weeks ago that the Chicago Tribun,

ton; that it was a natural demand
and that it amounted to a final eHtin.
gulsher to the false theory that wher
silver falls IN value compared with
gold all other commodities must faI,
corrcspondingly. This was copied
echoed as the statement of a erea,

announces that The Oregon farmer

that the price of wheat is dragged
down when silver falls, and that the
