IA Word as to Wheat Prices" Is the title
OF a short essay by John,Hydc of the United
States Department OF Agriculture, late ex,
pert special agent of the eleventh census
in charge of the statistics OF agriculture.
Mr. Hyde says;
In the twenty-eight years ending June
80, 1895 the United States exported more
than two billions q 2O65, ,224, ,15D OF bushels
of wheat and 2i9O62,1l2 barrels OF -four, ali
of 1t of domestic production and equivalent
in the aggregate to more than three billions
g, ,O67, ,O27 ,O9S) of bushels OF wheat. For
these enormous exports 1t received over
three billions Cl93S 495) of dollars in
gold or its equivalent the average export
price for the entire period being Sl.O41 per
bushel in gold.
The expression "in gold" is used because
from the beginning OF the period under con-
sderation down to the end OF 1878 the prices
of all commodities were expressed in cur
rency that was continually fuctuating in
value. While not nearly so low as during
the critical stages OF the war, the currency
dollar was still worth only from 6yI cents
to 74.3 cents in 1867, from S2.4 cents to
90.3 cents in 1870. and so on until at the
end of 1878, the approaching resumption
of specie payments raised IL to par. During
the first few years of the period under
very little more than 81 of the money of
the other civilized nations of the world to
whom we were disposing of our immense
surplus stocks and from whom we were
purchasing such commodities as we our
selves were in need of. Before. therefore,
the prices of American products at any time
from 1852 TO 1873 can be compared with the
prices of similar articles in other countries
or at other times, they have to be reduced
to their value in the money of commerce
AS the principal brsad-plant of all civ
ilized nations, wheat is product the price
of which Is peculiarly sensitive to temporary
influences. For that reason 1t can be con-
sidered most advantageously and most fairly
in periods OF five years. a period sufficiently
long to reduce minor oscillations to their
true relative Importance and yet not too
long to show the effect of any really sig
nifcant movement.
FIGURES OF TWENTY EIGHT YEARS.
Dividing the period under consideration
QS67 to 1880 into five terms of FIVE years
each, and one term, the last, of three years.

LINCOLN. Oct. 2S.--(special) while the
Coutures. husband and wife, are lying
in tho county Jail because they did not
have the money to pay fine, Fred Wood
ward, son OF the prosecuting attorney, is
enjoying his liberty and exulting over the
fact that he holds a note for 800 Sc

terest In the corn and potatoes now grow
ing or grown on the eighty acres of land
upon which the family have been resid-
ing.
The manner in which Fred Woodward
became connected with the defense in this
case, according to the Coutures and the
documents in his possession is reported to
be decidedly peculiar. After having talked
with the prosecuting witness and obtain
ing from him all the evidence that he re
lied upon to prosecute his case, Woodward
then took the defense and attempted to
defeat Justice in order that he might pro-
cure 500 from a family already on the
verge OF going to the poor farm.
Several lawyers in the city are authority
for the statement that young Woodward has
placed himself in position to be dis
barred and that action in that direction will
probably be taken.

PERIOD.
Totnl

The most noteworthy feature OF the forego-
Ing table. next to its stupendous aggregates,
Is the fact that IL was not during the five
years Immediately preceding 1S73 but from
1877 to 1882 that we received the highest
average price per busAsl, sl.1934. During
that period our exports were larger than at
any other time in the twenty eight years
under consideration. Our wheat was not
brought into the samel active competition
with the wheat OF other countries that 1t
has since had to encounter. 1t was In great
demand, and. in obedience TO law as in
exorable as the law OF gravtaton, its price
rose to even higher average than prevailed
from 1861 to 1872. t..,....., ..,..
But is 1t not true that during this last
mentioned period. 1861 to 1872, wheat rose
to an exceedingly high price? Was it not
the case that throughout almost the entire
first half of 1868 No. spring wheat was
worth in Chicago from Sl.9S to S2.15 per
bushel, and No. 2, from Sl.S0 to S2.10is.
currency prices? This is true, and 1t Is
fact which the wheat grower is not In the
least danger OF forgetting. But he does not
so readily remember, nor is he so frequently
reminded that before the end of the follow
ing year QS69) No. ! spring wheat was worth
In the same market only from SO cents to
IS cents, and No. 2 from 76% cents to so
cents per bushel. currency prices, equivalent
only to from 63 cents to I21a cents per
bushel in gold, and this in the face of
slight increase in the value Of silver. This
period of low prices lasted about eight
months, and was brought to an end not by
any change in the value OF silver. nor by
any legislation affecting the currency, but
simply by the breaking out of the war be-
tween France and Germany which paralyZed
the agricultural operations of two OF the
greatest nations of the world and aided
slightly by deficient harvests in one or two
other countries. speedily sent up the price
OF wheat in Liverpool 80 cents per bushel.
In the United States wheat began to rise
the moment war was seen to be inevitable,
and within sixty days it had advanced 30
cents per bushel and -four $125 per barrel.
The net result OF these various oscillations
In values was that rather less than SLY

price of wheat in the United States during

wheat supply OF the world. Russia's ex-
ports OF 81 ,250 900 bushels from 1882 to
1856 increased TO 527, 200 bushels
during the next Ave years. This increase
has continued with a brief intermisslon
down to the present time and the exports
from Russia last year amounted to no less
than 145 996 900 bushels. Prior to 1881 the
wheat exports of British India were totally
Insignificant. but from 1882 to 1891 that
country gent TO the markets OF the world the
large aggregate OF 327,39i,024 bushels
Equally remarkable has been the increase
In the exports OF wheat from Argentina
From 1882 to 1856. inclusive. they amounted
to only IL ,66222l bushels, but in
the succeeding five years they increased
to a ,29O, SOC bushels, while in the four years
last past QS92 to 1S95) they have reached a
total OF no less than 15S.192 1898 bushels
Even Canada, that IN 1884. 1889 and 1890
was an importing country, has. during the
last four years poured into the already burst
bushels OF wheat Nor must it be supposed
for a moment that all the great wheat-con-
suming nations of the world have materially
curtailed their own production. While this
has been the case in the United Kingdom,
Germany and France have
within the last half dozen years produced
some OF the largest crops in their history.
II is also important to note that the new
supplies of wheat have been sent TO the
worlds markets mainly from countries
where the cost OF production-or at least the
cost of subsistence, which has the same
cheapening effect upon the products con-
siderably less than in the United States.
This also had its effect-and a very con-
siderable one-upon prices. In the face OF
such facts as the foregoing, it would surely
be ridiculous to discuss seriously the con-
tention that 1t is the fall in the price of
silver that has caused the fall in the price
of wheat. That both have declined is true
enough, but the noncorrespondence in their
decline has been sufficient to make their
relation a matter of the grayest doubt, even
had we no other and satisfactory explana-
tion of the fall in wheat. This will be best
illustrated by the following table, In which
100 is assumed to represent the average
price of each of the two commodities during
the first five years under consideration:

BODY GOES TO JUNEAU FOR BURIAL.
Sensational sequel to the Suicide of
the Ahscomsing nnnLer. FL

JUNEAU, Wis. Oct. 23.-It seems as
though the sensations in the Rambusch
case were never to end. telegram re-
ceived from Fredericksburg. stating that
the officials there had decided to bury RAM
busch's body where 1t was found, started
the story that he had not committed suicide.
1t was intimated here that the body had
not been identified and there was no proof
that 1t was the absconding bankers. Mrs.
Rambusch was afraid that the insurance
companies would not accept the identi-
fcation and she telegraphed the authorities
to forward the body at once. A telegram
was received in reply stating that the body
had been forwarded already.
Another report which caused some excite
ment was to the effect that certain peo-
pie were arranging to get hold OF the body
when 1t arrived here and prevent its burial
before it had been strung upon a tree in
the court house yard. Not much stock was
taken in the story by Mr.. Rambusch's
friends but it was feared that trouble might
ensue if it was allowed to spread and the
people who were doing the talking were
promptly told that any such attempt would
be resisted by arms, IL necessary. 1t is
not believed that there will be any dis
turbance but 1t is not likely that there will
be regular funeral The remains are ex-
pected to arrive some time tomorrow or
Sunday and they will probably be taken di-
rect from the train to the burial place.

The badges that we wear:
The hats and canes of marching clubs
The banners that we bear;

As forced" TO make a show,
But fail to tell the sentiment
Or how the vote will go.
And so the hours glide on apace,
And still the tale Is told

And British greed and gold.
And we're ''coerced" to listen on
Till the elections Ger
