THE CAUSES or IMPROVEMENT

Proofs of Improvement in business multiply
constantly and are no longer ignored or dis
puted even by those who were recently decar'
ing that reports of gain We're grossly eXagger-
ated and deceptive. 1t is no longer a question
whether business has been increasing. That
everybody now admits. But occasionally some
speculative statstician. or some politician anX-
jous 10 prop up beaten party, suggests that
improvemcnt comes only because the farmers
have sold a great crop of wheat at high prices
One of the latest of these effusiOns represented
Western farmers as having realized several hun
dred millions already by the sales OF wheat ana
expatiated eoquently on the vastly increased
demand thus caused for manufactured products
The facts play the mischief with these fabri-
cations In the four weeks ending July "a the
actual receipts of wheat at Western markets
had been smaller than last year in every week.
In the six weeks since then they have been
larger than last year, and yet not large enough
TO indicate that any great proportion or the crop
has been marketed Since the crop year began,
July l. not 400G0010 bushels of wheat have
been received at Western markets. against a
little less thal that last year, and not enough 10
Indicate thar tenth part OF the crop has gone
out Of the control Of the farmers. Prices nave
been good but not quite good enough for farm
ers To realize several hundred millions of dol
lars" from 40OO0O00 bushels Of wheat, or any
larger quantity that they may possibly have
sold. They have delivered large quantities In
settlement Of debts TO traders, and sold much
more outright in order 10 clear off mortgage and
other claims but the uainloads going 10 mar
ket represent such deliveries and the farmers
have rot YET been buying enormously with the
same money they have required for The settle
ment Of debts.
The simple fact is that there is a certainty
Of very large returns from crops for the farm
or. and the dealers in farming regions are re-
nlenishinc stocks freely for that reason. The
farmers themselves have Lot done very much
buyng as YET, IN part because much too busy
at this time in their fields. although retail bust
ness throughout the country has considerably
;,nnroyed. But the great change In primary
markets and with manufacturers has been due
n the reimbursement OF stocks by dealers. This
has been general in farming regions but as
every agent or manufacture viii testify, not
relatively greater than in other quarters where
the bulk Of the demand comes from people EN-
ployed in manufacturing and mechanical trades

Prices AND THEIR LAW.

Official statistics show n marked increase in
me pricc Of farm products. Figures are quoted
for twelve leading articles, including dairy prod
ucts. meats, potatoes and grain-the chief asrl-
cultural staples All have risen in price since
this date last year from , 10 1870 per cent. the
average increase Of the dozen being about 30 per
cent.
At the same time not only has the free com
age of silver at Is to 1 been refused. but the
price of silver has steadily fallen, being now
about q per cent lower than II was year ago
What then becomes Of the sophistical and dema-
pocical pretence that the price of farm products
is governed by the price Of silver. and that
farmers year ago got low prices because silver
had been partially demnnetized!
Oh. but. saws the Juvenile Declaimer. these
present high prices are due 10 temporary condi-
tions. shortage of crops abroad. etc. Very well
Is il not quite possible and supposahle- that the
low prices Of a year or two ago were also due
10 temporary conditions? If the law of supply
and demand governs prices now was II not also
in force n year ago? And viii II not be in
force year hence:
You cannot have one law in force to-day and
another tomorrow. POpulist Legislatures may
do So Nature and commerce and industry do

market. all prices should he II per cent lower
than year ago, instead Of 80 per cent higher
as they are The present condition of things
is proof conclusive that the price Of silver does
