offiMN In the Cincinnati l iitilror | an e.v-
lilanntlon of why wheat advanced ,
lie state * that our American wheat lias
suffered from the competition In the
Liverpool tnnrket.t of the wheat pro
duction of sliver countries , notably
India. The wheat crop having failed
In India , HO that that country Is com
pelled to Import , "the result Is that on
llu Liverpool market our American
win at. Indian competition being re
moved , has risen In price. " Mr. New-
lands suggests that when the normal
wheat crop of India Is restored the old
competition will be renewed.
Now , as u matter of fact this compe
tition has never been great and Is not
likely to be so In the future. India's
wheat exports began to dwindle several
years ago and have reached a point
where , even without the drawback of a
ctop failure , they ceased to be of any
Importance. In isitl India supplied
' .real llrltaln with Ut.ooii.ooo hundred
weights of wheat. In ISIIU with lU.ritm. .
0W ( , In INKS with i ! , _ ' < Hiiton and In IS'.M
with r.oii : ! ) 100. In 1SC. ! the quantity roue
to S.MKMMMI hundred weights , but for the
llrst nine months of this year It wan
but ljiiiiH : ( , ( ( ) hundred weights , and
of course none Is now being
exported. Since the total Imports
Into ( Jreat llrltaln of wheat and wheat
Hour are from DO.OIHMHMI to 100,000.000
hundred weights a year , it will be seen
that If India could produce the cereal to
the extent and , with the profit which It
has been asserted she can. It Is not
the want of a market which lias pre
vented her doing U. It was not the In
dian competition that reduced the price
of American wheat In the Itritlsh marker -
ker , but the competition of Argentina
and Itussla and this year neither of
those countries have a large surplus for
export. Mut the competition of India
has been continually made to servo the
purpose of deluding the American
farmer.
Mr. Newlands also offers an explana
tion of the decline In silver , but this Is
of no consequence. The obvious and
simple explanation Is to bo found In the
law of supply and demand , as in the
case of the advance In the price of
wheat.

A London corre.-pondont says that the
Oulana sugar planters are holding con
ferences and presenting memorials to
the home government on behalf of the
sugar Industry , which has apparently
received Its death blow from the boun
ties paid by Germany. Austria and
Franco to the beet producers. Me states
that nothing Is cheaper than sugar In
Hngland , but th < > staple Industry and
trade of Hie West Indies has been
ruined by European competition , against
which lOngland has not protected her
colonies. The correspondent suggests
that the prosperity of England's sugar
Islands might easily be restored by a
tarlll' in their favor and against the
beet countries , but to do lids would
Involve nonconformity with the sacred
canon of free trade.
It thus appears that the quest ion of
the future of the sugar Industry Is one
of widespread Interest. It Is useless to
surmise as to what Kngland may do to
prevent the destruction of that Indus
try In her islands , but It Is pertinent to
Inquire what this country should do to
protect Us sugar Interests from destruc
tive European competition. The policy
In Germany , Austria and Franco In re
lation to their beet sugar Interests Ims
greatly stimulated production and the
producers of those countries , particu
larly of Germany , are enabled to export
beet sugar at prices that defy compe
tition. It Is seen that the effect has been
to nearly destroy the sugar Industry of
Guiana. Tin.1 question that naturally
suggests Itself Is , how long can the |
sugar Industry of tlio Hulled States ,
without more protection than It now
has , survive the lOuropeau competition , j
which grows stronger from year to
yearV It Is a matter of no small im
portance and Nebraska has a very con
siderable Interest , In It.

The. campaign of education has made
the American people the wisest
people In the world In regard
to money and Its relations. In
no other country do the masses
of the people know so much as
the masses In the United States about
the character and functions of money ,
what gives It value , its Inllueiice upon
prices , the meaning of standards , the
distinction between monometallic
ami bimetallic systems of cur
rency and the question of
ratios this last the most dilllcult to
make clear , at the outset of the cam
paign , to a majority of the people , but
now very generally understood. lOven
the children of the public schools have
manifested an liiten.se Interest In the
paramount Issue and not a few of them
nro now better qualified to discuss the
currency than their fathers were three
months ago. Of course there has been
much said on one side of the contro
versy that was misleading and thus
wrung Impressions were created which
will continue for a time , or until re
moved by actual experience , but in the
main the Instruction has been sound
and Its value could not very well bi
overostiin.tod. :
One fact distinctly brought out Is
that labor tluds It.s best reward In gold
standard countries. In all such coun
tries wages are higher than In silver
standard countrle.s and their purchasing
power Is relatively greater. Neces
sarily the social condition of the workIngman -
Ingman Is much better In gold than
In silver standard countries. It
has been clearly shown that the silver
standard Implies low wages , scarce
capital , high rates of Interest ! and other
disadvantages which make against the
progress and prosperity of tlio masses
of the people.Vorklngmen save most
In gold countries and are In every way
better off than in sliver standard coun
tries. Another piece of useful knowl
edge acquired Is that only In countries
having the gold standard Is there any
thing llko bimetallism , silver circulating
largely in such countries , whereas the
nllver standard uniformly expels gold.
A number of falhu-Ks and false as
sumptions have 1n < cti exploded. He
would challenge a doubt as to Ids san
ity who should now assort that there
has ever been any necessary connection
or relation between the price of silver
and other commodities , particularly
wheat and cotton. That false and mis
leading theory , which has deluded so
many , has been forever disposed of.
Another demolished fallacy Is that the
quantity of money regulates prices , re
gardless of Its quality , or of the opera
tion of the law of supply and demand
upon products. Prices are seen to ad
vance , Increasing by many millions the
value of commodities , without a cor
responding Increase in the currency ;
Indeed coincident with an extraordi
nary contraction of the currency.
Such are some of the teachings of the
campaign of education that have been
deeply Impressed upon the public mind
and which make a strong foundation
for further popular enlightenment on
the money question , while at the same
time serving as tin Impregnable bul
wark against any attempt hereafter to
delude the people on this question.

liOS.Sll * AUDIT WO.1IKN.
The humors of the White house. It Is
the testimony ot every one who 1ms re
sided there , would fill many volumes.
Many ot them arc found In the dally niull-
bag. At a dinnerthe other day Mrs. Me-
Kco tol.l cf a letter Mrs. Harrison received
while first lady of the land. It ran :
"Dear Maddam : t would llko a present
from Washington Cltty. so I will locate
on you for It. 1'lcaso send me a dress pat
tern and ( here followed a llbt of several
other things ) nnd plt'impay the exprcus.
as I have made a vow never to pay anything
on an express package , as I never know what
IK In It until I have opened It. " Mis. Harrison
risen , accenting to the relater , was much
amused at this missive , and "I'll locate on
yon for that" bccatno a Ktanding phrase
In the family ever after when some object
was coveted.
Another letter received by Mrs. Harrison
ran : "Dear Madam : I'leaee semi me a
piano nnd some shtet music , as I have a
daughter that has some tallcnt.s. "
The women of fashion and even the
actresses of the present day can hardly
hold a candle to the dames of old In the
matter of Jewels If we take the valuations
iccorJcd by historians as truthful and cor
rect. According to I'lny Lollla Pauline ,
the wife cf Caligula , wore on her head ,
arms , neck , hands and waist pearls and
emeralds lu the value of $1OSO.OUO. Faus
tina had 11 ring worth $200003. Domiila
had ono for $3uO,090. and Cacsonla had a
biacelct worth $ IOt,000. Seneca bewails
that one pearl In each ear no longer suf
fices to adorn n woman ; they must have
three , the weight of which ought to bo In
supportable to them. .There were women
In ancient Homo whose Hole occupation was
the healing of the ears of tbu bellra who
had torn or otherwise Injured the lobe.s
with the weight of their pendants. Pop-
pea's earrings were worth J730.000 , and
Caeij.ir's wife , Calpurnla. had a pair valued
at twice that sum. Marie do Mcdlcla had
a dress made for the ceremony cf the bap
tism of her children which was trimmed
with 32.000 pearls and 3.000 diamonds , and
the last moment she found It was &o
heavy she couldn't wear It and had to get
another. Hut men led In the splendor of
the middle agr-s , and 1'hllip the Good of
Hurgandy often wote jewels valued at a
million francs. When he walked along the
Etrct-ts the people climbed over each other
to uet a look at him. He was a moving
mass of diamonds. The duke of Ilucklng-
Isam wore a suit at the court of St. Jaiiies
which cost 80.000. The dress of the nobles
during the middle ages was literally cov
ered with gold and precious atones.
Komlnlnc New Zealand Is In a reforming
mood. At any rate. It Is "advanced" on a
number of topics. Women voters of the
colony , at a convention recently , expressed
n dcalro to abolish capital punishment , to
nationalize the land , to create a system of
old-ago pensions am ) to make judicial sen
tences reformative aa well as punitive.
Kvlduitly these women arc of a go-ahead
disposition. Not satlsllcd with so ambition ?
a program , they go still further In as
serting the right of women to sit on juries
an.l . bo elected to the legislature. Men
are only too anxious to escape exercising
the former right. It would be a distinct
advantage If they could oend their wives
to serve In their stead. Another resolution
was paused that Is worth netting forth In
full : "In all cases where a woman elects
to HUpcrlntcnd u household , and to be the
mother of children , there shall bp a law
attaching u certain just share of her hus
band's earnings or Income for her separate
use , payable , If she desires , Into her sepa
rate account. "
Ilefore U Hung Chang left China for a
tour of observation of the various civilized
countries of the world ho Instructed the
Vlscoant I.I Chow Chow to bring hlnftlio
sacred book nJ Chinese etiquette , from
which he selected the following questions to
be propounded to ladles wherever he should
meet them :
"How old are you ? "
"Is that your own hair ? "
"How much did you pay for It ? "
It Is simple jnstlcu to the eminent China
man to uay that In all his Interviews with
ladlca In all parts of Knrope and America
thus far visited ho has never deviated from
these simple and polite Interrogations.

mild : "Now. you nil are going to sew. " She
was Ititerrtrtited by one of her guests , who
arose In rcnolllous consternation anil said :
"Now , foiV-anoMntwR nake , don't tell me

the cord nnd tnwds were found to be
dainty llttlo yellow pencils.
Next came the staler carrying another
tray. From this she handed out llttlo
sqitarn llnnn dnllles. lu the. corner of e.tch

and fastened with a needle.
"Now , " said one of the directors , "yon
nro to draw yonr own design and sew It. '
Manynnd varied were the exclamations
that "they had never drawn a line In their
lives , " "they never could make up any
thing , " etc. One young woman said she
never had drawn anything but ono of these
back-view eats that yon make with three
lines , so she proceeded to put a green ami
pink cat on her linen.
They wirr coon nil workltip fir dear life ,
threc-qnartcra of an hour being the time
allowed. Tongues flew as fast "s the
needles nnd the young woman who vowed
nho couldn't sew accompanied thenolno by
playing exquisitely on the piano. The
linen squares then had the owners' names
written on them nnd were gathered nnd
taken to niiothcr room to pass under the
eyes of se\eral married Indies who were
appointed "tiiducs. "
While nwaltng the decision Ices nnd

An Important order was to bo executed
the other day by n Washington milliner ,
for Mrs. Cleveland had written down fo.nn
autumn hat. "Yonr own selection. " she
told the milliner. The hat. when It reached
Gray Gables , was of pale green straw with
brown dots scattered over It. These were
small knots of grass. One side of the hat
was trimmed with Htlff tnlTcta bows In
brown nnd green loops of each. The
other side of the bat was a mess of snow
balls nestling In green leaves. The back
was n standing mass of lace , nnd Un
pointed top carried out the brown ami green
motif In an abumlance of these leaves.
Mrs. Cleveland also sent for small russet
shade hats for the little girls. These were
trimmed with forget-me-nots nnd green rib

The men wlio'gathcrcd around the horses
while the girls were getting some soda

their lee cream scda they came out. Mis : <
Nora was not disturbed by the manner In
which sho'was' watched. Leading her

professional riding master.
Going to her own horse she took the bridle
In one hand , grasped the horse's mane , and
without any dltlloulty at all sprang up nnd

crowd applauded. The colt took frig'it at

a cm or two of her whip abe brought her
