Markets for the week ending Decent be r
esth. reported by Chas. E. Lewis Co, Grain
Commission and Stock Brokers.
Wheat-The market for wheat has
been strong but rather Inactive, but
this is to be expected with the num-
Der Of holidays during the ten days
commencing Dec. oath. Traders have
been evening up their trades and the
situation Is strong for higher prices.
wheat for export and also options be-
fore Christmas, and have taken a lit
tie since then. The short interest Is
not as large as 1t was couple of
weeks ago, but it is still large enough
to cause sharp advance In case any
very bullish news turns up to boost
the market. On any break we con-
tinue to advise purchases OF wheat
and sell on bulge Of couple OF cents
or so. The market at present is more
of scalping nature and more money
can be made than by buying and hold
ing for higher prices, which will sure
ly come later on by scalping the mar
ket just at present.
Corn and oats-There Is nothing
new to say regarding the market for
these grains: what we have said dur
ing the past three or four weeks on
corn and oats still holds good. The
lack of speculation is the only thing
that keeps them from advancing.
Pork-Pork is dull but holds firm,
with little prospect Of going far either
way just at present, as it Is too low to
sell short ard traders do not care to
buy any at present on account of the
dullness. May pork at present prices
should pay handsome profit during
the next month or SO if any specula-
tion sets in. The short interest Is
rather large and shorts should run
quickly on any sign Of strength in pro-
visions.

Does Congressman Hender-
son think that it was right for
the government, after pledging
itself to pay both the bond
holders and the gunholders in
the same kind of money, to pay
the one in greenbacks and the
other in gold, especially when
the bondholders bought his
bonds with greenbacks by his
own action, and for that purpose,
deprecated to 40 cents?. The
soldier contracted for $13 per
month in gold and was paid the
equivalent of $500. The bond
holder bought the bonds for
the equivalent of 40 cents in
gold and has been paid 100
cents. And yet you call that
Justice to the soldiers!

You ask for work when really
you want the results of work.
No matter how much of these
things your labor creates, you
get little or none of them, You
are satisfied with the crumbs
from the banquet you prepare
for others, and vote to be hire
lings for your masters. Your
labor builds railroads and then
you beg to be allowed to work
them, in the hope of getting a
few crumbs. You do all things,
create all things, enjoy none of
them and then whine and beg
of the idlers and bribers and
tyrants whom you have allowed
to take possession of these
things, to be permitted to make
more. If you will do some
thinking for yourselves, you
will then be able to do some
voting for yourselves, and not
he whining for work to make
others rich, but will be able to
have work that will make you
rich.

Organized labor is past the

the result will be the 1oosening

If the first $6o,0oo,0oo paper
money issued by the Lincoln
government didn't depreciate
as compared with gold simply
because they were made re-
ceivable in payment of all
duties to the government, is it
not reasonable to suppose that
the greenbacks would not have
deprecated either if they had
been granted the same right?
And if the greenbacks had not
deprecated as compared with
gold, where would have been
the necessity of issuing bonds?
And as four fifth of the bonds
were not issued until after the
war was over, what was the
necessity of issuing them at all?
Now my gold buy friend, an
swer these questions, and don't
lie about them, either.

ButterwOrth

Mr.. Butterworth said it
wasn't more money we needed,
but better circulation. The
only thing that will produce
better circulation will be to
stop contraction. Increase the
volume of money, and accord
ing to long accepted authority
on political economy for the
last hundred years, money will
come out ofits hiding place and
begin to compete for chance
to engage in production. And
the cause of this is so plain
that even a fool can't miss it.
Under a decreasing volume of
money, the ratio of money to
property increases; under an
expanding volume of money it
is the ratio of property to the
dollar that increases. All men
love a profit, and when prop
erty is going up money comes
from it's hiding place; when
going down money seeks re-
tirement. Free coinage of sill
yer means more money. And
more money will bring the hid
ing boards into circulation.

Silver i'm Europe.

Silver in Europe.
The gold bug crowd tell us
that we must wait for an inter-
national agreement for therestor-
alton of silver. Europe, how
ever, they have bound hand and
foot. There is not govern
ment on that continent that
dares take the initiative. But the
industries there are looking anx-
iously to the United States to re-
deem them from their bondage
to Shylock. That there is a
powerful sentiment in Europe
for silver the following letter is
indisputable proof. It proves
also that, while gold buggery
has a death grip on the people
of that country, if free coinage
wins here the gold standard
there Immediately will have to
fight for it's life. It also shows
that it is not the industries of
the silver countries, but those of
the gold countries, that are
plundered by the premium of
gold.
