New York Press. ' The attempt which Is made In some quarters to make It apiear that what we all the "anarchist plank" of the Chicago platform Is but a fresh expression of the traditional Democratic view of "states' rights" will not work. That plank had its origin solely In the brain of (iovernor Altgeld a brain tired with resentment at the suppression of the anarchist rising In Chicago at tho time of the great railroad strike. To that anarchistic demonstration iovernor Allgeld had lent all the aid which the avowed sympathy of an olllelal In jiower could ssslbly afford. He had calmly witnessed the seizure of railroad and other properly by the mob. lie had beheld the llames mourning skyward from burning warehouses nnd railroad trains, tired by miscreants who sought to reproduce at Chicago the horrors of the I'aris commune, with no effective step taken to arrest the evil-doers. The entire railway system of tln country, passing through Illinois, was blockaded with wrecked and stalled trains, but this rec reant governor, anxious only to curry fa vor with Ilu b, refused to us,- the pow er eonllded to his hands ami set the wlnvls of conuneive when once in motion. I.'verywhere the anarchistic mob, though no longer supported by tin- better element L or the striking railroad employes, seemed lo rejoice In Altgeld's eouuli ice, as It pursued lis course of dcstruiilun. Mut In stopping the passage of the roll ed suites mails and In Interfering with lu- ter-slato commerce, the anarchists tiulckly found that they had gone loo far-farther even than Allgeld could sustain them. I he supremo power of the nation was lu. voked. The Injunctions of the courts against the rioters were enforced, at the I 'residents order, by lilies of gleaming bayonets, and 1 lit '-boys in blue," regard less of Allgeld s remonstrances, imlckly set the trains In motion again, backed the li'ighloned but now reassured municipal ities In the restoration of law ami order, and sent the anarchists, with their red ting, cowering to their dens before the tri umphant unfolding of the sens and stripes. (iovernor Allgeld has never repented of ins cowanllce anil disloyalty on that occa sion, but he has nevertheless felt the sung oi popular comii-mnutum and re buke; ami has longed lor a "vindication." In the Chicago I'opoeratlc convention, controlled by a multitude of crazy dema gogues and visionaries over whom be had a strange hypnotic lulluciico, be found his opportunity: and the "anarchist plank" was adopted as an endorsement of his course at the time of tin- Chicago riots and as a condemnation of I'.- sMent Cleveland's course lu suppressing these inarchistlc orgies. Thus, out of the blighted, rotten log of Altgeldian communism not out of any historic Democratic live was a plank which a contemporary lias well denomin ated the "fret- riot plank" of the I'opo eratlc platform sawed. Its ad -piloti was bailed by all the unruly elements of so ciety with delight. All those who f.nicy they see a prospective gain lu the break ing up of the established older of things, who want to reap where they have not sown, and fatten on whit others have earned; all those who want to siilKimte tile Ipse dixit of the mob for tin- proivsscs of the courts; all elements of unrest ev erywhere, tiud their chief Incentive to working for the Chicago iioinlmrs in that plank, For ISryan dci-lnrv he en dorses "every word of i:." The triumph f a candidate standing on that platform would cmliohlcn every anarchist to crawl iit of his lair; and on the tlrst occasion e might behold the scenes of the Clilea go riot re-enacted all over the land, with i.o 'resident in power daring to uohold lie- uiaicstjr of the law. ONE DA VAT CANTON McKinley to the Wool Growers. Major McKInlcy made a telling speech yesterday to the wool growers of Ohio.

William McKInlcy has established a permanent reputation for effective campaign oratory.

It is peculiarly interesting nt this time, when Mr. Diyan and the other soon-to- be-snufTed-oiit lights of the free-silver heresy have been cramming a variety of pleasing fictions down the throats of farmers, to tall attention to the practical ly Biiiiiiltni.eoiia rim' in wheat mid drop in silver. Probably the free-silver folk will say lo regard to the remarkable rise in wheut about 11 cents n bushel in a mouth: "What did we tell you if It's as clear as daylight; everybody knows that free sil ver will succeed, hence they are buying wheat now. ns it will go to a dollar at least after Mr, Bryan's election. That's why Kurope is hiiyin such quantities of wheut. Won't Work llolh Wnyn. If this is the free-silver argument for the advance hi wheut, why is it that Ku rope is not buying silver at ti-i'4 cents an ounce if .Mr. Bryan's election will raise its price to yi.DV Mr. Bryan's contention has heen that It was impossible for wheat to rise as long as the gold standard prevailed. Mr. Bryan knew as well as any of us that he was lying when he no id thnt. What does he say about it now. His silence on the subject is most expansive. I'ossi bly he is racking his brains to account for it. ami it is probable he inn -get off something ei(iully illuminating as his ex '"",tt of the gold import veinent. I he lact is, this advance hi wheat, wholly ilue as it is to natural causes, is a cunning blow to the free silver fallacy. It is useless to tell the farmer that he cannot get h,re f,. ,M wheat' while we remain on n gold standard, when In- is receiving ltl touts a bushel more for it than lie was a month ago. ( onsidering that this has been one of the stock arguments of the free silver ites. it is well t point out again and agi.m just why wheat has advanced. It is all summed up in this: The crops here ninl abroad have been short, the total decrease for the world, according to foreign trnde estimates, from last year" crop Mug more tbnu 100.000,000 bush els. Lnsj year the total crop wil Bier than n.iTj.OOO.OOO. This year Tbm estimates it ut 4.'ir.000,000. The nal loss has been outside this country! thnt the demand for our wheat abroad has been exceptionally heavy. Braa street's reports total exports of whtat and flour for lust week nt 4.21B.7M bosh els (the largest since September, 1803). ngainst .'UKIO.-KKI the week before and 2,(I13,8(MI in the corresponding week last year. Here in an increase over last of l.OOl.irjS bushels. In' the month of September we exported 1,511,727 bush els: ill September. 181)5, 10,11:1.807, as increase of 0,307,8.'I0 bushels. This wUl explain to everyone except chuekle-htad-ed idiots why wheut has risen. No MniilpulHtlou. There has been no manipulation about It. In fact, the speculators have bttm positively dazed nt the advance. A other thing which has indirectly mad wheat rise is the fact that the Cipott demand has been so heavy Uot it has been found Impossible tm send all that was required. All taa freight room on European steamer hM been engaged up to January. The explanation of the decline in all is as easily accounted for ns the rhia la wheat. Soon after Bryan's nomlnatlea) the free-silver shooters kicked ud ana a rumpus that speculators both here aad abroad thought there was some chaneo of his suet-ess, and silver ndvnnced o speculative buying to about 70 cents aa ounce. It was not long, however, before the holders became convinced that Bry an's chances of success were nooeles, and they at once began to get "rid of their loads. Consequently, as more and more holders of silver saw that the hud paid a good price for n white ele phant, and sickened of their bargala, the price of silver gradually sank unfit today it is quoted at 04 cents an ounce This is considerably lower than It wi early last summer', when it was thought Improbable that the Democratic party would come nut flat-footed for the free coinnge of silver.

Wla, BRYAN'S GREAT SILVER TRUST. Consptrary of Maltl-Mllllooalre Mine Owner to Rob the American People. New York World (Dem.): The World showed yesterday that some of the mines produced silver at a cost of only 38 cents n ounce. The cost in other mines rangea upward to about 60 cents an ounce. As this silver is worth In the market CO to 67 cents an ounce the mar gin of profit is easily seen to be a very heavy ooe 10 to 20 per cent. Moreover, some of the mines represent no actual investment whatever. Count ing "water" and all. the Elkhorn mine has a nominnl capital of only $1,000,000. It has paid dividends amounting to $1. 212.000. The Granite Mountain is nomi nally capitalized at $10,000,000. It baa already returned in dividends to its stockholders $12,120,000. Other mines show enormous profits on investments that are largely fictitious. Vet the multi-millionaires who own these properties coolly ask the people oi the country to pay them incalculable mil lions of additional profit by coining each !(( cents' worth of their product inte $1.2!) worth of legal tender money. They ask the country thus almost ex actly to double to them the market price of a product already so profitable that It pays them millions every year to produce it. So far ns they are concerned free coin age would do precisely this. It would enable them to pay a dollar of wages or debt with 51 cents' worth of silver. How far the process would enhance the general value of the silver dollar uo man can know. But this much is clear: livery penny of the advance, be it much or little, must be paid out of the peo ple's earnings, while every penny of th difference between the new price of sil ver and its mint price will represent se much of robbery from creditors and toil ers. In brief, this great silver trust ia a conspiracy among a hundred or so multi millionaire mine-owners to rob the pub lic and to levy a tribute upon the wages of everyone who works. Is there any conceivable reason why any workingman. any savings bank de positor, any holder of a life insurance policy, or any other honest man shonli vote for this ring's programme? EIGHT.
