WHEAT AND SILVER.

Tho amazing foolishness Of the notion mat
prices of wheat throughout the world were
determined by the price Of silver has been long
sppreciated by men Of intelligence. but the
persistent falsehood that prices in silver had
not changed in slver-usng countries made II
seem plausible to the ignorant. Omcial RECORDS
disproving the assertion were all the time
available, and an abstract OF the official rec
ord of retail prices In many country markets
in India was given September IA. showing that
the fall in the purchasing power OF silver In
those markets from 1872 to 1892 had been IN
wheat 31.9 per cent, while the fall in siive:
compared with gold at London had been $40
per cent. The Indian figures for the last year
are not yet obtainable but the record as 1t
stands IL enough utterly TO refute the falsehood
that an unchanged price of wheat In silver
using countries has tended to force wheat
downward elsewhere. Never has there been
offered even the sembance OF any other reason
for believing that the fall in silver has made
wheat fall
But there are millions Of people who DO not
study records, and can be enlightened only by
their own experience. To such people the rise
In wheat this year comes as 4 revelation. Con

lieving that anything except the WORLDS sup
ply and demand, the cost OF production and the
cost Of TRANSPORTATION, can for any considerable
time control the markets for such product
wheat fell because there was more Of 1t than
tho world needed, and this country alone car
ried over July 1 about SOOOOYO0O bushels more
than the minimum quantity. Wheat rises be-
.ause there is not enough Of 1t, and consumers
ukrtoo xriil hQ q n consume cONSl0-
eratly less Contributing to the fall for years
was the enormous decrease in cost Of produc-
tiop. OF which 1t may be enough to say that the
work formerly done by many harvesters Is now
done by one machine which was reduced In
cost from $500 In 1880 to $115 in 1891, and In
the cost of transportation, which has been re.
d,sf.ed since 1873 as vas shown October IL.
7s6 DER cent by lake and canal and 63.3 per
cent by rail from Chicago. Men like Mr.. Bryan,
who do not wish nor try to know facts. fool
iehiy suppose that the voters Of this country
are equally willing to be ignorant, and to be
duped by falsehood.
The rise In wheat did not begin In this cOun-
try, nor has 1t been greatest here. The heavy
buyins on foreign account was noticed In July
and August, when exports were larger than
usual. and the rise In average prices OF British
wheat ut country markets began In August
and has continued ever since. The rise ut

THE VALUE OF FORESTS.

r. Jefferson Coolidge. formerly Minister to
France. and now treasurer OF the Amoskeag
Cotton Mills. OF Manchester \. H., has some
thing Of much interest TO say about the func-
ton Of forests In his last report to the stock
holders OF the company. The great freshcts OF
April, 1895, and March. 1896. inflicted ser-
Gus loss upon the mills on the Merrimac River;
and the latter caused a shutdown Of the mills
at Manchester for some time. throwing 5000
operatives out Of employment.
Now, probably not one OF those 5000 opera
tiyes had the least idea that their misfortune
and that Of the mills was even remotely due
to the cutting down Of forests around the head
waters Of the MerrImac. the Pemlgewasset and
other afIuents But Mr.. Coolidge says that
such Is the fact. and his explanation OF It
onght to be read by American citizens gener
ally, who as a rule. nre strangely Indifferent
to the useful service rendered by forests. lie
says:
The woods hold back the water and al
low IL to trcltle slowly Into the streams cut
down the woods. and the rain. running rap
idly over the surface or the ground. which
Is baked by the sun or frozen hard by the
winter cold pours all AT once into the streams.
turns them into roaring torrents. ard finds its
way all at once into the MerriE,ac. sweeping
everything before it, In few days the river
sinks rapidly, and becomes In time Of drOuth
an insignificant stream. Had the forests been
left no sudden discharge Of water would have
taken place and all through low water streams
would have trckied through the woods and
swollen the Merrimac when 1t was low.
This Is just what scientific students Of fores-
try have been saying for years. and what they
have been trying to impress upon State Legis-
latrros sometimes W tn very little success.
But Mr. Coolidge's presentation OF the matter
in formal business report Is especially fOrtu-
nate, because II shows how the reckless de-
struc.ion OF forests may bring serious finan-
cial loss on a great many people. The move
ment for the preservation and culture Of forests
is not merely an amiable fad as some other
wise intelligent people suppose. II is. in fact,
Of the most practical Importance TO the coun-
try at large whose welfare and prosperity 1t
will promote. Europe Is far ahead Of the
United States In this matter. and In nearly all
European countries forestry has become an
exact science. engaging the attention OF large

A POPOCRATIC VICTORY.

So there Is to be no Republican parade In
Chicago on the Saturday preceding election
The POpOcrats have drawn first blood IN their
contest for that town. They have driven their
opponents to give up their parade. and they
have done II by methods strictly In accord with
their platform and the teachings Of their lead
ers, Bryan, COxey and Aitgeld. Altged stands
I'd for the right OF Anarchists to throw bombs,
and pardOns those who are imprisoned for
bombthrowing. COXey leads an army to
Washington to Overawe Congress and make
demands upon IT, and declares ii hardship
that he and his followers should he compelled.
like other citizens, TO obey the usual police reg
uIations OF the capital. Bryan stands up and
tells people that there will be no signs keep
of the grass when he Is President. but thnt
armies and individuals shall have liberty TO
use or abuse public property ut their own
sweet will. unrestfained by ordinance or con-
stables The Popocrats Of Chicago have excel
lent authority for their cours, in stopping the
sound money parade. They are consistent OPP
popents Of tyranncal government, and, like
tEe courageous Anarchists they are take Timely
measures 10 carry out their theories without
waiting for them TO DC embodied into law after
Bry ans election. Indeed, II must be hateful
TO them to think Of the possibility Of having
even their own way by law rather than In spite
of it. and they are to be congratulated on get
ting it by threats of disorder.
The Republicans decided two weeks ago to
have a parade on October 81. and asked and
received from the Chief OF Police the usual
mImit to occupy certain streets at that time.
Subsequently the Popocrats applied for per-
nit to parade on the day following but the
idea Of a Sunday political procession, though
quite W .lcome to those Of Mr. organs followers
who regard him rs 1.-The Messiah" preach

| many of the silver men themselves that the
Sunday plan was abandoned. Then the p0po-
Gratis determined to march at the same time as
the Republicans. and through the same streets,
ignoring with the same largentss Of wind as
they ignore the laws of finance and trade the
law of nature which declares that no two bod
les can occupy the same space at the same
| time. They made demand on the Police De-
partment for permission TO parade at the same
time and place as the Republicans. The Chief
Of Police refused to give the permit, on the
ground that he had already authorized one pro-
cessien and that It woald b dangerous to pub
