The Coming CrOps.

Fronl The World.
The attention given this year to cultivating
grain, particularly wheat, is very significant.
1t will be seen from the extracts which we
print elsewhere that accounts from all sections
of the country represent that an unusual
quantity of wheat has been sown this spring,
and unless the weather should prove unfavor-
able the crop will be exceedingly large. "The
high price of flour has given an impetus to
wheat raising again in New England, says
the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, while, ac-
cording to the Milwaukee (Wis.) Sentinel,
"the number of acres sown with wheat) in
Wisconsin this year will be at least thirty per
cent greater than last year." Similar reports
reach us from the Southern States, though in
these a very large quantity of corn has been
sown as well. AS regards these latter States
it is plain that the people of the South have
determined to provide against the dearth of
food sfrom which they suffered last winter,
and are still suffering. Last year they devoted
their energies to raising cotton, stimulated
thereto by the then high price of that staple,
and calculating to purchase their grain from
the Western States. The result we all know.
Should the grain crop of the South this year
equal or even approach the expectations
founded upon the number of acres sown
with corn and wheat, there will be no scarcity
of food in that section after harvest time.
The particular inducement to the Northern
and Western farmers to plant wheat is the
high price which it commands, owing to it's
scarcity, as we showed in recent article.
While, however, the supply for the coming
season promises to be very large, a new ele-
ment in the problem is the prospect of a war
in Europe. Should this occur, there will be a
large foreign demand for American grain,
which will have material influence in keep
ing up prices It is probable that there will
not be such a scarcity of wheat during the
coming crop year as there has been during
the present one, provided, of course, that the
weather does not prove unfavorable; and, in
reference to this latter point it may be men
toned that the recent fail of snow in portions
of Wisconsin has caused considerable appre-
hension concerning the wheat crop in that

To the community at large the yield Of the
next wheat crop is a matter of serious interest.
among the causes for the demand throughout
the country for higher wages is the high price
Oh Hour. This cause removed, there will be
one less obstacle in the way of returning to
lower prices in other things. There is, there
l0Ie, every reason for hoping that the unusu-
ally large quantity of wheat planted This
spring will yield crop adequate to the wants
of the country

lively contest has already commenced
among political parties and politicians for the
Southern vote and the balance of power which
that is expected to give. 1t will increase in
intensity as the process of reconstruction goes
on, and we may expect to become pretty firm
by the time the Southern States shall be de-
clared ready and prepared for readmission to
Congress. This contest, in all its phases, is
exceedingly interesting, particularly to the
statesman who studies the present for the pur-
pose Of divining the future.

Mr.. Gladstone's recent eneomium upon
"the courage and forethought of the Ameri-
can people," in bearing burden of taxation
which, "both in amount and kind, makes
their conduct marvel is undoubtedly Just,
so far as ''bearing the burden" is con-
cerned; but when the ex-Chancellor of the
Exchequer dilates upon the rapid reduction
of our national debt, his remrrks are not so
well worthy of Endorsement. To be sure,
the purpose Of his laudation was to improve
ms political prospects rather than to say a
Kind word for the United States: but his
words have received an Interpretation ON
ths side of the water which is not war
ranteo by the facts in the case. The debt
Oh the United States August 81, 1865,
was ~ sac, ,OOO, coo, and on April l, 1857
~, z,o6o, 700 OOO, showing an apparent reduc-
tion of $lS3, 1000, coo in nineteen months. But
Of what did the debt consist at each of these
dates In round numbers, on the 3Ist Of
August, 1867, the debt in coin was
$1,000, ,OO0,0O0 and that in currency was,
81, SAG, ,O0O, ,000 while on the 1st of April. 1887
the coin debt was 81 800, 0OO, ,OOO and the
currency debt 81, 163, ,000,0 600. The main nor
tion of the national debt was contracted when
our currency was worth less than "a cents on
the dollar (the equivalent of gold at 1867; but
assuming this valuation as basis of caloula-
tion, comparison of the amount in coin of
the debt at the two periods mentioned results
as follOws:-
Ar0,st ,enz
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-04-29

Total........ -, ,OOOOOO Total.. s2ssOOOo 600
This shows reduction of but Sc, 900, 900 in
nineteen months, and those months very
favorable for the collection of large amount
of revenue. The inference is obvious. The
national debt is not going to melt away like
mist before the rising sun. Its pressure has
not begun to be felt as it will be, and as the
signs of the times indicate that it is to be ere
long. And so long as Congress appropriates
millions to the Freedmen's Bureau, and in
creases the salaries of its members by 662 per
cent, and expends money with lavis6ness
that would be reprehensible even if the ma
tional treasury were full to overhowing, there
is no likelihood that the national debt will be
so much reduced as that taxation will be ma
terially lessened, Mr. Gladstone to the con-
trary notwithstanding.
