The SiIver-Wheat Puzzle.

1t is painful to note how the ignorance
of the people is played upon by the gold
bug press. "Wheat is up and silver
down." they cry. How is that" The
cause is so manifest that it should be an
insult to ordinary intelligence to pro,
pound such question. Almost all the
silver that is now being produced in the
world is mined on the American CONT
nent, and the largest part Of that is pro-
duced by the United States and Mexico.
When there is a surplus of wheat for ex-
port i'll India, Russia, the Baltic coun-
tries and Argentina, silver money coun
tries, our American silver is purchased in
the bullion form and exchanged for wheat
i'll those countries at profit. The wheat
exported from those countries, paid for
with American silver, is placed on the
Liverpool market at the price of one
ounce of American silver for bushel of
wheat, in competition with our wheat.
This year all that is changed. The
crops seem to have failed in all of those
countries to such an extent that they
have next thing to no wheat to export, in
fact are wheat buyers. The United States
has abundant crops and the European
world has to send to the United States for
their bread supplies. They cannot use
our silver bullion to pay for wheat to any
advantage over the use of gold. The sill
yer and wheat this season are both in the
American bag, SO to speak, and cannot
be exchanged one for the other. The
demand for American silver to pay for
wheat in Asia and other wheat countries
has ceased and the demand for American
wheat has increased. This is the simple
business explanation and reason why
wheat has risen and silver has not. A
child ought TO readily understand it, but
it does puzzle the goldbug papers awfully,
they say. Almost any plain business or
economic truth puzzles than. They are
wonderful lights of knowledge, sure

A Large Store and Small Capital.

The great city stores are steadily reach
ing out and competing with the country
stores, taking away large part of the
local trade which of right belongs to the
country merchant, by offering prizes and
marking down goods to half former
prices, etc. These large stores are en-
abled to do heavy country business by
placing flaming advertisements in coun-
try papers and using the mail and express
to forward goods to the purchasers in the
country Country merchants as general
thing have not capital or store room to
keep in stock so great variety of goods
as are presented in dazzling array and at
tempting prices by the great city store,
and the remnants, shelf-worn goods and
changing styles are sure to leave unsold,
in the aggregate large quantities of goods
that soon become unstable.
The country merchant might forestall
and prevent the catastrophe which is
steadily encroaching upon his trade by a
cooperative movement with the large
city houses. His store might be stocked
with great variety, but small quantity
of each kind of goods which he could
furnish his customers at city prices by
mail or express, and by advertising his
immense stock and variety of goods soon
number among his clients quite all of the
city customers, who, finding the goods
they see so attractively offered by the city
stores all procurable at their home store
and at the city price, thereby saving time,
expense and trouble of going to the city
or the unsatisfactory method of selecting
goods by small samples sent by mail
The loss Of remnants incident to the
old method would be saved to the country
merchant, the investment of large cap
ital would be avoided and great ware
house of store room would be unnecessary
to handle line of goods many times
larger than he is, under the old regime,
able to do. The large city merchant
would gladly cooperate with reliable
country merchants and share the profits
with them. All purchasers through the
mail and express are cash customers,
which is great inducement for the
country merchant to secure them IN his
trade.

Brother Stengle of the Port Deposit
Press has put up the Republican ticket at
his mast head and gives as reason that
the Democratic racetrack platform is too
ambiguous, or words to that effect. Am
biguity will not pay in future. If the
race-track platform is ambiguous how
shall Gorman's State convention platform
be characterized? If there ever was a
time in Maryland for an honest, indie
pendent ticket, placed on principle and
an unmistakable declaration of that prin-
ciple, it is now. The fields are white
with the harvest but the reapers are few.

The following ludicrous description of
the Republican national convention of
1900 is drawn by Frederick U. Adams in
his famous book, president John
Smith -
''The Republican national convention
met i'll St. Louis and after bitter contest
between Thomas B. Reeve of Maine, and
Mark kindly of Ohio, the latter was
nominated and a platform adopted
pledging the party to an increase in the
tariff, defense of the pension laws and a
strict adhesion to Sound money'-mean-
ing gold standard of nlonometallisnl.
"The convention was absolutely under
the control of the bankers and American
representatives of the European money
syndicates. The orators made glowing
predictions of the good times which would
follow strict adhesion to sound money.
They declared that the time had come
when the government should go out of
the banking business and pledged the
party to permanent retirement of the
greenbacks on an issue of bank notes by
the national banks. They attempted to
prove that the country was enjoying a
degree of prosperity and talked much
about the old flag, restoration of COIL
fdence and the necessity of closer rela-
tons with Great Britain. The leaders
confidently predicted an easy and over
whelming victory"
This is so faithful picture of the Re-
publican party today, tho lanentable, it
is absolutely laughable.

The age Of government is the coming
age. Progress has touched with its magic
wand every science and art but that OF
government. Music, poetry, philosophy,
war, medicine, literature, astronomy,
navigation have progressed with the ad-
vancing years. Government-the grand
est study of man-has alone repealed the
aid of science with its eyes fixed on the
past and its ears deaf to the higher activ-
tiles of the present, exists among men
today, grotesque, antique, incongruous.
There is no applied science of govern
ment Where Ascience should prevail,
superstition and precedent hold sway
modern government is patchwork
handed down from All age of kings and
of wars, for the observance of a people
who hate kings and wars.-President

The Baltimore American says-and all

zone big harvest will undo much OF
the harm that Populisul has done.'
"Were the coal miners wise, they
would quit their striking and go back to
work"
If these slave papers were not driven
under the whip of a master they would
tell the people the truth and aid them to
right their wrongs. Good harvests will
not save the Republican party from utter
failure, nor quench the fires the Populists
have kindled.

PASADENA

PASADENA, Oct .24.-(Regular Cor
respondence.l There is very little
doubt in the minds of friends and rela
tives of Wilson Lee today that the young
man was out of his head at the time he
left home so suddenly Wednesday after
noon. Several things, put together point
to the conclusion that Lee was taken
with some sudden hallucination, He
complained of strange feelings in his
head a few days before his departure,
and professed to hear sounds and see
objects which no other member of the
family could hear or see.
Some time ago Wilson and his brother
Joseph. were visiting another brother
who lives at Elsinore. While there
Joseph found few specimens of ore
which Wilson saw. 1t is barely possible
that this incident made an impression
upon Wilson and led him to visit the
brother at Elsinore. Still, this would
not account for his going away without
letting his family know of his intentions.
as there would not have been the slight
est objection made to his paying the
visit The fact that he had only 20 cents
in his pocket when he left also points to
the theory that his mind was Unbalanced.
Wilson must have consumed the time
from p. m until sometime late Satur-
day afternoon in covering the seventy
seven miles on his wheel between this
city and Elsinore. where he now is, be-
ing out three nights. This is known, be-
cause the Lees were informed by tele-
phone from the Elsinore brother that
Wilson had not arrived there until the
time named Tom Lee went down today
on his wheel to bring his brother home,
as the family do not think Wilson to be
in a condition to take care of himself
He is expected home tomorrow.
