The United States Tobacco Journal un-
hesitat;ngiy attributes the great decrease
In the annual production of cigars to the
popularity Of the bicycle. 1, prints fig
ures 10 prove that az least $500 men
have taken TO wheeling with such rest
that each CT them smokes four cigars
& day fewer than formerly. OF course
such statistics are merely faHcttul and
there are other reasons than the growth
OF bicycling to partly account for the
falling OF IN the demand for cigars. The

WHEAT AND SILVER.
United STATES Investor.


The noteworthy thing about the rise in
wheat Is that it has been unaccompanied by
an advance in silver. These two commod tiles
are supposed by some persons to bear marked
resemblance to the Siamese twins. But it
seems that during the last few weeks the one
has abandoned the other in most shameless
fashion. We find wheat advancing about 13
cents a bushel since September l, while silver
has had hard work to keep itself on level
with the then price (6613 cents. We shall
have TO go back to 1892 to find prices for
wheat in October at all comparable to those
quoted since the beginning of the present
month, and when we get back to 1892 we
find that the average price of silver for
the year was over 81 cents per ounce, the
minimum quotation for that period being over
rs cents. With October quotations on wheat
SO far about on level with ths Sc of October
1892, we note heavy falling off in the price
OF silver. An explanation from the free
silver faction of the advance In wheat is
awaited with interest The answer may be
that peculiar conditions have intervened
this year to counteract the usual tendency
to q union on the part of wheat and silver-a
short crop abroad and manipulation at home
for instance. But If this is the plea of the sill
yerites is it not incumbent upon them 10 show
beyond all question that all the phenomena
witnessed in connection with wheat and silver
since 1873 have not in like manner been due
tc peculiar conditions?
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-22
CALLED DOWN.
Window.

Senator Jones, chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, has been most
emphatically called down. His recent
manifesto charging the employers OF labor
with having attempted to coerce working
men into voting the Republican ticket has
been challenged By Mr.. Hanna. The chal-
lenge is direct, terse and forcible. 1t calls
upon Senator Jones to furnish proof of
the truth of his charges under penalty of
being discredited before the country.
The aggressive portion of Mr.. Hanna s
reply is EN- bodied in the words: ITO CO.
cree voter is crime against the laws OF
the land, and if Messrs. Bryan and Jones
know of any coercing they make them
selves accomplices OF the crime by not in
forming the proper authorities and taking
