with which to prosecute the contest.

The introduction of eggs, and those of
unsavory character, is a new feature in
campaign work. This new method was
first tried on Secretary Carlisle, at Gov
ington, Kentucky and again on Candidate
Bryan, in Chicago, this week. The latter
attempt, however, it has been proven,
was but silly attempt Of daring boy,
and Mr.. Bryan with true manliness, asked
that he be not punished. ALI such acts,
however, deserve the severe condemnation
of all parties, and are being so treated.
Sad will be the day when free speech
can no longer be tolerated in this country.

Do You Want 16 Cent Breadq

Circulars addressed "To the Mistress
of the House" have been sent out by
thousands by the Wage Farmers Patri-
otto league. They are headed, "Does
Your Market Basket Hold Too Much?"
and this is an extract:

consequently get five times as many OF
them, as that by selling for silver dol
lars, two of which make gold dollar,
they could make profit.
All expenses Of living would mean
time have doubled, and as these advance
faster than labor or real estate (Which
always rise last of all commodities),
even after work was found, wages would
not buy as much as they do today.
Hence, after severe suffering in the start
and after low wages and high prices for
many years, the laborer would be no bet
ter off in the end.
And how would the farmer be bene-
flied if, starting in debt, he had in the
process lost his farm?
Mr.. Bryan claims it is inconsistent
to say that free silver coinage will cause
disaster, and also that it will double
prices.
But little reflection will show that
first we would have a panic, which he
admits, and afterward prices would be
doubled Tin silver.
In this great disaster capitalists could
save themselves by buying exchange or
foreclosing. The hardships and misery
would fall upon the laborer and t.iose
in debt-that is, upon the mass of our
people-and make the rich richer and
the poor poorer.
Crime and lawlessness would neces-
sarily increase.
Instead of more money, which Mr..
Bryan promised us, we have seen that
his election means money famine for
year and more, and instead of 'pros-
perity for the producers Of wealth"
there would be but losses, hardships
and suffering.
In view of these inevitable and
many of them conceded cOnse-
quences of Mr.. Bryan's election,
is it wise to vote for him?

WHY WHEAT IS UP.
BECAUSE OF REDUCED SUPPLY AND
INCREASED DEMAND.

Statistics of Exports Explain the Rapid
Rise-Not at All Due to "GoIdbue
Conspiracy"
In 1891 the wheat harvests of Europe
were extraordinarily bad, and as our
crop was the largest we ever harvested
we had an enormous export. But since
then our exports have been steadily di-
minishing, from 225, 900, 900 bushels in
1912 to 1876, 900, 900 bushels in 1856
During this period of decreased demand
for our wheat the Argentine Republic
came to the front as an exporter, and
the price of wheat naturally enough
tended downward. Beerbohm, one of
the highest authorities upon the wheat
market, computes that the world s wheat
crop averaged 262, 900, 900 quarters, of
eight bushels, for the four years 1885,
279, 600, 900 for the four years 1S87-90
and 304, 000,0 900 quarters for the four
years 1914. The estimated increase in
the demand for wheat for food is 3, 900,
900 quarters year, and in eight years
the supply increased not 10000, 900
quarters, but AZ, 800, 900 quarters. That
the price should fall was inevitable.
But the worlds available supply Of
wheat on July 1, according to Brad
streets, was 1000, 900 bushels less than
it was one year before, and the worlds
crop for this year is estimated by the
Liverpool Corn Trade News at 80, 000,-
900 bushels less than last year. This
makes the supply 115, 900, 900 bushels
less than the supply year ago. The es-
innate of this years crop is 50, 900, 900
bushels less than the average crop for
the four years 1914. The normal in
crease of demand due to increase of pop
ulation since the middle or average
point in that four year period would be
about IS, 900, 600 bushels The condi-
tions are very favorable, therefore, for
an advance in price. This advance, due
to the buying of American grain for
Europe, began very slowly. AS the pur-
chases increased the price rose faster.
When American wheat was shipped to
Australia and India, both of which are
accustomed to export wheat, the price
jumped suddenly. Vessel room for out
going wheat was well engaged ear1x in
the season, and only when it beea1ne
evident that Europe had got to buy \
we could sell and had already engage
the ships to carry it to her did the price!
here rise rapidly. (

Mckinley and Hobart will make
clean sweep of the country. The Neao
York Herald has made careful canvass
all over this nation, and the result is
wonderfully satisfactory to the people
who want to see prosperity. For many
years the Herald has made this prelim-
mary forecast of the result of Presidential
elections and has never made a mistake.
For instance, it predicted from similar
canvass the election of Cleveland in 1884,
the election of Harrison in 1888 and the
election of Cleveland in 1892. The Herald
canvass this year has been the most
thorough and systematic ever made by
that journal. 10 its introduction the
Herald says "After careful canvass of
every State in the United States we pre-.
dict that William Mckinley, of Canton.
Ohio, will be elected President on Nov.
ember 8 by large majority of the
electoral college,"

Here is an increase of about one-half.
To be exact, it was little more over
the export of wheat and flour for the
corresponding three months and three
weeks of 1895. Vessels to carry grain
have been chartered both OH the Atlantic
and the Pacific coasts for dates as far
ahead as next April, and this proves
how preposterous is the pretense OF the
silverites that the advance in wheat Is

it could be consumed. Coinage laws

with either movement of wheat.
