MUNICIPAL BONDS.
Their SnIe Practically Destroyed by
Cheap Money ASitntiOn.

One immediate effect of the nomination
of Bryan, which is being felt more and more
daily as the silver agitation continues, Is the
marked falling off in the sale of municipal
bonds The weekly average sale OF these
bonds before the Chicago convention was
$2,32l 900 For the month from July 20 to
August 20 this average dropped to $SS2, ,499.
For the weeks that intervene before the
election in November ii is probable the sale
will cease practically until ii can be known
whether the party of reputation or that of
sound money is to conduct the government
for the next four years.
This feature of the depression caused by
the mere possibility of Bryans election is
particularly significant because these bonds
are essentially the bonds of the people. "
They are issued by the people in their cor
porate capacities and the proceeds expended
on municipa! improvements, thus reaching
the pockets of the laboring classes. AS the
bonds in most cases are regarded as emf
nently safe investments. they are bought
largely by managers OF trust funds and find
Judgement eventually in the vaults of saw
ings banks, which are the repositories also
of the savings OF the frugal labOrng men.
This form OF investment would be consid-
cred the last that would be affected by the
financial depression, but Ii too has felt now
the destructiyeness of the Bryan blight The
Daily and Weekly Bondbuyer of New York
has compiled a record OF the communities
that have suffered most severely In this way
during the month ending August 20, and it
is something amazing.
There are siXty-sx In the list whose bonds
were not sold either because there were no
bids or the bids were too small, and the total
amount thus offered was 11904, 45G. New
York City heads the list with a bond offer
OF nearly $4,000 900. These were supposed
to be gilt-edged investments. but all the
bids were so low the city officials were
forced TO reject them In Brooklyn mil
lion and one-half OF bonds offered received
no bids, and in eleven other cities Of the
state similar offers met with the same fate,
two in Connecticut, two in Massachusetts,
two In New Hampshire, nine in Ohio, six in
Michigan, four in Minnesota, six in Califor-
MIA and two In Illinois. This Is the way
the crusade OF Bryan "for the people" af-
feets the peoples most vital financial in
terests.

FEATURES OF HOPEFULNESS.

In an article on the money market
the New York Journal of Commerce
remarks that viewed apart from the
timid apprehensions excited by recent
political events, the present situation
must be conceded to present many dis
tinct features of hOpefulness. 1t notes
that London has ceased to return our
securities and its bankers are more will
ing to advance money on ordinary cur
rent enterprise than they have been.
Our people are practicing Il severe
economy, which means that we are buy
ing less abroad and reserving more for
export. The country is making fast
its financial difficulties, which is the
step next to remedy. SIT only remains"
says the Journal of Commerce. that
the sober Judgment of the nation shall
assert itself upon the dangerous issues
raised at the political conventions and
with clearing of the political atmos-
phere by the election of sound money
candidates there seems to be no reason
why the end of 1896 should not prove
to be the beginning of n. great recovery
of confidence and n general revival of
enterprise" This view of paper de-
voted entirely to financial and COM
mercal affairs is certainly reassuring,
but it is still to be apprehended that
the financial strain between now and
the day of election will grow in inten-
sity, unless. as now seems probable,
there should be n very marked subSi-
dence of the free silver craze. Unques-
tionably if republican success were now
absolutely assured revival of confidence
and enterprise would not wait until
the close of the year.

IOWA MARKET PRICES.
Average Price of Wheat at Dubuque
for Thirty Ycnrs.
Sioux City Tribune dem.)

Sioux city Tribune ,dem)
A pamphlet has been issued by George e.
Roberts which deals with the silver question
in relation to the Iowa farmer. The claim
of the siveTites is that gold has appreciated
to such an extent that farm crops do
not pay much over the cost of production
So far as the farmers are concerned the
whole case of the silverites rests upon this
one proposition. Mr.. Roberts has collected
statistics covering a period from 1861 to
1892 which show that almost every product
of the farm was worth in gold more in 1892
than in 1861. These market reports are COM
piled mostly from the columns of the
Dubuque Herald, the files of which are kept
in the state historical department at Des
Mones. The files of other state papers were
also consulted in order to verify the Herald's
figures. The tables given can be considered
as accurate as it is possible to get them.
We will give ono table which deals in the
market price OF wheat, its value in paper
currency and gold from 1861 to 1892:

the five years following its cotton eX-
port was below 100000 bales. In 1879
1t was only 641, ,45S bales. During the
five years ending with 1895 the cotton
export from India has been steadily
decreasing. In 1891 it was 1,02S,417
bales; in 1892, $4,000 bales; in 1898,
S57,771 bales; in 1894, T970T0 bales; in
1895, G25,0OO bales. In contrast with
this the United States exports of cotton
have been steadily increasing. In 1890
they amounted to 5,O2O,013 bales; in
1891, 5.S2O,779 bales; in 1892, 1891, All
bales; in 1893, 4,431 300 bales; in 1894,
539T, 800 bales; in 1895, 6,965,35S bales.
Thus it will be seen that the India
bugbear has no foundation, but has
been conjured up for political purposes
by Bryan, Harvey and all the apostles
of Silypr
