could pick out the year 1878 II the
dates were removed from the diagram.
When too many people raise wheat, the
price Is low. II wheat commands high
price, by reason Of short crop, more
people begin to raise wheat, the price
gradually falls, and people gradually
stop raising wheat. Suddenly short
crop may again raise prices to an extent
that will again increase the number Of
wheat growers. The average price Of
wheat at Dubuque during this entire
interval has been 70 cents. This price
has been so nearly reached recently that
it is hardly profitable to speculate about
the causes which produced the low prices
of wheat during tho panic and hard
times beginning in 1892. But it does
seem unreasonable to attribute it to a
crime said to have been committed 90
years ago and which few people con-
sidered criminal five years ago. Mr..
Bryan evidently had not discovered this
crime OH March 10, 1892.
Professor Nipher then quotes London
prices Of wheat and shows that they
have declined faster than Iowa prices
mainly because Of reduced cost OF trans
portation. He says that without doubt
the future price Of wheat will be deter.
mined by tho amount Of wheat grown
and the ability Of people to pay for it. "
He draws tho following conclusion:
"In not one of these diagrams is there
tho slightest indication Of falling off
In price dating from 1878. nor is there
tho slightest feature to indicate that
the year 1878 has any significance what
ever in our commercial history. In not
one of these diagrams could any person
pick ont the year 1873 II the dates were
removed. What ground have we, then,
for asserting that prices have fallen by
reason Of tho crime Of 1878? What is
this grand display Of political Mysteries
all aboutp
From 1861 to 1909 the farmers in
Iowa were getting on tho average
slightly increasing prices for their prod
uce. This was certainly true Of produce
which was not forced to seek foreign
markets
"In the name OF all that is reasonable
why should these farmers object that
tho dollars in which they were being
paid would buy more Of manufactured
goods in 1892 than they did in 1878?
Let us DO candid. Let us remove these
business matters from the corrupting
influence of partisan politics and think
about them soborly and talk about them
calmly. They concern our welfare and
tho happiness of our families.

No Longer welded to silver.

Senators Stewart and Jones, those
two old silver war horses, arc mystify
ing tho enemy and dumfounding tho
silverites by their sudden change from
pessimism to optimism. They are both
in Wall street and arc specializing on n
great wave of prosperity. Senator Stew
nrt said on Aug. IL:
"There Is no room for pessimism in
this country. No ono can DO bear in
tho face of tho wheat famine in Argen-
tina Russia, Hungary and India. In
view Of this condition abroad should
not be surprised to 100 silver sell as low
as 30 cents and wheat as high as 81.
There IL nothing in talking silver ut
tho present time, and my advice to my
friends In the west IL to fall into line
with THO forces of prosperity and prog.
resi- and receive their duo share OF tho
reward.
''The time has passed for tho old is-
sues. We must turn to face new issues
aud new conditions.
II frequently hear it said that this
security market Is duplicate Of tho
market in 1850. Ii is not. 1t is more Of
~ bull market All man has to do Is
to get into it--go to sleep and get rich.
Tho wheat situation in tho west will
mako every railway not only II dividend
Garner but dividend payer.
Senator Jones talked In similar
vein. He seems to have discarded silver
and gone back to gold He said: Il be-
lieve great deal of gold will bo found
In Alaska. and it in certain to restore
prosperity. An abundance Of money
means prosperity. :.
1t is relief to bo told by these for
mer gold haters that prosperity can
como through gold. They are welcome
to their moro money theory Of prosper
ity, mainly because it differs from the
~ to theory.
