The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1879-06-10

We had an agreeable call yesterday
from the Hon. c. 7. Butler, OF Jefferson
county, late Senator from the Twelfth
West Virginia district, who is now in this
part Of the State in pursuance Of his du-
ties as Lecturer OF the Grange order, de-
vering addresses to the members Of the
organization in various localities. He lee
tured last evening in the eastern part OF
this county, and will speak in Brooke and
perhaps other counties before he returns.
Senator Butler is an intelligent farmer
and very sociable and agreeable gentle
man, but we fear that he does not always
give the farmers the right kind OF doctrine
on the financial questions Of the day. He
alluded. yesterday to the fact that the
papers published in the cities seemed
to be printed in the interest Of hard
money views, in contradistiuction, as It
were, to the views held by farmers on the
money question. Our position is that no
class OF men in the country are moro in
teresled in sound currency than the far.
mers. They are the producers, to a large
extent, Of our exports. They raise the
wheat, corn and pork that are now going
abroad in such vast quantities, and that
have turned the balance Of trade so largely
in favor OF this country. The price OF
their products is established abroad on a
hard money basis. We do not fix the
value OF such products in this country, but
We do fix their cost to us. Cost is one
thing and value is another. The cost can
lie enhanced by poor currency OF our
own, but the value is fixed by the cur
rency OF the world in the markets OF
Europe. Hence the value OF bushel
Of wheat or corn, or OF barrel
Of pork, is fixed by competition
in Liverpool, lIavrc and Bremen, and wa
must sell in those markets in competition
with foreign producers. Until recently
Russia could undersell US in wheat in
those markets, and she made the price,
and continues to make it, at which we
must sell our wheat. She sells on gold
basis and so must we. This we must do
regardless OF what the wheat may cost us to
raise Hence. our safety as wheat rails
ing country is in the soundness Of our cur
rency, and our consequent ability to pro-
ducc wheat cheap enough to sell it in
Europe as low as it can be raised and
marketed by the Mediterranean and
Black Sea countries.
Much as we complain in this country
al this time Of low prices, they have
really been our salvation. We owe our
balance Of trade to them, and we would
lose that balance and commence once
more to export specie il we were to again
initiate prices. The only security we have
for the continuation of specie payments is
IN our continued exports, and initiation
would be fatal to these exports. Hence
farmers, US a class, are specially interested
IN keeping down the cost OF producing
their crops by guarding the soundness ol
our currency.

State, reports that successful experiments
have been made in Italy In the use Of
borax instead OF salt for the preservation

point whether borax is entirely innocu.
Gus. For daily use it is found that butter
keeps fresh in water which contains only
three per COntum Of borax. Some new
borax minerals have been discovered near
Florence, one OF which Professor Dana, Of

using borax instead Of salt. 1t Is also
said that borax is a specific against the

How Ohio German Democrats Will Vote.
The well.known German Democratic
newspaper, the Cincinnati TolksbIaN, says
OF the Ohio Democratic ticket: "The
meaning OF General Ewing's nomination
is too clear to need a lengthy explanation.
BY it the Democratic party of Ohio again
places itself on the ground which it occu.

victory, It owed heavy defeat. A stand.
point which was senselcSs in 1875 is, un.
der the present changed circumstances,
doubly culpablc. The business dead lock
which then existed has given way to new
life in every branch Of trade and com.
merce. The cry about a contraction Of the
currency is hushed. Resumption has be-.
come fact. The finance question is set

his old erratic teachings, who does not re-

A FATE



CINCINNATI, June "a Commercial spe.
cial from Grayson, Ky, reports the horri.
BILE murder Of husband by his wife in
Carter county. Squire Jones, a farmer,
residing on Buffalo Fork OF Tygert's Creek,
had become infatuated with courtesan,
and on Friday last attempted TO bring her
into his house. His wife resented the in.
suit, and after hot words between them
Jones threatened her with knife. She
seized small axe and with the blunt por.
ton knocked him down and endeavored
to escape. He recovered quickly and
rushed after her. She turned to protect
herself and struck him over the head with
the sharp edge OF the weapon, cleaying
his skull and killing him Instantly.

row, in order thatthe furnace fires may be
relighted on Monday.
The Pittsburgh Commercial! Of yesterday
contained the following remarks on the
changein the situation in consequence Of
the signing OF the scale:
1.-THE action OF the iron manufacturers,
on Saturday, resolving that 1t is inexpedi-
emit to further resist, at this time, the un.
Just demands Of the boilers, was followed
by a general signing Of the old scale, and
the ending OF the lockout almost before
1t had been rightly begun. The whole
will rejoice that our mills are
to be kept running, since a lockout OF
even two or three months duration would |
have most disastrous effect upon many
industries, and would have entailed indi-
rect losses upon all classes. The enforced
ldleness OF fifteen or sixteen thousand
hands-to say nothing OF the losses which
would have resulted from driving trade to
other places, and the paralYzinH Of millions
OF capital-would have been calamity,
The effects OF which would have been felt
for years. The iron manufacturers accept
the situation under protest; or, more
properly speaking, sign the scale in the
hope thatit will prove less injurious to
their interests than prolonged
struggle, in which they would
have had to sacrifice their trade,
rs mill owners in other sections
seemed only'too willing to take advantage
oftheir necessities. II the iron business
improves, as many think it will, the man
ntacturers may yet get through the year
without incurring losses. At all events,
they have determined to trust to the
Iuture; and since the prosperity OF these
hinges so largely on their
success, all will join in hoping that their
lnticipations may be fully realized.
