1t Is only a fair statement Of self-evi-
dent truth to say that II the election
were to be held tomorrow Bryan and
his brood Of economic and political
heresies would be overwhelmingly re-
pudiated by the people.
1t may be asked, then, why continue
the fight? Why not let Popocracy ex-
pire in peace? To this question suf-
ficient answer is returned when atten-
tion is called to the fact that Bryan
and his few remaining colleagues in
the free silver movement have repeat
edly threatened If defeated this year to
continue the battle next year and the
next until their plans are eventually
consummated. The sound money con-
test of today is not only for the i'm
mediate safety Of the country; it is for
the rolling up of such an unmistakable
majority adverse to the Chicago plat
form that its present defenders will not
have the hardihood to rear again the
same or a similar standard. If the re-
suit next month should be such as to
give to Bryan and his followers the re-
motest encouragement: if though Nc
Kinley should be safely landed in the
white house there should be anything
whatever in the returns to inspire in
Popocratic minds the hope of a possi-
ble future triumph for their cause, 1t
would be only partial victory for Pro-
lection and sound money. and 1t would
be no sooner won than there would arise
renewed agitation and resumed dis
turbance of the business conditions Of
the country, calling for the continua-
ton of a fight already too long pro-
longed.
For these reasons, therefore, It Is es-
sential that every believer in an hon.
est currency and the chance to earn 1t
by honest toll should enter upon the
work of the concluding month Of the
campaign with the determination to
make each blow count. To an unsus-
pectedly large degree the welfare OF
the future. of the remote no less than
the immediate future, Is now at stake.
Under such circumstances it ill be-
hooves the opponent of Bryan to per-
nit sympathy for doomed enthusiast
to overmaster duty.

In 1881 we coined $50. $50 800 OF gold, and
during the three years 1ssO-s2, following re-
sumption, we coined an average OF $751;

During the three years previous to the
passage of the Sherman act We coined
only an average of S2i,420,GiO of gold. the
coinage in 1880 being little more than $2O-

During the three years after the Sher-
man act. however. we coined an average

coined s76,5&6160 Of gold.
The reports show that in 1881, when we
coined 200 of gold. we coined only
81, 600, 600 of silver; In 1890. when we coined

The Price of Wheat.

The silverites have based their cam
paign mainly upon the low price OF
wheat. They charge this low price to
the gold standard. 1t happens TO be
true that the decline in wheat quota
tions has been common to all countries,
to those having the gold standard and
to those having the silver standard;
but the siiverites pretend not to notice
this uniformity Of decline save when 1t
takes place In "the enemy's country"
They thereby escape the troublesome
task of having to explain why the de-
largements Of the worlds wheat acre
age and to improved and cheapened
harvesting and transporting facilities
rather than to the kind Of money used
in measuring exchanges.
But IL the silverites may employ the
price of wheat as an argument against
gold, Republicans may with equal i'm
punity also employ 1t as an argument
against free trade. The Statistical
Abstract for 1895 contains a table Civ
ing the production OF wheat, value Of
the crop, and the average price per
bushel, each year from 1872 to 1895.
The following are the facts concern
ing the last four administrations as in
dicated in this report:
Produc- Aver
tion in age
BUSH price per
Term. els. bushel.
Garfield, Arthur. .lSs1-S5 1,s2l.Sl6.7 .72O SO.yO15
Cleveland .......lSS5-89 1.6S6,5T.OO .76d25
Harrison ........lss9-93 2.0l7,55l. 900 1875

rison ........... .lS9O-93 1926 99l. 900 .767
Three years
Cleveland .....lsss-9s 1898, ,so2,Oss .5l2cG
These figures show the following i'm
portant facts: That during Garfield
and Arthur's administration the pro-
duction of wheat was 4.7S9.72O bushels
more than 1t was during Cleveland's;
the value of the crop was 1880, ,5S6,GS4
more; and the average price per bushel
was 14.135 cents more. The production
Of wheat during Harrison's admins
tration was 33L024,OO bushels more
than it was during Cleveland's; the
value Of the crop was 1927. 7.442,577 more;
yet the average price was only 1.G5
cents less per bushel. Again, during
the last three years of Harrisons ad-
ministration the production Of wheat
was 2O3,OSS,912 bushels more than it
was during the first three years of
Cleveland's present administration;
the value Of the crop was $493. 3.S45.s66
more. and the average price per bushel
was 25.434 cents more.
If this discrepancy in value Of pro-
duct between free trade and Protection
periods does not constitute a strong
argument in favor of the early restora-
tion of a conservative Protective tariff,
then we do not know what plain figures
mean.

That always interesting young man,
Richard Harding Davis, has taken oc-
casiOn to deny that since success has
come to him as an author of fiction he
has tried to draw away from the recOl-
lectiOns of his early days as a news
paper reporter. He also enters a Wig
orous disclaimer to the numerous stor-
les current in print which represent
him as always saying or doing some
caddish or snobbish thing. Just why
he should be specially marked for pur-
suit by the satirists Of the press or
singled out for immolation on the al
tar of false representation he cannot
understands: but perhaps 1t is only
one form of tribute to his success. No
man ever amounted to anything in this
world without having as a price of his
eminence, to serve as a target for de-
traction by the envious.

Here is laucnu Taxing treatment for
CaIarrh OF the Head. He breathes the
soothing medication through his nostrils,
and Jne nasal channels open up, the stuff
cd-up feeling in the head leaves, and he
can breathe naturally through the nose
again. The dull pains across the front OF
the head fade away, and the nasal mem
brane is soothed until the Inflammation
and soreness are all gone. The bad odor
Of the breath passes away, and the lost
sense of smell returns. The dropping in
the throat is checked, the nose does not
stop up toward night any n ore, the
sneezing and snuffing have ceased, and
the discharge from the nose grows less
and less, and finally stops altogether. The
disease has been checked and eradicated
from the system before 1t even reached
his throat. 1t had not been driven down
