Wheat's Valuable Lesson.

The silver leaders are utterly unable
to explain the rise in the price of wheat,
and at the same time maintain their ar
gument of last year. The ablest of them,
including Mr.. Jones of Nevada and Mr..
Teller, have ventured upon the task, but
all have failed. All are forced to confess
that the natural law of supply and de-
mand does apply in the present price of
wheat. But such a confession could rot
nave been wrung from them n year ago.
Then they We're contending, almost fierce
ly, that wheat was low solely because
money was scarce. Increase the volume
of money, they insisted, and wheat would
go up. But it would not and could not go
up without such an increase. Wheat is
now at the dollar mark, and even higher,
and yet there is no more money in the
country than there was last year. And
free silver meanwhile has not only not
been decreed, but the policy stands re-
jected at the polls.
Now that the problem has been solved,
and by process which all may so easily
comprehend, it seems strange that SO
many people last year should have be-
lieved SO implicitly in Mr.. Bryan's con-
tentions about money and prices. The
Nebraska leader and his lieutenants
would allow nothing whatever to the law
of supply and demand. Silver had been
struck down. By that act half of the
money of redemption of the world had
been destroyed, and hence low prices fol-
lowed for everything. They picked out
wheat for illustration, and now wheat,
obeying tie spurned law of supply and
demand, goes to the dollar mark. Short
crops abroad, which create a demand for
the American wheat supply, knock the
spots out OF the illustra ton, and force a
confession from the silver leaders which
completely disjoints all of the fine-spun
theories upon which they tried to put Mr..
Bryan into the White DEMONSTRATING

1t Was Not True, of Course.

NO man in public Office owes the public
anything
The calamity organs are publishing the
above and crediting the statement to Sen
ator Hanna. The Senator is said to have
written the startling sentiment in a letter
to Attorney General Watson. 1t must be
classed. says the Times-Star, among the
things that are important if true. But it
will hardly prove useful to the silver Dem
ocrats as a campaign issue. Its virtue in
this respect is badly damaged by the dis
covery that it is a pure invention. Mr..
Watson declares that no letter ever re-
ceived by him from Senator Hanna con-
tanned such a statement. This early ex-
posture of the fraudulency of the cam
paign efforts of the McLean-Chapman
crowd is a stunning blow TO the rampa IL t
apostles of free silver.

MYERS and Mclean.

At the recent Democratic State conven-
ton Allen o. Myers was the personal
representative of John r. Mclean. As
such he not only carried out the wishes of
his chief, but was, in fact, the most inf1u-
entail Democrat in all that gathering. He
dictated the platform, and on the Sunday
before the convention, which met on We'd
nesday, told Blade representative exact
ly what it would contain, and he told it
straight.
Myers knows Mclean well. He was
connected with McLean's newspaper for
years, and each trusted the other to the
extent that he dared. For a time there
was enmity between these two men. My
ers was not drawing a salary from Nc
Lean. At this time Myers wrote a book
1t was labeled Bosses and Doodle in
Ohio Politics. On page 213 of this book
Myers had this to say of Mclean:
He has no morals He Is stranger to SEN
timent- He is not deferred by scruples. If
he has an object in view and has the money
to buy it, in his code of life no law, no man,
no community has right to question his
act. He believes every man has his price.
He goes straight to results and cares moth
ing about public opinion, methods or the
rights of Others When he can get or has got
what he wants he pays promptly and liber-
character can exist In enlightened age
But John r. Mclean Is a fact his exist
ence must be acknowledged.
And now this same Mclean is boss OF
the Democratic party in Ohio, and a can.
didate for United States Senator. while

in 40-Cent Silver Dollars Demands
Gold, and Gold Only, for Him.
seIf.

The demand for information about John
r. McLean's gold bonds continues SO
strong that we reproduce this week the
bond in full with brief statement of its
history 1t is its own comment upon the
candidacy of a man who advocates q
cause of paying workingmen in Accent
silver dollars and demands good gold dol
lars, and gold dollars only, for himself
The transaction in question is that of
contract made by him with the Columbia
Athletic Club of this city in 1889, in
which he requires that organization to
make sundry obligations amounting to
StO,OOO, payable to him individually IN
gold coin, both principal and interest
The transaction related to the construc-
ton of a club house for this organiZa-
ton, the Columbia Athletic Club of the
District of Columbia. In that year he
made an agreement with the club by
which he sold to it certain lots in the
fashionable northwest part of Washing
ton, near the War, State and Navy De
partments, and erected thereupon a COM
modious and costly club house, the price
of the land and the club house being &c.
600 This money the club agreed to pay
on or before the LIST of March, 1909, and
issued bonds payable to John r. Mclean,
bearing his name upon their face. These
bonds he required the club to agree to
pay in gold coin of the United States of
the present standard of weight and fine
ness, also requiring it to pay the Inter
est thereon in like gold COIN
There can be no doubt about the accu-
racy of this statement. The bonds were
prepared and signed by the officers of the
club and turned over to him. and some of
them have since passed into the hands of
other parties who now hold them. Not
only are these bonds still extant and
readily obtainable by those who desire
to verify this statement, but a still more
permanent and unimpeachable record of
this transa ction is found upon the official
records of the District of Columbia. The
details of the entire transaction between
Mr.. Mclean and the Columbia Athletic
Club are set forth in a copy of deed of
trust given in connection with this trans
action. Among the details of this trans
action, which are found on the official rec
ords, are copies of the two series of bonds
which the club was required to give Is its
form of agreement to pay Mr.. Mclean
the gold which he required from it There
were 70 be two classes of bonds, one class
amounting to $4,000, each bond to be
for the sum of 81 900, the second class of
bonds being for $4,000, also payable in
gold. and bearing a higher rate of interest
than those of the first class, copy of
which is herewith appended:

Is Pension Money wasted e,

The outcry against the increase of tho
pension list since the Mckinley admins

have little doubt that it will go on as long
as new names are added to the roll IT is
not a popular clamor, for a great ma ioritv
of the American people, irrespective of
party. are in favor of the pension laws as
they stand and desire their impartial on
forcement. One of our contemporar rios
thinks it unfortunate that some pIan can
not be devised to stop the growth of the
list. Death is doing great deal in that
direction. 1t clipped off SO, 600 names Ia Of
wear. and it will continue to clip at an
increa sing ratio as the years wear on for
even the youngest Of the surviving VET
erans are getting to be old men,
We have, in a recent issue of the Post
explained the increase of the list since
the 4th of March by showing that it was
due to the Cleveland hold-up. Nearly all
the applications granted under the present
administration came over from the CIeve-
Mr.. Cleveland to hold up claims and pass
them along to his successor. There was
no saving to the treasury in this in the
long run, for a pension dates back to the
time of the application Most of the held
up claims were those of widows, clearly
proven and sure to be allowed The
Cleveland administration deliberately
halted the work of the pension bureau
and kept thousands of poor widows out OF
the money that belonged to them If any
one doubts this the records of the bureau
will prove it And it is in perfect har-
mony with the whole course of Mr. Cleve-
land on the pension question His views
are just about those which his ardent ad-

Brief Comment.

The increase in the production of gold
In all parts of the world is proving very
discoura ging to the free silver theorists.
The value of the silver dollar has fallen
10 cents and the price of wheat has risen
% cents per bushel since the free coinage
orators were insisting last year that
wheat and silver went hand in hand as to
prices.
The 1900 election is likely TO find the
world with a billion dollars more of gold
than it had in 1896. The wonderful in
crease in the production of gold in all
parts of the world is proving very discour-
aging to the free silver theorists
The friends of the free coinage proposi-
ton who have been insisting that their pet
financial theory would, if put in practice.
increase our sales abroad are not discuss
ing very loudly the fact that in the very
year in which the country refused to adopt
free coinage its exports were the largest
in its history, amounting to 81 ,O32, O01, :
800.

Business stin Improves.

Business conditions continue to improve
and the reports which come from the high
est authorities on this subject are all sat
isfacto-y. The latest issue of Dun's Re
view, commenting on business conditions
the country over, says: Every city re-
porting this week notes increase in trade
and nearly all bright prospects. The
great change in business is emphasized by
the presence of a multitude of buyers
from all parts of the country, by their
statements of the situation at their homes.
and. more forcibly yet, by the heavy pur-
chases they are making. But the custom
airy signs of prosperity are not lacking.
The strong rise in stocks, the growth of
bank cIearings and railroad earnings, the
heavy speculation in many products, but
most of all in wheat, have made the week
one of surprising interest even to those
who best remember the upward rush in

,fe.ico,s Predicament.

The recent enormous fall in the price Of
silver is driving Mexico to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of going to the gold standard
The example of japan, Russia, Peru and,
in fact, all the intelligent nations of the
world, is having its effect upon the states
men OF that country, and, followed, as It
is. by the business troubles growing out
of the great fall in the value Of silver,

with other civilized nations if they expect
to maintain their business and financial
standing.

IF the Democrats should gain control
of Ohio they would send to the Senate a

would be sent to Congress to support
