WHILE the grain crops of America have
been unusually large this year, some of the
older nations will fall far short of their
anticipated production. Agricultural pur-
suits in Russia have been impeded by the
war, and much injury has resulted from
drought. The crops in India have not by
any means come up to expectation. There
is an estimated deficiency of thirty-two
million bushels in the French wheat crop.
To supply these deficits a great demand
will be made upon American granaries.
This traffic will be an important element
in expediting the return of prosperity.

IL the crash of 1873 the national banks
maintained themselves. Their bill-holders
did not lose dollar. Their depositors
have lost less money than under any other
system of banking ever devised in this
country. While we are considering about
supplanting the national banking system,
which rests upon value in the custody of
the Government, for a system which rests
upon the whim or the caprice of Congress,
it is we'll to bear in mind the good we have

The yellow fever scourge appears to be
nearly as bad as ever. The weather has
been sultry and unfavorable, the fever con
tinues to spread, and the death list con-
tinues to be frightfully large. A very bad
new feature of the plague is that it is
rapidly spreading throughout the country
districts, among the plantations. This se-
riously interferes with the picking of cot
ton, which is in many places spelling on

Hurrah for old Maine Upwards of
sixty Greenback clubs formed in the
last two months, and not much of a
year for clubs any way. We shall see
such Greenback vote rolled up next
fall as will cause weeping and

idols broken, its teachings disregarded
and it's readers running after strange
gods. Gov. Dingley has laborded
faithfully for the success of his
masters cause. It is hard, isn't

building to see the structure falling

committee to interfere with the state
organization of the National party,
but to assist them in forming Il per-
feet and uniform organization. TO
this end the national committee will
furnish weekly lists of councils char
tered in each state to the executive
committee of that state. if there be Il
state organization; and, by the instru-
mentality of this system of councils.
secure the organization of states now
unorganized. From these local coun-
ellis the organization of counties. cities
and states will be developed us the ne
cessities of each locality may demand.
The National committee will pub
lish promptly campaign song book,
and it invites contributions from song
writer's. The songs should be accom-
panied by the music, or should be set
to popular airs. The committee feel,
that this crisis SHOULD bring forth
such songs as similar struggles in be-
half of human rights have inspired.
The committee urges that local or
CARNATIONS be perfected rapidly, and
that tickets be nominated in localities
where there are spring elections. A
success in a city. or town, or town.
ship, or in village, is often the key
to more important victories. The re-
cent gratifying successes of the Ma
tional party in local contests in New
York and Pennsylvania are encour-
aging to the workers in the cause
everywhere. These gains in the east
may be equalled and surpassed else
where by active and Jealous work.
The committee respectfully requests
that Greenback and Labor local or
CARNATIONS now in existence apply for
charters rs National councils that the
unifcation of interests secured with
such harmony and enthusiasm by the
Toledo convention may be utilized.
The national committee invites
communications from the executive
officers of all state organizations of
the National party, that there may
be cooperation and harmonious ac-
ton.
All communications should be ad-
dressed to

The Journal says very large por-

sympathy with the greenback move
ment, but voted the greenback ticket
to express their condemnation of the
doings of big Republican officials. We

the balance and found wanting. But
we have been told the Greenbackers
all come from the Democratic party.

There will be profits in boarding sc
long as prices continue to fall. Wher
