BRYAN ON THE RISE IN WHEAT,
Silver Leader Discusses the Lates,
Phase Of the Situation.

silver Leader Discusses the Latest
Phase Of the Situation.
In a long letter in the New York World
of yesterday w. ]. Bryan undertakes to
explain the effect Of the recent rise in
wheat and fall in silver on the prospects
of the democratic party. of which he is the
acknowledged leader. He starts out by
saying:
1.-THE rise in wheat will aid rather than
injure the cause of bimetallism. While a
few people may be inclined to give an ad-
ministration credit blame, as the case
may be- for everything that happens dur
ing its existence. every intelligent person
reasons from cause to effect.
Wheat has risen because the foreign
crop has been exceedingly short. Bimetal
lists contend that the law of supply and
demand is universal. They apply 1t not
only to money, but to bullion, both gold
and silver. to wheat and to every other
article of value. They contend that the
exchangeable value of both money and
merchandise will be affected by anything
which affects either the demand or the
supply.
''The American wheat grower is just now
profiting by the almost unprecedented dis
aster which has overtaken the wheat grow,
ers of India, Europe and South America"
He then takes up the question Of wages.
which, he maintains, should rise with the
price of wheat, and adds:
share of the promised prosperity the large
employers will be compelled to raise wages
or cease boasting that prosperity has re-
turned:
'.If the republicans desire to claim credit
for the high price of wheat, they must as
sumo responsibility for the famine in India
Will any republican convention point with
pride to the famine as an evidence that
the republican party is redeeming its cam
paign pledges?
''Wm the republican party pledge itself
to use its best efforts to continue the
famine abroad, as it pledged itself last
year to promote international bimetallism?
Those who understand the cause Of the
recent rise in wheat know that the price
will fall when foreign crops again become
normal; in fact. wheat has already receded
twice. owing to the fear that the first re-
ports of foreign crop failure were exag-
.serated. The export price of wheat for
the year ending June 30, 1892. was $1.03;
for the year following 1t was 80 cents: by
the LIST OF November. 1893. the price had
fallen below 30 cents.
What will be the political effect Of this
temporary advance?
THAT 1t must be adverse to the republi-
can party Is certain. II any are foolish

SEVERE ON MIR. GOMPERS.
President Of A. F. of l.. Criticized 70
Some Recent Remarks.

President Of A. F. of l.. Criticized for
Some Recent Remarks.
The United Labor League of Western
Pennsylvania, at largely attended and ex-
citing meeting at Pittsburg last night, gave
expression to open revolt against
Samuel Gompers, President of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and many reflec-
tons and ugly charges are made. 1t was
all on account of expressions made by
Gompers in reference to the recent con-
vention of labor leaders at St. Louis. He
is credited with making unkind remarks
about the gathering, and casting reflections
on those who were foremost in the meet
ing. Gompers had a few defenders in the
meeting. and at one time there were re-
marks concerning somebody being thrown
out of the window.
During the discussion on proposition
to take some action on the st. Louis plat
form. NJ. P. Carrick. president of the
Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators,
greasy tool Of Capital" He said ka among
other things:
President Gompers, through interviews
and otherwise, has proven himself true
friend to labor. Gompers has said that
Debs and Sovereign are trying to DISRUPT
trades unions. 1t is he that is doing his
utmost to accomplish this. 1 want to say
that 1t was not tie trades unions that came
to the assistance of the miners in their
great fight, but the great mass of organized
labor and citizens who have no interest in
organizations. Business men, politicians,
sewing girls, several shop workers, and
people from all crafts came to the relief
of the miners, and their cause would have
been utterly lost had it depended on trades
Unions and such men as Gompers

who sit in their office and thank God that
they are not like the poor working men of
the country. Gompers is a disgrace to
labor, and I believe 1T is high time to call
down the would-be aristocrats of labor and
kick them bodily out of the movement"
When President Carrick finished he was
greeted with round after round of applause
The following resolution. offered by John
Dykus, representative of the typographical
union, was adopted:
Resolved. That the United Labor League
of Western Pennsylvania disapprove of the
utterances of Mr.. Gompers, for the reason
that they are liberal enough to believe that
the great battle for the emancipation of
labor cannot be won by trades unions alone
1t was decided to send a delegate to the
Chicago convention. to be held September
