find men circulating them a. true and
legitimate campaign material, whom we
are certain know them to be false, we
begin to lose our patience II not our
temper. Gen. Garfield not only has our
respect and confidence. but our highest
esteem, and we do not take kindly to
men who charge him with fraud and
treachery and deceit. We do not care
to retaliate in kind, or to charge them
with being more dishonest than they
charge him with being, but we do say
that they are circulating what they know
to be falsehoods, and. they can figure
out our estimate Of their character at
their leisure. II they lived in some por-
ton Of the country remote from this,
where they had not the opportunity Of
knowing Gen. Garfield's moral standing.
there might be some excuse, but here
there is none, and the man who engages
In villifyfng his character must not ex-
pect the mantle of our charity to be
broad enough to cover his sin.

$l.45; hut the bulk of 1t was In the ele-
yators, or at least contracted, aud SO the
farmers got little benefit from the im-
mense advance. The case was not so
bad with the spring wheat of the North
west, for that was not really Tor ship
ment, and hence not much OF it was
even contracted.
Snow the point we make Is this: il
farmers had been as well Informed MS to
the actual condition at home aud abroad
as were the buyers and spectators,
they would have held for the advance,
unless forced to sell. But how shall
they be so Informed? We reply, we see
no hope of 1t except through concerted
action between the Boards OF Agricu'-
ture of ,nur great grain-producing
States, and this Is the very thing the
Secretary Is trying to work up in his
extended tour through the great West
and I'm his conferences with the Secre-
taries of the Boards of other States.
"If, now, the Secretaries In each State
can, through large number OF reliable
farmer correspondents I'm all parts Of
his State, get the required information
month by month, in regard to the
various crops, condense the result, tele-
graph them to all other Secretaries, and
receive similar kilograms from them,
and take measures to ascertain probable
export demand, he will then be able to
issue a monthly bulletin that shall be
Of real value to the farmers of each
State. Such bulletins, IL concise, ard
yet full and reliable, would be gladly
published by all agricultural AMI local
papers, and even by our great daily
papers, and would be, we believe, eager
ly looked for hy the farmers. Ofcourse
buyers will have equal access to them,
but there can be no objection TO that, as
they already have the information from
their own sources. E
can accurate knowledge of both home
and foreign supply and demand is the
only means OF fixing the fair market
price of grain, and we see no reason
why concerted action on the part Of the
Secretaries can not get and diiIuse such
knowledge. We believe, TOO, our farm
ers will appreciate such work anu
deem the necessary money wisely ex-
peneed."
