Not less than ninety-one million dol
lars of foreign gold Will be brought TO
this country to pay Tor the wheat which
we are about TO ship abroad TO meet
the demand caused by ehe failure or
partial failure OF crops in Russia, Ar
gentina. and India.
The increase in the price OF wheat.
from which the farmers and shippers
OF this country are already deriving
good benefit, IS not due TO a corner
on the market or its manipulation for
political purposes. lt results from the
plain working Of the law Of supply and
demand. Countries which usually rival
our own in supplying the Continental
markets have failed this year 20 pro-
duce the usual amount Of grain. and the
United States, taking advantage OF the
situation, is sending her surplus wheat
abroad and gathering the gold dollars
which must be paid for all products
which are sold in the markets OF the
world.
That the movement OF grain is not
duo TO corner or manipulation for
political purposes IS shown by the re-
ports OF the Heralds correspondents. In
the West the demand for cars for the
movement of grain IS so great that the
railroads cannot supply them. Some OF
the roads are falling short a hundred
cars a day. AT Baltimore and other
points IT. IS impossible 10 find enough
vessels IN which TO carry the grain
abroad. Every available vessel has
been chartered. and shippers who are
anxious TO push their trade are looking
for more ships in which to load grain
to be sent to other shores.-New York

White Republican club. of this city. last

delivery, / read it to an intelligent. life
long Democrat and native of Virginia,
requesting him to tell me If 1t con-
tanned any word or sentence which
could reasonably give offence 10 any
one. After careful hearing OF the
entire speech, he assured me that ne

spect | delivered the speech as writ

from beginning to end. Imagine my
surprise, on reading the report of my
address in the Gazette Of last Saturday
evening, TO find that I was understood
by your reporter as having applied 10
Mr.. Bryan every epithet of the stage,
and that 1 proclaimed him in theory an
Anarchist and disruptionist." Neither
OF these terms were written in the adj
d.tss. and neither OF them were uttered
from the platform. The invective was
not in the speech, but in the reporter.
for he calls Mr.. Mckinley wolf

free-silvertes. but did so. not by o?oro-
hrlous epithets. but by facts and argu-
ments-the only weapons of gentlemen In
