and points out the stimulat-
ing effect of this amount of
money on other branches Of
industry. This is another
confirmation of the argu-
ments made by the bimetal-
lists.
A large part of this mon
ey comes from abroad.
Wheat is not only higher,
but more of it is being ex-
ported. If we had enough
money in this country, an
increase in the volume would
be an injury.
1t an 1nerease ia ths VOlllr1e
OF money, secured by the
expectation Of higher wheat,
gives cause for rejoicing, it
is not evidence that we now
have an insuficientssq tity!
If the trainers are constant
ly reminded of the large in,
crease in this years crop
will they not be able to
calculate their loss the more
easily when wheat goes
down?
Is it not possible that
pleasure experienced from
the rise in wheat will lead
farmers to desire an increase
in the price of other farm
products? When they learn
the advantages of restored
prices will they not seek
some more durable means of
sustaining prices than a
drought or famine? The
department official has also
contributed to our cause by
emphasizing the benefits re.
celved by other industries
from the farmers prosper.

7'point with pride" to the
famine as an evidence that
the Republican party is
redeemlng its campaign
pledges?
Will the Republican party
pledge itself TO use its
best efforts to continue the
famine abroad, as it pledged
itself last year to promote
international bimetallism?
The most significant thing
about Republicans rejoicing
over the rise in wheat is
that in admitting the rise
to be beneficial, they answer
the arguments made by the
leading advocates of the
gold standard last fall ard
plant themselves on the
ground heretofore occupied
by bimetallists.
We were told last fall
that All appreciating dollar
was a national blessing, and
yet within a year the en-
tire Republican press is in
ecstacy because the pur-
chasing power of 4 dollar
has been to some extent
decreased.
The wage earners were
told last fall that a rise in
the price OF commodities
would be detrimental to
them, and yet, behold! how
1 happy the Republican spell
birders are because one
great S tap | e-Aour- has
risen.
The laboring men were
told that their wages would
be virtually reduced when
it required more dollars to
buy a given amount of food
and clothing. Can it be
that our opponents have
forgotten the railway 'souud
money clubs? AS soon as
the employees ask for their
share of the promised pros.
perity the large employers
will be compelled to raise
wages or cease boasting
t h a t prosperity h a S re-
turned. ''
While the Republicans
seem to baye come over to
our position, there is this
essential difference between
them and the bimetallists;
the latter desire to raise
all prices to the binletallic
level, aud then keep them
there by a financial system
which will furnish a stan
dard money sufficient in
volume to keep pace with
the demand for money, The
former praise a dear dollar,
but grow happy over the
cheapening of the dollar in
its relation to a few ar.
ticle$.

Views Expressed BY Hon.
". ]. Bryan.

The apparent wave Of
prosperity which the Re-
publican and gOldbug papers
are procfafming as the, re-
suit of the last November
'ele c ii Q Il has no doubt
caused some of those who
voted for the free silver
cause to have doubts as
to the correctness Of that
ssue. The fact that
wheat has almost doubled
in price and silver depre-
eating at almost the same
ratio since Mr.. McKi1ley's
election, has a strong tend
ency to convince the farmers
that Che argument of the
Democrats; that the price
of wheat keeps company
with the price of silver,
is a deluslor," The advo-
Gates of the gold 'stazsard
tell us that prosperity is
coming to this country, and
point to the advance in
the price of wheat, wool,
lumber, ETC., as an evidence.
For the benefit of our read
ers we give below the
views of w J, Bryan on
these questions and their
relation to the ultimate
triumph of the cause he
represents.
Il n
"The rise in wheat will
aid, rather than injure, the
causeof b i'm e t a | ! | s m.
While a few people may
be inclined to give. an "ad-
ministration credit or blame
as the case may be, for
everything that happens
during its existence, every
intelligent person reasons
from cause to effect.
Wheat has risen because
the foreign crop has been
exceedingly short, Bimet-
allists contend that the
law of supply and demand
is universal. They apply
it rot only to money, but
to bullion, to gold and silver,
TO wheat and to every
other article Of value.
They Contend that the
exchargeable value Of money
and merchandise will be af-
fected by anything which
affects either the supply or
the demand. The Amer.
ican wheat grower is just
how profting by the almost
unprecedented d is a S t er
WHICH has overtaken the
wheat growers Of India,
Europe and South Amer.

II the Republicans desire
TO claim credit for the high
price Of wheat, they must

raise.
A few instances may be
given: If wool rises the
wool grower will be ben
Gifted, but the manufacturer
of woolen goods will suffer
unless there is a correspond
ing advance in the price Of
woolen goods.
But an advance in the
price of woolen goods is an
injury to those who wear
woolen goods unless they
enjoy a corresponding in
crease N their incomes.
If sugar rises the Sugar
Trust reaps the profit, but
it must be at the expense
of those who consume sugar
unless the consumers of
sugar can make enough
more to cover the increased
price, So, when wheat
rises, the wheat grower is
benefited, but he profits
at the expense Of those who
use -four unless the latter
in some way secure a cor
responding increase in their
incomes.
Those who understand
the cause of the recent rise
in wheat know that the
price will fall when for
eign crops again become
normal; in fact, wheat has
already receded twice ow-
ing to the fear that the
first report of foreign crop
failure was exaggerated.
The export price of wheat
for the year ending June
30, 1892, was S1.03; for
the year following it was
so cents; by the first Of
November, 1893, the price
had fallen below 70 cents.
What will be the effect
of this temporary advance?
That it must be adverse
to the Republican party
is certain. If any are fool
ish enough to credit tile
rise to the new tariff law
to the gold standard or tp
restored confidence" thh
spell will be broken whei
wheat returns to the levd
of the last few years, Ths
disappointment will then b
the more intense because
of the temporary delusion
and the Republican paper
which are today calling at
teution to the price of wheal
are simply laying up fol
themselves additional trou
bic,
The advocates of bimetl.
allisnl can rejoice while ii
lasts, and when it is oveI
they can contrast the adj
vantages of higher prices
due to an increased volumJ
of money with the short
lived benefits of Z spasmodiJ
risks, due to a famine sd
distressing as to appeal I'd

of the American people.
