SILVER in London is quoted at 534d. per
ounce. The London Economist says the
rate for money is down TO 2f per cent,
and even that quotation cannot in all
cases be adhered to. The hopes of peace
and cheaper money have raised prices in
all the speculative stock markets. Invest
ment business has generally not much
improved, Notwithstanding the large
amount of money thrown into the consOls
and the somewhat free buying of United
States bonds. The alarm having to some
extent Subsided as TO the extreme meas
ures which might result from the silver
agitation in America, the abundance OF
money on the London, German and the
American markets, has led to the pur-
chase of United States bonds, and there
is a rise of about one all around. Reports
are now to the effect that not only is the
resistance to legislative measures which
contemplate the substitution of silver fol
gold payments stronger, but that the sill
yer party itself is losing strength, and
whatever compromise should be adopted
it is now more generally hoped that tn,
coin in which the bonds are expressed t,
be paid will be, as heretofore, gold. Th'
London Times financial article says tha
some gold from private stores is in cours,
of transmission to the United States an,
some is likely to be wanted for German,
this week, but there is no probability o
these operations extending beyond tn
limits of what the London open marke

JANUARY I6. 1878.

The NATION Is groaning like o tempest
tossed ship at sea without an aexperien-
ced captain. We want craftsmanship at
Washington. The efforts of too many
pretendefs to political economy are d.
rected only to serve the rich and opuleflt.
Labor is being overborne by taxation
and there is no relief. Even those who
propose to do something to relieve the
people are confused and misled by the
adversaries and opponents of the labor
ing classes. 1t appears, indeed, too true,
as Senator Thurman said the other day in
the Senate, that all Legislation was for the
non-producers. The 1aborer and the cul-
tiyator OF, the soil, have no, chance with
the cunning lawyers, brokers and bank
ers who bribe the press and distort the
truth to suit their case in every campaign.
When such grave Senators as Mr Beck,
of Kentucky, fan into such blunders as
to propose to prohibit silver coming to
the country, there is little to be hoped for
in this Congress-. No wonder we have
no commerce, and labor is borne down 70
such low prices-i If a ship were to sal
into one of our ports now, loaded with
the most precious goods, and her captain
offer to buy lands or their products, he
would be told he must first buy gold and
thus it is commerce is curtailed ; apd We
are told by Senator Beck thatif a ship con
tanning hundred millions of silver were
to come here She should not be allowedtt
land it, until an agreement was first mait
TO buy gold 1t would be just as reasona
able to turn back a hundred thousane
emigrants each with one hundred thous
and dollars their pockets, because tn,
bullion was not in gold. The wcole bust
ness of the government is To trade II
gold. Everything is depressed and ye
the bondhoiders demand gold when the,
were promised coin. The cunning de
vices which are thus made to saw
and cheat the people are the work o
John Sherman, an imperious, money
getting, money-loving Radical, and ye
we find Democratic Senators from tn
South abandoning the Democratic part
to support the oppressors and max
harder the oppression. .....

as yon see IN many local papers, and vet, it
advocates good, old Democratic doctrine.

And this is what the little boy said, when
asked by his teacher, what lie had read late

elephants, and about the monkeys in South
America, and how high palm trees grow, and
how banana and nutmeg trees grow, and all
about great large snakes, found in the forests
OF South America, and white bears that live
among the ice and snow in the Arctic Ocean.

ness of the Creator be shown much better in
the productions and wonders of nature than
in the exciting stories you find in Sunday
School libraries. Children know that they
are not true. A book was picked up some
time ago by your correspondent, in country

Harry the Whaler, showing the wisdom of

The Wheat Crop Of 1878.

Mr.. W. l.. Fawcett, whose carefully elab-
GRATED estimate of the wheat crop of the
United States last year is generally acknowl-
edged to have been approximately correct,
has made an equally exhaustive and careful
estimate Of the crop of the present year. The
principal sources from which he has drawn
the facts upon which his estimates are based
are the reports of the agricultural bureau as
published from time to time up TO the period
OF harvest, and local accounts, official and
otherwise, of the number of acres planted to
spring and winter wheat respectively, and the
probable yield of the same. To the data
thus furnished he has added statistical tables
showing the crops and acreage of wheat in
the United States from 1872 to 1878, inelu-
sive, the average yield per acre for each year,
together with the total annual exports of
wheat and wheat -four from 1871 to lS77-7S.
From these we gather that the annual number
of acres seeded to wheat in the United States
has increased from 20, S51 1853 acres in 1852
TO "a 800, 900 acres in 1878, and that the total
number of bushels produced has increased
from 249, 9O7, LOOM 1872 to 4O7, OOO, 900 bush
els IN 1878, but that, notwithstanding the
large amount of new soil brought under the
pillow, there has been a steady though not uni
form decline in the agreeable yield-the aver
age yield per acre from 1872 to 1874, inclu-
sive, being 1888 bushels, whilst the yield
from 1875 to 1873, inclusive, averaged but
1918 bushels
Turning now to the question of surplus
wheat for export, the following figures show
the total exports of wheat, or the equivalent
of wheat in the shape of -four, for each fiscal
year mentioned:
