Wheat's Valuable Lesson.

The silver leaders are utterly unable
TO explain the rise in the price of wheat,
ana 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 not
have been wrung from them year ago.
linen they were 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-
heved so implicitly in Mr.. Bryan's con-
tentlons 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 the spurned law of supply and
demand, goes to the dollar mark. Short
crops abroad, which create demand for
the American wheat supply knock the
spots out Of the illustration, and force a
confession from the silver leaders which
completely disjoints all of the fne-spun
theories upon which they tried to put Mr.
Bryan into the White House.-Washing-
ton Star

II the money all went to the deserving,

waste is unnecessary or useless ex-

money paid to the veterans. their widows

VI y, useiessly expended. Mr. Cleveland be-
iie'eu mat the pension roll was honey
tonioed with frauds. In order to test that
oeael ne was supplied with ample facili-
'ies TO hunt down and punish frauds. He
spent a deal of money in that quest, and

the substantial honesty of the pensioners.
III MS last annual message he presented

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 infu-
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 time there
was enmity between these two men. My
ers was not drawing a salary from Nc
Lean. At this time Myers wrote 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 a 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-
ally. 1t doesn't seem possible that such a
character can exist in an 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 can
didate for United States Senator, while
this same Myers is his chief henchman.-

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 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 campaign issue. Its virtue in
this respect is badly damaged by the dis
covery that it is pure invention. Mr.
Watson declares that no letter ever re-

M'LEAN'S GOLD BOND.
TEXT OF THE DOCUMENT AND
SKETCH OF ITS HISTORY.
Man Who Wou'd Pay Workingmen
in Gent Silver Dollars Demands
Gold, and Gold Only, for Him.
self.
Official Records Show 1t.

The demand for information about John
X. McLean's gold bonds continues so
strong that we reproduce this week the
bond in full with brief statement of it's
history. 1t is it's own comment upon the
candidacy of a man who advocates
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 a
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
$4,000, payable to him individually in
gold coin, both principal and interest.
The transaction related to the cOnStruc-
ton of 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
modlous and costly club house, the price
OF the land and the club house being $780,
UOO. 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, W hich are found on the official rec
ords, are copies of the two series of bonds
which the club was required to give as 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 $1,000, the second class of
bonds being for $4,000, also payable in
gold, and bearing higher rate of interest
than those of the first class, copy OF
which is herewith appended:

Ia Pension Money Wasted :?

The cutlery against the increase of the

have little doubt that it will go on as long
as new names are added to the roll. 1t is
not a popular clamor, for great majority
Of the American people, irrespective of

thew stand and desire their impartial en-
forcement. One of our contemporaries
thinks If unfortunate that some plan can

list Death is doing great deal in that
direction. 1t clipped off $4,000 names last

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-uD. Nearly all
the applications granted under the present
administration came over from the Cleve-
land regime. 1t was the settled policy of
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 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 MIR. Cleve-

Mexican W orkingmen in Hard Luck.

A special commission sent to Mexico by
the Trade and Labor Assembly at Chi
cago last fall reported that teamsters got
81 per day in Mexican money in the City
OF Mexico, while those in the city of Chi
cago get $l.1o per day in American dol
iars, which, as indicated, are worth near
~ re times as much as the Mexican dol
lar. Street car drivers get 70 cents per
DAY IN the City of Mexico in deprecated
money, and in the city of Chicago 1925
per day in good money. Printers in Mex
leo, $1.25 per day; in Chicago, So. Press
men M IN Mexico, $1.2O per day; in Chicago,
So.oo. Shoemakers in Mexico, $1.25; in
Chlcago, $3.50. Carpenters in Mexico,
Sl.2o per day; in Chicago, $3.50. Brick
layers in Mexico, $1.25; in Chicago, 81
per day. Laborers in Mexico, 3711a cents
per day; in Chicago, $1.25. When it is re-
membered that these wages quoted in
Mexico are now being paid in alleged dol
lars which are worth but about 43 cents
as compared with our dollars, which are
worth lOO cents, the contrast in earning
capacity is something apnalling

Mexico's Predic nent.

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,
warns them that they must fall in line
with other civilized nations if they expect
to maintain their business and financial
standing.
