that wheat would 60 lower under
the gold standard, and that the
condition of the farmer would con.
tin ually grow worse. Whether
Republican victory has aided or
retarded the present movement in
increased prices for farm products
can be wrangled over as much as

were entirely false. Bryan and

Substantially none of the present

that 1000, 900 bushels are being

are absolutely exhausted. The
present rise means $40, 000,0 900
extra for the farmers of these

is not as high as the legitimate
situation warrants. The big

The Brainerd Journal plainly
states its ideas as to the 'hand- in.
hand" price Of silver and wheat,
and demonstrates, in real Journal
style, that when there was free
silver coinage in India the price of
wheat and silver changed together.
But after free coinage was stopped
in India, the price of wheat in the
United States went lower that it
had before. India didn't have free
silver coinage in 1896 when the
Popocrats were preaching that
silver and wheat would positively
advance and decrease in price to.
gether. A bushel of wheat will
now buy twice as much silver as
it would year ago when the
farmers were being told that non.
sense by Bryan and Towne. All
the old theories on earth cannot
conceal the fact that one of the
leading free silver arguments was
entirely false. Very few sllYerites
now attempt to defend the old,
exploded fakes Of last year.

THE DROP IN SILVER.

Duluth News-Trlbune: we
arc likely to see dollar wheat, and
we may see twenty-five cents
silver, but it is to be hoped that
the latter commodity will pause
ere long in its descent and work
up to respectable position. 1t is
not pleasant to look at a silver
dollar and realize that only the
stamp of the government prevents
it from becoming less valuable
every day. The Bryanesque
theory that silver and wheat have
something in common has been
punctured, but we can discover no
real cause for satisfaction in the
daily report that bar silver has
dropped noint or fraction of a
point. No further decline is
needed to point moral or adorn a
tale. The free coinage of silver
at the ratio Of 16 to ! is q defunct
proposition. " ..'

A short time ago telegram from
Wichita, Kan, claiming than an
Indian had purchased $500 worth OF
goods at Perry and paid for them in
gold nuggets, appeared in many Of
tile daily papers throughout the
country. A citizen of this place did
not believe the report and wrote to
the mayor of Perry for Information
in regard to 1t. The mayor replied
that he had heard. of no Indian hav.
ing gold nuggets, but the "palefaces''
in that locality had gold mines in
every quarter section of land. The
nuggets found were the size OF q

OF the threshing machines. Those
were all the gold nuggets he had

The reliable Washington CORE
spondent of the Minneapolis

the rejection of an English offer

securities to American buyers.

Farm products of nearly all kinds

than double; cattle, hogs,
oats and other farm products are
selling at better prices. The

turn buy more goods than they
