Why the Price of Wheat Has Fallen.

The pretense that the low price of wheat is due to the imaginary demon etization of silver in 1878 has no basis in fact Wheat has not gone down be- cause less silver money is used, for we have now over $500, 900, GOO in silver coins or certificates as against less than $50, 900, 900 in 1873 So it is certain that 1t is not lack of silver currency which has reduced the price of wheat.
 A suggestion as to the real causes which have made wheat cheaper now than it was 23 years ago is found in the British board of trade statistics. These show that i'll 1894 the Argentine Repub- lie sent to Great Britain 22, 120, 253 bushels of wheat. In 1873 the Argen- tine was unknown as wheat exporting country, the first shipments to Great Britain having been made but little over ten years ago. Since that time the railway systems of the country have been greatly extended. Immense quan- titles of the latest and best agricultural implements and machinery have been imported, and large areas of very fertile land have been put under wheat culti- yation.
 During the same period the wheat crops of Russia and India have also been greatly increased It is these in- creased supplies from sources which formerly sent little or no wheat to the European markets which have gradu- ally forced down prices. Wheat is cheap because more is produced than is want ed. Free silver cannot stop the compe- tition of South American or Russian wheat, nor would it be the slightest benefit to the American farmer

If this government should open it's hints to coinage of the worlds silver at 1G to 1, we would go at once to silver monometallism This is the voice of all history emphasized by the present status of every free coinage country on the earth. We can no more have bimetal- lsm ill actual use and unlimited silver coinage than we can have q square, round object or dry, wet weather. Wherein would the people be benefited if they get double prices i'll half value money? If farmers products brought double prices, so would the manufactur- CTS. The benefits and advantages would be equal, except that buyers would al ways deduct enough to safely cover the fluctuations of silver, and this amount would be . dead loss to producers and premium to speeulators. l knew boy who sold a cur dog for $l00, but he took pay in pups at $20 apiece, so he was not materially benefited by the inflated prices.

The sympathy OF the whole state goes

which has been brought upon them by
great storm. Fortunately their loss of

proportion, perhaps, than Savannah. and
is less able to bear 1t. Young, ambitious
even too aspiring, Brunswick suffered
even more than her share of the misfor-

new misfortune comes at bad time for
her. That she will recover from it and

were, burden upon the eommun- ty. The Jewish inmates of the workhouse and almshouse can be counted on the fingers of ones hand any day. They are not paupers. Of the thousands who received help through the dreadful winter of two years ago, scarce a half dozen re- mained to be aided when work was again to be had for wages. The Jewish charities are supported with a generosity and managed with a success which Christians have good cause to envy. They are not run by boards of directors who stretch their legs under the table in the board room while they leave the ac- tual management of affairs to paid superintendents and officials. The Jew as a charity director directs. And he brings to the management of his trust the same qualities of business sagacity, of unerring judg- ment and practical common sense with which he runs his store on Broadway.

WOULD BE UNIQUE.

Japan Suggested as Arbitrator Between
 the United States and England.
 Henry Labouehere, England's gifted Radical, suggests that Japan would be the fairest arbitrator Great Britain and the United States could select for the Venezuela dispute. There is great deal of truth in this proposition. China might do almost as well, only there is a serious question whether even Li Hung Chang ever heard of Venezuela, and it would take too long to teach South American geography to his Celestial majesty of the Flowery Kingdom. Japan is civilized power, not yet too much mortgaged to England to see clearly the equities of the question to be settled.
 Great Britain and the United States are the two greatest Christian powers. Japan is a Buddhist power, having it's own form of Buddhism, to be sure, with the mikado as it's spiritual as well as temporal head. Great Britain and the United States are both practically re- publics. Japan is an absolute monarchy.
 Thus we should have tine singular spectacle of two Christian, self govern ing nations appealing to a Buddhist despot to help them keep the peace, to offer righteous solution of yexed problem and to prevent about 120, ,000, GOO good Christians from cutting one another's threats. This would be 8 unique event in the history of nations. New York Recorder

UNITING FOR SAFETY
NEW MOVEMENT FOR A LATIN-AMER
 lCAN UNION.

For the Purpose of opposin: Possible
 European Aggression Congress to Be
 Formed to Act as Arbitrator In Domes-
 tic and Foreign Disputes.
 A movement of great significance, looking to the unification of all the Lat in-American nations, has been begun in Salvador. It is started by political group, which has taken the name of the Parliamentary party, having primarily for it's object the substitution in Gen. tral America of the reign of parliamen- tary u9dies for the rule of despots called presidents.
 But this movement has a still broader aim, which is to bring about the insti tuition of a Latin-American congress, with delegates from Mexico and Central and South America, which shall be con voked whenever matters of continental interest are uppermost ill the public mind. This congress on it's first assem- bling shall choose diet which shall be permanent and shall act as arbitrator between all Latin American nations having questions at issue among them selves. The diet shall, whenever any Latin-Ameriean country is threatened by a European nation, institute gen. eral tariff war against the offending na- tion, barring out its goods.
 For example, all Latin America will be asked to cease importing from Eng land till she abandons her designs on Venezuelan territory. All Latin -Ameri- can countries are to be asked to combine to complete the Nicaragua canal, and so prevent other countries from having any ground for intervening in Central America on any pretext.
 The time has come, in the opinion of the organizers of this movement, for Latin America to present a solid and powerful front against the world.
 The designs of Europe, and especially of England, in this hemisphere, they say, are suspicious, and should the United States be crippled by war, South and Central America would be parti- toned among the European nations ex- aety as has been done with Africa. 1t is therefore necessary, they declare, for  Latin America not to depend on the en- forcement of the Monroe doctrine by the United States. which in time of trouble may be unable to compel obedience to it..
 A propaganda of this idea is being made throughout South and Central America, and an effort IS being also made in Mexico to awaken popular in- terest in it. There is no intention to bring about union with Spain, as un- der the old Iberian plan, for Spain is now regarded as the oppressor of the Cuban people, who will be asked to join this league in case they secure their in- dependence.
 It is purely a American move ment, and looks to the forming of a per manent confederation, each country in- dependent in local affairs, but consoli- dated with the others in any dealings with hostile countries on the other side of the Atlantic. New York World.
