Tho Wheat Crop,

The wheat crop of Illinois and of the
northwest generally will be immensely
profitable this year. In this state the
total yield will not perhaps exceed in
bushels the production OF some favorable
years in the past, but the condition of the
grain is greatly superior to that of any
crop heretofore produced.
The great surplus OF wheat over the
amount required for home consumption
must of course fad its market abroad,
and in view of this fact the question OF
free trade becomes of vital interest to
every farmer So long as our tariff is so
arranged as to discourage the Importation
Of foreign goods, so long the foreign mar
ket for our food products is 10 greater or
less proportion reduced. The ordinary
impression that the protective system
operates only as bar to purchasing goods
in the markets, is the result of superfne
thought, and but little reflection is re-
quired to show it so to be. The great evil
of the tariff system-that Of reducing the
market for over productions has been for
years and is now most severely felt. With
free trade the ports of the world would
be open for our productions and prices
would always be steady and remunorative.

his election to corrupt returning boards
and federal supervisors, has issued his
edict that the marshals bill as passed by
the house of representatives.. is not accord
ing to his idea Of maintaining republican
supremacy and accordingly sends 10
veto. It surprises no one, and now It Is
70 be hoped that congress will at once
adjourn and let the bill fail. It is folly to
temporize with this fraudulent pretendel
at Washington, May as well adjourn and
teach him that the majority. which Is the
people, must and will rule. His feignec
anxiety in regard to the laws comes with
i'll grace from a man who owes bis election
to the crimes of those whom he seeks tt
protect, The unblushing impudenee Will
which this man Hayes talks of purity II
elections is in keeping with his record
when he knowingly aided in the consum
nation of the greatest crime ever perpe
trated against free people. To hea
Hayes talk about purity IN elections sound
like the deyil reproYing sin. Send IN you
vetoes, Mr.. Hayes, but for decency's SAX
don't prate about purity in elections.
