ADVICE TO ENGLISH FARMERS

London. England. October o.
The Mark Lane Express today says:
The rise in wheat is warranted by the
situation. 1t is not speculative. On
the contrary, a speculative bear raid
is on foot. The English crop, which
certainly does not exceed 7,250,000
quarters,is stated to be 100000 and
there are other signs that outside in
fluence is directed to accomplish a re-
action. Continuing, the Mark Lane
Express urges English farmers not to
rush to the wheat market, stating that
American and Russian farmers are
strong holders. owing to both crops
being smaller than in 1895.

 II is were known by the public that lap was about to pass congress or that as she era q 9 given time law would fssSs aushor5z5ng what the free silver a.g8saaors are e3auoring for, all the gold aszanex waa1a disappear from circula- lion like a lash. Al the silver dollars and ths paper currency would drop to | discount q : or 10 per cent. within week. and she tumble would continue from day to dax- until the silver dollars would speedily be worth no more in gold than the selling value of the silver bullion of which they are composed, as 5s the case za Mexico. The bullion Fa1ue of the silver dollar Of the United States now Is but triae more than 54 cents. Il soon would be worth much less than that under the prospect of a huge increase in the production of sil- yer if free coinage at 16 to l were re- solved on by law. It could not be carried into effect. as no ono would have gold coined at that ratio. Those of the free silver agitators who have any sense are well aware that such would be the re- suit, and they agitate for free coinage in the expectation it would bring about just that state of things.
 Some of the silver miners of the noun tain states think the 16 to1 free silver decline would not be sudden but grad ual. and that before the collapse to the bullion value occurred they could sell out their mines. the lean as well as the fat ones, thus raking in fortunes and retiring from the business with pockets full of gold. That is the powerful in- eentiye which urges them to agitate in and out of congress for the passage of bill authorizing the free coinage of silver at what they know would be an impracticable ratio. They have no idea of being able to get double the bullion value of their silver by sending it to the mint.-Chieago Tribune.

GOLD GALORE.

An Empty Argument of Cheap Money
 Fanatics.
 Just as the advocates of a silver standard were beginning to ask where the gold necessary for the transaction of the worlds business was to be ob- tained and as the struggle among the nations of the world to increase their scanty hoards of the precious metal be- came most intense, Dame Nature came to the rescue. As is well known, there has been a marked increase in produc- tion during the past six or seven years. How great this increase has been, with its causes and effects, is set forth enter tainipgly by Carl Snyder in the Febru- ary Review of Reviews.
 The annual production of gold in 1887 was but S106, ,0oo, ,oo0. During the three succeeding years it had increased to only S113,0oo,0O0 Since then the ip-. crease has been rapid, until last year it rose to the enormous aggregate of S203,- o00,0oo, surpassing all previous records known to history. Even in the bonanza the records for the single year of 1895 equaled the entire product of any two decades down to 1s40.
 More important is the fact that there is no appearance Of check in the out put. Mining experts believe the flood will continue to increase at the same ra- tio, as the conditions are not tempo rary, but permanent. During the last five years the increase has been 12 per cent. each year. Should the increase continue at the rate of ten per cent. the production in 1899 would be S320,00o,- obs, Q yield of about 1900, 100000 for

How they had loved him and petted him. this Edward-this long wished-for child who had come after ten years of married life, when they had almost given up hoping for a son. The happy Bourgueil, then only a sim pie builder, had rubbed his hands, say ing to his wife; You know, Clemenee, that smart fellow Haussmann is i'm proving and changing the whole city of Paris from one end to another.

 All Bourgueirs ambitions had been realized.
