Show The Goldbng Press is just now using the raise in the price of -wheat as one of the signs that prosperity has struck us. The National Bimetallist drives this M-edge into their argument: . Let no farmer be deceived by goldbug claptrap concerning the .- lise of wheat. Any man who can read must know that it comes from a veritable bread famine in other countries. Prosperity which is haunted by the ghosts of starved millions in other lands is not the kind of prosperity that the American Amer-ican people desire. Morever, such prosperity is bound to be temporary, temp-orary, for even a gold champion, great though he be in promising, can scarcely give us the assurance that there will always bo general crop failures in India and Argentine Argen-tine and short crops in Europe. But even now, with famine abroad and plenty of tariff at home, we havo nothing like genuine prosperity prosper-ity merely a temporary rise of wheat and a flurry of speculation in Wall street.
