Wheat continues to go up without any reference to silver. It has been selling in New York and

Chicago of late at prices ranging from $1.13 to sl.lß. On the day that President McKinley was inaugurated it sold in New York at 93§ cents. On the day of McKinley’s election, it was 86f cents. At the date of Bryan’s nomination, it was 64£ cents. Two years after Cleveland’s inauguration, it was 58J cents, and in October of 1894, just after the adoption of Wilson tariff, it was 54f cents per bushel, less than half of its present price.

MDf the ten soldier Presidents of the United States, whose services in that office covered practically forty years of the existence of the Republic, William McKinley is the fiist to call the nation to arms. Nine men who had seen active military service have preceded him as Chief Executive, several of them serving two terms, yet it was reserved for this man, who entered the service of the nation as a private soldier at the age of seventeen and rose step by step, as a result of active and gallant service upon the field of battle, thus realizing the full meaning of the step, to issue the first soldier’s call to war. Washington, Jackson, Harrison, Taylor, Pierce, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, and Harrison, formerly occupants of the White House, were all military men; all generals, yet not one of them was called upon to assume the responsibility and duties which now devolve upon William McKinley, private soldier, sergeant, lieutenant, and at the close of his service, major.
