LusK GETS THE pRuNB.
WHEAT AND EILyDR.
ATLANTA Constitution

A correspondent, referring to the ju-
bilant claims OF the gold organs that,
because the prices OF silver and wheat
have temporarily parted company, the
main argument of the bimetallists 10 de-
stroyed, asks if this can be true.
SO far from being true, it is one OF the
silliest inventions OF the gold organs
the silliest for the reason that they print
their fallacy in one column and a con-
elusive reply to it in another. For in
stance. it is possible TO read in the same
issue of gold organ the statement that
the main argument Of the bimetallists is
destroyed because wheat and silver have
parted company, and likewise, the state
ment that, owing TO the failure of the
wheat crops in Argentina, India and the
European countries, this country is call
ed on to supply the worlds demand for
the cereal.
Now here, as our correspondent will
see in moment, is a statement with a
crushing reply to it. India and Argen-
tin are both silver-using countries, the
latter supplementing silver with a paper
currency that is, or was a year ago, be-
low the silver par. AS it happens, these
silver-using nations are the only ones
Except the United States) which raise
wheat for export, the European coun-
tries consuming all they make, and, in
addition the surplus OF the exporting ma
tons. Consequently, when American
wheat is exported, the only competitor it
has in the foreign market is the wheat
grown in the silver-using countries. This
competing wheat is sold nominally for
gold, but really for bullion silver.
The process may be easily Illustrated.
Let us suppose that a Mexican farmer
sells a bushel Of wheat to an American
merchant for SO cents. He receives in
payment therefor gold or its equivalent.
Having mo need for this, he exchanges
it at present rates for two Mexican dol
lars, which will buy as much in Mexico
as two American dollars will command
in this country. He has therefore sold
his wheat for So, while the American
farmer can get only SO cents for his.
This transaction is not an imaginary one
when the silver-using countries make
large crops of wheat.
This year these countries are not COM
peting with the United States in the
wheat markets, and consequently they
are not buying silver The inevitable
result follows that silver declines and
American wheat rises in price. The fact
that the two commodities have parted
company under existing conditions is
proof positive that they must come to-
gether when conditions are nOrmal-that
is to say, when the surplus crops of the
silver-using countries enter the markets
and bring the price Of wheat down to the
silver level.

the boom days of ten years ago, eAcep.
that while that era Of imitation and WIG
speculation retarded our prosperity, the
nresent revival is an index Of steady ana
permanent growth, which will be sus-
tanned by the inexhaustible local re-
sources. There are no fictitious values
now, but everything is on a solid and
reasonable basis, and property is ad-
vancing all the time"
Here are some of the things the press OF
Washington is saying about the seat OF
the late Senator George:
THE politicians of Mississippi must be
Of a very innocuous type. for there mas
come from that State not the first init
nation of a struggle for the seat IN the
United States Senate occupied by the late
Senator George"
THE Mississippi Legislature will not
meet again until 1900, and it will there
fore become the duty Of Governor Nc
Laurin to appoint successor to Senator
George for the uneXpired term. Governor
McLaurin is not unknown in this city.
When Senator Walthall resigned the re-
mainder of his last term Che having been
elected to the new term) on account OF
ill health, the late Legislature being then
in session. elected Anse j. McLaurln to
fill the unoccupied term, and Mr.. Nc
Laurin sat in the Senate from February
Z, 1894. to March 3, 1895. He therefore
knows something of the requirements OF
a man to successfully represent his State
in the upper house Of Congress, and upon
him will devolye the responsibility Of
ho% hn tot &c
sented."
ut is generally believed here in Wash
ington that ex-Repr sentative Money,
having received the votes OF the Legisla-
ture for the new term, will be the choice
of the Governor and that he will shortly
be appointed. But there are several ambi-
tious politicians in Mississippi who would
like to have the honor OF sitting in the
Senate for the next two years, and the
very fact that Mr.. Money has the place
assured him as soon as the two years
roll around may initiate against his Sc
lection"

TRICKS OF THE TYPES

1t is somewhat singular how often
the omission of a single seemingly in
significant letter will alter the entire
meaning of a sentence. For instance,
several errors are recorded where the
letter "n' has been ommitted from the
n widow in some embarring positiOnm
word window" invariably placing
ton; as where on the occasion of a
street pageant a gentleman unwilling
ly advertised several widows for
hire. and the even worse blunder, in a
religious paper, which gratefully re-
corded the fact that Mr.-had every
generously placed stained glass
widow in the church at =. Errors of
substitution are usually caused by bad
distribution or by letters dropping in
to an adjoining box in an over full
case. That the letters 20" and ga" are
so frequently transposed is due to thief
fact that these letter are kept in ad-
joining boxes, and the same rule holds
good with regard to other vowels and
most frequently used letters. An err
or of this description recently occurred
in an article where an allusion to the
time hOnOred tune of Yankee Dood-
lie" was printed as "Yanke Poodle"
The proOfreader who allowed this err
ror to pass evidently hailed from
Canada, and considered the new title
as more suggestive and appropriate TO
the present day.-Press and Printer.

of its resulting in pneumonia. If rea-

this remedy for la grippe, we have yet
to learn of a single case having result
