FINE FACTS AND FOOLISH FANCIEs.

Most people are too busy Just now TO
give time 70 reading statistics about
the growth Of trade A year or SO age
most men had ample leisure 10 sit down
ard try TO figure out why wheat should
be running after silver. which was
never able 10 stand Up for Itself. instead
Of following gold. which always gem
erousiy welcomed wheat with pros
porous shake OF the hand. This tgure
OF speech Is entirely playful. il may be
explained, lest some Populist should
seriously try 20 convince us that gold
has nothing whatever 10 do with the
price Of wheat. We confess IN advance
that this is the case. The dollar has no
more 10 do with the price ofswheat than
the bushel in which that wheat is meas
ured. If there were twice the quantity
wanted to the present supply, or the
present supply were only half what the
nearly double that Of today. If the
country were flooded with silver the
relative value OF wheat would be de-
iermined entirely by the relation Of the
supply to the demand. II. notwith-
standing the great demand for wheat,
the demand should be exceeded by the
supply, the price would come down;
and legislating silver into a sham SEM
blance t. gold would make wheat neither
dearer nor cheaper.
The interesting phase of the situation
is the enormous quantity that is being
taken from this country. For the past
three weeks Europe has been buying
wheat in this country at the rate Of
about $500 600 bushels per week. Last
week the actual clearances of wheat
900 bushels. and even France has now
become q buyer
Turning from Europe to Asia. there
is manifested the same enormous in
crease in our foreign trade Last year
the volume Of trade with China exceed
cd that for the previous year by about
$4,000, 600. Our trade with China is
more than double the whole German
trade and second only TO that of Great
Britain.
The share Puget sound is getting OF
this additional business is rather strik-
ingly manifested in the report Of the
treasury department. from which ii ap-
pears that Puget sound exported last
year $Ss.Ssi worth of condensed milk,
while from San Francisco only s4O. 1853
worth went out. and only s2242 worth
from Portland. San Diego and Los An
geles combined. Alaska has added con-
siderably TO these figures this year by
taking probably $4,000 worth more
The bank clearances are only the Their
mometer by which the rise and fall of
trade are gagged; but the figures for
Seattle afford all the qualification we
need ask SO far as they indicate won
ierfui progress. In January. 1897, the
clearances were less than s2.000. 600.
while in January of 1898 they were as
much above $500. 600 In September.
1885,. the total was s3.2l5.0l2, while in
September of this year it was s.. o39. 64s
Mar"h Of 1888 was the banner month,

continue to rise in the scale Of national
affairs" We trust Roosevelt Will have a
larger majority than that.

WHITTIER HOUSE SUNDAY TALKS

There was a large attendance at the
regular weekly meeting of the Bradford
Liberal Club yesterday afternoon at the
Whittier House on Grand street.
The idea of the club is to meet every
Sunday afternoon at $50 o'clock, n to
have well known speakers address the
meeting mainly upon general topics of the
day.
Major z. K. Pangborn was the speaker
yesterday afternoon, and he took as his
subject, The Hawaiian Islands and An
nexation.' Mr., Pangborn, who has Wis
tied the Islands, gave a very interesting
lecture, and for the benefit of those pres
ent he brought along a good sized map of
the, islands by which he made his lecture
palmer to his hearers by pointing out the
places he had visited during his trip,
while he old his experiences in them.
When Mr.. Pangborn had finished he was
loudly applauded.
The ladies are now on the lookout for a
good speaker for next Sunday. AT each
meeting new faces can be seen.

WON'T ATTEND TIE UNWILLING
Veterans Refuse TO C~ouhtenanee the
tsG.oddean Of Peace.e


The most important business trans
acted at the meeting of the Veterans
Rights Association. held at the Avenue
House, Five Corners, on Saturday night,
was the issuing of d circular calling on
all veteran. and patriotic organizations of
the county not to AXE part In the eere-
monies attending the unveiling Of the
Soldiers and Sailors Monument, which
is to be erectedin front of the City Hall.
This move is taken as an evidence that
the opponents of the Martini model have
abandoned their proposed legal fight TO
prevent the erection Of the monument of
the selected design, and that this Will
now endeavor TO show that the majority
of the veterans of the county ~disapprove
of the action of the G.. A. r committee
in selecting that design.
The talk attending the passage of the
resolution ordering printed the senti-
ments of the organization in regard to
this matter showed that the members
have only been embittered by the con-
troversy in which the association has
been engaged and that the statute of the
Goddess of Peace" is no more popular
now that when first selected.
President Simmons appointed the fol-
lowing council Of administration:-John
B. Pagan, James Freeman, john Welsh,
g. r. Christie, Thomas, Nolan, M. Gil
hooly, Charles R. Vale, Thomas CORY
and Augustus Thiery. Fiv propositions
for membership were received and ten
new members were elected. The Enter
tainment Committee reported that the ar
rangements for the entertainment which
will be held on February II, at the Avenue
House, were progressing satisfactorily.
