and probably lS,O00,0OO, is near approxi- mation to the actual consumption. As there was planted in the United States about eight millions of acres of land in wheat, intelligent men estimate the crop for 1887, at 9 bushels to the acre, which at 80 cents the bushcl will be worth, $160,0O0,O00. Estimating 5 bush- els of wheat to barrel of four this will give 4O,O0O,O00 of bbls. or a surplus for export or to remain in barns of22 O00, GOO bbls. At the least calculation there is no doubt wheat enough raised the present season, to supply the country two years, and if it is not nlonop- olized by spectators, or the grain kept back by the growers, the price of four ought the ensuing winter not to exceed $5 per bbl. the price of 1929. In tho spring of that year, good superfne four was sold in Philadelphia for $3, D per bbl.-Esser Register.
 .a POLITICAL QUACKERY.
 The following extract from a speech re- gently delivered at Taunton, by the Hon F. Baylies, is most admirable exposition of the course pursued by the school of enquiries who have been doctoring the body polite for few years past. Never did the author of" Gil Bias" imagine more perfect counterpart to the learned doctor Sangrado and his pupil, than is presented in the case of certain IL. D. of our own times, and has pupil. We think, however, that their practice is fast e. nough "getting into discredit."
 When Dr. Sangrado was called to the li- centiate Sedillo in his extremity, he sent for a surgeon and ordered him to take !" six good porringers of blood, as the first effort to SUD- ply the want of precipitation" Then he said to the surgeon, Master Martin OmneZ, re- turn in three hours, and take as much more {; and repeat the same evacuation tomorrow It is gross error to think that blood is ne- cessary for the preservation of life; pa- tient cannot be blooded to much."
 Sir, said Gil Bias to Dr. Sangrado, I take heaven to witness that follow your method with the utmost exactness, yet nevertheless, every one of my patients leaves me in the lurch. It looks as if they took pleasure in dying, merely to bring our practice into dis credit," sc. Why truly child (answered he) I have reason to make pretty much the same observation: Ihave not often the satisfaction of curing those who fall into my hands; and if was not sure as am of the principles on which proceed, should think my remedies were pernicious in almost all the cases that come under my care." "If you will take my advice, sir, (said D we will change our meth cd, and give chemical preparations to our pa- tients, through curiosity the worst that can happen will only be, that they produce the effect that follows our bleeding and warm water" "I would willingly make that ex- pertinent Che replied) provided it could have no bad consequences 1; but hdue published c book in which have extolled the use of fre- Quent bleeding and aqueous draughts: and wouldst thou have me go and decry my own workw "Oh you are certainly in the right, (said I,) you must not give your enemies such a triumph over you; they would say you are at last disabused, and therefore ruin your reputation perish rather the nobility, cler- gy and people and let us continue in our 0acn pGth."
 "We went to work, therefore afresh, says Gil Bias, and proceeded in such manner, that in less than six weeks we made more widows and orphans than the siege of Troy
 "My own views of the subject are unchang- ed, says the President. They have been re- peatedly and unreservedly announced to my to apprise them distinctly, that, in the event of my election would not be able to coop crate in the establishment of National Bank;" in otherwords, the President had pub- lished his letter to Sherrod Williams Let the people perish rather, I wiN not decry nay oscn work" "Perish commerce--Perish cred it, rather," says Mir. Beardsley perish rath- CT the moneyed aristocracy, says the Globe : perish rather the clergy. says Abner Knee- land, and perish whole nation, says the ad- ministration, rather than abandon "the old path" er s#;a The veins of commerce are cut and the blood is pouring forth in streams from the fainting patient; 1t is gross error to think that blood is necessary for the preservation of life." "N may be safely assumed that nc motive of convenience to the citizen requires the reception of bank paper" says the Pres. ident and he thinks that our credit was So good, that like the sword of Hudibras iteat into itself; we were sick because we were too healthy, therefore it is necessary to keep us sick, lest by getting well we should become sick again! The Banks have broke; the merchants have broke; the manufacturers have broke, according to the belief of the President and his friends, for the same rea- son that induced Sangrado's patients to @take pleasure in dying" namely, to bring their practice into discredit. ."-Horgord Courier. A murder was committed last week in Cincinnati, by German named SheiSlGn, on 0 woman to whom ne had been engaged to be married in his native country. Not being disposed to fulfil her contract, she left Ger many and came to the United States. Sheis- Ian followed her to this city, hence to Pitts burg and Cincinnati and Louisville, where he arrived the week before last, in search of his travelling false-as-fair." He found the lady, and prevailed on her day or two af- terwards to walk with him to the outskirts of the city, when he stabbed her deliberately with a knife, and continued cutting her till life was extinct. He then delivered himself up to the city authorities.-N. Y. Courier. Economy is one thing, and parsimony an- other. Economy, as the common accepta- tion of the word goes, means frugal disposi. tion and outlay of onc's income, and the man.
