The Milwaukee Wisconsin esti-
mates from reliable data that the wheat
crop of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and
Kansas for 1877 will be 100000 ,00O
bushels larger than it was in 1876. The
quality is also super-excellent. En-
couraging reports TO the grain growers
of the West come from all quarters,
The competition of wheat from the
Black Sea is likely to be lessened by the
Eastern war, and is judged by good OBJ
servers to be declining as fast as our
facilities for shipment from the West to
Europe are increasing. The late trou-
bles may, on the whole, be a help to
farmers on the other side Of the Misss.
sippi. by sending them more laborers ;
it is stated that the Westward immigra-
ton is already larger. Indiana is he
ing secured for emigran.s to 80 to Mis-
sissippi. At one meeting in Indianapo-
lis recently, one hundred heads of fami'
lies said that they were willing to go.
The crops are undoubtedly abundant,
having been spared alike by drought
and. gFasshoppers.

Washington Letter.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug, %, 1877.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes, Webb Hayes,
Miss Foote, and Postmaster General Key
took trip East last week, visiting Benz
nington, Vt, Brattleboro, Windsor,
Nashua, the White Mountains, Concord
and Manchester. The party left here
in a private car attached to the regular
train, and finely decorated. They spent
last Sunday with Secretary Evarts, at
his farm in Windsor, where that gentle
man is rusticating. They will not re-
turn to this city before the last of the
week.
The papers are full of Senator Conk-
ling-his return to this country, his re-
ceptions, future actions, etc. His home
is in Utica, and, upon his arrival there,
he was greeted with all sorts Of tlatter.
ing demonstrations of welcome, such
as might we'll turn q younger and less
wise head. The silvery- haired Senator
is fully appreciated by his countrymen.
New York especially is proud of him &,
1t will not be easy to supplant such
man as he, though it is well.known
fact that Evarts and his friends are
arrayed against him.
Another popular statesman who is
before the public is Alex. Ii. Stephens,
who lay so i'll at his hotel in this city
the most of last winter that his death
was daily expected and was even pre-.
maturely announced more than once.
Very gradually he has been gaining for
the past six months until now he is able
to travel and write some, and intends
taking a vigorous part in Congress the
coming fall and winter. He has hardly
occupied his seat for two years. Last
winter he appeared in the House but
twice (Once to cast his vote for Speaker)
and then in the arms of his attendants,
by whom he was carried from his hotel
to the capital in an invald's chair, be.
ing too weak to bear q carriage drive.
His cOnvalescence is especially gratify-
ing TO the Democratic party, as Mr..
Stephens is undoubtedly the most expe-
rienced statesman.
Senator Morton has been suddenly
stricken down by a paralytic stroke,
which occurred in San Francisco a fort
night since. He has been brought to
Indiana and is the guest of his brother.
in. law, Gov. Burbank. The latest dis
patches received from him here are to
the effect that his physicians have all
hopes of his recovery. Morton is one
of the acknowledged powers of the
Senate. That honorable body has sew
eral conspicuous members-several who
are noticeable on account of physical
pecuiarities. Morton is one of them,
having but little use of his lower limbs
and walks with two crutches. At the
right of his desk is rest upon which
he leans for support while speaking.

unemployed Labor.

The following very excellent article
we reproduce from the columns of Tues
days Public Ledger 1t is quite COM
mon thing to find writers and speakers
on the Labor question dealing in very
big figures when referring to the num-
bers of persons out of employment. The
favorile numbers are "three millions"
as most readers of newspapers are
aware, for doubtless they have all read
in the orations of loose takers, and in
the letters of the numerous "ready
writer's" " on the subject of the ".hree
millions of unemployed men" " in the
United States. How they arrived at
these figures none of them have ever ex-
planned, but they have a round, and
rolling, and very big sound T; and as
they serve the purposes of the orators
and writer's aforesaid very well, they
use them without giving much heed to
their truthfulness, or even to their pos
siblity. Some of the people who thus
talk about the "three millions of unem-
ployed meu " in the United States are
not much to be blamed, for they don't
know any better. They take the figures
from another class of writer's, but these
are very IN uch to be blamed, because II
they do not understand the absurdity of
such talk they ought to, for the means
OF better information are close at their
hands.
40 an examination Of this point falls
within the line of discussion OF the labor
question as pursued in several articles
in the Ledger, it is the purpose of this
article to clear away some OF the misap.
prehensiOns and misrepresentation con-
nected with the talk about A" three mil.
liOns," or any other number of millions
OF unemployed men," We begin by
quoting an analysis Of that portion of
the census OF 1870 which relates to the
trades and occupations of the people
then employed in the United States for
wages, salaries or profits of business.
These returns embrace all persons OF
both sexes over ten years of age. The
total population of the United States in
1870 over ten years old was returned as
follows:
Males over ten years.................. 1895 see
Total of both sexes over 10 years..... 2s,22s VI,
OF these there were employed iu all

With rocks their laughing paths to sever,
Yet ere they reach the plain below,
Glide into one, thea how on forever"
