SILVER AND WHEAT.

1t seems to us that there is a good
deal of unnecessary talk about the
price of wheat and silver.
Last falls election in the United
States was decisive blow against the
use of silver as money. AS the chief
demand for silver is for coin, it is per-
fectly natural that the price should
decline when that demand was cur
tailed. There nothing strange about
that.
This year there is a famine in India
and shortage in the wheat supply of
foreign countries. Naturally the price
of wheat advanced in the United States,
and that s not queer.
In the campaign last fall the advo-
Gates of silver contended that as silver
declined in value wheat also declined,
and urged that to make silver valua-
bic, by using it more extensively for
money, would make the price of wheat
better, and thus help the great agrl-
cultural interests.
The opponents Of silver are now
pointing out with much satisfaction
that while wheat rose silver fell, and
they say that the argument made by
the silverites last fall is quite demol-
ished We do not think so.
Silver declined more than usual be-
cause of an unfavorable election
Wheat rose in price, in spite of this
fact, because foreign crops failed. The
circumstances were peculiar and there
were peculiar results.
The Bank of England is talking Of
keeping a part Of its reserve in silver,
monetary commission in the United
States has been appolnted-and silver
is rising again.
For some reason wheat is dropping
and the ratio between the two is be-
coming more like what the silver men
contend is the natural thing. So their
theory may be right after all.
At any rate, it is not fair to judge
a great principle by spasmodic events
or single occurrence. In our opin-
ion the present high price of wheat is
an abnormal thing. The price in ordi-
nary seasons is likely TO be nearer SIX
ty cents than ninety. The election OF
gold standard men has not affected
and cannot affect the price. Whether
or not the free coinage of silver would
make a difference we do not know.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urnate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out Of order

will be rendered at the Masonic

and we trust they will be literally
