Wool and Mutton.

Wool is low; aud wool producers
look in vain tor any hopeful sign of re-.
turning high prices. Threatened chan.
ges in the tariff cause uncertainty:
which inevitably acts unfavorably upon
the production Of an important staple
like wool. But with or without a
tariff. we have no fear that wool can
not be proftably produced in this
country. We have an enormous busi-
ness in manufacturing woollen goods,
which must be supplied with home
grown material. Not many months
ago We gave come facts in this regard
which have been wildly repuhlished by
other journals and which will still be
fresh in the memory of our readers.
Those facts showed conc|usively that
no kind of wool we could produce
could go begging for market while
the people needed carpets blankets and
woollen clothing We shall probably
have to wait many years before seeing
wool sell at dollar pound; perhaps
it may never bring that figure again
But as rule sheep pays its expenses
with its wool, and gives us a lamb as
profit under the worst Of circumstances.
This ought to be satisfactory. Further
than this. the sheep husbandman of
this country must pay more attention
to mutton; instead Of being quite sec
ondary, it should be of equal impor-
.ance with wool, and when it IS so con
silercd. and breeding is conducted ac-
cordingly, the price of wool will no
longer determine the absolute profits
or losses Of the business. Mutton pro
duction has been greatly neglected by
our sheep farmers; but on the lower
prices of wool, we trust it may take its
due prominence, as the demand is in
creasing, and always brings a relatively
high price. As in all cases "the best,
pays the best" it is the business Of far.
mers to choose that kind Of sheep
which will give the most and best wool,
the highest quality Of mutton, and
which are sure and prolific breeders.
Even in the far West, where wool
should pay handsomely at 25 cents a
pound, and where pasture is the chea-
past. it is found to pay the best to in
fuse pure blood into the flock, thereby
producing superior wool. How much
more then should Eastern wool grow
ers fin3 it to their interest to improve
their focks so as better to meet the
present difficulties American Agri-

The MGrnons.

A couple Of weeks since, Secretary
Schurz received a letter. dated at OK
den. Utah, giving an account Of some
Of the internal practices Of the Mcr,
mon priesthood in Utah and idaho
Territories The letter states that
there are large number Of co opera :
tive stores conducted by Mormons. at
which large quantities of ammunition
are furnished the Indians. The Nor
mon priesthood have constantly mis-
siouaries among the indians. The
later are converted to Mornonism
and taken through the endowment
hoase, where they (the Iadians) pledge
themselves to support this priesthood,
and they are called by the Mormons
"Our little battle-azes." Therefore
almost every Indian war is carried on
directly or indirectly By this preist.
hood, and therefore this traffic OF am :

hood is to intimidate non. .Mormons
from getting the valleys anywhere
within 500 miles Of Salt Lake, for the
purpose of keeping the lands vacant
until By the natural, steady and rapid
growth Of Mormonism the priesthood
can colonize the unoccup;ed region
That is, the Mormons make friends
with the brutal savages and at the
same time inc:te in them hatred to-

A New Feature in Grading.

One Of the complications arising out
Of the July wheat operations in Chica.
90 is of peculiar Interest, as showing
how under certain conditions grain can
be absolutely reduced in grade while
advanced in value. The Operations
OF the recent corner" were entirely in
No. 2 spring wheat Under ordinary
circumstances winter wheat commands
from ix to twelve cents per bushel
more than the same grade of spring
but during the closing days Of July,
under the mauipu'a,,ons OF the bulls,
spring wheat was sold at a premium OF
Twelve cents per bushel over winter.
Some years ago, to break down dis
honest custom in vogue of mixing win
ter with spring wheat, and forcing the
whole upon upon the maket as winter
wheat, the Chicago board Of trade
adopted the following rule:
"In case of mixture of sprin, and
winter wheat, it will be called spring
wheat and graded according to quality
thereof"
Ordinarily thi, rue has worked well
bu, when, under the operations of The
recent corner, spring VIII at advanced
to price far above its real value, the
bears took advantage of the rule and
commenced covering their shorts by
delivering large quantities Of the spriD :
cereal The inspector of grain had nl
alternative unde: the rule but to in
spect aad grade the grain thus mixed
as spring wheat and the bears were
thereby enabled to meet their contracts
SO long as the supply Of winter wheat
lasted, at very considerable saving

The Congressional Issues.

The congressional campaign of 1873
will likely prove one Of the most hotly
contested we have see since the war.
The purposes and policies of the two
parties are now known to the country
Every man who pays any sort of at
tention to the conduct and spirit OF
the two parties, can hardly be led as
tray as 10 the real issues of the cam
pasn. The prize is the House of Re-
representatives.. For three regular ses.
SONS it has been under the manage.
ment of the Democratic party. The
simple issue Is, shall the popular branch
Of the legislative government be con-
trolled by the Conicderates and their
northern allies or shall it be governed
by the progressive and loyal element
Of the country? The reasons why
the democratic party should not gov
ern the country are substantial and
national, and not partisan nor local.
They concern the spirit and conduct
of the general government in regard to
the vital questions Of our political sit
uation. No man, who takes time to
think Of the subject, and who appreci-
ates its Importance, can suppose that
the tremendous conflict of the past
thirty years upon the slavery question,
could end in long and terrible war
that destroyed whole industrial sys-
tenn, and radically and totally changed
our political aud social relations, with.
out leaving situation which is not
settled because of which is called re-
construction,
It does not follow, and it is not true,
that everything is precisely as it was
before, with the exception of slavery,
merely because there are no armies in
the field, and because the states have
resumed their relation to the Union.
The democratic party is not strong
among the whites Of the south because
it is the party of union and liberty,
but because it is not party of liberty
and union, and because it opposed
republican administration in prosecut,
ing the war for the sole purpose Of
maintaining the Union. It is not sur.
prising that by far the greater portion
Of the whites in the south are demo
crats-nov as they were four years
preceding 1860 The same element
which brought on the crisis Of 1861,
is still in the south, and must be
fought as vigorously at the ballot box,
as it was fought in the field.

A number of leading southern pa

are pronoutcing positively against the

The Augusta Chronicle, speaking on
this subject, says: People are actulIy

courts and jurics may suddenly unite

Trey profess to desire the abolition OF
the national bank sYs.s,n, and yet have
nominated as theta candidates for Con-
