A friend of mine had a favorite
black horse which he always visited
in the loose bos every morning:, car
rying a lump of sugar. One day a
friend drove on a visit, and the
guest's horso was placed in a neigh
boring stall. The following morning,
on Ids visit to the stable, my friend
thoughtlessly gave the sugar to the
stranger and turned round to caress
his own hot?.' llo was met with the
nio.it excited neighing, plunging and I
kicking, aud. the horso triad to gut
out of the loose box at him. , It was
weeks before he dared to drive It, for
if ho approached It, when liarnes9ed
eyeu, it tried to kick and bite hint,
At, length, by getting his wife to ac
company him ajid to present the
.sugar, iie "wheedled" himself Into
the horse's gotxl graces. Truly, Jeal
ou-y is a fearsome thing, and that of
his horse was nearly us terrible as
that of the "spurned lieauty," which
led to tlie Trojan war.
Mr. Watson, in his "Reasoning
Power of Animals," mentions the
.'ollowing. A gentleman was one
evening in the full enjoyment of a
pleasing dinner party at his own
house. It so happened that a glass
door oHned from the dining room
upon the lawn. Pushing open this
door a most extraordinary and (in
bidden visitor entered the room
starting up, the amazed company
beheld a quadruped which had never
entered that room before. The gen'
tlenian advanced and recognized one
of his favorite mares, which, un
daunted by the blaze of light and the
crowding round her of the astonished
guests, showed by voice and manner
some strange emotion. Her master
went up to the animal, which trotted
off, uttering a lieculiar cry. It was
determined to ascertain the cause of
the mare's strange conduct. She was
followed to a field, and the motive of
her unwonted behavior was quickly
ascertained. II vr foal hail got entitn
gletl in bog and briars, and the
alarmed mother had adopted this ef
fective mode of obtaining aid."
A similar instance rarae under my
own notice, but with a remarkable
variation. A farmer and his family
returning from church one Sunday
afternoon noticed their horse, lreliaV'
ing very strangely in the field. As
soon as lie saw them he came up to
the, fence and "whinnied" in piteous
tones. The owner entered the Held
and the horse at oneo trotted off.
neighing in a different tone, and
looking back to see whethe. the far
mer was following. At last he stop-
lied at a pond in a corner of the field,
used for watering cattle, and there
was a favorite cow imbedded In the
mud. The law, which even the
Pharisees observed, was fulfilled, and
the horse stood by In interested si
lence, in all reverence be it recalled
that there Is a certain story called
"TheOisid Samaritan."
the medium of exchange will
more and more felt.
The Sherman law, before its repeal,
wa putting Into the haadi of the
people mouihty a large sum of circu
lating SMtdiuoi iaas.reiulag rapidly
tit per capita amount uf monvy or
what was and Is passing currant at Its
fao as money.
This waa a good thing for the bust'
ness of the country. It would have
been going on until now, and with
absolute safety, had Harrison, in
stead of Cleveland, been elected pres
ident in 18V2. But the turning over
ot the country Into the hands of its
commercial enemies paralyzed bual
ness unsettled confidence, and made
ntwesaary the repeal of the Sherman
purchasing act. Under the circutn-
stancc this bad to be done to save
bout two-thirds, of all our dreulatlug
tnexuum, -jjrer coin and the repre
sentatives of silver coin, from going
down from face value to less than
half face value.
But, with CGuQdence restored, this
country can take Into circulation and
maintain at par, and will actually
need, silver coin enough to use up all
the American product that will hot
be taken to be melted up for the arts.
Upon Its accession to power, two
years from oext'March, this question
will confront the republican party
nd It will take hold of it Intelligent-
ly and courageously, and solve It
satisfactorily. Oregon Statesman
PRICE' OF WHEAT.
WHATJT MUSS.
The meaning of the late election is
so plain that no person of ordinary
intelligence can fall to understand it,
There are no local and superficial
masons to account for a result that
extends over the whole country with
uniform effect. It clearly represent
a general feeling, a sentiment due to
conditions and tendencies exbtlng In
all the states. That is to say, the
same cause that operated to defeat
Hill In New York operated to defeat
Wilson in West Virginia, and to give
advantages to the republicans every
where. The people of all sections
went to the polls with common Itn
pulses and purposes; and the verdict
that they rendered is to be Inter
preted as a repudiation of the dem
ocratic party because of its demon
strated unfitness for the work of con
ducting the affairs of the ' govern
ment. When they voted two years
ago to restore that party to power,
they supposed that it would honestly
strive to deserve their confidence,
and that It was capable of dealing
with Important questions in an in
telligent and businesslike manner.
In this expectation they were cruel
ly and shamefully 1 disappointed.
They have learned by experience
that they made a monstrous mistake
in exchanging republican for derao-
oeratic rule. This, fact has-been
brought home to them by the serious
and widespread succession of misfor
tunes; and it is impossible to make
them believe that such a condition of
things would have ensued if the elec
tion of 1892 had resulted differently
There is no escape from the con'
elusion that the democratic party
stands condemned by a large mi
)orlty ef the voters as a failure. Its
attempt to carry on the government
has gone to show that It is Inherently
and hopelessly incompetent. The
absence of constructive ability is ap
parent in all of lu proceeding. It
has lieen so long pursuing a policy of
negation, obstruction and demolition
that it baa forfeited what power it
may once have possessed to perform
affirmative and profitable service.
That is why the people have risen
up 'n their impatience and indigna
tion, and repudiated it In ouch a tre
mendous and conclusive fashion
Tbey. have discovered that a party
which has spent over thirty years In
trying to tear things down la not
equal to the task of suddenly revers
ing lt habits and practices, and be
coming a force of practical usefulness,
The party thus ascertained to be un
worthy of respect and support, and
declared against accordingly, is not
likely to regain the favor that it has
lost. Its defeat this year means that
it will be (defeated again two yean
hence, and henceforth kept out of
power for an indefinite period. There
Ls no such thing as a second trial in
case of this kind. The people have
spoken not simply for the present oc
casion, but with reference to the
future, also, and nobody now living
can reasonably expect ever to see
another national democratic victory.

IdTyOB of, wheat. U due. to, the. over-
pJvduvtloA of tbt.commodUyl and
some writers have gone so .far as to
congratulate the.pub.llu upon the fact
(hat wheat Is so cheap, arguing that
: heap wheat means cheap bread, and
heap bread means locretised saving",
and Jlncreased savings mean geueral
prosperity and. a stimulus to Indus
trial activity. We regret that we
re unable to take as roseate a view
of the situation as this, for low prices
on cereals, however benetlcla) they
may be to the consumer, are ruinous
to our agricultural population, and
we fall to see how Industrial activity
U to be stimulated w.heu the farmers
and planters and the classes depend
ent on theai have no money with
which to buy the products of the
manufacturers. To an unbiased ob
server it looks very much as If a
large portion of the purchasing com
munity upon whom industrial actlv
tlvlty depends were In imminent
danger of bankruptcy, owing to our
suicidal financial policy, by which,
in adopting a steadily increasing gold
standard, we have turned plentiful
harvests into what is rapidly ap
proaching a natlonalklisaster.

Cheap bread . is, undoubtedly, a
great boon to the. working classes,
but if it is the. result of ruin and
almost total t extinction of the agri
cultural classea, representing over 50
per cent of .our population, the boon
may be obtained at too great a sacri
fice and. must eventually affect all
classes of our wago-earners.
We are told that overproduction is
the cause of the present low prices,
but thus far no sufficiently strong ev
idence has been produced to enable us
to say that this assertion Is true. Com
petition has undoubtedly depressed
the price of wheat, other cereals and
cotton, especially the competition of
silver-using countries,, but foreign
competition Is not necessarily an in
terchangeable term for overproduc
tion. The wheat product of the ten
principal wheat-growing countries of
the world for the past fifteen years,
according to the Corn Trade, is as

At a meeting of the British ami
Colouial chamber of commerce, held
in ixitidon in 1880, Sir Robert
Fowler, a member of parliament, a
banker aud ex-mayor of London,
made the following assertion : "The
effect of the depreciation of silver
must Anally he the ruin of the wheat
and cotton Industries of America and
the development of India as the chief
wheat and cotton exjmrter of the
world." We believe that the farmers
and plauters of. the United Stab
will testify in favor of the correctness
of the gentlemaa's prediction.
The Buenos Ayres Standard makes I
the signitlcaut assertion that in the
Argentine Republic the owners of
tarms on a large scale can, with the

profit on the trausaetion. It is nuitc
possible, therefore, that bottom has
not yet been touched, and that this
appreciation of gold will be accohi
panied by even further calamity for
our unnappy agriculturists.
Now, u u less there Is some serious
error In the flgurea we have quoted,
we are certainly forced to the oon-
elusion that the principal cause of

appreciation of our monetary stan

We do not lay special stress upon
the fact that production for the years
1882 and 1884 were nearly as great
as that of ,1893 and 1894, but would
call the attention of our readers to
the fact that the average price in
New York of wheat for 188:. was
$1.19 per bushel and the price of
silver fl.18 per ounce, while in 1884
tho average price of wheat In New
York per bushel was $1.07 ami of
silver per ounce $1.01, and in 1893
the price of wheat was 68. cents per
bushel in said city and silver 75
cents per ounce, while for the present
year we are painfully aware that the
low price of both wheat aud silver
has broken all previous records.
We would rail the attention of our
readers, howevr-, to .the. fact that
during the last decade the population
of the wheat-eating countries has
enormously increased, and it seems
to us that the theory of overproduc
tion must be slightly weakened, if
not entirely annihilated by the fol
lowing tablo published in the leading
agricultural Journal of the world ;

It will thus be seen that there has
been a decrease per capita In the
production of both wheat and rye,
and under an application of the laws
of supply and demand the price of
these two commodities have risen,
Instead of having fallen, as it has
done quite 60 per cent.
Obviously then we must ask of the
advocate, of the single gold standard
for some other cause and explanation
of low prices than that of overpro
duction, and the simplest explanation
of our preseut anomolous condition
to one even slightly acquainted with
the elementary principles underlying
political economy ami conversant
with the present condition of the
wheat-producing and wheat-consum
ing countries of the world must be
the demonetisation of silver and the

Kate Field, reviewing ex-Prest
dent Harrison's great speech made
In New York before tho election,
says what she likes about it is his
summing up of the democratic party.
lor thirty years an irrestionsible
party, it was given full power Jn
1892 and platform makers were
called to the uoacvustomed duly of
making laws. "The trouble now Is,"
said General Harrison, "that the
democratic party is an Incoherent
party." This is the reason why the
majority of the people are weary of
of it. There can be no peace without
stability. There can be no stability
where Ithere Is contradiction,' dissen
sion and disunion. It Is not what
has been done with the tariff but
what may be done that frightens
capital. When General Harrison
likened democracy to a grasshopper
because of all Insects it is the most
without an objective point, he made
forcible illustration to which he
gave additional emphasis by adding
that "he who would ride In a coach
would do well to look to the team as
well as the driver ; and it is absolute
ly essential to the safety and comfort
of the passengers that the driver and
the horses should have the same ob
jective point."

Colonel Tom Towlos, of Missouri,
chief clerk of the house of representa
tives, was traveling ,baek to Wash
ington after the election in an Incon
spicuous and unobtrusive way, when
some one touched him on tho arm.
He tuined and saw Senator Vest, his
hat drawn down over his face, his
shoulders elevated a little higher
than usual, and the tawny mustache
bristling over itightly compressed
lips. The senator didn't speak. The
two campaigners eyed each other a
few moments, and then Colonel
Towles asked :
"Who are you, anyway?"
"Blest if I know who I am," waa
the reply.
Well, said Towles, after another
pause, "senator, 1 congratulate you."
"Congratulate me?" retorted tho
senator with a growl. "I'd like to
know, why I am to be congratu
lated."
"Because," said Towles, "from
what few returns I have seen I Hud
that where you made speeches in
Missouri we ran alout a thousand
worse behind than where you
didn't."
The senator took a short turn
down tho platform, and when bo
came back he said :
"There's too much truth In that to
be amusing."
Well," continued Towles, "su-
pose wo go into tho car and talk it
over."
"No," said the senator positively,
"we'll not talk it over. I'll not talk
it over with anybtrdy. I'll not even
talk to my wife about it. If I did
I'm afraid I'd whip her.
1'he senator was on his way to

expressed it, "of Itoiling some of the

Russia has more than twice the area
