IN the increase of preceding years until
an average increase of per cent per an
MN, hacomes an Increase OF 100 per cent
at tho end of twenty years.
There is nothing in our position "hich
is remotely inconsistent with the 'beor!
that supply and d'mand VIII influence
prices; but we simply recognize thae the
price OF an article may be affected by Inv
conditions which relate to tho supply oil
and tho demand for money as well as by
conditions which relate to the supply u
and demand for the article Itself. we IN
derstand that the law OF supply anu uc-
mand as 1t relates to money and the law
Of supply and demand as 1t relates to
p.rticular commodity may operate at the
sar,o time either in the same or in OPP
posite directions
For illustration, the demand for money
might be increasing per cent faster than
the supply OF 1t, which would render IL
ner cent more valuable each year anu
his NJ course, would mean an annual
doolne NJ 3 uer cent in the price OF com
mod,ties. But while the appreciation oil
money might be reducing the price Oh

| that the supply OF a particular conrloui'S
had been decreased rs per cent in one year
as compared with the year before, WHICH

undoubtedly call for rise in the price OF
that commodity equal to 20 per cent oh-
der such circumstances, we would iina

Washington. September 5.--Assistnnt
Secretary Day OF the state department,
who returned to Washington today, was
aaked whether or not 1t was true AS re-
ported that Consul General Lee, who Is on
his way to the United States, would not
return to Havana whoa his vacation is
over. Judge Day replied that the regular
thirty days annual leave had been granted
10 General Lee and that so far as he wus
nware there WAS no reason to suppose the
general would not return TO Havana when
the thirty days hnd expired.
Tho understanding here is that General
Leu's Whit 10 the United States at this
time is purely personal business, although
IL Is probable his presence here WIZ DC
taken advantage Of by the officials Tor
consultation with him regarding aflaiss in
Cuba. He ii expected TO return 10 Ia

his previous statements that his subjects
do not dare to openly take part In tne
fighting, but they have been drawn away
secretly by the mullahs whose conduct he
strongly condemns. Not the least doubt
is entertained, the dispatch says, OF the
amcer's desire to fulfill his oolisauons
loyalty. He has issued orders that his
troops be withdrawn from the detached

SUGARS IND |QII
An IMPORTANT CHANCE WAS Hi6Es


Washington. September 6-~The tFeeeury
department has prepared the regulations
governing the ssmplinE anG classification
OF imported sugars and molasses under
the new tariff law and they viii be fcrm-
ally promulgated tomorrow One Of the
principal ana most important Of the
changes made In the old regulations which
were made In 1855 is a provision recurring
that the "rcsample OF sugars shall be taken
at the time the original sample Ia taken"
This provision has bcen expsdient 70 pre-
vent any suspicion OF irreguarity. Many
new provisions are also included In the
regulations with the object OF securing
uniformity at the different laboratories
where sugars are tested. As soon as tho
change can be made only the half shadow
| polariscope Will be employed In making
tests instead Of the color instruments
now in use, and all instruments and ap-
paratus will be standardized by the offi-
| cals OF the coast and geodetic survey In
order TO secure uniform results. The
| tests for the classification OF sugars have
been changed so that the average tests
agreeing within two-tenths Of one per cent
shall govern the classification Under the
act OF 1883 the determining test was tho
| lowest OF two tests agreeing within three-
tenths OF degree, This change was made
because the present law provides for
sliding scale OF duties ON fractions OF q
degree and because It was believed this
method, which follows the commercial

vestigate tho question before they con-
clude that the recent rise In the price OF
wheat disproves our assertion that money
has been appreclstiug ever since 1878. The
records are accessible to all, and these
records show that the average price OF
wheat at the farms in the United States
In 1873 was Is per bushel, while the
average farm price this year will not OK
coed IS cents per hushcl. II the value Of
money had not changed the price OF wheat
would be greater now than II was twenty
four years ago because the wheat crop Of
the world outside OF the United States APP
proaches nearer to complete failure than
il has In thirty years.
1t 10 true that the crop In this country
Is about double what It was In the year
1878, but 1t is also true that our populS-
then, and the Increased foreign demand.
as compared with the foreign supply.
ough. to make~-.and would make, II money
was not 80 valuable--wheat In the United
States worth more than It was in 1873.
IL this county had a monetary system un-
der which the value OF the dollar had re-
malnec stable throughout the last twenty
fjIr years our farmers would be realls-
ing not lees than so per bushcl for
whe.t ut their farm granaries.
II tho men who are now rejoicing In the
advanced price Of wheat more because
they think they see a political advantage
| In it than because OF the benefit 1t brings
f,s
they will find an overwhelming conf'rma-
ton of our argument. We have insisted
| throughout this entire debate that tho gold
| standard Is vicious because 1t results In
| system Of falling prices, aud we have
asserted that there can be no real and
general prosperity in this country until
the farmers realize fair prices for their
| products. All the argument that We have
ever made could not have proven our as
sertons so conclusivey as recent events
The Improvement in the times Is due TO
an Improvement in prices, and this vim
dicates our position because we have stead
lily contended that falling prices made bad
times and rising prices made good times
The common sense OF the people every
where recognizes this economic truth to-
day. and there is not a man anywher,
who would be willing to put the price oil
wheat back where 1t was twelve month:
ago.
Under Just and wise system OF bi'
metallism. the farmers OF this country
could every year realize better prices thar
they are doing in this exceptional yea
under the gold standard; and frmly be
lieve that when the people see how mucl
more prosperous country is with goo,
prices than 1t has been with falling prices
an overwhelming majority OF the American
people will vote to establish a flnancla
system which will protect our agricultural
commercial and industrial classes agains
the Unreasonable injury and misery O
constantly falling prices.

TRICK LEGISLATION.
Answer of Chandler to the Explnna.
tiOn of Frye.

Boston, Mass. September 5.--Senator
William Chandler Of New Hampshire, who
a few days ago started a discussion by
section 90 of the Dingley tariff bill was
passed by 'trick of legislation" in the
Herald, this morning replies to Senator
Frye, who few days ago declared that he
could not tell how the amendment was
passed.
Senator Frye is good and conclusive
witness that what / say is true says
Senator Chandler. IT quote Senator
Fryes own words, How this amendment
to section 90 was secured, don't know
Senator Frye seems to mean that he
| did not know until after the conference
report was adopted on July 20 that the
| trick clause was in it, II that is what he
does mean, then he certainly was tricked,
because his relation to the whole subject,
as chairman of the committee on COM
merce, made 1t impossible that he should
| not have known that 1t was done, unless
| IL was done surreptitiously as TO him ana
all senators and members except the rev
| contriyers CT the device III, on the other
hand. Senator Frye did know before July
|
know how 1t was done after he had failed
In his open plan, he for the whole week
of debate over the conference report IN
the senate omitted to tell his New Eng
land constituents that the conferees had
struck this blow at New England inter-
ests.
ssAs Senator Frye says, the conferees are
all honorable men, OF course, they had th'
necessary explanatory statement writer
and 1t was left out by the blunder Of
clerk That is always the safest GROUND
to take In such cases.
"But whether legislation thus obtained
will stay even nominally. upon the statute
books is doubtful. Moreover, whether IN
attorney general Will find that the trucker.
of legislation must be enforced until re
pealed Is not yet settled. 1t should no
take him fifteen minutes to hold that III
contiguous country clause only apple
where there is no treaty allowing goods Z
como without extra duties in ships enter
ing our seaports; while II conventions ar
necessary TO avoid the effect OF the othe
part Of the trick, 1t should not take Score
tary sherman fifteen minutes 10 max
them with England. France and Germany
and the collection of discriminating dutie
should await the deliberate action OF con
