THE PRODUCTION OF SILVER.

Mr. Carlisle SlyS that decentralization
is not the cause OF the fail i'll the value
OF silver rs compared with that OF gold
but that the real cause is enormous
oyer-production of silver On this point
but little need be said. The simple his
torical facts are that UP 10 the verS
day OF its Recommendations. the silver
dollar was at premium over TIE gold
dollar, and that for the year 1872 the
worlds production of silver was about
ST.. CO0,00O. while that of gold was
SG90C0.000. Still. just rs soon rs the
minis were closed To silver il began 10
dror Very naturally it would and it
cid. Later. there WAS large Increase
of silver production. No larger. how
ever, than the Increase OF gold between
ISIS and 1860. The simple difference
though. WAS this: When the great gold
discoveries were made. the French mint
remained open 10 Il III the rate of one
ounce OF gold 10 fifteen and onc-half q.
silver. and the ratio WAS maintained.
The large addition To the worlds
supply OF money made both gold and
silver cheaper tprices rOsel. bdt the
ratio was unbroken. because The French
mint held them together. When the
increase OF silver came. ii found 4 ve.y

WRITER WHEAT AND RYE,
The Farmers Review Receives Re-
ports from Ten States.

Reports have been received from the
correspondents of the Farmers Review
in ten States on the condition Of winter
wheat and winter rye.
In Illinois winter wheat is in fair shape,
but has been injured extensively by the
late thaw.ng and freezing wea ther The
percentage OF damage runs all the way
from > 10 30 Fortunately, there are not
many reports of the latter amount or near
it. \ Ike condition exists in Indiana.
In Ohio the loss is still greater, and the
present condition is below fair Mich-
gan reports great loss, but the condition.
taking the State rs a whole. is Il little
above fair. In Kentucky tx crop is il
n very uneven condition, some counties
having good prospects. but Others ex-
pecting little more than half crop. The
loss from freezing and thawing does not
seem 10 be much of a factor. Missouri
also has an uneven crop ut this time. and
the conditions have been various. Some
counties have 4 good start. and no freeZ-
ing and thawing has taken place. Other
countries have lost half of the present
stand from this cause alone. We may
summarize by saying that the loss for the
State has been considerable, and that
tie present conditions of the crop are
fair. In Kansas and Nebraska the crop
is in fair 10 good condition. Little loss
has been experienced from freezing and
thawing. in fact some of the correspond
cnts complain that they have not had as
much cold as they would like. In Iowa
there has been small loss on account of
recent changes Of weather. and the crop
i'm the State is in fair condition. In Wis
consin rhc crop is reported quite poor, and
the recent losses have been great
Winter rye is in much better condition
than wheat, and is generally reported ut
an average Of fair 10 good.
