Myers and Mclean

AT the recent Democratic State conven-
ton Allen o. Myers was the personal
representative of John r. Mclean. AS
such he not only carried out the wishes of
his chief. but was, in fact the most influ-
ential Democrat in all that gathering. He
dictated the platform, and on the Sunday
before the convention, which met on We'd
nesday, told a Blade representative exact
ly what it would contain, and he told it
straight.
Myers knows Mclean well. He was
connected with McLeans newspaper fo,
years, and each trusted the other to the
eXtent that he dared For a time there
was enmity between these two men. My
ers WIS not drawing a salary from Nc.
Lean. AT this time Myers wrote a book
1t was labeled Bosses and Doodle in
Ohio Politics" On page 213 of this book
Myers had this to say of McLean:
He has no morals. He is stranger to sen.
timent. He is not deferred by scruples. II
he has an object in view and has the money
| no community has a right to question his
act. He believes every man has his price
He goes straight to results and cares moth

character can exist in an enlightened age
But John r. Mclean is IA fact His exist

wheat's Valuable Lesson.

The silver leaders are utterly unable
to explain the rise in the price of wheat,
and at the same time maintain their ar
gument of last year. The ablest of them.
including Mr.. Jones of Nevada and Mr..
leiier, have yentured upon the task, but
all have failed. All are forced to confess
that the natural law of supply and de-
mand does apply in the present price of
wheat. But such q confession could not
have been wrung from them a year ago.
linen they We're contending. almost fierce
", that wheat was low solely because
money was scarce. Increase the volume
OF money, they insisted. and wheat would
go up. But it would not and could not go
up without such an increase. Wheat is
ROW nj the dollar mark. and even higher
ana yet there is no more money in the
country than there was last year. And
free silver meanwhile has not only not
been decreed, but the policy stands re-
jected at the polls
Now that the problem has been solved
and by i process which all may so easily
comprehend. it seems strange that so
many people last year should have be-
GeTed SO implicitly in Mr.. Bryan's con-
tensions about money and prices. The
Nebraska leader and his leutenants
wonld allow nothing whatever to the law
OF supply and demand. Silver had been
struck down. By that act half of the
money of redemption of the world had
been destroyed. and hence low prices fol-
lowed for everything. They picked out
wheat for illustration. and now wheat,
obeying the spurned law of supply and
demand. goes to the dollar mark. Short
crops abroad, which create demand for
the American wheat supply. knock the
spots out CT the illustration. and force a
confession from the silver leaders which
completely disjoints all of the tine-spun
theories upon which they tried to put Mr.
Bryan into the White ashing-
ton Star.
