The Democratic situation.

III the faculty of seeing facts and the
ability to reason upon them have not de-
parted from the free silver Democrats,
they will not attempt to commit the ma
tional convention TO their theory.
The facts of the political situation
briefly are:
Ficst.-That the Democratic party
has been defeated in every presidential
election since the war when it leaned
toward financial unsoundness and has
been successful in every contest in which
it stood for honest money.
Second.--That it cannot carry a sin
gle northern state or one-half the bor-
der states for free silver and consequent
~ would be beaten dis%astrously IN the
election upon that issue.
Third-That it cannot hope TO carry
the house Of representatives upon that
issue. The majority against freecoinage
has increased from Is in the Fifty-sec-
ond congress to t25 in the present house.
There are no signs of gains Tor silver
anywhere this year.
Fourth. Doing unable to elect either
a president or a house upon this issue.
do its supporters hope to throw the cleo
ton of a president into the house? In
that case the choice of the Republican
candidate is absolutely certain.
Conceding that the free silver Demo-
Gratis will be able to write their idea
into the platform, what IA it profit
them? What are conventions for if not
to improve the conditions of success or
to put the party in the way Of a triumph
in the near futuref Is the free silver fad
all there is of Democracy for our friends
at the west and SOUTH ''Only common
sense is necessary to show them the Mt
ter futility of their present course. -

q. Is III true that the price of wheat
and many other farm products has fallen
heavily? A. 1t is.
@. How are such declines, in wheat,
for. instance, to be exclaimed? A. By
the enormously rapid increase in grain
growing area throughout the world.
@. Has this increase been especially
rapid since 1872? A. The increase in
grain growing area in this period, espe-
cially in North America, South America
and Asia, has never been approached in
any equal period in the history Of the
world.
@. How do we judge Of actual com.
petition in the sale Of wheat? A. By
the supplies thrown annually on the
worlds great distributing markets.
@. What market in particular? A.
England, where most OF the buying
nations 60 10 purchase their grain.
@. What are the figures? A. AS re-
Gently as 1880 Great Britain imported,
for consumption and re-export, 8 1884,
924 hundredweight of wheat-a large
increase over the preceding annual aver
age. In 1895 it imported 81, 749, 955
hundredweight.
@. What has made possible this re.
markable increase in wheat productioni
A. The exceedingly rapid development
Of transportation facilities in newly Gull
tivated grain countries; among them
India, Russia and the Argentine Re-
public.
@. Has there been an increase in the
United States itself? A. An enormous
increase.
Q. How large? A. In 1875 there
were 26, 381,512 acres of wheat culti-
waited in this country in 1891 there
We're 80, ole. 697, an increase of 80 per
cent. The yield in 1875 was 292, 1885,,
600 bushels, a heavy increase over pre-
ceding years. In 1891 the yield was
GIL, $50. 900. Even last year, with a
greatly reduced acreage and a partial
crop failure, the yield was 467, 100, 600
bushels.
Q. Has the yield of other crops in
creased correspondingly? A. 1t has.
q. Give instances. A. Thecultivated
area Of corn ia the United States III
1871 was 84, 0q1, 1877 acres; in 1891 it
was &c, 204, 80; increase, 1914 per cent.
The yield Of corn last year was more
than double that Of any year prior to
1875. Both the acreage and the average
annual yield cf cats have doubled since
1871. Our cotton crop in 1894 was so
per cent greater Than in any year prior
to 1887.
O. Yves a decline ia grain and cotton.
prices under such conditions inevitable?
A. AS inevitable as u decline in the
price of clothing or furniture or books
or steel rails or pins when competition
in their manufacture has extended enor-
mously.
@. Would free coinage help the pro-
ducers Of grain to a large profit under
such conditions? A. Not in the least.
q. Why not? A. Because if the NOM
inal price of grain were to rise through
initiation Of the currency the price Of
everything else would rise also, and the
farmer would be relatively no better off
than he was before. New York Even

Cause Of free silver crane.

The causes of the free silver craze are
lAought by the Baltimore Sun to be
the same which caused the greenback
heresy to find advocates in so many
states of the Union 20 years ago--the
feeling of unrest and desire for a
'change, no matter what, produced by
hard times, bad business and lack Of
employment-the desire, conscious OF
unconscious, of debtors to scale their
debts by paying them in q deprecated
c~urrency-the vague idea that more
money in circulation means more
money in each individually pocket, with
out reference to his means or opportunity
to esrn or acquire It."

"Suppose," says Coins Financial
School, that congress should pass a
law tomorrow authorizing the purchase
of 100, 600 cavalry horses of certain
sizes and qualities. Horses would adj
vance in value"
This is one Of Coin" Harvey's argu-
ments 90 show how free coinage would
raise the price Of silver. 1t does not fit
the case, because under free coinage the
government would not purchase silver,
but would simply stamp it and make it
legal tender. Is it likely that the gov
ernment stamp is going to greatly in
rease the value cf silver? Will some Of
COINS pupils tell how much the
