Monday morning brought the ex-
pected reaction in wheat aud it took
a sudden drop of ten cents from the
dizzy height it reached on Saturday
Tue market opened at SO and closeu
at 904 for December wheat. Many
of the small fry suckers who rushed
In to buy, expecting to see wheat
soar above dollar, were wiped of
the face Of the earth by a clear loss
of eight cents a bushel on the days
deal. On Tuesday the spectators
again put up the price to 934 and but
little business was done. The mar
ket is still unsettled, with the proba
bility of its going to a dollar again
not very encouraging. 1t looks like
the farmers who failed to sell last
Saturday let bird go.

THE SLUMP IN WHEAT.

There can hardly be doubt tina
word went out from the RepublicaI
powers to the wheat manipulation
that there must be an immediate aud
a radical advance in the cereals price
More than sixty days ago, Mr.. Ar
mour, Of Chicago, and other million.
aire wheat spectators and gold stan
dard advocates gave out interview
predicting that wheat by September
or October. at furthest, would adj
vance t. s 80 per bushel. This was
evidently the intention of the opera
tors. But they couldn't carry out
their plans. With the law of supply
and demand in their favor they could
not force the price for long very much
upward This country has a great
wheat crop and the rest of the world
is comparatively without wheat. Nat
rally, the price must go up. Wheat
is necessary and valuable. But un-
der the operation Of the gold standard
dollars are so scarce that they are far
more valuable than wheat Hence
the failure,
Certain it is that with the condi-
tons so much in our favor, if prosper
ity can not now be forced it will never
come until our financial system is
revolutionized and money is cheap
ened by being made more plentiful.
I he boastngs of the McKinleyites
who sought to make capital out of
natures great gift to us have been
discounted by the reaction in wheat
and will but prove a boomerang to
the disaster of the gold standard.
The Republican party is forced to
rely alone for its claims of better times
upon the fact that Sugar Trust stock
has gone up so per ceut at the expense
of the sugar consumers Of the country.
Surely, howe er, there are none who
will be so easily deluded as to believe
that Havemeyer prosperity means
American prosperity.
The Sun sincerely deplores the fall
ing off the price of wheat in that it
curtals the profits of the farmer and
keeps millions of dollars of foreign
money out of circulation, but the gold |
standard is simply not prosperity |
producer for such country as ours,
aud the sooner we get away from it
restoring silver to its rightful place
as a circulating medium, the sooner
we escape from the distress in which
we have 50 long found ourselves

PARIS EXPOSITION,
United States Granted Ample Space
for q Liberal Exhibit.

The acceptance by this government Of
the invitation of the republic of France
to par participate in the Universal exposition
of 1900 at Paris was Immediately followed
by the appointment of a special commits
sioner to represent the United States in
the proposed exposition, with special ref
erence to the securing of space Tor an adj
States.
The special commissioner delayed his de-
parture for Paris long enough to ascertain
the probable demand for space by Amerj-
can exhibitors. His inquiries developed an
almost unprecedented interest in the pro-
posed exposition, and the information thus
acquired enabled him to justify an APP
plication for a much larger allotment OF.
space for the American section than had
been reserved by the exposition authori-
ties. the result was particularly gratify-
Ing In view of the fact that the United
States was one Of the. last countries to
accept the invitation of France. The re-
ception accorded our special commissioner
was most cordial, and he was given every
reasonable assurance that the United
States would receive considerat ton COM
mensurate with the proportions of our ex-
hibit. The report of the special commits
sioner as to the magnitude and importance

demand for space by American exhibitors

CENTRAL AMERICAN REPUBLICS.
Our Diplomatic Relations with Them
-Nicaraguan Canal

AS to the representation of this govern
ment to Nicaragua, Salvador and Costa
Rica, have concluded that Mr.. William L.
Merrick,. confirmed as minister of the
United States to the states of Nicaragua,
Salvador and Costa RIGA shall proceed to
San Jose, Costa Rica, and there temporarily
establish the headquarters of the United
States to those three states. 1 took this
action for what regarded as the para
mount interests of this country. 1t was
developed upon an investigation by the
secretary of state that the government
Of Nicaragua, while not unwilling to re-
ceive Mr. Merrlck in his diplomatic quality,
was unable to do so because of the COM
pact concluded June 20, 1885, whereby that
republic and those of Salvador and Hon
duras, forming what is known as the
greater republic of Central America, had
surrendered to the representative diet there
of their right to receive and send diplomatic
agents: The diet was not willing to ac-
cept him because he was not accredited to
that body because the appropriation law
Of congress did not permit it. Mr. Baker,
the present minister at Managua, has been
directed to present his letters Of recall.

THE SEALS.
Progress of Negotiation Looking to Their
Better Protection.


The efforts which had been made during
the two previous years by my predecessor
to secure better protection to the fur seals
in the Northern Pacific ocean and Behring
sea, were renewed at an early date by
this administration and have been pursued
with earnestness. Upon my invitation the
governments of Japan and Russia sent
delegates to Washington and an inter-
national conference was held during the
months of October and November last,
wherein it was unanimously agreed that
under the existing regulations this species
of useful animals was threatened with ex-
tinction and that an international agree
ment of all the interested powers was
necessary for their adequate protection
The government of Great Britain did not
see proper to be represented at this con-
ference, but subsequently sent to Washing
ton, as delegates, the expert commission
ers of Great Britain and Canada who had
during the past two years visited the
Pribylof islands, and who met in confer
ence similar commissioners on the part of
the United States The result of this con-
ference was an agreement on important
facts connected with the condition of the
seal herd, heretofore in dispute, which
should place beyond controversy the duty
of the governments concerned to adopt
measures without delay for the preserva-
ton and restoration of the herd. Negoti-
atoms to this end are now in progress the
result of which / hope to be able to report
to congress at an early day.

MONETARY COMMISSION.
Unable to Secure Satisfactory He
suits from It's LabOrs.


Under the provisions of the act of con-
gress approved March 8, 1897, for the pro-
motion of an international agreement re-
specting bimetaliisms, o7 appointed on a. the a
Wolcott, Of Colorado; Hon. Adlai E.
Stevenson, of Illinois, and Hon. Charles j.
Paine, of Massachusetts, as special en-
vows to represent the United States. They
have been diligent in their efforts to Sc
cure the cooperation of European countries
in the international settlement OF the ques-
ton, but up to this time have not beer,
able to secure an agreement contemplateds
by their mission. The gratifying action of
our great sister republic of France in join
ing this country in the attempt to bring
about an agreement among the principal
commercial nations of Europe WHEREBY
fixed and relative value between gold and
silver shall be secured, furnished aSSur-
ance that we are not alone among the
larger nations of the world in realizing
the international character of the prob
lem and in the desire of reaching some
wise and practical solution OF 1t.
The British government has published
resume of the steps taken jointly by the
French ambassador in London and the
special ENJOYS of the United States, with
whom our ambassador at London active
ly cooperated in the presentation or TINS
subject to her majeSty's government. ThlS
will be laid before congress. Our special
ENJOYS have not made their final report, as,
further negotiations between the repre-
SentatiyeS of this government and the gov
ernmertS of other countries are pending
and in contemplation. They believe that
doubts which have been raised in certain
quarters respecting the position of main
tanning the stability of the parity between
the metals and kindred questions may yet
be solved by further negotiations.
Meanwhile it gives me satisfaction to
state that the special ENJOYS have already
demonstrated their ability and fitness to
deal with the subject, and 1t is to be
earnestly hoped that their labors may re-
suit in an international agreement which
will bring about recognition of both gold
and silver as money upon such terms and
with such safeguards as will secure the
use of both metals upon basis which shall
work no injustice to any class Of our citi-
ZenS.

RECIPROCITY.
Steps Taken to Improve Trade Relations
With Other Countries.

In order to execute as early as possible
the provisions of the third and fourth sec
tions or the revenue act approved July
a. 1897, l appointed Hon. John A. Kas-
son, of Iowa, a special commissioner pleni-
potentiary to undertake the requisite nego-
tlations with, foreign countries desiring to
negotiations are now proceeding with sew
eral governments, both European and
American. 1t is believed that by a careful
exercise of the powers conferred by that
act some grievances of our own and of
other countries in our mutual trade rela-
tons may be either removed or largely
alleviated, and that the volume of our COM
mercial exchanges may be enlarged, with
advantage to both contracting parties.

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.
Its Inferiority a Humiliation to National
Pride

Most desirable from every standpoint of
national interest and patriotism is the eff
fort to extend our foreign commerce. To
this end our merchant marine should be
improved and enlarged. We should do our
full share of the carrying trade of the
world. We do not do it now. We should
be the lager no longer. The inferiority Of
our merchant marine is justly humiliat-
ing to the national pride. The govern
ment by every proper constitutional means
should aid in making our ships familiar
visitors at every commercial port of the
world, thus opening up new and valuable
markets to the surplus products of the
farm and the factory.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.
The Subject Demands Due COnsidera-
ton by Congress.

International arbitration cannot be omit
ted from the list Of subjects claiming our
consideration. Events have only served to
strengthen the general views on this ques-
ton expressed in my inaugural address.
The best sentiment of the civilized world
is moving toward the settlement of diff
ferences between nations without resort
ing to the horrors of war. Treaties en-
bodying these humane principles on broad
lines without in any way imperiling our
interests or our honor shall have my con-
slant encouragement.
