Denial That Three Pittsburgh Men
SwindIed a Detroit Concern.

Detroit, Aug. 7.-George II. Paine,
secretary of the National Loan & In
vestment company of this city, gave out
statement Friday night denying that
the company had lost 100000 through
loans to Pittsburgh men placed upon
inadequate securities. Secretary Paine
ADMITS that a much smaller amount was
lost in this way at Pittsburgh some two
years ago, but claims that the recent
arrest of three Pittsburgh men has
nothing to do with this loss. The ar
rests were for fraudulent use of the
mails, and were made, Mr.. Paine says,
solely in the interest of good govern
ment. The parties arrested are sus-
pected of conspiring together to de-
fraud the company.

FREE SILVER AND WHEAT.
The Farmers Are Doing Some Solid
Thinking.

The more the farmers throughout the
country look at the present price of
wheat and compare it with the metallic
value of the silver dollar the more they
must feel satisfied with the result of
the presidential election. They are
getting from 15 to 20 cents bushel more
for wheat this season than last, and
getting it in gold. Moreover, they are
not only paying their debts in good
coin at hundred cents on the dollar,
but they have money to loan. The
farmer pays his debts on the gold
basis, loans his money on the gold
basis, and when it falls due he will eX-
pect to receive payment on the gold
basis.
Men who at all reflect on the money
question and on prices must now per-
ceive that however coincident the de-
cline in the prices of silver and wheat
no necessary connection between the
two productions, and it was not the
decentralization of silver that caused
wheat to decline. Both wheat and sill
YER suffered in price because there was
an oversupply of both and a less de-
mand. To-day the worlds supply of
wheat is short, and the price, for nat
ural economic reasons. advances. 1t
is not so with silver. The overproduc-
ton continues, and there is no corre-
spending demand. Hence the price
falls.
The farmers will undoubtedly do
good deal of hard-headed thinking this
fall, and if Bryan and Altgeld and the
whole silver crew ever cajole them into
voting for free silver again it will be
because they have lost their wits.-Chi-
