WHEAT AND SILVER.

Sene Of our esteemed contempOrar
les, especially those that have loaned
themselves for the time being to the
purposes of that sterling and u0hjnch-
ing patriO5, Marcus a. Hanna, have
oeen going On in a name somewhat
gag in regard to the decline in silver
end the rise in the price of wheat.
They are making the most OF what
seems to them q serious hitch III one of
the arguments in behalf Of the restora-
tion OF silver-to Wit, thatsuch rertora-
ton will cause q rise in the price of
wheat and other staple commodities.
Bat the explanation lies IN the sur
face. The Daily Financial News, of
New York, not long ago called atten-
ton to the fact that the value Of Ar.
gentinian currency was rising as com
pared with the British pound sterling,
or, what is the same thing, that the
value Of gold was declining with re
spect to Argentiniaa currency. In
other words, the gold premium, meas
ured in the paper currency of Argen
tina, has declined from 400 to 200.
This means that the pound sterling
will not buy as many pesos, and, con
sequently, not as much wheat in Ar
gentina as formerly. With gold at a
premium Of 400 per cent. over pesos, a
pound sterling is equal to about twenty
pesos. Since the Financial News noted
the rise in the price Of pesos, gold has
declined with respect to them to 18O, go
that the pound sterling will now ex
change for less than ten pesos, or for
less than ten pesos worth of wheat, If
the currency of Argentina were at a
parity with gold, the pound sterling
would only have a purchasing power
OF five bushels of wheat.
But here is what Sir Robert Edge
comb, of London, says about the mat
ter, and we commend it to the atten-
tion of these who have misty ideas in
regard to the relation existing bet tween
the price Of wheat and the value of
silver:
The recent advance in the price of
wheat is due to the rise in the gold
value of the paper dollar in Buenos
Ayres. Wheat unlike most other com
modities, has been subject to a double
fall in price in recent years, one fall
caused by the altered value of silver,
as measured in gold, the other fall in
value proceeding from the still greater
depreciation of the Argentine paper
dollar as measured in gold.

no bank failures. The government is

DR.. George H. Raymond, of Aus
tralia, says:
Although capitalism rules In the
big island away down in the Pacific,
Australia has really more Democratic
institutions than the United States.
For instance, the governments OF the
various colonies own all their railroads
and also the telegraph and ~postofice.
"Once the government Of any coun-
try allows big syndicates and corpora
tions to develop the resources OF the
nation it is very serious and difficult
matter to curtail their privileges, and
the fact of private monopoly running
everything in this country is a grand
object lesson to the present politicians
in Australia.
although Australia can boast of
having the best climate in the world
and is richly endowed with some splen'
did soil and mineral elements for gen
eral natural resources, however, I
think the United States stands out par
excellence the greatest country on the
face of the globe. Let this great coun
inaugurate a system of good manaae-
ment, and it would be the happiest Ia
ton on the earth.
New Z9aland has honest and honor
able politicians, which Australia has
not, and this explains why New Z9a-
land is the happiest English speaking
country on the globe to day.

From 1885 to 1890 wheat sold for
about one dollar a bushel, and had
reached the limit of all, 80 far as silver
could affect it. Then came the Barring
collapse, which disorganiz9d finances
in the Argentine Republic and sent
their paper dollar down to Is cents in
gold. If the Argentine paper dollar
had only fallen to so cents gold, it
would have been upon a par with the
Indian rupee, as measured in gold,
and wheat would not have been affected.
But the fall to % cents, gold further
deprecated the price Of wheat, which
fell to IS cents the bushel. This enabled
the Argentine Republic to cut into the
Indian wheat trade at lower prices.
In 1892 India exported Sc. 600, 900
bushels OF wheat, and the Argentine
Republic exported IS 600. 600 bushels.
In 1894, owing to the deprecated Ar
gentine paper dollar, the two countries
had reversed positions. India export
ing only 10 900, 900, while the Argentine
Republic exported SO, 600, OC0,
The gradual fall in the premium on
gold at Buenos Ayres must raise the
value of wheat, and this rise will con-
tinue until the premium on the paper
dollar falls to 100, when it will stop.
After that point is reached the value
of wheat can rise no further, until
there is a rise in the gold value of silver.
Wheat and wool are the only com
modities of Importance affected by the
second fall in values, arising from the
depreciation of the Argentine paper
dollar.

AN LUXURY.

The British people keep an expensive
luxury, the royal family, all, like
queen bees, fed by the workers; mum.
erous children, grandchildren, etc =,
each drawing an income from the gov,
eminent for his or her support. We in
this country don't have a royal family.
But we have a telegraph monopoly to
which we contribute just about as
much each year as it takes to support
the British royal family, with all it's
branches, palaces, castles, etc. The
British have gotten rid of their teIe-
graph monopoly, and now they have q
government telegraph, which is q part
of their postal system, and operated
not for profit but at cost for the service
of the people. They would not think
OF going back to the private monopoly
plan. We would not think of having
a royal family in this country, but we
contribute the money just the same to
a family whose name begins with G..
Can you guess it, We don't contrib.
ute it in the form of annuities, as the
British people do; but as dividends on
watered stock, exorbitant charges for
kilograms, etc. The British royal fam
lily stays at home as a rule, and it's
members spend the money given them

DEVILS LAKE, N. D., Nov. Bob
Illingsworth, blind pigger and local
sport, was shot and instantly killed at
midnight by T. s. Cordner, city treas
urer and prominent business man of
this place. The difficulty grew out of
some dispute over money transaction
between the parties. Cordner was TAX
ing late supper with M. Schnicker, a
Grand Forks travelling man, when H.
lingsworth entered the restaurant
and assaulted him. They were
separated but Illingsworth again
assaulted him, knocking him through a
window. He then jumped upon Cord
ner and was striking him, when Cord
ner, while down, pulled pistol and
fred. The bullet entered Illingsworth' s
heart. One Delany, q brother-in-law
of Illingsworth, made two assaults
upon Cordner during the afternoon,
which accounts for the fact that the
latter was armed. Illingsworth struck
Cordner with billy, seriously cutting
his face. He was also badly injured by
the glass Of the window. Cordner at
once gave himself up and 10 now await
ing preliminary examination.

BERLIN, Nov. 3.-The Rsichsauzeiger
replies to Prince Bismarck's organ, the
Hamburger Nachrichten, on the latest
phase of the dispute concerning the dis
closures of the Russian. German treaty
of l884-90. saying:
THE question Of the period of time
required for secret diplomatic occur
rences to lose the character Of state &C..
crets, can only be decided by the states
men in Office, by virtue of their respon-
sibility and special knowledge of the
political situation Any deviation from
this principle would expose the coun-
try's foreign policy to surprises and
perturbation. and thereby endanger in
terests of state. If Germany gave an
unconditional promise to keep secret
the fact as we'll as the purport of the
negotiations with Russia before 1890,
the obligation Is still binding upon all
cognizant of the matter, and this con-
sideration also precludes the possibility
of discussing the essential NESTS Of the
negotiations"

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-The Associated
Press has reports from state chairmen
of both parties from nearly every state

men in most cases are not in accord,
neither party conceding the other a
victory except in a few cases. The New
England states are practically conceded
to Mckinley, as is also New York.
Neither is there any doubt as to the
victory of Bryan electors in most of the
Southern and far Western states.
South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi,
Georgia, Arkansas. Idaho, Florida,

Campaign Just Closed Has Been Most
Interesting One.
AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. 3.-The cam
paign just closed has been one Of the
most exciting in the history Of the
state for the reason that while tho
Democrats have been claiming the
state as safe all along the line the Re-
publicans and Populists, with the
assistance Of the gold Democrats, have
been making such an interesting fight
that it has kept the Democrats busy
beating the trush. The situation,
while it looks as though it was leaning
favo~ably to Democracy, is in such a
position as to be problematic. Popu-
lists hold the ialance of power and
whichever way they go will tell the
story and in their present chaotic con-
dition they are the uncertain quantity.
