to fall his body commenced to turn.

I heard his body strike the water"
Joseph Fabia an Italian laborer, liv-

desperate leap of both men from be-
meath the bridge He was standing
in front of his home when his attention
was attracted by Bergenkreuger's body
falling like shot. He says he did not
know it was man at first, but thought
likely it was a dummy" which some
one had thrown over as joke. Then,
he SAYS he saw the other man climb
over the railing above, and guessed
that the first body was that of hu-
man being. While he looked, he says
| the second man sprang out from the
| bridge, and fell downward with turn

struck the water with much louder
| splash than the first. Fabia could not
| see the surface of the water where the
bodies struck, and did not know wheth-
er they sank Immediately or not. He
gave the alarm, and several dwellers
of the flats went out in boats, but could

In the presidential campaign OF
1895 Mr.. Bryan and his friends in
sisted that the low price Of wheat
was due to the demonetization of
silver and the adoption Of the gold
standard. and that it could never
rise until silver was restored to the
coinage rights it enjoyed before the
crime of 1878 was perpetrated.
Silver is still demonetized and the
gold standard is still in vogue
but the price Of wheat, contrary to
free silverite theories, has gone up
and has actually touched the 81
mark. The Bryanites now take
another view. and give the credit
not to the gold standard, but to
Providence ard the iavariable law
Of supply aud demand. Tllt isjast
where the credit is due. The only
merit the gold standard people can
claim in the matter Is that they had
sense enough to see where the
credit belonged and proclaimed II
a year before the free silvertes dis
covered it.-Index Appeal.

The present condition of the
country is such as toplease the peo'
ple. The agricultural sections are
receiving better prices than they
have for years. If abundant har-
vests, good crops of all kinds and
improved prices will not bring
prosperity to a section like the
Shenandoah Valley what combina-
ton can make our people prosper
Gus? The price OF wheat has ad
vanced until one dollar is freely OIL
cred. The advance IN wheat is in
our opinion, caused by the law Of
supply and demand. Free silver
organs have recently embraced The
same opinion Last year, they con
tended that the low price of pro-
ducts was caused by the increased
purchasing power Of the gold dol
lar. This year they recognize the
influence Of the law of supply and
demand. We are glad they do
We like to see the free silver
journals get on the right side
some times. Would that there
were some power to keep them
there. But this is mo than we
can expect. They have undertaken
TO demonstrate to the people that a
dollar made of 40 cents worth o
silver is as good as a dollar made
of 100 cents worth Of gold. They
nrofess to believe that the gov
eminent stamp makes it as good
Thew profess to believe that it will
be lust as good when the govern
ment coins 40 cent dollars in un
limited quantities. Last year the
tact that two bushels of wheat sold
for a dollar was sufficient for then
to assert that the reason was De
cause gold dollar was worth
twice as much as a silver dollar.
This year when bushel of wheat
- worth one dollar in gold and a
gold dollar possesses the commercial
value of2I silver dollars, they say
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1897-08-27

it is on account OF the supply ana
the demand.
The truth is they are trying to
uphold a had cause. The arguments
that issued from their lips like
honeyed words last year wont do
this year. Stubborn facts disproye
their theories. The prosperity
that has dawned upon this fair land
and promises still greater results
in the future hasbursted their gaGze
theories. 1t has retired the
calamity bowler from the front and
he is now tryiog to Justify himself
by wearing the clothes and using
the arguments OF his opponents.
Prosperity and free silver will
not go together. The calamity
bowler cannot stop the advanc Of
prosperous times. The people
don't want free silver, when they
have prosperity. The farmer will
not complain of the purchasing
power ola gold dollar when his
wheat Is selling at sl.00 per bushel
| Last year we contended that we had
plenty of money. This year demon
strates the correctness Of our posi-
ton. the farmer can get plenty
Of money whenever he is willing to
sell his products. Whenever our
farmers have plenty Of money all
other classes feel the effect and we
have prosperity.
Weshould he grateful. If in
gratitude be a STA All ar people
he punished on ac."alt Of their
sins, we should shudder at the con
sequences. A kind Providence
has smiled upon US. We have every
thing which fertile lands aud sunshine
and rain can give us Why should
we not be grateful? Our products
bring to US an abundance Of money.
Shall we sulk and cry, because the
money which Our products brin 2
has too much purchasing power?
Shall we become dissatisfied and
ungrateful and demand that we
shall have cheaper money? Shall
we turn the gold over to Wall
Street and to the millionaires and de
mand that our farmers shall be paid
for their crops in cheaper money
money that has less purchasing
power, money that is current at
home and will not 90 abroad, be-
cause its quality is not 90 good?
Let those have cheap money that
want it. AS for ourselves, we want
good honest money and as much
of it as we can get.

Wheat touched the dollar mark
