SILVER AND PRICES.
A Disnatch From Senator Daniel on the
Recent Rise in Wheat.

A Disnatch From Senator Daniel on the
Recent Rise in Wheat.
Editor New York Herald:
The high price of wheat is manifestly
due to the increased demand of foreign
countries, due to crop failures there The
low price Of silver bullion is due TO the
decreased demand, due to the progressive
closing of the mints to It's coinage. IL
there.were still greater failures oil crops in
other countries wheat would go higher.
If the prohibition of silver coinage were
followed by TIE prohibition of the use of
silver in the arts the bullion would be.
come worthless.
If gold were denied the right of free
coinage which it now has it would fall,
for the principal demand would cease.
If silver were restored to free coinage it
would Instantly go up, as the principal
demand for it as money would revive
The spasms of trade due to transitory
fluctuations OF crops and markets cannot
change the operation of general princ-
pies. The denial of the right of silver
to be freely coined has given that metal
the boycott, and it will stay down as
long rs it is boycotted, and the vast dis
tnrbance of the worlds money and prop
erty values, with the increased burden of
taxes and debt, will long continue unless
silver be restored to its royal right as a
money metal, to be freely coined like
gold
There is no exact equation between
wheat and silver, or between any two
commodities as to their prices, because
transient causes of supply and.demand
will produce constantly recurring fuctu-
atoms. But both wheat and silver, and
all other commodities, will move on n
low plane of price rs long as silver is de-
monetized, unless indeed, there he vast
output of gold that lifts the plane of
all prices by largely swelling the volume
Of money.
But if this were to take place there
would he II movement to stop gold coin
age led by the same classes that have
warred on silver. What they want is dear
dollars and cheap labor and cheap com
modities: and they will use any device to
get them. On the other hand, the masses
need a full and ever increasing volume OF
money to keep up prices, to prevent the
increase of tax burden and debt burden,
to stimulate investment in property and
enterprise. and to give competition and
employment TO labor.

dent of birth caused him to first sea

there. He is statesman and u gentle

Of the federal army tell me that he
fought with the needless ardor Of
fanatic to wrench Texas loose from the
uDiOn after it had been cemented to
the republic by the blood OF two wars.
Though he has been subjected for more
than 20 years t. the enervating social
climate at Washing ton he is as verile
in thought and as brusque in manner
as when he quit h IS law Office in the
frontier town of Corsicana and was
transplanted to the soil of the national
capital, with its crops OF fOppery and
shams. His experience there has

and respect of the other men, How
many of the men who fought him in
that contest have been retired to
private life as result of animosities
aroused among constituencies widely
separated only those who keep track
of such details know. But the list is a
long one, and Mills must feel a thrill
of pride when he reviews it Mr..
Mills is not personality which incites
admiration of the boisterous and eX-
plosive sort. He is too intellectual
and neglectful of the smaller tn ngs of
politics to have his movements through
a crowd of men and women marked by
streaks of red in the sky that is palpi-
tant with the enthusiasm of idolaters.
Yet when voting day comes he man
ages to get as many ballots as he needs,
and his defeat for speaker was the only
rebuff he has rec lived in his long pO-
litical career. Probably if he had not
tried to uDhold the course of the only
democratic president the country has
known since he has been a potent and
conspicuous figure in national life
Mills would today have a clearer road
back to the senate. This only testi6es
to his party loyalty and political cour-
age. He followed Mr.. Cleveland afieId
because the collar around the presi-
Dental neck that bore the bell was
marked democratic. If Mr.. Mills is
