Complete Statement of the Fluctuation! Noted In thlB Country Daring Twenty-Ktgbt Xears.

the United States department of agriculture, late special agent of the eleventh census in charge of the statistics agriculture, ,has Issued the following very valuable facts on silver and wheat. His paper Says: In the twenty-eight years ending June SO, 1895, the United States exported more than two billions (2,065,224,154) of bushels of wheat and 219,062,112 barrels of flour, all of it of domestic production an* equivalent in the aggregate to more than three billions (3,067,027,103) of bushels of wheat. For these enormous exports it received over three billions (3,193,823,495) of dollars in gold or its equivalent, the average export price for the entire period being $1,041 per bushel in gold.

The expression "in gold" is used because !rom the beginning of the period under conilderation down to the end of 1878 the prices of all commodities were expressed In currency that was continually fluctuating in value. While not nearly so low as during the crtical stages of the war, the currency dollar was still worth only from 69.7 cent3 to 74.3 cents in 1867, from 82.4 cents to 90.3 cents in 1870, and so on until, at the end of 1878, the approaching resumption of specie payments- raised it to par. During the first few years of the period under consideration. $3 In currency was worth very little more than $2 of the money of the other civilized nations of the world to whom we were disposing of our immence surplus stocks and from whom we were purchasing such commodities as we ourselves were in need of. Before, therefore, the prices of American products at any time from 1862 to 1878 can be compared with the prices of similar articles in other countries or at other times, they have to be reduced to their value in the money of commerce.

Dividing the period under consideration (1867 to 1895) into five terms of five years each, and one term, the last, of three years, we get the following result:

Totals 3,067,027,903 $3,193,823,495 The most noteworthy feature of the foregoing table, next to its stupendous aggregates, is the fact that it was not during the five years immediately preceding 1873, but from 1877 to 1882 that we received the highest average price per bushel, $1.1934. During that period our exports were larger than at any other time in the twenty-eight years under consideration. Our wheat was not brought into the same active competition with the wheat of other countries that it has since had to encounter. It was in great demand, and, in obedience to a law es Inexorable as the law of gravitation, its price rose to even a higher average than prevailed from 1867 to 1872.

But it is not true that during this last mentioned period, 18S7 to 1872, wheat rose to an exceedingly high price. Was. it not the case that throughout almost the entire first half of 1868 No. 1 spring wheat was worth in Chicago from $1.93 to $2.15 per bushel, and No. 2 from $1.80 to $2.10%, currency prices? That is true, and it is a fact which the wheat grower is not In the least danger of forgetting. But he does not so readily remember, nor is he so frequently reminded, that before the end of the following year (1869) No. 1 spring wheat was worth in the same market only from 83 cents to 88 cents, and No. 2 from 76% cents to 80 cents per bushel, currency prices, equivalent only to from 63 cents to 72% cents per bushel in gold, and this when silver was worth $1,325 per ounce, or 15.6 to 1. This period of low prices lasted about eight months and was brought to an end not by any change in the value of silver, nor by any legislation affecting the currency, but simply by the breaking out of the war between France and Germany, which paralyzed the agricultural operations of two of the greatest nations of the world and aided slightly by deficient harvests in one or two other countries, speedily sent up the price of wheat In Liverpool thirty cents a bushel. In the United States wheat began to rise the moment war was seen to be inevitable, and within sixty days it had advanced 30 cents per bushel and flour $1.25 per barrel. The net result of these various oscillations in values was that rather less than $1.17 per bushel constituted the average export price of wheat in the United States during the five years ending June 30,1872.

The second period of five fiscal »years extends from July 1, 1S72, to June 30, 1877. This is one of the perlo.is that witnessed an extraordinary impu'se to wheat growing in the United States. The acreage devoted to wheat In this country In 1876 was nearly 7,000,000 acres (or more than one-third) greater than in 1872. and the crop of 1877 was 114,000,000 bushels (or nearly one-half) greater thau the crop of 1872. The annual requirements of our own population had not increased in the meantime to the extent of more than 25,000,000 bushels, and had it not been for the astonishing capacity of foreign nations to absorb our surplus production, a big drop In prices would inevitably have occurred. As it was, however, the average export price for the entire period showed a falling off of less than 3 cents per bushel, as compared with the preceding five years.

The period from July. 1877, to June, 1S82, has already been referred to. The average price of wheat during these five years was 5.2 cents per bushel higher than the average of the preceding five years, and even higher by 2.38 cents p?r bushel than during the period from 1867 to 1872, which preceded the so-called demonetization of silver. The reason Is to be found in a serious failure of crops in western Europe. The years 1S79-'S1 yielded in the United Kingdom the smallest crops of any three years since 1352, and It was regarded as a matter of great satisfaction in that country that an abundant surplus in the United States prevented the prices of wbeit and flour from rising any higher th*n they did. It Is worthy of note that in 1867-'6S the failure of the crops in Great Britain, which the United States was not able to make good out of its own surplus, caused an advance in the price of no less than 42 cents per bushel. The still more complete crop failure of 1879-81, however, was at once made good by enormous importations (the largest on record ®ven down to the present time) from A&tin&ed-States, and the price of vgieat In the,JfclM* Kingdom rw on

not be dlspjuted, sad they tare & tremendoiis significance In showing how prices are made.

This brings UB to the beginning of an eft that, notwithstanding certain marked oscillations, may be described as one of gradually falling prices. The average prices on the farorln 1SS2 and 1883, and again in 1888, 1890 and 1890, were substantially higher than the average in 1878, and for the crops of the five years 1887-'91, taken coi-

JVashlngton, Oct. 19.—Mr. John Hyde, of lectively, the farmer received nearly 2 cents per bushel more than for the crops of the iyears 18B2-'86. The general tendency, however, w$ts clearly downward.

As the principal bread plant of all civilized nations, wheat is a product the price of which is peculiarly sensitive to temporary Influences. For that reason it can be considered most advantageously and most fairly in periods of five years, a period sufficiently long to reduce minor oscillations to their true relative importance and yet not too long to show the effect of any really significant moijement.

On examining in detail the statistics for this period we find that the exports of wheat in 1882 and 1883 averaged 60,000,000 bushels less than in 1881, the very first year of the period we are now considering being, thus marked by an enormous falling off in the demands of foreign countries for our wheat. The American farmrfr had, however, become so thoroughly imbued with the Idea that the capacity of fpreign nations to absorb our surplus production was practically unlimited that he continued for ten years longer to raise wheat in steadily increasing quantities, the production from 1882 to 1886 being more than 137,000,000 bushels greater than in the preceding five years, and that from 1887 to 1891 greater again by over 121,000,000 bushels than from 1882 to 1886. Had production, stood still in other countries its increase in the United States would not, of Itself, have brought down prices but at the same time that it was increasing rapidly in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Kansas, California and elsewhere, Russia, India and Argentina were all adding largely to the wheat supply of the world. Russia's exports of 371,250,000 bushels from 1882 to 1886 increased to 527,210,000 bushels during' this next five years. This Increase has continued with a brief intermission down to the present time, and the exports from Russia last year amounted to no less than 145,996,000 bushels. Prior to 18S1 the wheat exports of British India were totally insignificant, but from 1882 to 1891 that country sent to the markets of the world the large aggregate of 327,394,024 bushels. Equally remarkable has been the increase in the exports of wheat from Argentina. From 1882 to 1886, inclusive, they amounted to only 11,662,221 bushels, but In the succeeding five years they Increased to 44,290,506 bushels, while in the four years last past (1892 to 1895) they have reached a total of no less than 158.192,933 bushels. Even Canada, that in 1884, 1889 and 1890 was an importing country, has, ddring the last four years, poured ino the already bursting granaries of the world over 40,000,000 bushels of wheat. Nor must it be supposed for a moment that all the great wheat consuming nations of the world have materially curtailed their own production. While this has been the case in the United Kingdom, Austria-Hungary, Germany and France have, within the last half dozen years, produced some of the largest crops in their history.

It is also important to note that the new supplies of wheat have been sent to the world's markets mainly from countries where the cost of production—or at least the cost of subsistence, which has the same cheapening effect—and a very considerable one—upon prices. In the face of such facts as the foregoing, it would surely be 'ridiculous to discuss seriously the contention that it is the fall In the price' of silver that has caused the fall in the price of wheat. That both have declined is true enough, but that the noncorrespondence in their decline has been sufficient to make their relation a matter of the gravest doubt, even had we no other satisfactory explanation of the fall In wheat. This will be best Illustrated by the following table, in which one hundred is assumed to represent the average price of each of the commodities during the flrst five years undf»r consideration:

It will be seen from the foregoing table that while during the flrst fifteen years of the period under consideration (including the years from 1873 to 1882) silver fellmore than 18 cents per dunce, or 14 per cent., wheat advanced about 2% cents per bushel, or 2 per cent, and that while during the last ninety days silver has fallen 4 cents an ounce, wheat, owing to deficient harvests in other countries, has advanced from 64 cents to 78 cents per bushel.

MRS. PRICE'S SUICIDE.

The Death of Her Lover, Whose Name Is Not Given, the Cause of It. Philadelphia, Oct. 19.—Mrs. Amy A. Price, a young widow, formerly employed as a stenographer for a New York firm, committed suicide during the night by shooting herself in the left breast, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Webb, in this city. The suicide is surrounded by romantic and pathetic circumstances. Mrs. Price came to Philadelphia last evening apparently intent upon ending her life. The ttagedy is said to be due to' the death of her fiance on last Man*, day, whose name is not given. The mother of the dead woman is in a critical state Of health and should she learn of Mrs. Price's suicide it might cause her death also. The dead woman is described as having been a beauty of the blonde type.

About six years ago she was divorced from "Billy" Price, assistant manager of the Bumak Theater, L03 Angeles, Cal. She was a Journalist by profession and contributed to several New York and Western papers. When she arrived at her sister's house she partook of a meal and then retired to a room on the second floor. Shortly afterward the report of a reviver was heard, and going to the room Mrs. Price was found on the lounge dead, with a bullet wound through her left breast. She was attired in her night robe.

Halfback Dibble Is Insane\.

North Adams, Mass., Oct. 19.—C. W. Dibble, Williams Colkge's phenomfenal halfback, is in a very critical condition, said to be the result of an injury to his forehead, received while playing football. He sprained Ms ankle in a game at Williamstown, October 10th, and has since been in North Adams with relatives. He was sitting In a chair yesterdiy morning, when suddenly he thiew up his hands and screamed, "Give me that ball!" He had become demented and the efforts of several persons were required to put him to bed.

A physician did all that was possible, but the mania does not subside. He imagines he Is in a game, and tosses wildly about the bed and shouts for the ba'l. An abscess of the brain Is thought to be the probable cause.

Dibble was captain of Lawrencevllle (N. j.) Academy last year. He played left half on Williams, and was one of the mcst promising backs In the country. His recovery Is doubtful.

Chairman Hanna and his co-workers give these figures in a statement issued from the literary bure&u Saturday. It was prepared by the experts, and Is In part an analysis of the figures given out recently by. Chairman Jones of the Popocratto national committee.

"This is, of course, a practical admission on the part of the officials of the Democratic party who prepared this table that they do not expect to carry for president the states in which they can carry few, if any, congressmen.

Having Mr.'Hanna's aproval, these prognostications are considered important aa shoeing just what the leaders think of, the Situation at this particular time. Here Is the statement: »w« "For the flrst time in the history of the campaign the PopocratiC leaders practically concede the defeat of their presidential candidate by their own claims. It has been suspected tor some time that they had abandoned Mr. Bryan and were concentrating their energies upon an attempt to contrql congress, and a statement Issued by their leaders within the last few days confirms that suspicion. "The managers at the Washington office of the silver Democracy gave to the press for publication on Thursday a table showing the number of members of the house of representatives which they assert they expect to elect That table claimed but eight of the twenty-two members from Illinois, five of toe twelve members from Michigan,- Ave of tfye thirty-four members from New York, four of the eleven" from Iowa, three out of twentyOne from Ohio, two out of thirty in Pennsylvania, two out of ten in Wisconsin, one from Massachusetts, one from New Jersey, end none from the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont. "It goes without saying that a party Which admits that it cannot elect more than onethird to one-sixth of the membersiof congress from any given State has nb expectation of carrying that Btate for- the presidential nominee. Usually candidates for congress poll a larger number of votes than the presidential candidate, since every man has his personal friends, to whom he can appeal for the certain support which they would not give for party reasons. "The claim as to membership in the nest house, made by the silver Democratic managers in Washington, and given to the press for public distribution, is as follows:

Thus the official statement of the silver Democratic calculators only requires the addition of fourteen votes from their doubtful colu to insure McKlnley's election. Among those states which the Popocratic managers do not already thus concede to McKinley the Republican managers are absolutely confident of carrying the following additional sure Re publican states:

BRYANIC DECEPTION.

Cltr.

But they aslc us how we are going to get hold of this money, even It there Is more. It is a rery easy Question to answer. It is true that you cannot get money unless you have something to sell, but it is just as true that every producer of wealth has something to sell and the price he gets for what he has to sell depends upon how mtofch money there is to buy what he has to: sell When a man asks you how you arp going to get any of the money unless you have something to sell let me give you a ques tlon to ask him. Suppose I have something to sell. How am I going to get anything for it until I find somebody with money to buy what I have to sell."—W. J. Bryan at Nashville, Tenn.

Now, with free coinage of silver, how does Mr. Bryan expect to put more fnoney In ciiv culation? He admits that we cannot obtain money unless you have something to sell, then to get more money In use the farmers of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and the producers of manufactured articles in the East must first sell their products to the men who bold this new coined bullion. In other words, the distributors Of this vast amount of money we are to have under free coinage, must necessarily be the capitalists who own the bullion and the employes of the mlnesi Is not this proposition contray to reasont Over 70,000,000 people will have to wait#*-? tiently for 60,000 people to dig, coin• and spend enough sliver to create prosperity. Mr. Bryan further states In this same speech that there is no use Of opening the mills until we have money enough to buy what the mills produce. The number of hands employed in the silver mines is about 57,000, the annual wages paid Is $45,000,000 so, according to Bryan's theory, 3,000,000 mill hands will be compelled to lie In Idleness until 57,000 miners earn and put in circulation enough money to buy what the mills produce. In 1892, under McKinley tariff, th^products of the factories of this country amounted to 17,000,000,000, the wages' in this year paid silver miners amounted to $45,000,000 and the coining value of the silver produced was $217,000,000. Now, assuming that the wages paid, and all the coined bullion is put Into circulation, It would take twenty-seven years for our Western friends to put money enough in use to purchase one year's product of the factories. So, taking Mr. Bryan's word for It, It will not be pol icy to start the wheels short of twenty-seven years. But the voters In these great middle and Eastern states will not be deceived by these absurd statements and they will speak in such convincing language on November 3d that William Jennings Bryan will never again have the courage to appeal to them. Frank G. Duncan,

Qrant, of Secretary Fish, and upon the honor of a man whose fame is dearer to :ie than my life, my brother, Judge E. R. Hoar. All three of these men, in a public letter, and Judge Hoar in a speech, have said that there was not a word of truth in the story. Judge Hoar was attorney general at the time, Fish was secretary of state, and Grant was president. The two justices referred to, Justices Bradley and Strong, were appointed to fill vacancies on the bench, and the former was of particularly high ability, and both of unexceptionable character. They were of the ablest and purest men in the country. These men were nominated liefore the legal dcision was made. It was absolutely impossible, in the order of events, that they could have been nominated for the purpose of packing the

Supreme Court. There

was not a Republican lawyer In the country who did not believe that the legal tender decision was right. Every Supreme Court in the North had decided that the legal teuder act was constitutional.

Senator Hoar closed with nn affirmation of the outrage of the charge thor the court had been packed, and of his indignation that it had been brought up again.'
