Farmers Buy as Well as Sell.

The farmers who have been inhu.
enced by the promise that under free
coinage they would get more money for
their crops would have taken no stock
in the cheap money movement had they
been told at the same time that they
would have to pay at least twice as
much money for the things they need
That all trade is simply barter, that
men do not raise wheat or make stoves
in order to get money, but goods which
they can use, is a primary lesson in po-
litical economy which every voter
should thoroughly understand. There
is not one man in a thousand that would
buy an article at high price when he
could get one just as good at a lower
price. What men would not do as indi-
yiduals they would not do as a nation Il
they knew that their interests as con-
sumers were all on the side of the cheap
er goods. And in spite of populist and
silverite pretenses that debasing the
currency would give them more wealth
in exchange for their products, the
farmers are rapidly finding out that
the prices of their staple crops are fixed
in the gold standard countries, and that
even if they did get more cheap money
for some things they have to sell they
would be met with double prices wher
ever they went to buy. When this
truth becomes generally known, there
will be no more complaints agains'
| cheap goods.

Conundrum.

The report Of the director of the mint
for the year 1894 shows, at page II,
that from 1873 to 1894 the United
States paid for 459,o46,7o1 fine ounces
of silver $464,210,263. The present
price of silver per ounce fine is 65 cents,
and the value Of that bought is $685.
e65,s56. The loss on the transaction,
therefore, amounts at present to $685.
244,9o7. Who got the money paid for
the silver? What have they done with
It? Has any of it been invested or
loaned in the south or west? If so,
where?

Every workingman knows this fact

Each dollar of wages will now buy

Every workingman knows this fact

Every workingman is better off to-

Bancroft's Magic,

In the appearance of Frederick
Bancroft and his large company of
twenty-siX assistants last night in
the opera house, San Antonians
enjoyed the first of the season
magical entertainment to a high
degree. Not only did Bancroft
afford q splendid evenings diver
sion in many mysterious feats of
legerdemain and illusion, but he
also shows some Of the most beau
tiful stage settings.
The opening scene representing
the "Palace of Enchantment," was
truly a copy Of the mind picture OF
that palace of enchantment which
to all youthful memories is present
after a perusal of the Arabian
Nights. The scenery is painted II
represent onyx columns, and from
grand staircase the magician de
sends and presents himself to tn,
audience. Grand carved furniture
tables supported by elephants
tusks, ETC., added to the scenery
The first part consisted OF the
usual card tricks, followed by tn,
reading of a passage from bool
held in the audience. In the in
Permission a hornpipe dance by
little girl, was done.
Satsuma, the japanese juggler
filled in the second part with diff
cult feats of his art.
Part third consisted Of dissoly
ing substances into nothing in
mysterious manner.
Part four was probably the bes
OF all because more diversified
Various feats Of sleight of han
were presented, all very difficult (
comprehension and sltogetht
mystifying.
A matinee was given today, an
other entertainments will be give
tonight and tomorrow night.

Put Up the Price of Corn.

II the United States can double the
price of silver without the aid or con-
sent of any other nation, why couldn't
it double the price of cornP The corn
crop is worth more than the silver crop
many times over, even at low prices.
Wheat is being taken care of by the old
law Of demand and supply. But the
populists ought to make the demand
that congress fix the price of corn by
law.

WHY WHEAT IS UP.
Because OF Reduced supply and Increased
Demand.

| Because OF Reduced Supply and Increased
| Demand.
| In 1891 the wheat harvests of Europe
were extraordinarily bad, and as our
crop was the largest we ever harvested
We had an enormous export. But since
then our exports have been steadily di-
minishing, from 225,o0o,000 bushels in
1912 to 126,o00,oo0 bushels in 1886.
During this period of decreased demand
for our wheat the Argentine Republic
came to the front as an exporter, and
the price of wheat naturally enough
tended downward. Beerbohm, one of
the highest authorities upon the wheat
market, computes thatthe worlds wheat
crop averaged 262,000,000 quarters, of
eight bushels, for the four years 1886,
279,000,0o0 for the four years 1SS7-90,
and 304,000,00O quarters for the four
years, 1914. The estimated increase in
the demand for wheat for food is 1000
COO quarters a year, and in eight years
the supply increased not 100000
quarters, but 100000 quarters. That
the price should fall was inevitable.
But the'world's available supply of
wheat on July /, according to Brad
streets, was 100000 900 bushels less than
it was one year before, and the worlds
crop for this year is estimated by the
Liverpool Corn Trade News at 100000
600 bushels less than last year. This
makes the supply 115,00o,O00 bushels
less than the supply year ago. The es-
innate of this years crop is 95,000,000
bushels less than the average crop for
the four years 1914. The normal in
crease of demand due to increase of pop
ulation since the middle or average
point in that four-year period would be
about 65,000,000 bushels. The condi-
tons are very favorable, therefore, for
an advance in price. This advance, due
to the buying of American grain for
Europe, began very slowly. AS the pur-
chases increased, the price rose faster.
When American wheat was shipped TO
australia and India, both of which are
accustomed to export wheat, the price
jumped suddenly. Vessel room for out
going wheat was well engaged early in
the season, and only when it became
evident that, Europe had got to buy all
we could sell and had already engaged
the ships to carry it to her, did the price
here rise rapidly.
The following are the lowest and
highest quotations on the New York
produce exchange for cash wheat, No.

Here is an increase of about one-half.
To be exact, it was little more over
the export of wheat and -four for the
corresponding three months and three
weeks of 1895. Vessels to carry grain
have been chartered both on the Allan
tic and the Pacific coasts for dates as
far ahead as next April, and this proves
how preposterous is the pretense Of the
sjlverites that the advance in wheat is
the result of "bull" movement con-
Quoted by lot of gold-standard men
for the sake Of influencing the election.
There is shortage of wheat, and the
price is going up, just as it went down
when wheat was produced faster than
it could be consumed. Coinage laws
and speculation have nothing TO do
with either movement of wheat.

SCHOOLS In GERMANY.
Prof. l.. j.. RettEer Talks of Them to
the Marion County

Prof. L. J. Rettger. of the State Normal
School, at Terre Haute, has delivered several
interesting talks at the meeting OF the Marion
Teachers Institute. at the courthouse. Professor
Rettger has travelled extensively in foreign lands,
and has spent considerable time in observing the
work done in the schools of Germany. where it
is compulsory for all children between the ages
Of six and fourteen years to attend school. 1t
is also compulsory for teachers to be graduates
Of some university or normal school. The young
teacher is carefully watched through a two years
probationary period, and il he is then success
full in passing examinations he is licensed to
teach. In Germany. he said. teachers have prac-
long as forty years. When ii is necessary the
government pensions teachers in their old age.
While Germany is ahead of most countries in
the education OF boys, the Professor said that
little attention is paid TO the girls. 1t is re-
garlad as about su ficient 20 make of them good
housewives. II a girl wishes ultimately TO enter
the university. il is necessary to obtain special
permission. But few take advantage OF the OPP
portunity, and most women in German un;ver-
stiles are Americans.
Yesterday Professor Rettger spoke on the
early religious dispute between St. Peter and St.
Paul. He also spoke OF his recent tour of Pal
estine and Egypt. Prof. Arnold TomDkins re-
sumed his talk on grammar.
