An interesting table has been pre-
pared showing how wheat began in
September, 1896, to rise in price, be-
ginning at 67.2 cents a bushel and as
cending to SO cents in October, to 92.7
cents in March, 1897, to 90 cents in
August and $1O3 on September 1, 1897
Parallel with this line Of figures is an
other line showing how silver began at
67.2 cents per ounce on September l.
1896, and fell steadily, while wheat was
rising, getting by August, 1897, to 57'l
cents per ounce and by September i,
1897, to 51.2 cents per ounce. Themoral
of the parallel is that wheat is not tied
to silver any more than to gold. II we
had been on the silver basis from Sep

rise in the price Of wheat due to scarcity
would have been nullifed to some ex

Peru's chamber Of deputies has re-
Gently voted to put the country upon q
gold basis.
Our minister to Hayti writes that
Hayti is considering the proposition OF
consolidating her several debts into one
national debt, the destruction OF her
paper money, and the substitution OF a
gold currency based upon our unit OF
value, the American dollar
These are only small and compare
lively pnimportant countries. They,
however, are straws which show that
the wind is blowing away from silver
and toward gold. So many countries
have changed from silver and other
kinds of cheap money to gold during
the past two years that the silverites are
attempting to ridicule this evolutionary
process by saying that the gold stand
ard is "fad" just now.
This is one way of stating the pop
ularity of gold and the unpopulanty of
silver. The truth is that silver is being
dropped by all sagacious nations be-
cause it has in the last ten years fully
demonstrated its unftness to serve as
standard of value. It is too uncertain
and unstable in value.
Japan made the change from silver
to gold on the first of this month and
did it without a jar Or shock to her
financial or business interests. 1t is al
ways safe to change from bad to good
money.
The United States is now the only
civilized nation Of the earth that Is con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of changing
from gold to silver. How long will II
take the remaining silverites to dlscov-
err what Horace Boies has already dis
covered that silver is dead as an issue
