THE LOAN BLL.-In our paper of last week we
mentioned the passage OF the Loan Bill by the
House. The bill authorizes the loan of l2,000,-
600 for term, which may be extended to twenty
years; and gives the President the privilege of bor
rowing SIS, 00O,0 900 more if it shall be required
making in all $17,000,0O0. The securities upon
which the loan is to be effected portion of the
custom receipts-these are to be pledged for the
payment of the interest and the redemption of the
principle. This bill was considered in many res
poets Objectionable by the democratic party in Con-
gress-it was opposed mainly on the ground, be-
it authorizes the Secretary to sell the govern
ment bonds below par; thus giving room for ruin
sacrifice. The uncertainty of the pied e given
for the redemption of the bonds, renders it probable
that the loan if effected at ALL will be obtained at
great discount on the government bonds. Another
ground of apprehension that the loan cannot be OBJ
tanned on advantageous terms, Isl that it is left op
tonal with the government to redeem the govern
ment bonds at pleasure, at any time within the pc
Rod of twenty years. This places the lender in
attitude of uncertainsy-being kept in state of
suspense from to twenty years, as may suit the
convenience of the borrower.
The measure approved by the democratic party
for the purpose of relieving the embarrassed condi-
ton of the government first to repeal the Dis
tribution Act, and second to effect loan by pledg-
the proceeds Of the public lands, for the payment of
the interest and the nstalments. In the present
of national finances, it is not difficult to
determine which would have been the wiser mea-
sure-the one adopted by the wing party, or the
ing the proceeds of the public lands for the purpose
of government loan, ample confidence would havs
been had in the securities; and instead of dividing
the proceeds of the public lands among the several
States, they should be applied to help the country
out of its pecunary embarrassments. :

THE TELEGRAPH.
SOUTHPORT, WIS, APRIL &c, 1912.

| WHEAT.-A writer in the Rochester Democrat
estimates, that there is at least one third more
wheat on the ground this season, than there on
the ground last season. He also calculates that
should the wheat crop the present gear be as good
as in common years, that the price of wheat will
not exceed fifty cents per bushel in Rochester
reason asst gned for this prospective falling off in the
price of wheat, is the restrictions in the form du
ties which Great Britain is about to place upon the
importations into Canada of wheat grown in the
United States.
How much importance ought to be attached to
these speculative calculations, every one will
Judge for himself Should the wheat harvest the
present season prove average one throughout the
country, and should the prospect of foreign mar
ke be no better than is indicated, it is proba-
BILE that wheat may be worth less in western New
York the ensuing autumn than last year. Still
there are so many contingencies which cannot be
foreold, and upon which the value of the wheat
product will depend, that no calculations except of
general nature can be made One thing, howev-
err, is certainshoud the price of wheat be less in
western New York this year than last, the farmer
in Wisconsin will still be as well off as the farmer
in New York; for although the price of wheat in the
markets of this Territory, must depend upon the
eastern market, still the wheat grower in Wiscon-
sin can as well, and even better bear depression
in the price, than the eastern wheat grower. The
farmer in western New York has five times the ca
ptal invested to every 100 acres of wheatand, that
the farmer of Wisconsin has. While the farmer in
New York may have five thousand dollars invested
in 100 of land appropriated to the raising of
wheat, the farmer in Wisconsin may have but five
hundred or thousand dollars, invested in like
number of acres, cultivated for the like purpose.
To say nothing then of the less amount of labor
required in the cultivation of lands in Wisconsin,
and the superior producveness of the soil, the diff
ference in the amount of capital invested between
the eastern and the western grain grower, will
able the latter to compete successfully with the for
mer. If therefore, there should be depression in
the grain markets of the east, growing out of the
causes named, the eastern farmer will suffer from
the effects of such depression as much, and pro-
badly more, than the farmer in the west. Wheat is
the staple commodity Of eastern Wisconsn-wheat
in this Territory will always bear relative value
to wheat in New York; the difference in the mar
ket value here and the east will be the cost oftrans-
portation. What the west loses in the market va
ue at home it more than gains in the less amount
of capital invested in order to the production of the
crop. However desirable it may be to the farmers
of this Territory to obtain good prices, they never
theless have for complaint, that their To-
calty is fixed in the west, if the price of wheat in
the eastern market is low.

LATE FROM ENGLAND

The packet Montreal, Capt. Tinker, ar
rived from London yesterday with English
dates to the 7th of March. In the House
of Commons leave has been granted to
bring in bill to inquire into the Exche.
quer frauds. Sir Robert PEEPS Corn bill
had been read first time A motion had
been made to vote $4,000 men for the Ma
val Service during the coming year. The
number Of ships was TO be slightly reduced
so that-lhe number Of men remaining the
same-vessels could be sent to sea in the
most perfect state Of equipment. The in
tention Of Government had been announced
not to send any new expedition to the Nj
ger. In the House of Lords assurances
had been given by the Secretary Of Foreign
Affairs that the British Government would
take all steps necessary to aid the Govern
ment Of Spain in putting down insurrec-
ton. &c.
We understand that very decisive mea-
sures are about to be adopted for the reco-
very Of debts due by STATES Of the Ameri-
can Union to British subjects. Mr.. r.
Crichton Wylie, himself creditor, au-
thorized by other holders Of American Sc
in the Columbia steamer for New York.
His first object will doubtless be to resist
and counteract the dangerous doctrine Of
reputation o. certain English claims on
American States-a doctrine equally dis
honest and dangerous, but set up by some
authorities in the Union. The amount Of
British money invested in American State
Bonds, Banks, Canals and Railroad shares,
is from twenty to twenty-five millions.
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.-The Washing
ton papers state that notice has been re-
ceived by the Navy Department that tho
U. S. steam frigate Missouri in ascending
the Potomac on Monday ran aground some
sixty or eighty miles below Washington,
opposite the harbor of Port Tobacco. Ev-
cry effort was Immediately made to get her
off by backing her engines and taking the
guns and other weighty articles aft Lieut..
John F. Borden was sent out in charge Of
a boats crew with an anchor, for the pur-
pose of heaving the vessel off, when by
some means the anchor got overheard, car
ryng with it the chain cable, which in
running out either killed or carried over
board every one of the sixteen men on
board, including the Lieutenant, and all
persisted. The Madisonan says that so
far as the facts have come to the Depart
ment every precaution seems TO have been
taken, and there is no reason TO attach 4
blame to any one. The Mississippi had
been despatched TO render aid. Z
