prosperous times are not fulfilled, now

brings better price than It formerly
commanded. Now. I want 10 ask any
honest minded Republican If the Ding
ley Bill has anything 10 do with the
higher price Of wheat. There Is 3
prolonged drouth in India, and 3
drouth and wheat failure in Russia,
and wheat failure in South America.
and that being the case, wheat Is fore
ed up IN this country on account Of the
great foreign demand caused by the
above failures and drouths in those
great wheat regions. IF in those coun-
tries there had been good wheat crops,
then wheat here at this time would
not be over S5 or 40 cents a bushel.
Why then will a man abuse his con
science and for the sake Of prejudice.
claim that Mckinley or Dingley or any
other man, or any law but the Law OF
supply and demand, is the cause Of the
good. price Of wheat?

surely need all they can get for il. But

Dingley Bill cannot possibly make the
price Of wheat higher. We do not in

wheat than the man il the moon has?
