THE GRAIN QUESTION.

In the April number of the Kansas .Hga-
zine, J. NJ. Harvey, who We believe was once
Governor of Kansas, has an article entitled
"Business." The object of the article is to
convince farmers and others interested in
agriculture. that If a national canal was built
from Norfolk or some other seaport to the
West and free navigation Of its waters per
mitted corn and wheat would command
nearly as large price in Kan
sas as in New York In the
performance of our duties AZ a journalist
We do not shrink from responsibilities, hence
We confess to reading the "Eusiness" article
from the first line to the signature, and after
deliberation celebrated in our own mind for
its maturity, we conclude that Mr.. Harvey
knows rs little about relieving the depress-
ion in agricultural districts in the West as
he does about governing State. Canals are
good things, and the;bigger.they are the bet
ter, bat they do not affect the price Of grain
to the degree generally supposed The
price of grain is regulated by the pro-
duction. II has been demonstrated by
ample statistics that when the crop of corn
or wheat falls one-,enth short of the de-
mand, the price is thereby increased two
fold; and reversely it has been shown that
the production of one.tenth in excess of the
demand will reduce the price one-half.
We admit that it shows lamentable fault
in the magement of railroads, when it takes
the price of three bushels of corn to trans
port one bushel to the Atlantic coast. Yet,
even il we had q canal with a capacity suf-
ficient 10 move all the surplus grain to
market. prices would only be equalized by
reduction in the Fast. The difference now
between prices in New York and Leaven-
worth amounts to the cost paid for traLs
portation, insurance, and the ordinary profit
of the Spectator. To-day corn is worth
one dollar bushel at the end OF the A., T. &
8. E Il. r., but If ten thousand bushels in
ezQeM of the demand we're sent out there,
prizes would go down at once. Wepresume
il costs about eighty cents 4 ..bushel to move
ccrn to the end OF the track. hence, while
the price here is twenty cents it is dol
Mr. there II il should cost only five cents
bushel to ship corn to that point, the price
there would I've about twenty-five cents
bushel. II is clear enough that the reduced
transportation would lessen the price Of
grain there, rather than increase it here.
The shipping Of few million bushels in
excess of the demand to the Atlsntic
markets would produce like re-
suit. High rates of freight affect
the grain dealer in the eas, more than the
producer in the west, even as extortionate
charges on car loads Of western bound mer-
chandise more seriously affect the consumers
of merchandise in the west, than the mer-
chants of the east.
The subject is one worthy the coneidera-
ton of every farmer. A close examination
will show that the surest way to prosperity
i to turn the immediate products Of the farm
into some manufactured article and then ex-
port the home made article. Long coniin-
nd expectation without manufacturing will
impoverish any country.

THE EEAM MINES.

The prospect for an abundant haryes
from the silver fields of Utah, the presen
season, is truly encouraging. The Salt Lake
Tribune tells US that present indications war
rant the belief that the coming summer,
work in the mines throughout the Territory
will be- more prolific of new discoveries and
greater Developments of ore bodies than al
any time in the past. This belief is induced
by the knowledge that already in several dis
tricts have extraordinarily fine bodies of ORE
been disclosed by the winters work. All
present indications seem to point to thu
mountains of Utah as the richest silver bear.
ing district in the world, needing only the
settlement of the mormon question to insure
its speedy development.

CONDITION OF NATIONAL RANKS.

The statements Of the condition of National
Banks throughout the country at the close OF
business February IS, 1873, have nearly all
been examined. and the Comptroller of the
Currency will soon make his report thereon.
The fac, i, presented by this examination
that more hanks than ever before are def
Gent of their legal reserve fund, which is TO
he accounted for by the iighiness Of the
money market and the demand for capital
attendant upon the increased business at
this sea on of the year. The Comptroller
has notified over three hundred hanks who
are thus delinquent in their legal reserve 10

FnnMONT.s TROUBLE

According to the usual way of doing
things in America, nobody thinks of punish.
ing a man for a bond swindle or railroad
fraud, provided only that the scheme is large.
There seems to be but one condition of rob.
berry which, in the American estimation, il
criminal, and that is littleness. Bot it seems
that they don't do things in France accord.
ing to Cur way, and the intelligence that
Gen. John c. Fremont has been condemned
to FIVE years Imprisonment " f-':ch
court on account of his conn c-.on with the
negotiation of the Memphis & Ell Paso
Railroad bonds in Paris, is rather astound-
ing dcnouement of gigantic railroad enter
prise from an American point Of view.
Those who have read the charges made
against him, however, and who are familiar
with the French custom Of dealing with spec
u!a,ors will not he surprised at the sentence,
il it follows a substan;ia,ion Of the charges
that were brought sgainst him. In the
course of the trial, NJ. lie Baron Gauldree-
BoiIleau, who married a daughter OF Tho mas
ii. Benton, and who is consequently q
bro;her-in-law to Gen. Fremont, gave an
Interesting summary of the latter's career.
When Gen. Fremont married, said Boillean,
che was 4 simple Lieutenant without for
tune, and was ready TO plunge into any new
enterprise which promised a fair gain
The witness went on to state that Fremont
was unsuccessful, and soon run through with
Senator Eenion's estate. II was probably
on this account tina; tie Baron Gauldree-
Boillean, through his wife, had claim
against Fremont. When the Blron went
TO New York to settle this claim, he
found, so he says, that Fremont had spent
much money on account Of the election. and
he finally settled by the acceptance of 766,-
600 francs in the Memphis 4 Ell Paso Rail
rood. Oae witness at the trial-Mr. Ma
guin-tcstitied that Gems. Fremont, Aufier-
mann, G,uldree. Boilleau, Paradis. Crampon,
Prohat and Lissignol had received in all
Is, 900, 900 francs from the French people on
account of the bonds, though only four miles
of the road had ever been tuilt. ii was also
shown that much money had been spent on
newspapers and Government officials to re
cure the introduction of the bonds on the
Paris Bourse, and to deceive the people.
The dispatch states that the men who were
associated with Fremont we're all sentenced
to various terms Of imprisonment, and were
arrested on the spot. Gen. Fremont. how
ever, was conveniently alsent, and will prob
ably not have any business on hand rquir-
ing his presence in France for some time to
