t due to the decline In the price of silver
Nota all. 1t has already been shown that
no such relation exists. This decline arises
from several causes, two in particular:
First, the decreased cost of production.
The work formerly done " many harvest
srs Is now done by one machine, which
has reduced the cost of production from
1890 in 1880 to s115 In 1891, while at the
same time the charges for transportation
have fallen since 1878 an average of rs per
cent by lake and canal and 63 per cent by
rail from Chicago.
A second cause Of the decline of wheat
tp recent years is increased competition
from other countries. When the markets

New YORK, Oct. 28-The fight to decide

milan Sporting club last night. The prices
OF admission were more prohibitivs than
those usually charged being $40, SIS and
SO The fact that George ("Kid'D } Layigne,
Of Saginaw Mich, and Jack Everhart,
Of New Orleans, were to contest for the
championship of the world brought on q
good crowd of sports who were willing to
to pay any price to see the mill. The con-
test was scheduled for twenty-five rounds
at 1888 pounds, and both men weighed in

Police Commissioner Andrews and Act
ing Inspector Harley, as well as number
OF policemen in plain clothes, were on
hand, and it was rumored that if any
rough fighting was INDUCED in the police
would stop the bout.
Lavigne started to defeat his man early
In the contest, and as early as the fourth
round Everhart was rather groggy. As the
battle progressed Lavigne sho wed his su-
periority. Everhart was very weak at call
of time in tho twenty-thrd round, and he
was hugging Lavigne when tho gong
rang. In the twenty-fourth round La

bout and awarded the fight to Lavigne

are filed with wheat, the price Of wheat,
In response TO the inevitable law Of supply
and demand, goes down, but II the supply
Of wheat is scarce and limited, and is not
enough for the demands Of the world, tho
price goes up.
A few illustrations will demonstrate the
truth Of this In 1S87-8 the failure Of
crops in England caused an advance of AZ
cents per bushel In 1S79-8l the failure Of
the British crop sent the price up NJ cents
bushel.
II the production Of wheat had stood still
in other countries, the great increase in the
United States would alone have brought
down prices. But meanwhile huge wheat
fields were opened in Russia India aud
Argentina, all Of which were adding large
ly to the wheat supply of the world. For
example, Russia's export Of wheat in
creased from S71, $50, 600 bushels in 1926
to 527,2l0, 900 In 1861. Last year they
were no less than 145, 996, 900 bushels.
So, too, with Argentina. From 1896
the wheat exports amounted to only H.
662,2 bushels, but in 1861 they in
creased to 44,29O sos bushels, whilo in
1925 they have reached the enormous
total of 1853, 1872, 033 bushels.
These figures demonstrate how great has
been the oyerproduction of wheat and how
1t has affected the price of that commodity.
1t Is an effective answer to the false claims
and the specous arguments of the Bryan
ties They have tried long enough to fool
the farmers, but they cannot deceive them
by such sophistries as these. The farmer
who sees the price of wheat going up and
the price of silver going down is not going
to be captured by any foolish talk about
wheat and silver such as the Bryanite
newspapers and orators have been pouring
forth. Al far as tho farmer is concerned,
the situation is very clearly described in
tho following statement by Mr.. Morton,
secretary of agriculture:
"Ihe rise Of wheat in Chicago and New
York markets during the last 60 days is
about 20 cents bushel. This is on crop
of $50, 900, 600 bushels and makes 800, 000,-
OOO And at least 200, 600, 900 bushels Of this
wheat are now owned by and in the hands
of American farmers. Thus In GO days
wheat has made for its producers about
s40,0 600, 600. During the same period silver
has declined cents an ounce, from SO to
66 cents. The alleged kinship Of prices for
wheat and silver is disprovcd. Wheat is
divorced from silver on the lawful ground
that the relation of supply to demand is
the sole regulator of values, and Bryan and
Watson and Sewall are made correspondents
because of their scandalous assertions. If
it he dishonest in dollar to rise in its
power to purchase wheat, Is it not equally
dishonest for wheat to rise in its power to
purchase dollars"
