All signs in the political armament point to
general dissolution Of the greenback party.
Resumption and prosperity killed it. In the
darkest days OF business depression the green.
back theory took some hold upon the popular
mind because It promised relief. The people
wanted money, and greenbaekism promised to
supply everybody. The party was strongest at
the beginning Of Its existence. Its Ideas OF
government finances could not bear the light OF
discussion. just as the few men who had
nourtshed the bantliDg known as the "rag
baby began to reap some reward In the way OF
political honors from it. resumption became a
fixed fact, prosperity returned the idle obtained
work, and the party collapsed. In Indiana,
where the greenbackers polled nearly 10000
votes In ISIS, 1t is difficult for them to rally men
enough to make up tickets, here and there

Our Crops this Year.

The estimate upon the wheat crop OF 1850 is
that 1t win reach $50 900 900 bushels and that OF
this $50 600 900 bushels at least. Will be surplus
The flguTers calculate upon this basis, that the
surplus Will exceed the European demand, and
therefore the price viii not be up to the figures
OF the past two years. Anything lower" says
one journal. Twill mean loss of ordinary profits
to thousands of farmers" While IL may mean
loss of ordinary profit" it Will not cause actual
loss TO the farmers. 1t is well understood that
the short crops in Europe for several years
past created an unusual demand for
American wheat. and consequently it com
manded an unusual price. In increasing
their acreage of wheat sown for this year, far
mers were generally advised that they could
not reasonably expect to obtain the prices of
last year, as another failure OF the European
crop would not, probably, occur. The fact Is
that the farmers OF this country can sell wheat
at prices considerably below those of last year,
and still make fair profit. AS has been shown,
with the present facilities for transportation
American wheat can compete Ii European mar
kets, in price, with the production of that coun-
try. Should the abundant yield OF this year re-
duce the price. as it doubtless Will, the demand
Will naturally increase, and the chances are
that fair market Will be found for the Amerl-
can surplus.
1t is already predicted, also, that there will be
an overpTOduct OF cotton this year. 1t IS e5tl-
mated that the aggregate crop OF the southern
states Will reach 6.250, 900 bales, aud that only
100000 bales can be expected 10 find market
abroad, leaving the Temainder-2 go, OOO-for
home consumption. In the first place this esti-
mate is too large. The crop OF this year, from
all accounts, will exceed that OF last year, but
not by any such figures as are given IN the esti-
mate here quoted. In some portions OF the
south the cotton worm is doing considerable
damage, and, upon the whole. it looks as II
b,500,O0O bales would be a pretty liberal eSti-
mate for the aggregate crop of this year. In 1915
home manufacturers used SIS, 800 bales, and
In 1879 home consumption Increased to ,1O5, OOO
1t is reasonable to conclude that the increase in
home consumption this year viii be proportion
ately greater than that Of 1879 over 1878, be-
cause OF the continued improvement In busi-
ness of all kinds Besides, the number of cot
ton factories has been increased, and those that
were IL existence year ago are now running
on full time and are employing their utmost
capacity TO meet the demand upon them. The
indications are that cotton will command a
price that will yield fair profit to the planter

OUR COUNTY FARMERS.
An Interesting Meeting of the Farmer,
Club.

NluD.
LIBERTY DIsTRlcr, March 20.
Editors IntelliEsneer.
The last meeting Of the Farmers Club
OF the District was one OF more than usual
interest. At previous meeting the Club
bad offered premium for the best seed
corn, and adopted as a standard sixty.
eight pounds in the ear to the bushel. A
committee OF three was appointed to ex'
anime the specimens presented and award
the premium. This committee consisted
OF VIM. W. Foreman, A. McColloch and
S. S. Jacob.
Five sacks OF corn, backed by as many
hard.handed farmers, were presented to
the committee for examination, who al
once proceeded to weigh it carefully in
the ear, after which the corn was shelled
and again weighed with the following re.
suit:
No. /, 6s lbs. in the ear, sheled IS lbs.
No. 9, IS lbs; Nos. 3 and 4, 81 lbs; No. 5,
SO lbs.
The committee awarded to first premium
to ]. B. Whitman for No. l, and the sec.
ond to James Dixon for No. 9.
The prize corn was then sold to the
members Of the Club.
Samples OF oats were also examined and
tho premium awarded TO VIM. Ray, whose
oats weighed AZ pounds to the bushel.
This club seems TO be in fair way to
prosper. It now numbers twenty mem
bers. Committees are appointed on spe-
cialties, and the reports OF these commit
tees afford all the members opportunities
to express their views and ask questions.
A Committee on Exposition has been APP
pointed, which will report at the next
meeting. 1t has been thought advisable
by some to try to revive the Liberty cat.

OF this nature seems to be absolutely me-
Cessary to infuse new life and a Just pride

The recent boom for the Wheeling and

dying out fast, and from whatwe are able
to gather, II the question is put to a vote
for the county to vote a sum for its fur
therance, it will be defeated by large
majority, except that the proposed route
Wheeling creek be taken. tits claimed
that theriver route would be but little or
no advantage to the county, while the
creek route would open up and develop
some Of the richest farming country in the
State at about the same cost-as large
donations would be given. There Is every
reason to believe that the projectors have
determined on the river route, as thereby
they would not only have the use OF the
P. G. & st. L. extension from Benwood TO
Wheeling-by the use OF third raiI-but
would have close connection to and from
the West, by the B. & o. R, R., at Ben
wood. That the road would pay on either
route there can be no question, -but at the
present time 1t seems that all the assist
