Wheat has gone up, silver has fall
en-. Mr., Bryan has to shift to the
assertion that while wheat may al
vance alone under a special cause,
a general advance III prices can
only come through the free coin
age of silver.
Here, again, prosperity is too
potent for Mr.. Bryan. All other
nrices, even in the brief time
since Mn. Bryan wrote, are daily
advancing, too. They are all ris-
ing from the very causes to which
the Republican party confidently
appealed, a tariff to stimulate in
dustry at home, aud a sound cur
rency tc stimulate confidence both
at home aud abroad. Prices could
not rise, Mr.. Bryan asserted, and
still rashly asserts, unless silver
was remoHetized.
A year has passed. The argn.
ments Of the last campaign have
been ground through the memorable
mill of fact. Ii grinds slowly, hut
il grinds exceeding small. What
is left of Mr.. Bryan's argument
nothing. The plea based on wheat
and silver has gone utterly. With
every week of rising prices the ar
euments based on other low prices
vanish like the dlssolving fabric of
"a dream. MIR. Bryan's fling over
the Indian famine as "a primal
cause IS nonsense, because the cur
rent crop Is not harvested until
neAt March aud April, and the
failure to which Mr.. Bryan alludes
raised the price of wheat while he
was talking cheap wheat to vest
ern farmers n year ago. Nor Is 1t
Europe alone that has advanced
wheat. Thanks to Mr.. Bryan's de-
feat. our own consumption has
risen $1,000, 900 to $4,000, 900
bushels u year, and this has swept
nway the vast reserves which once
weighed down wheat quotations.
TINS demand remains, however
Europe may want more wheat or
less.

Collector OF IntelnaI Revenue A. 3.
White shows, by a statement made by
him. published in yesterdays Intelligent
Ger, that the parties who applied to
Judge Jackson for a restraining order in
the matter Of the assignment of gaugers
and starekeepsrs, we're mistaken In sup
posing that had the power of removal
ana appointment OF his subordlnates In
these positions. This being the case, 1t
Is hard to see wherein Mr.. White was
properly made defendant in the petit
ton for the Injunction.
There has been great deal of misun-
Outstanding regarding the method of ap-
poinments they being made, not by the
collector, as supposed, but by his super
for officers at Washington. The Intelll-
gencer, tn It's comments, referred 20 Mr.
White as making the appointments or
reinstatements, this inadvertance being
due TO the title OF the case which makes
him the defendant. II appears, however,
that the Intelligeneer was correct in
stating that the collector has, in all hfs
personal acts since assuming the duties
of his office, strictly observed the civil
service rules. All assignments TO duty
of gaugers and store-keepsrs are passed
upon by the treasury department at
Washington.

II is a relief to note that there Is at
least one English journal that can dis
cuss the attitude of Americans toward
Cuba without boiling over with wrath at
what the British press pleases TO call
Yankee jlngoism." The National Re-
view OF London. is kind enough TO admit
that Cuba under Spanish auspices has
become a hell upon earth, and 1t would
be a grave reprnach on the American
people II they did not desire to suppress
such a hideous scandal AT their very
doors" The Review further says that
the British people would, If in the place
of the American people, share their senti-
ments and desires.
But the Review does not keep up this
spirit OF fairness throughout its article

acts in his own time and not in response
10 public ciamor It does not apply the
term "despot" to President Mckinley

II is more than a mere coincidence
that prosperity and business activity
should have begun the moment Re-
publican President and protective
Congress were elected.
William Jennings Bryan has not been
heard 10 make any protest against the
action of Chairman O'Myers in ordering
Presidential Candidate Towne out OF the
Ohio Democratic camp.
Those silver statesmen who recently
interviewed the Japanese financiers as
TO the cause OF the characterization OF
silver In that country do not seem to be
in any haste about making their re-
port.
Chairman Jones continues TO disclaIm
any hostility to silver hut all the same
still advises that the New York Demo-
Gratis Ignore the silver question in their
campaign, Has Mr.. Jones lost the
courage OF his convictions or has he
lost his convictions?
Mr. Bryan, II Is said. Is davotlng most
OF his oratorical attention TO Iowa just
now. The Nebraska banks are COM
planning that they have more money
than they can loan, and the farmers OF
that state are paying Off their debts
with uneSampled rapidity. thus making
Mr., Bryan's home state rather un-
comfortable place for him just now.
The latest case OF coercion, about
which a good deal was heard in the last
falls campaign, comes from Ohio in
the announcement that the manager OF
the Democratic campaign. Allan
O'Myers, has ordered eX-Congressman
Towne and other silver orators out OF
the state, with instructions that they
keep out or else keep silent on the sill
yer question until the campaign is over.
The managers OF the Democratic cam
| paign in Ohio are evidently thoroughly
disguised with the free silver PROPOSE
tion. There Is Mr.. Bryan making two
speeches day In Iowa and Just aching
to break into Ohio, but the shrewd Nc
Lean and McConville are sternly shoo-
ing him away, while Allan O'Myers Is
ordering silver Republican Towne of
the stump and out Of the state.
The effect Of the increased employ
ment which has been visible since the
protective tariff law went into operation
is being felt In business circles every
where. Wholesalers and retailers re-
port a greatly improved business, espe-
cially In the large cities and throughout
the manufacturing districts, while the
