ficiency. The European war made
wheat high in Minnesota last year in
spite of our enormous product.
The price of wheat in Minnesota is
fixed upon daily kilograms from Lon
don and Liverpool, not upon bulletins
from the harvest field.
The P. P. is wrong as usual: The
price of wheat it is true is fixed in
Liverpool but it is fixed upon date
from the wheat fields of the world;
and failure of the wheat crop in To-
wa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, which
raises as much as England's whole
annual importation, necessarily af-
fects prices in Liverpool.
The p. P's wheat articles seem to
be written by some commission mer-
chants whose interests are always
hostile to the interests of the farming
class. Wheat has gone up instead of
down as the P. P. foretold.

THE COMING MAN

The Butler movement in Massachu-
sets is rapidly taking en- the proper
tions of tidal wave. Not only is the
of the Generals candi-
dature hailed with delight by the
plain people, but the most experienced
and astute politicians of the state are
making haste to give in their adhes-
sion, and to take the lead in the work
of organization. 1t is an open secret
that the two most influential Irish
Democrats of Boston. John f, Fitz-
geral and Patrick Collins. are enthusi-
astic Butler men. and the Springfield
Republican reports that in letter
read at recent conference of his
friends in that city, in which both
the old parties were strongly repre-
sented. the General expressed the be-
lief that he could easily secure the
endorsement of the Democratic state
convention. He will make no effort
to do this. however, not considering
it at all essential. The same newspa-
per learns that all the Democratic
members of The legislature from that
region are for Butler. Evidently
Massachusetts politics are going to be
interesting this fall.-N. y. Sun. \

many influential and leading men
who are in love with the doctrines of
the new party; that organization and
active work are only needed to make
it party Of great Importance in point
of voting strength; that in the present
disorganized condition of the Repub-
ican party any man who is an oppo-
nent of Democratic nominee can
obtain the united support of the ne
groes and the white Republicans in
the districts and counties where the
Democrats have heretofore had ma.
jority. Therefore, in those districts
that are Democratic by small MAORI
ties the Nationals, by putting for
ward men who are personally popular
and well known in the districts,
stands good chance to draw from
the Democratic candidate sufficient
number of votes to elect their man by
the aid of the united vote of the re-
publicans.
The correspondent thinks that the
Nationals render the first congress
ional district doubtful, and that they
will be successful in the fourth.

The New York Iribune saws:

While the movements of railroad
managers are watched by stock
spectators with reference to the i'm
mediate effect upon narrow and selfish
interests, the whole country ought
movements with care. The restOra-
tiOn of prosperity to the country de-
pends largely upon the management
of the railway interest. A -few in
dividuals, as it happens, have almost
unlimited power over that interest.
If they quarrel. general disaster to
railways follows. If they combine to
fleece the public, general injury to
business and industry of all kinds
must result. The railway kings
ought not TO quarrel and they ought
not to combine, it is prejudicial to
the public interest if they wantonly
destroy vast property which may be
affected by their action. but not less
prejudicial if they conspire to use
their power for the plunder of the
public. Many men are unable to see
that any middle course can be taken.
To them it seems necessary that
railroads should either conspire OF
fight. But neither is necessary.
How cringingly Jay Gould's organ
talks about the power of the railroad
corporations One would think the
people were the bond-slaves of the
roads. and that it was simply a
question how far they were to be
crushed out. Thank God the Supreme
Court of the United States has decided
that the railroad corporations live
and breath at the mercy of the
people; and whenever they combine
too far to impoverish the people there
will be an uprising that will astonish
boards of managers and railroad
presidents.

North Carolina is now represented in
the National house Of representatives
by seven Democrats and one Republi-

made in the late canvass, the new
National party will very materially
alter the political complexion of the

four of the seats now nllcd BY menu

The Pioneer Press, the other day,
discussed Mr.. Thurman's great Green.
back speech in Ohio, and among other
things said:
Mr.. Thurman emphasizes the
saving of taxation by the issue of the
non-interest bearing greenback loan,
but conceals the exactly equal loss of
interest. by every man who has &C.
cepted greenback from government
in payment for service or material.
The whole mystiication and fallacy
arises from the assumption that gov
ernment pays for anything by issuing
a greenback. 1t simply gives an evi-
dence of debt which the receiver
loses both principal and interest upon
until the greenback is redeemed.
Mark the fallacy
John Smith entered for the war in
1851 John Smith was paid ten dollar
greenback on account of his monthly
pay. John sent the $40 bill
to his wife; his wife paid $40 with it
at the grocery; the grocer paid it over
to the carpenter for work; the carpen-
ter bought flour with it and from
that day to this that $40 greenback
has been passing from hand to hand
extinguishing millions of debts. And
now the P. p. says that neither John
Smith nor the grocer, nor the carpen-
ter, ner the miller, nor anybody else
was ever paid cent. If that be so,
would it not be well to stop bowling
about the public credit and the bond
holders and 60 to work and pay John
Smith $40 in gold. What good is it
to John to redeem that note now in
gold It may be two thouscnd miles
away from him in the hands of some
banker. If resumption meant fol-
lowing back the track Of every green
back and making good the loss which
the p. P. says was sustained by every
man woman and child that handled it.,
there might be some equity in the
proposition. But it means nothing of
the kind. It is simply proposition
to make the greenbacks more valuable
to the present holders. Now if the
P. P. is right and the grocer '.lost
principal and interest to ten dollars
when he received that ten dollar
greenback in 1851, would he not be
entitled to sue the government which
compelled him to take it.
Isn't it time to say something about
making up the losses Of the people as
we'll as the bOndholders

A report comes from New York
that the hond-holders are trying to
force Tilden upon the Democrats

We quote:
''Tilden has three trusty men out.
much better than those who spent his
'bar'l of money in the last presiden.
tial campaign. He knows his men
now. and the Tilden movement for the
convention of 1879 is organized beau.
tifully, and has all the money on the
Democratic side. You see there are
4 number of bondholders among the
Democrats who are watching this
matter closely. They would be salts.

All the signs point to the coming

All the signs point to the coming
empire. Here is the last.
The New York Suns Washingtons
special on the possible denomination
of Grant by the republicans. says:
''The scheme requires delicate politi-
cal engineering. Money alone can
furnish the driving power. and that
money, knowing ones aver, is to be
forthcoming. They point with pride
to Mackay's Oriental reception of
Grant in Paris. They say the silver
and railroad kings of Nevada and
California are alarmed. They fancy
that the LabOr-Reformers will despoil
them of their wealth. Mackey makes
no secret of his fears, and Stanford.
Crocker, Hayward, Jones. Sharon and
others. are preparing to follow his
footsteps. With Grant in the chair
at the White House, they think their
accumulatiOnS would be secure. No
constitutional barriers would stand in
his way when his friends were in
danger. He has frequently used the
army without authority, and would
not scruple to do so again. In con-
versation in Virginia City last spring,
Mackey is reported to have said, Il
will give million dollars to secure
Grant the Republican nomination. and
another million to compass his
election, and. once in the White
Housed will give million to keep
him there for life He added that
this might seem strange talk, but he
would put up the money knowing it
to be good investment. The man
ought to insure his house against
fire. Grant is the insurance company
for the Pacific railroad robbers, land
grabbers, and manipulators of railroad
lands, and they have prepared to take
large blocks of stock in him.
Grants candidacy looms up more
and more clearly; and the demand for
'strong government of the
European pattern, bayonets above
and serfs below, becomes every day
stronger.
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-08-22

The ''cOrner" the other day in Ju-
ly wheat, in Milwaukee and Chicago,
is good illustration of one of the
evils inflicted upon the producing
classes of this country by knaves and
sharpers. Mr.. Geech who engineer
ed it stated that the bears with only
1000, 900, bushels of wheat visible in
the whole country had sold over TO-
5000, bushels ''short;;'' thus break.
ing down the market and compelling
farmers to sell the new crop at ruin
Gus prices. Mr.. Geoch thus refers to
them:
l can only call these short sellers
commercial blisters. They are per-
petually lowering prices, selling when
there isn't a bushel to be had, and
they are the complete ruination of
trade"
"What do you think about prices
for August 90
Il think August wheat is liable to
60 to $1.10.'
In conclusion, Mr.. McGeoch hoped
the press would ''go for the
short sellers, who were keeping
down prices, and were the means Of
losing to the farmers many millions
of dollars. He was firm in the belief
that the coming crop is poor in guam
tity and quality, and that prices must
be kept up.
There should be legislation in ev
cry state to punish any man who sells
a bushel of wheat unless he actually
has it in his own possession.

The Pionser-Prsss saws:

Minnesota is IA considerable part of
the grain producing region OF the
west. but smaller part of the grain
region of the nation. and still more
insignificant fraction of the grain re-
gion of the world; and it is the condi-
tion of the worlds product that de-
termsnes prices. and not Minnesota ;
product. The price of gold is fixed.
not in st. Paul commission houses.
nor at the Minneapolis mills, nor even
in Chicago or New York. but in
Liverpool or London; and deficiency
of twenty-five per cent in the wheat
crop of Minnesota looks very small
1000 miles away. The price of wheat
will be high or low, according as the
worlds product is large or small. and
limited localities will gain or lose ac-
cording to the amount Of their prod
uct. without any compensation Of in
creased price on account Of local de-
