Now For Connecticut.
Governor Morton has appointed a
Board of Examiners for horse shoes in
New York state. This is a branch of
civil servive examination that ought to
be adopted here in Connecticut, in view
of the vast number of valuable horses
ruined b y incompetent smiths.
A Kentucky View of it.
The Chicago Tribune reports the fol-
lowing view of the free silver question
entertained by an Ex-postmaster in a
Kentucky town, that does not difier
much from that held by the major pors
tion of the so call ed Bryan democrats-
here in Norwalk. The Tribune says
that this postmaster is an early appli-
cant for an appointment by the Bryan
administration. He requests that he be
given the position of distributing agent
of free‘silver in the town of which he
was formerly postmaster. He explains
that as he understands it, in easeBryan is
elected, agents will be appointed by the
government in all sections of the coun-
try, to distribute silver money gratis to
those who need it. It is a pity Li
Hung Chang could not have met this
man. His style of ignorance" would
have given the visiting statesman a taste
of home lIle.
Wheat and Silver.
One of Mr. Bryan’s strong points in
his appeal to the Western farmers is
that the lower price of wheat is caused
biy the demonetiz ition of s1lver. To be
sure, wheat was higher in 1895 or in .
1881 than it had been in 1870. Wheat has
fallen in price, and so hassilver, there-
fore, if we infl ate the price of silver, the
price of wheat- must rise.
It the decline of 'wheat has been due
to the decline of silver, how does it
happen that the price of wheat is now
rising while that of silver is still going
down? In the last week of August, the
price of December. wheat in Chicago
was 53 cents a bushel. On Saturday
last it was 67 cents, an advance of 14
cents, or more than 25 per cent. in five
weeks. At the former date the price of
bar silver in New York was 67!; cents
an ounce, and on Saturday it was 6551
adecline of 2 per cent.
Clearly the prices of both commodi-
ties are regarded in the same way, by
theworld’s supply and demand. We
produce in this country more wheat
than we consume, and the price at
which we can sell the surplus abroad
determines the price it will command
at home. When the foreign demand is
small—or the supply from other coun-
tries abundant—wheat delines; when
exports increase, prices rise again.
Even the most confiding Populist
must perceive that the recent upward
movement in the grain market has not
been brought about by free coinage or
by the promise of it. Silver has not
shared in the advance, as it should
have done by the Populist theory, be-
cause there has been no increased de-
mand for it, and a bushel of wheat will
buy actually more silver today—as
well as more iron or steel or aluminum
than when it was selling at a dollar.
And with the rise in wheat, the quota-
tions of Bryan stock decline.
The Ballot Boxes.
For the instruction of some voters it
may be well to designate the location
of the boxEs and the manner in which
he ballots ought in order to ensue
ounting be deposited next Monday at
the Town House. There will be three
boxes properly placarded.
In the first box the town ticket and
.the’ ballot on school consolidation, both
in the same envelope should be depos-
ted.
There will be a box for the license or
no license votes which must be deposit-
ed therein in a separate envelope. -
A box has been provided for the wo-
.men who will place their ballot for
school visitors as well as their yes or no
on consolidation and deposit the same
i in that box.
Simple enough. .Isn’t it? But there
will probably be many mistakes made.

—The License Question.
To THE EDITOR on THE GAZETTE:—
DEAR SIR: Regarding the questiqn
of licensed, or no license, why,- is it
that there are so many Demo-
crats who declare they. will vote no-li-
cease for the purpose of showing some
of our so called - Democratic lquor
dealers where they are at ? It is gen-
erally conceeded that Westport went no
license because Of the dissatisfaction in
the ranks of the working Democracy
with the un-dem icratic conduct of cer-
tain liquor dealers of that town, and it
is pretty freely talked in our streets
that it wou‘d be well to teach a few of
the so called Democratic liquor dealers
fthat as they have seen fit in the past to
‘ccquette with their Opponents, and as
there is no prospect of a Democratic
victory 1n the town or city at this time,
it is a good time to teach them a lesson
-by which the regular Democracy will
profit in the future. This is an element
that the license party has probably not
taken into account, but it is the element
which has always constituted the bal-
ance Of- power in those contests, and
which will unless all signs fail make it-
self felt on Monday next.
Yours,
A REGULAR DEMOCRAT.
