Here then the aggregate surplus this
year is found to be 63.6O1. $40 bushels.
And this is to supply the states that do
not produce surplus. to wit, states
that like Connecticut produce but seven
tenths of bushel to each inhabitant. If
we take what may be called the northern
states alone, excluding the southern
state- where maize furnishes the bulk of
the bread and also excluding the states
producing surplus we have the follow.
ing results. The states OF Connectisut,
Kansas. Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri ,
New York. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island and Vermont, have a total popu-
of II ,O79 1864. At ten bushels per capita
these states will require 17O, O,793, GOA
bushels per annum. Their total product
this year will be- but $780, 176. This

Usually the wheat crop of the United
States aggregates three hundred million
bushels; this year, according to the De-
partment Of Agriculture, it will be abost
one half that amount.
Under ordinary circumstances wheat,
with such showing, would rule very
high. But, as we have before said, the

THE NOMINATION. or Mr.. BTEL

The Democrats of the First District
have nominated. as their candidate for
Congress, Hon. ID. l.. Buel of Caledonia.
Houston county, who ran last year for
Governor on the -Alonopolist and
Democratic ticket. He was defeated
then by the hard-monev Democrats, be-
cause ne was not iu favor OF immediate
resumption. That he is nominated now
shows that the Democracy OF southern
Minnesota have progressed somewhat
toward the light daring the past twelve
months.
We do not tknow how far Mr. Buel en-
dorses the greenback theories OF finance
but we regard him as an an able and
honest gentleman. with an excellent re.
cord and Il spotless character.

THE WAY THEY VOTE.

On the 24th, Of July Hon. W. D. kel-
ley (Rep.) of Penn. moved to suspend
the rules and pass the bill to make sill
yer legal tender for all debts.
Now one would suppose that upon this
WHEAT-The receipts of wheat were $500
bushels. Prices unchanged. New York is
quoted dull nothing doing except small trade
with miliers There was little change in the
lake markets The demands of the city millers
and some country mills take from day to day
about as much as is received, leaving the stock
in elevators nearly intact. On Wednesday, Of
81 ears received at Chicago, 30 were of the new
crop, which was taken at shade above prices
current for old wheat, showing that as soon as
the new wheat comes in, in sufficient quantities
to supply the demand old grain will be Ee-
elected and holders must sell at a sacrifice.
Why is it that new wheat is worth
in Chicago ga shade above the prices
current for old wheat" while in this state
new wheat is worth 50 cents and old
wheat sells for 81?
And why is it that if old wheat is uni
versally grown, heated and spoiled, it
should be worth in Minneapolis nine
cents per bushel more than new wheat?
And why is it that No | old wheat is
worth in MINNEAPOLIS 81 cents while No.

shade above prices current tor old
question Congress would be unanimous
Our republican friends have had SO much
to say about ''hard money" that one
would naturally conclude they would be
unanimously in favor OF the hardest of
money, silver. Silver is not .rags"
The silver coin does not say, "the Uni
ted States promise to pay one dollar -
it says, she United States-one dollar
1t is not therefore open to the profound
objection to the greenback which was
thundered last tall from every rostrum in
Ohio. Moreover silver coin has been
legal tender money in this nation from
the time it was established until a year o:
two ago.

Nevertheless, both parties are so hope
