WHEAT AND SILVER.
"Coin" Harvey Discusses the Relation
Between the White Metal and
Wheat.
TO the Edlior Of TIE Gare,le

TO the Editor Of The Gazette:
In answer 10 the request that explain
the gap between the ounce price oi
silver and the bushel Of wheat, submit
the following:
The ounce price Of silver today is 81
cents and the bushel price Of wheat
tchicago). is n cents the difference Il
FL cents. The fiuctuation is no greater
than In former periods when the supply
of wheat has been inadequate to the
demand. When silver was worth 81 %
per ounce, free coinage price, and there
was failure Of the wheat crop in
important portions Of the world. the
price Of the latter went more than 2l
cents above the ounce price of silver
And when the wheat crop Of the world
was abundant the price frequently fell
to dollar per bushel for wheat, or 20
cents below the ounce price Of silver
What bimetallists mean by the price
Of wheat following the price Of silver il
that the price range Of the former viii
follow that Of the latter, and It is as
true today as It ever was. Under
present conditions were our mints open
TO the free coinage Of silver wheat would
be selling for 81 50 per bushel instead
of about IS cents. Our farmers in the
United States are being cheated this
year by the gold standard out Of about
$3.50, 900. 600.
Referring again to the range price Of
an ounce Of silver and bushel Of
wheat, it will be remembered that last
year the ounce price Of silver was about
81 cents, and yet wheat went 20 80 cents
or II cents below the ounce price Of
silver.
see some papers are comparing the
gold value Of the silver in token dollar
with the bushel price Of wheat. That
is wrong, As the custom has been to
compare the ounce price Of silver with
the bushel price of wheat. There are
only 37ls grains Of silver In a silver
dollar.
The humiliation the gold men are lay.
ing mp for themselves is this; That
should there be such crop of wheat in
the world next year As there was last
year. and silver is 81 cents an ounce.
wheat will go TO 40 cents. Silver is
more likely TO be 80 cents or less per
ounce next year. as measured In dear
gold aud its equivalent. and il 70 a
large world $ crop u wheat will send
the price Of the latter 10 about 30 cents
Under gold standard it is an axiom
as certain as the law Of gFavitation that
the range price Of wheat will follow the
range price Of silver; and that it cannot
get away from It except 10 Auctuate
above and below, according 10 crop
shortage or oyersupply and the average
hnshel price OF wheat through a series
az years will be indicated by the ounce
price Of silver, w. n HARVEY.

of the old Crawford court house" as
follows:
an, however. inspired 70 write yoa
this letter By reading the interesting
letter Of Robert L. Rogers about old
Crawford court house That old
place has always deeply interested me.
On the 9Th Of May. 1szs. it was the
home Of Col. Gilbert Marshall, and On
that day and At that place was born his
eldest child, Mary Marshall. who was
my wife and the mother Of my
children.
But allow me 10 correct Mr.. Rogers
a. TO one fact. 1t was not at old Craw
ford court house that the celebrated
debate, at the bar, between John Lin
ton and John Taylor. 50 graphically
told By Hallum in his Bench and Bar
Of Arkansas, occurred. 1t was at
old Norristown, when it was the county
seat Of Pope county. then including
Yell county within its limits, that
Taylor hurled his philippics at Linton
and incidentally swept the whole bar,
giving all except Samuel H Hemp
stead, who had not incurred bis i'll will,
a benefit.
Judge William Walker, late of Fort
Smith, Ark. who was then deputy
circuit clerk Of Pope county, was
present and heard it, and described the
scene; and from him have often heard
it, and he gave it TO Hallum at my re-
quest. The place was the old Pope
court house In old NorristOwn.
