Money Treasured by Wheat.

Wheat will buy 20 per cent more gold
than it would two months ago and gold
IS falling when measured by wheat.
Wheat will buy about the same per cent
more silver than it would a month ago,
so that wheat has lowered the price oil
gold about the same that it has lowered
that of silver. Measure all other things
by wheat and it will be seen they have
fallen. Wheat is now the scarcest staple
product in the world, hence its rise, and
hence the fall in price of everything else,
money included, measured by wheat.
There is no demand by European mer.
chants and shippers for silver to pay 70,
wheat in silver using countries; they have
no wheat to export, hence the fall ii
silver. American wheat is now control
ling every line of business, which condi
ton will last till the bread is in the oven

Sherman's SeniIity.

The plain truth is that Mr.. Sherman's
memory fails him, he cannot keep track
of state negotiations or what he says at
different times, and he is led into most
contradictory and embarrassing positions.
In short he is absolutely unfit for the
place he holds. And to the shame OF the
President be it said it was with a full
knowledge of this unftness that Mr..
Mckinley appointed him. He made him
Secretary of State to take him out of the
Senate and make place for Mr.. Hanna.
The Secretary's mistakes are standing
reproach to the President. Mr.. Sherman,
untitled by age for his place, was put in
the Cabinet to carry out disgraceful
bargain; we are told the President now
chafes over the garrulity of Mr.. Sherman,
but the President deserves no sympathy,
for he has no one to blame but himself

[But who is to blame for putting pres

population increases and wealth is piled

crime are corroding the life of our whole
social system.-ED.l

The leaders of the coal strike in their
appeal to organized labor and to the sense
of justice of the country make the follow
ing eloquent protest and sound a warning:
''The present struggle has assumed a
contest foi the preservation of civil liberty
and constitutional rights.
"The tyrannical and un-American in

are revolutionary, against the first prin.

to the inherent rights of the masses, ell
dangering the public peace and destroy
ing the personal security and individual
liberties of the common people,"
Plutocracy disregards this cry and i:
going on with the dream of universe
conquest. The appeal of the labor lead

who condemn government by injunction
and the use of force to coerce the peopl,
