that Lieutenant Richard H. Brewer, 27th

the mountain Businesses of northern LuZon,
and not killed outright as was at first
feared.
A young officer of Lieutenant Brewers
regiment, who was invalided home, COM
manded the company first to reach the
scene of the capture, and his impression is
that IL the captors had intended to kill the
young officer and the private who accom-
panied him. they would have shot them
outright. The natives nearby testified that
they heard the sounds Of shots and seuf-
fie but nothing more could be learned from
them. When the Americans reached the
scene a horse was lying dead by the road
side and Lieutenant Brewers hat was
found nearby. These facts tend to
strengthen the belief among the young
officers comrades that he and his COM
panion have been carried OF into captivity,
and as the tribe which Is believed to have
captured them Is said to treat their prison.
ers well. strong hopes are entertained for
the ultimate recovery of the missing men,
Lieutenant Brewer enjoyed high degree Of
popularity among his comrades in the army
and scouting parties scour the country daily

AGRICULTURAL PRICES.
An Answer to n Critic of Mr.. Bryan,
With Statistics.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t is always easy to criticise, and there
fore Agricultural" whose letter was pub
lished in The Star of October 49, attempts
t1 pick flaws in some statements of Mr..
Bryan in his recent St Louis speech. But
"AgriculturaP' should remember, in turn,
that his own statements may also be open
to criticism and very decided criticism, al
though I will not say of him, as he did of
Mr.. Bryan, that there seems to be no ex-
cuSe for such perverSion of facts" There
may be an excuse for Aggie, and, if SO, it
Is in the fact of his pitiable ignorance of
any other statistics than those published
in some unreliable year book of the De-
pertinent Of Agriculture. He must be
one-sided reader, or else he would not
have made such statements as appear in
his letter. for they stamp him with the
brand ''falsus In uno. falsus in omnibus"
phrase which he quotes with evident unc-
ton as applying to Mr.. Bryan. Now, If
Asgie had read what is universally con-
ceded to be the leading and most authorita-
tive governmental publication bearing on
stract. 1899 Prepared by the bureau
of statistics under the direction of the
Secretary Of the Treasury" Mr.. Lyman ].
Gage, who will hardly be classed as an
admirer of Mr. Bryan, he will see the
figures quoted in the speech made at St.
Louis are correct in every particular To
help him see new light let Aggie turn to
page 366 of the publication in question.
and he will see that the average value per
bushel of wheat in the United States for
1895, was 5S.4 cents the figures quoted by Mr..
Bryan, and not 71.54 cents, claimed by
Aggie. Again, on the same page, he will
see that the average price of wheat per
bushel in 1896 was 72.6 cents. instead Of the
G6 81 cents Aggie quotes. But still again,
le- him note that page 366 gives the average
figures for 1897 CMckinleys first year, as
sos cents. and not sc. 10 cents. and In 1888
was. as Mr.. Bryan says, So cents and not
50 76 cents. So 1t would seem that Mr.
Bryan and his national committee may not
have deliberately and designedly given
them (the figures Mr.. Bryan quotes) out to
the unwary public" without sound and
ample authority for so doing. In attempt
ing to pose Mr.. Bryan as false prophet,
Aggie has only succeeded in laying bare his
own Ignorance, or else says. in effect. that
Mr. Gage knows not whereof he speaks
Between the two, it Is probably well
known in this community that the figures
of Mr.. Gage are rather more reliable than
those Aggie tries to bring forward.
Aggie says that the average price Of
wheat per bushei for the last three years
of democratic rule was 61.98 cents. while
under the first three years of this admins
tration the average was S2.5 cents. Mr.
Gage says the average was for this last
658 cents, a difference of 1871 cents per
bushef less than the figures Of Aggfe.
Still referring to the Statistical Abb
stract," Aggie will find that the highest
yearly average price Of corn per bushel
under Mr.. Mckinley was in 1899, when It

PRICES OF MANUFACTURES
REMARKABLE FALL SINCE THE
FIRST OF THE YEAR.
All Figures on Farml Products In the
Same Period Show an
Advance.

A remarkable fall in the prices Of manu-
factures in nearly pall of the great classes
is shown by the offiGial figures of the treas
ury bureau of statistics prepared for the
current number of tho monthly summary
and by recent issues of. Duns and Brad
streets. Comparing prices at the beginning
of the present month with those at the be-
ginning of the, present year. fall of from
10 to 40 per cent is shown. Tin plate shows

for publica ton in it's monthly summary OF
commerce and finance, and 1t Is from this
and from the publications of Bradstreet $,
Dun's Review. the Iron Age and the C1n-
cinnati Price Current that the figures given
herewith are obtained.
While nearly all of the figures relating to
manufactured articles show reduction on
October l, 1900 as compared with January
/, 1900, nearly all figures on prices of farm
products show an advance during the same
time. Corn shows an advance from 13h2
cents per bushel ON January 1 to 4Sla cents
on October l; wheat, from 1913 cents per
bushel on January l to 79.7 cents on Octo-
Der / barley, from 40 cents per bushel on
January to 80 cents October 1; hogs, from

per pound on January 1 to 1O.S cents on

was 45.7 cents, a difference in favor of

For rye, per bushel.- McKineys highest
was $40 cents; Cleveland's highest was BIB
cents, while the average under Mckinley
in these heydays of prosperity, has been
only g cent higher per bushel, with a much
smaller production, which accounts for this
increase. For oats McKinley's highest
falls 60 cents per bushel lower than Cleve-
lands highest, and the average for all the
years of this administration is 1.2 cents
land. For buckwheat McKinley's highest
average for any year of his rule was 55.7
cents per bushel; Cleveland's' highest eX-
ceeded these figures by 81 cents, and the
average under Mckinley was cents less
thar the average for all the years under
Cleveland.
The per cent of agricultural exports was
G0O in 1880, as against 1000 per cent in
Cleveland, the lowest per cent under demo-
cratic rule, showing a loss Of LOO per cent
for 1899 under 1895.
But there are yet a few more figures.
Cotton in 1895, under Cleveland, brought
for export shipment an average of cents
per pound. In 1899, under Mckinley, it
brought cents. Cattle for export averaged
in 1896 over $92 per head; in 1899, under
Mckinley, they averaged about $3.50 per
head. Horses for export brought an aver
age price per head in 1896 of $40, while in
1899, under Mckinley, only $40 per head.
Sheep averaged per head in 1895 .25; in
1899 only S595. Then, in another line,
find that while the figures of the "Statisti-
cal Abstract" reproduced from the report
of the interstate commerce commission.
show increases In number of cases over
1896, yet on comparing several of the re-
ports of that commission it will be seen
that out of eighteen classes of railway en-
ployes seven show an average daily wage
in 1899 in excess of that received in 1885,
amounting in all to an increase of 20 cents,
Of which 4S cents belongs to the class gen
eral officers" meaning the presidents and
other chief officers. Ten classes in 1899 show
a loss from 1895. amounting all told to "a

words, the eighteen classes of railway en-
daily wage of Ia cents each more than is
received by the same employees under Nc

published.
/ might go on ad inflnitum, but not de-
string to hurt Agyie's feelings too much
will conclude by saying that Aggie should
apply to himself that golden rule which he
says Mr.. Bryan should use. and do unto
others as he would have them do unto
him. that is, acknowledge he was wrong
