Coherent COmmOditieS.

Since Monday wheat has advanced ever 1C
cents a bushel, while flour has gone up so to
IS cents observation-disclosures News.
AS stated in this paper two weeks
ago, there is rational, not to say a
necessary connection between wheat
and four-absolutely none between
silver and wheat.
When wheat goes up flour must
follow.
Not so with silver.
If it accompanies wheat it is an ac-
cident or an incident, but never a
necessity.

Government by Injunction"

There is some cutlery against ''gov-
eminent by Injunction" but it comes
from populistic sources or affiliations.
As matter of fact, all government
is "by injunction" The New York
World, speaking of the subject, says:
The first code of laws of which we have
any knowledge, and on which Thomas JEFF
tcrson said the common law was founded,
consisted of ten famous njunctions, each be-
ginning with thou shalt not"
Literally, there are only nine "thou
shalt nots !" the tenth is an affirmative,
showing none the less, however, that
the only real liberty we have is the
liberty to do right.
