4 OrESTIOy on pOprLATrON.

Quite little disturbance seems to
have been raised by the action Of ma
tional bank At Beatrice, Ncb., in certi-
flying to the comptroller Of the currency
that the population of that city is less
than 5000. The purpose of this state
ment is to secure permission to remain
national bank while reducing its cap
ital from StOO,OOO to $4,000, the latter
sum being limited to the capital of banks
operating in places of less than 6,0O0
inhabitants. lnaSmuCh as the popula-
tion of Beatrice was given as 1886 by
the federal census Of 1870, the people of
that city naturally protest against any
assertion that they have lost over 60
per cent of their people since the cen
sus year.
The facts in the case appear to in
dicatc gross pcrvcrSion of the truth by
the officers of the bank in question.
Taking the vote cast by Beatrice in the
three last presidential elections and as
suming that there is one voter to every
six of the population. the statistics work
out as follows:
Year. Total vote. pofu'u.
1888 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 1.4i6 SN36
1892 .......,...............1 1,S09 1O,S5i
1870 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 1,62O $3.50
The chances are that the census fig
ures were considerably padded and that
Beatrice like all western towns has lost
population during the era of financial
depression, but to bring it down below
6.OOO inhabitants is the rankest kind Of
injustice. Even taking five as the ratio
of population to voters. the figure would
could it be made less than 5000. The
comptroller of the currency has very
evidently been imposed upon and should
take steps to rcctify the mistake.

silver and wheat.

Arguments are now being made By
the gold press to show that the price
Of wheat and the price of silver have
nothing in common with each other,
and to demonstrate their contention
they point to the recent advance in
the price OF wheat, while the price Of
silver has remained the same or has
somewhat declined. The argument Of
the silver men that wheat and silver
have kept pace with each other is
based upon the price OF both commo-
dities for given number of years
OF course, occasional bad yields Of
wheat would cause its price to rise.
and, on the other hand, when large
crops were produced wheat would de-
cline. But taking the price of wheat
and the price Of silver for a given mum.
Der OF years, and the average price OF
both will show correlative leaning OF
ne toward the other. The advanced
price Of wheat for month or two will
make no great divergence between the
price Of silver and wheat when taken
on an average for a year or more.
1t has been conclusively shown by
Statistics, which have often been print
ed, that since 1873, when silver was
demonetlzed, silver and wheat have
kept pace with each other. and that
the price Of bushel Of wheat was
about an ounce Of silver. II will take
more than temporary advance I'm the
price Of wheat to refute these statls-
tics. The gold press will receive very
little comfort from making a COMPARE
son between the price OF silver and
the price Of wheat for month or two.
The argument Of the friends OF silver
IL more substantial than that which
the gold men make by taking short pc
