To the Editor of the Press:
Taking Into account the Democratic
Populist convention at Chicago, Its COM
position and membership, Its rowdyish
riotous proceedings we are warranted
In saying it will go down in history as
the most unpatriotio, disgraoeful political
convention ever held in this country.
Taking into account William ]. Bry-
an, his p asst comparative obscurity, his
inexperience in public affairs, the way
and manner he procured his nomination.
his Endorsement of platform antaRonIs-
tic to the constitution of our common
country and It's laws, the speeches he
has made and Is making, showing his
ignorance of American politics and ques-
tions of finance and studied attempt
to deceive and defraud his hearers and
arouse the prejudice of one class of cfti-
zens against another, repeat, in view of
all these circumstances, I think every
unpreludiced, fair-minded person must
admit that he is the cheapest specimen
OF man that has ever appeared upon
the public stage as a candidate for Presi-
dent of the United States.
Thus far he has not exhibited single
trace OF the elements Of character that

A letter, which we publish elsewhere,
written by man for many years con-
nected with the department of agricul-
ture throws good deal Of light upon the
fall IL the price of wheat which the free
silYerites make the basis of their claim
that gold has been appreciating since the
act of 1873 The letter shows clearly
enough that the average price of wheat
for five years succeeding 1878 was higher
than the average price for the same
period before that date. 1t shows clearly
enough to any unprecedented mind that
theafall whom it did come was due to the
increased prohibition of this and foreign
countries, notably, India and the Areen-
tine Republic. 1t shows also that the
claim OF thu silver men that wheat and
silver have kept falling together is un-
true, the fact being that in one period
OF five years succeeding 1873 wheat act
uaily went up when silver was going
down. In fact the letter pretty thor
roughly disnoses Of every one of the claims
OF the silver men with regard to the fall
OF wheat and its cause.
