men there are urging steps looking to the
adoption Of the gold standard.
Mr.. Bryan is so busy studying Spanish
| that he has not had time to explain the
advance In the price of wheat.
Ex-Candidate Bryan, in an article in the
New York World, says: Those who
favored free coinage may be wrong" Can
| it be possible, Mr.. Bryan?
The advance in the price OF wool and
sheep will soon bring back to the farmers
| the 80 million dollars loss in the value OF
sheep which befell them under the Wilson
law.
! The more the coal strike is studied the
more apparent it becomes that the reduc-

II anybody croaks about the light re-
cepts in the first month Of the Dngley
| law, remind him OF the enormous importa-

actment.
Did Mr.. Bryan demand that 1900 he
is to get for his Ohio speech in gold coin
Of present standard weight and fneness"?
! That is the habit Of his masters; why not
! Bryan, too?
The farmers are too busy to listen to
free silver speeches now That species of
pastme may do for free trade times like
those Of the past three years, but not un-
der protection.
1t now takes two ounces OF fine silver
to pay for bushe Of wheat. One year
ago one ounce of silver was equivalent in
the markets Of the world to just about one
bushel of wheat.
"Comrade Mckinley" was cordially
| greeted by the old soldiers at Buffalo. He
| is the first President who served in the
ranks as a private soldier and will proba-
bly, be the only one.
Why don't Professor Debs and his as
sociates call on the trainers OF the Will
son law to help out the miners? 1t was
clearly the reduction OF the tariff that
caused the reduction in the miners wages.
Oh, 10y the way. have the Ohio and Iowa
and Maryland and Kentucky and Ne
braska and New Jersey and New York
Democrats forgotten about the tariff?
They seem to be strangely silent on the
subject.
Advices from abroad show that the for
eign rye crop is as badly off as the wheat
crop, and as rye is largely used for bread
indicates a still greater demand for Amer-
lean wheat.
The calamity shriekers of last year have
not told the farmers yet how it is that
wool and wheat have advanced 30 per
cent in price since their shrieRs of last
year while silver has meantime industri-
ously fallen % per cent.
The British goldbugs again have the
American farmer by the throat. This time
! it is in the shape Of 100000 English SOW
eregns, or over S20O0,000 coming into
! San Francisco from Australia in ex-
| change for American wheat.
With an increase of 30 per cent in the
value Of wheat in the past year, and fall
| OF p per cent in the value of silver mean-
! time, the gentlemen who were exploiting
the wheat and silver theory last year are
now seeking for new occupation.
Professor Wilson does not seem to be
much in demand as a campaign orator
among the Democrats this year. His
name is a little too suggestive Of the re-
! cent bitter experiences Of the working
men and farmers of this country.
The old Democratic gag" about in
! creased prices under the new tariff law is
not being heard this time-the reason is
! that the average Democrat knows that
! protests against protection are not longer
popular with the people of this country.
One remarkable development of the
! opening months of the new tariff law is
the general qualification with which it is
accepted irrespective of party. Even the
! Democrats are emitting the usual talk
| about increase in prices under the new
| law.
Because it is my deliberate Judgment

With several shiploads of gold coming

others from Australia, and many more

speeches this fail.
That little group Of dcspairing states
men who sailed for Japan some weeks

suit Of their Investigation.
The continual fall in the value of silver
| is causing great distress among the labor
! ing people Of Mexico. The dollar in which
| they are paid is now worth only 40 cents,
and they get only about half as many o.
| them for given amount Of work as DO
workingmen in the United States.
The calamity orators are in trouble
again. The recent statement of the con-
dition Of the national banks of the United
States shows the individual deposits to be
the largest in their history. amounting TO
the enormous sum of $1,I70. ,536. IL
