Club Of Minneapolis) at the Bryan demonstra-
tions In st. Paul on Saturday evening, claim
ing that we were treated much better here
than there. That we were nearly all of us
barred out Of the Auditorium in st. Paul,
but that we all got into the Exposition hall
and had seats on Monday evening. The facts
in the case are these: Our veteran club ar
rived at St. Paul late. and the Auditorium
was full to overlooking. A few Of our club
optained admission, but the most of us
could not on account of the crowd though a
score OF St. Paul policemen, with sweating
faces, worked hard to get us in. Your peo-
pie did all they could in our behalf, and no
member Of this club finds any fault with st.
Paul folks because we could not obtain ad-
mission and seats.
On Monday evening here our club had 2C5
veterans in line, and escorted Mr.. Bryan

reserved for us, and we had ten men detailed

AN EXCELLENT APPOINTMENT.

The long delay in appointing a sue
cessor to Mr.. Castle as postmaster at
st. Paul was ended yesterday, when
the president named ex-Mayor Robert
A. Smith for the place. 1t was worth
while. perhaps, that the delay should
have occurred, arising out Of the eager
struggle of many candidates for so de-
sirable place, since 1t ended in an ap-
pointment which will ne peculiarly sat
isfactory to all our people. It is for
this purpose that the president and
the postmaster general hive 20 long
held aloof from final action; in cl der
that they might It the same tim. Sc
cure the man from whom they could
expect high efficiency in the discharge
of his official duties, and also consult
the wishes of The 1emocrati., pa1ty
and of the business oublic IF the city
without regard to party Thy have
made no mistake in their icy or
their selection of a man to fill a most
important federal position
1t is not necessary for us to commend
Mayor Smith to the people of a COM
munity where he has lived so long and
received so many public honors. He
possesses all the requisite qualifications
for the position that has been con-
ferred upon him. He is a Democrat
of high and ancient party standing He
has not accepted the gospel Of Pop
ulism, but stands by the tried and ira
ditional principles of the party, and
has been doing effective work in as
SlSting the canvass of the National
Democrats. He is a man of great
public popularity, and it would be
difficult to name any citizen whose ad-
vancement would give as general salts
faction or awaken as little envy or
criticism. He is a man of business
training and habits, thoroughly fa-
miliar with the methods and REQUIRE
ments Of the public service, and the
efficiency Of the department will suffer
nothing in the transfer to his hands.
1t will be easily evident to all the peo-
pie that, although there were many
candidates whose claims were worthy
of serious consideration, there was
none who combined as many Of the
qualifications as Mayor Smith, and
none whose appointment would have
given equal satisfaction, either to the
local Democracy or to the general pub
lie of st. Paul. It is due to, the author
tiles at Washington to say that they
have given most careful thought to
this appointment, in order to ensure
the selection Of the best man. They
nave consulted only the good Of the
service and the wishes of the people
themselves, determined to make no err
ror and to act only when and as the
public interest might direct They have
made what we are sure is in the peo-
pies opinion, as it Is in ours, the best
appointment open to them; and we
congratulate them upon their decision.
and the people of the city upon the
selection Of a postmaster who is as ac-
ceptable to them as a whole as he will
be faithful and efficient in the dis
charge of his duties.

WHAT SENT WHEAT UPs

1t is somewhat awkward, when
fellow is trying to convince the voters
that the decrease In the price, say, of
wheat is merely sympathetic decline
with silver. to have silver go down a
few cents an ounce and wheat go up
13 cents a bushel simultaneously. And
so, as might be expected, the people
who account for everything by silver,
try to find some reason for this diverse
and wholly unorthodox movement of
the two commodities. We have a vari-a
egated assortment of causes that indi-a
Gates a painful confusion among the
expounders. One has it that Mark
Hanna has put five millions into wheat
so as to break down the silver move
ment by making farmers happy and
contented. Another recondite fellow
finds it in the fall in the premium on
gold in Argentine, while Chairman
Jones' is reported as attributing it to
the victories his party has won in
Arkansas and other Southern states.
A little news item that came over
the wires from San Francisco last week
is a more trustworthy and reasonable
explanation why wheat went up and
possibly, why silver went down. 1t
stated that two ships had cleared from
that port laden with wheat consigned
to India, and that others were to fol-
low. The explanation of this carrying
of coal to Newcastle, this sending
wheat to a country that has been an
exporter for nearly ten years, is that
drouths have brought on a crop fail
ure in the table lands Of India, and
that the Punjaub will not have enough
wheat to bread itself, let alone the peo-
pie of the lower country. This means
large loss in the supply at terminal
markets, and, as we see, counter
demand on primary markets. This is
sufficient to account not only for the
rise but for a much larger one But
so simple an explanation Is not to be
thought of by politicians until, after
the election.

/ have selected, first, the years of the
marvellous yield from the mines Of
Potosi, about 1900, when Europe was
flooded with the silver of the New
World; but even that fabulous era
turned out only about 1-13 as much
per year as do the silver mines of the
present time. And today the annual
production of silver is about six times
as great as the phenomenal output
from the Mexican mines from 1880 to
1910. Yet in these two extraordinary
periods of the past SO much silver was
added to the world as to produce
tremendous changes in its value; in
deed, economic history is full Of it.
Coming to recent years, when the act
of 1873 was passed, silver mines were
turning out three times as much as
in the best days Of the Mexican mines
17S0-1810). That product was up to
that time Q87O unequaled nothing
like it had ever occurred in the history
of silver. No wonder silver owners
wanted the United States to buy some
OF 1t and store it away out OF the mark
ct. But the production of silver has
gone on steadily growing; what was
marvellous in 1878 has been more than
doubled in 1894, and today the produc-
tion of silver has reached a figure un-
dreamed of twenty years ago. These
are grave and important facts in the
silver question; they are not opinions"
or beliefs" What If the annual pro-
duction of any other article had been
similarly increased. Does anyone sup
pose It's price would not have been
cheapened?
Now that there has been this
phenomenal increase in the production
of silver, what has been the movement
OF demand? To maintain it's value,
the demand for silver should have in
or sod
Has that followed? No. Instead of In
creasing. the demand for silver has
fallen off during the very period when
the mines were yielding such great
new supplies. No one disputes the fact
OF this diminished demand; it has been
the burden Of silver discussion for
twenty years And the reason of it ia
not far to seek.
About 1850, generally speaking, the
mints Of the world Except in Great
Britain and some minor states) were
open to both gold and silver. Free
choice between gold and silver was
offered to commercial countries Up
to this time silver had been largely in
use But in 1850 began the most re-
markable gold production known in
history resulting in the fresh supply OF
$4,000, 100000 of gold in addition
to what then existed. This new gold
was at the disposal Of the great com
mercial states; in the evolution of the
fittest medium Of exchange and
standard Of value, it turns out that
these states chose gold and gave UP
their silver. Gold was adopted instead
of silver for the same general reasons
which led to the substitution Of cleo
trio cars for horse cars. 1t is as silly
to talk about the equal rights Of
silver to those of gold, as to talk about
horses having equal rights with cleo
tricity. If horses can do the work as
well and as cheaply as electricity then
horses will not be in need of any
rights" So Of silver: it was dropped
solely because what the commercial
world believes to be better medium
had lately been added In enormous
quantities, and that had enabled the
great. states to adopt gold necessitat-
