The imports of gold, due TO arrive in
New York last week. have one painful
side. says the New York Evening Post.
They come in free of duty. This is an
extraordinary oversight on Mr.. Ding
ley's part. Every argument for put
ting a duty ON wool or sugar or hides
is an argument for putting a duty ON
gold. Is it said that we greatly want
the gold? But do we not equally the
sugar and the wool? Show US one
man who consumes gold, and we Will
show you a thousand who consume
sugar. 1t may be feebiy argued that
duty on gold would interfere With The
delicate mechanism of exchange and
seriously disturb foreign commerce.
To this we reply Q) eve hold" that it
would not; (2) it certainly would not
do it more than a duty on wool and
sugar; (9} who cares If it would? What
is a tariff for if not to disturb foreign
trade? The more it dfsturbs it, the
better It is.
The Post might have added that we
are also a gold producing nation, and
hence these imports come in conflict
with an industry that produces fifty
millions a year. These gold imports
are all wrong-from a protective-saye-
he-home-market point of view.

Over the hills, at the close of day,
Gazing with listless, seeming eyes,
Margery watches them sail away,
The sunlft clouds of the western skies
Margery signs with vain regret
AS slowly they fade from gold to gray
TIL night has come, and the sun has set
And the clouds have dTifted beyond the
day.
What are you dreaming, my little maid:
For yours are beautiful thoughts,
know:
What were the words that the wild WING
said.
And where. in the dark, did tae cloud

Come through the window and touch her
hair,
Wind of the vast and starry deep!
And tell her NOT of this old worlds care
But kiss her softly and let her sleep

shows how wheat was doomed to dol
lar by a combine, and all for gambling
purposes. The Standard then comments
as follows:
Whereupon the whole goldbug world
shouted dollar wheat" and pointed
scornfUlly at silVer's market quotation
That was just q few weeks ago. Since
then, the wheat market has steadily
settled down, in spite of the efforts Of
the wheat gamblers to brace it With
new runners OF devastating famine.
How long can wheat which averaged
Sc cents in 1885, and So cents in 1883,
and so cents in 1892. and So cents in
1S9S-how long can wheat which a ire
mendous speculative effort couldn' [
hold at a dollar over night be called
dollar wheat?
Yesterday October wheat was S72s
cents; silver was 561A cents. When sill
yer was S129 b in 1873, for in
stance-wheat was S1.31. When silver
was s114-in 1S80-wheat was S1.25; and
wheat's fall has kept pace steadily
with silvers decline during the 20 odd
years Of demonstration. During the
weeks, not long ago, when wheat Went
up and silver down, the goidbugS told
US that prosperity was surely here-ad-
vancing wheat was the unfailing sign
In more recent weeks we have had
brisk decline in wheat and a little
advance in silver. What's that a sign
Of?
The advance in wheat to the dollar
point, which it just touched, was the
result of speculation and nothing more.
The legitimate advance in the price Of
wheat was the result of the shortage
in the worlds crops and nothing else.
What may be called the temporary
parting of company between the price
of silver and that of wheat, was an ac-
ctdent due to a temporary cause, and
nothing else. The real question is,
| What viii be the price of wheat in nor
NAL years with no free coinage of silver
and its price declining? The price Of
wheat will also decline. The PROPOSE
| ton is a simple one: Reduce your
money supply one-half and you double
it's value, which means that your dollar
| buys twice as much at it did; or, by
doubling the value of the dollar in
which things are measured and it
! takes just twice as much of anything
to buy dollar. This makes it plain
| why the price of wheat and silver move
up and down together. There will be
no permanent dollar wheat until free
silver coinage is re-estabhshed.
