two weeks, from 53 cents toC7cents,
is u wonderful phenomenon in the
eiuatiiii of international trade.
There i nothing lictitioua about the
event, hince it appears to be based
upon very legitimate considerations.
The a lvmce is a very great thing to
our farmers, who have been Llessed
with a very gratifying crop, while
other exporting regions appear to
have fallen below. The apprehen
sion of wur, resulting in the view of
Ituhsi.-iii exporters, in the closing of
the Jiliiek Sea may also Lave been a
factor in the advance, ttut, what
ever the reason, the rise is a sub
stantial good.

Tns fra dlTtr orators tell the farmer
that th prtoa of silver ragulate the price
of whoat and cotton. Yet during the latt
thirty dayi whuat and ootton have very
greatly Increased In price, while silver hat
utaadlly declined.
The rimple fact Is that the prloe of ill
verhae no more to do with the prloeef
farm product than have the ohangna of
the moon. Silver is not tho monetary
standard In which price are measured.
Its price, therefore, has no function what
ever to perform ia regulating er even la
measuring the prtoe of other commodities.
Mr. Bhvax defines aa honest dollar as
"a dollar of which the pnrchaelag power
would be stable." Stable from what (later
Would he have Its purchasing power
uioasurod by wheat at I1.B5 a bushel and
e-'ttou at 11H oents a pound, as the prloes
were In lHSOr That would be hard on the
worklngnwn always to pay high prloes
for food and clothing. Or would he have
the purchasing power of the dollar made
"stable" when wheat was vorth only CO
cents and ootton 0? That weald be hard
on the faruiur. Do the froe silver advo
