a gentleman who has Travelled ex-
tensively through Tennessee, Ken
lucky, West Virginia, Maryland.
Indiana, Ohio and Southern Illinois,
informs the st. Louis Democrat that
the winter wheat crop now in the
ground in ali that region is m excel
lent condition. Some farmers sup
posed the broadcast sowing would
prove 4 failure in such States as
Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia and
Maryland, where the snow did not
lay long on the ground, but cxami-
nation Of the plant proves the re-
verse. Not only is the growing
wheat in cxcellen. condition in these
States, but the area put in is large.
In the more northcrly portion of the
wintcr-whcat belt the earth has been
very steadily covered with snow, and
there can be no doubt that when a
thaw comes it will be sudden. Spring
will be skipped, and summer will be-
gin. The weather will be hot and
forcing, and the growth of the wheat
plant will be rapid. Another thing
seems to be pretty certain, and that
is that there will be big corn crop
in 1915, Corn is now bringing a
price that will insure a-large profit
to the farmer, and hogs arehish also.
Thus there are two incentives to
produce corn largely. If the crop
should be so large as to force prices
down, it can be fed to hogs, and made
: to nav a GOOD profit that way.

1t now appears that John Mitchell,
who was lately elected as member
of the British Parliament, from the
County Tipperary, Ireland, was a
citizen of the United States. In1S53,
at the county court of San Francisco,
in California; Mitchell reported him
self for naturalization, and declared
on oath it was his bona fidc inten-
ton to become a citizen; and in 1860,
at Washington, he applied for full
letters Capitalization. Theproof Of
this would have unseated Mitchell in
the British Parliment, if death had
not stepped in and settled the vcxcd
question.

that the iron trade will share in any

Of pig iron great enough to apprecl-

lead to the blowing in of furnaces

trade will be brought about gradual

silver Resumption.


It is stated from Washington that
the Secretary of the Treasury has al
ready begun in good earnest his pre-
partitions for the resumption ofsilver
payments. He is required to do so
by act of Congress, and therefore the
Secretary himself is not to be regard
ed as subject to criticism for his ac-
ton in this matter. In buying 81
100000 of silver bullion and setting
the minis in full activity, he is sim
ply, carrying out an actoflegislation
first suggested by the President and
then adopted by Congress. But what
is likely to be the result? The New
York Bulletin answers thus, as it has
been answered before, by saying that
silver coin is intended to circulate on
a par with paper currency; it can in
fact have no other circulation; and
vet, with the price Of gold over no,
the silver will be worth more than
paper; and the difference will be suf-
fcient to afford q handsome profit to
bullion dealers in buying it up. The
new coin, therefore as fast as it ap-
pears, under such condition of the
gold premium, will disappear from
circulation and go out of the country
in the ordinary wayof export. Yet,
meantime the fractional currency
viii be destroyed as fast as the silver
is put in circulation. We shall thus
be getting rid of the most necessary
form of circulation without having
any certainty that VIC can per-
manently replace it by another.
