The following, on Silver and wheat,
Is from the Nevada State Journal:

The following, on Silver and wheat"
is from the Nevada State Journal:
Last year wheat brought dollar .
bushel in Chicago. The gold men said
the advance in price was due to the
legislation of Mr.. Reeds congress, and
the silver men attributed the advance
in price to the failure of the grain crop
in the great wheat producing countries
of Europe and Asia. Now wheat for
future delivery is selling in Chi
cago at 66 cents per bushel, though
Mr.. Reed still rules congress. Hereto
fore war caused an advance in the
price of cereals; now with $4,000 men
changed from producers to consumers
there is a material decline in the price
of wheat, though the laws enacted by
Mr.. Reeds congress last year remain
unchanged. Because of the scarcity OF
breadstuff in Europe last year the gold
men ridiculed the idea that the price
of silver had any connection with the
price of wheat or cotton. Now, In the
time of war, wheat goes down to meet
silver, until an ounce of the white met
al and a bushel command very nearly
the same price, as they did for years
before the failure of the grain crop
in India and the Argentine confedera-
ton. The reconciliation Of silver
would benefit the farmer as much as
the miner, as the price Of bushel OF
wheat, since India and South America
became exporters Of that grain, and
silver was demonetized, always ad-
vanced or declined with silver, except
instances when war or crop failures
caused a scarcity of the grain"
A farmer Of Grinnell, Iowa, com
ments on the foregoing as follows:
That's right, and it is probable the
wheat raisers Of the United States by
this time see that the Republican ad-
ministration and the tariff had nothing
to do with the high price Of wheat last
year, but that 1t was due to the great
failure OF the wheat crops In nearly all
other wheat producing countries, In
Guiding especially India, South Aver
lea and Russia, and due, also. to the
great Letter wheat corner in Chicago.
With increased but less than average
crops of wheat this year In foreign
countries. wheat is fiat, and getting
fiatter. Good wheat, raised in Grinnell
township and sold in Grinnell, has
lately brought 80 to 81 cents per bush
ell.
"Other crops, corn, oats and pota-
toes, though this year below average in
yield, are SO low that the renter don't
know how he is going to pay his rent
and have much left to live upon. Wall
street don't want silver, remonetized
because it wants to buy the farmers
crop at low prices; wants dear money
and cheap property. IT'S time the farm
ers were working for cheaper money
and higher priced property. 1t now
takes too much produce to get dol
lar"

nual report enlarges upon the need OF
Misunderstanding in the common schools.
He says that there is growing interest
in education that relates to production,
and all classes of intelligent people favor
it. II Mr.. Wilson was on school board
however. he would find lots of opposition
from people whose acknowledgement would
be rested upon the charge that he was

ISLAND PoND, DECEMBER %.
Christmas and the Children.

With the coming Of Christmas. natur-
ally thoughts turn toward the children.
fIr to them there is ever that beautiful
being, Santa Claus. eser that lovely faith
which years, all too soon dispels. Other
holidays may belong to grown-up-people.
but Christmas belongs to the children
and sorrowful is the child experience
which knows nothing of the Child born
nearly nineteen hundred wears ago-born
amid the hunblest surroundings and yet
destined to redeem the world. and sor-
rowful indeed is the experience of the
child which knows nothing of that gen
tie, generous spirit ofjoy and happiness
Santa Claus. We may have outlived all
that made life beautiful for us, all the
faith in man. all the trust in his honor
and unselhshness. all the dreams and
hopes which once mingled their music
with the delicious accords OF the heart
hut with the memories ofchildhood upon
us we may find certain happiness in try
ing to make this one day. this birthday
OF One who loved children always, a day
of rladness for children. And not alone
should this gladness he bestowed upon
the children of comfortable homes, but
upon those Tho are afflicted and feel pow
erty's sting. Island Pond is not entirely
exempt from such. One poor child made
happy means one more step heavenward
--one more good deed to set over against
those which mayhap have not been good.
Peace upon earth. good will to men,
means much, and blessed is he who, hav-
ing discovered its meaning, makes good
use of it.

THE MEXICAN TRADE.

The Mexican Herald. the excellent paper
notices a complaint In New York that
Western cities, especially St. Louis and
Kansas City, are getting the large share
Of the profitable trade with Mexico. The
Herald shows why 1t is fact that the
latter named cities are enjoying this trade
and thus furnishes pointer for other
Western commercial centers.
The chief reason for the success OF st.
Louis and Kansas City in the premises Is
that they make "dligent and systematic
search" for business In Mexico, while
favored by the excellent and direct rail
way communication between the West and
Southwest. In st. Louis the Latin Ameri-
can club, composed OF the foremost Iner-
chants and business men generally, enter
tains Mexican buyers and cultivatcs social
al well as commercial relations with the
business men south Of the Rio Grande
Kansas City has likewise gone to work in
an intelligent manner to secure closer
relations with the Mexlcans. These agen-
cies the Mexican Herald refers to as po-
tent in building up trade that is grow
ing every year,
The Post has long felt that Texas cities
would find II to their advantage to ac-
lively cultivate the Mexcans and Next
can trade. While Kansas city and ST.
Louis are larger than Houston, or Gal
weston, or Dallas, yet the latter contain
business houses and small industries that
are as capable of supplying new and de-
veloping country with many lines of goods,
In large quantities. as can be found In
any city west of the Mississippi. Trade
once placed upon a firm basis can be made
to grow and the facilities be multiplied
here for meeting the development as the
exigencies may demand. We have the I'D
vantage In proximity to the field to be sup
piled; two direct lines OF railway lead from
the center of Texas to the center Of Mexico
end we are perhaps better acquainted with
the Mexican character and the conditions
In Mexico than are the people of any other
State
Texas will not need the West Indian or
the South American or Asiatc trade for
some years to come II she will properly
cultivate the great field Just across tho
Rio Gande. Mills and factories are being
multiplied in various parts OF Mexico, and
vast quantities OF our raw material ought
to be going to them annually.
II Kansas City can build up u large and
profitable trade with our sister republic
simply by intelligent effort. Houston, or
Dalias. or Galveston can do likewise.
Texas ought to find its best customer IN
modern Mexico.

out" as thea,er for big profits and that
for It's capitalists.
The argument gives away the selfishness
underlying the propositions and The new
demands. The fact is. there are thousands
OF chances for the safe and profitable in
vestment Of hundreds Of millions OF money
yet in the United states There are regions
where new lines OF railway would pay;
where factory enterprise would be profit
able; where public utilities remain 10 be
developed; where new money in trade
would command profits; regions where
progress and expansion are only awaiting
the kindly assistance Of capital But In
late years such immense profits, resulting
in such immense fortunes have been made
In big speculative ventures that capital
has grown tired OF the legitimate but
slower returns Of trade and industry and
material enterprises OF the usual kind at
home, and Is being held only for some great
financial coup. It is not that this country
does not longer furnish opportunities for
legitimate profit on money. but that 1t is
tuouBHt UndL newly dtVulIfi pVsStS0loh9
may offer chances for illegtimate gains.
THE Economic Basis OF Imperialism In
a word is not necessity, as claimed, but
rather greed.
II Is true that we have an immense sur
plus OF capital in the East ready for specu-
latlon, but 1t is also true that 1t could find
remunerative employment In the West and
South II H. were content with the ordinary
and legitimate returns Of business and in
dtistry.
To say that Hhe United States no longer
furnishes capital with opportunities Is alb
surd upon its face. This Is a case where
the simple intuition and plain experiences
OF the mass constitute the best refutaton
OF labored economic argument by scientific
or philosophical eSsaylsts To argue that
we must adopt an impfrfalistlc. colonization
policy In order to give American capital
a chance for profitable employment" is but
"a thin disguise OF an intensely selfish plea
for the Use OF the army and navy In behalf
OF the trusts and money syndlcates at the
expense OF the Nation.
