The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1876-05-25
Let US analyze this :

While the receipts during the week
ending May 18th, were but 24S,a4s
bush. the shipments were more than
twice that amount, and the receipts dur
ing the same week last year were twice
- much as they were this year. The
total shipments from Milwaukee, from
January 1stto May 18th, eacsedsd tie
the receipts neorly 600, 600 s,sshels. And
they were nearly two million bushels
more than they were during the same
period in 1875. All this indicates great
demand and a small supply.
During the "a hours ending May 18th
the receipts OF wheat at Milwaukee were
81 $50 bush. while the shipments were
195. $40 bush. or nearly four bushels
shipped for one received.
We were told in Chicago that it va.
impossible to procure cars to carry the
wheat going east from that city. whils
hardly any wheat was coming in.
The spectators are hoping that or
June lst the six months storage on Min
nesota wheat will have expired and tha
the floods Of v heat then let loose vii
break down the market. We would ad
wise our readers to lock out for lov
prices about June let and $ steady MS
ID price after that date.

HITTING HIM HARD.

Really, now if this thing is to continue
we will have to defend H. H. Young of
the Grange Advance. He left the Anti
Monopoly party last fall and carried his
small amount Of brains and large amount
Of baggage over into the Republican
camp; and while we pitied Young and
trembled for the Republicans, we ex.
pected, of course, that they would build
arches of triumph for the couquering
hero and strew his pathway with flowers.
But as Artemus Ward says, there was
"nary str and the only vegetable
display they made was to plant cypress
trees around the hole where he went
down.
And now, ,-saddest sight Of all.-alead>
ing Republican paper actually taunts the
poor wretch with the money ne received
from the Republicans thems selves!

ings Of the Indianapolis Independent
Convention. We have only roomto say
that the ticket nominated is one of the
strongest ever presented to the American
people by the members of any political
party. i
PETER COOPER, of New York, is
world-famous as one Of our purest men
and noblest philanthropists. By hisen-
ergy and good sense he has accumulated
a large fortune which he has used for
the advancement of the welfare of his
fellowimen. "The Cooper Institute" is a
noble and enduring monument to his
greatness OF mind and liberality of heart.
In it have been educated thousands of
poor working men and mechanics who
now bless the architect of their brighter
lives and better fortunes.
Although living in the very hot bed Of
the money power, and himself a man OF
i'm mmense wealth. Mr.. Cooper has ear
nestly and persistently advocated the doc
trines OF the Independent Greenback Con-
vention, and exposed the sophistries Of
the hard-money contractionists.
Our candidate for Vice President, Hon.
NEWTON BOOTH, United States Senator

honest man. He has led the hosts of re-
form to victory on the Pacific coast ;and,

he should receive proper recognition as one
