WHEAT AND SILVER.
The great burden of the lamenta
tion of ' the. free silver advocate is,
that the "demonetization" ' of silver
has ruined the price of wheat and the
remonetization of silver will restore
the price of wheat, and to satisfy him
self and all who are unable to under
stand his argument, he talks about
EHgland buying silver at G7 cents !
per ounce, converting it into rupees
and selling it to the wheat raisers of
India at the rate of $1.37 per ounce,
thereby reaping a profit of 70 cents,
and getting wheat at a bargain aisb.
The plan is 'to "remonetize" silver
thereby raiting the price of the sil
ver of the world to 81-29 per ounce
and cutting off this profit of the
blood j' Englishman. If this could
be done then how would our farmer
get any more than new for. his wheat?
A dollar in silver would cost as much
wheat as a dollar in gold does now.
But an examination of the price of
wheat in this country from 1868 to
1895 and the statistics concerning the
export of wheat during that same"
period by the princfpal wheat pro
ducing countries of the world, shows
that the price of wheat is entirely in
dependent of the price of silver.
The figures here presented are taken
from statistics prepared by B. W.
Snow, for many years assistant statis
. tician of the department of agricul
ture. The prices are on a gold basis
and are the average for the several
.five year periods. The price of wheat
is the exrort priee per bushel. ;: .'

It will be observed that during the
second period, the first after the "de
monetization," silver tell 8.9 . cents
and wheat rose 12 cents, as compared
with the first, period. During the
thiid period silver fell 9.7 cents J and
wheat rose 13.3 cents as, cbmpnred
with the second period, and: during
this third period wheat was 25.3 cents
higher than before the -'great crime.
Durins the fourth period silver fell
ii.d cents ana wneat lb. 4 cents as
compared with - the. third period.
During the fifth period silver fell 9.6
cents and wbeat,3,4 cents, and daring
the sixth period silver fell 26.6 cents
and wheat 20.5 cems. Silver has
continued to fall steadily since the
first period, not on account of the
"crime but on account of greater
production and demonetization, by
the nations of Europe. Wheat con
tinued to rise until some time during
78 Second Street.
the period from 1878 to 1883.
During the first period the United
States furnished 44.2 per cent Of ail
the wheat exported by Russia, Indie,
Argentina and the United States.
Russia furnished 55.1, India 0.7 per
cent, while Argentina furnished an
inconsiderable fraction. From 1873
to 1877 the percentages were as fol
lows: United States 55.1, Russia
41.5, India 3.4, Argentina inconsid
erable. From 1878 to 1882 the
United States furnished 64.9, Russia
28.8, Iudia G.l and Argentina 0.2.
From 1883 to 1887 the United States
furnished 53, Russia 30.7, India 14.6
and Argentina 2.7. From 1888 to
1892 the United Slates furnished
48.6, Russia 34.8, India 12.4 and
Argentina 4.2. From 1893 to 1895
the United States furnished 48.3,
Russia 32.4, India 6.2 and Argentina
13.1. ' ' ' .
But the total export for these
countries during the first period was,
annually, a little ovei 92,000,000
bushels. This annual average in
creased rapidly during oil this time,
and in 1893 to 1895 aggregated over
355,590,000 bushels per annum.
From 1883-87 we produced 53 per
cent of the whole export of the
wheat producing countries, and oar
average annual output which in the
first period was a little over 42,000,"-
000 bushels, during the last period
exceeded 167,000,000 bushels. Prior
to 1878 "we were the largest export
ers and our competitors were Russia
and India only ; but India's output
was then small. Now e compete
with. Russia, India and Argentina,
and Russia furnishes almost as large a
proportion as we do, while Argentina
furnishes more than double what In
dia does, ' These figures show the ;
utter' fallacy of the Indian rupee
tnlk,'and also show that the price of
silver does not control the wrice of
wheat. The only truth in the whole
argument is ihe premise that the
price of wheat and silver are now
both low; but the prices of the two
products are no more dependent
upen each other. than the price of sil
ver and of horses.
The reservation inspector has left

in regard to the matter, and stock

LATIN AND GERMAN TAUGHT.
... GERMAN.
The undersigned desires to organize a class in
Germau. Every America:! citizen who can af
lord both time and expense ought to be master
of at least two languages. The German language
ha many advantages over modern languages on
account of her profound Uterature in all branch
es of ancient and modern science produced in
her world-renowned universities. Those who
would drink from these inexhaustible and vet
unadulteiated fountains of knowledge, must
master the language which contains the key to
them. The undersigned wiU organize a class in
German, and will begin with actual work on the
first day of beptember. The da's will meet two
or three times a week In the evening or when
most convenient to the upils. Rapid progress
guaranteed to those who will get down to earn
est labor. All who desire to participate in this
work will please announce their Intention to
the underMgned at an early date, as the class
will be limited to a certain number. Charges
will bevtry reasonab'e.
LATIN. '
The undersigned will also organize a class In
latin. There are so many reasons why those
who desire to advance their knowledge beyond a
common school education should take at least a
coarse In Latin, that probably everybody is fa
miliar with at least some of them. I will not
take space here to speak of the beauties of the
Latin language nor of the many advantages In
life possessed by those who have mastered it. I
will here onlv announce my Intention to organ
ize a c ass in latin. Rapid progress guaranteed
to those who will work hard, charges very rea
sonable. All desiring instruction in Latin are
kindly requested to announce their intention to
the undersigned before Beptember, if possible.
Awaiting yiur appUcaUon, I am, very respect
fully yours. L. GREY,
