Consumption of wheat in England.

1t estimated that about six bushels of
wheat are consumed yearly by each person
in the United Kingdom. On an average,
six bushels weigh about $50 pounds, and,
when ground, produces 2s0 pounds of -four
and about 100 of bran aud ''offal." Flour
is usually sold in sacks Of $50 pounds, SO
that the annual consumption is a sack a
head for each inhabitant Assuming the
population of the United Kingdom to be
$4,000, 900, it appears that our requirements
are in round numbers 26,000,a0 quarters .ot
wheat, or 35,000,000 sacks of -four. The
Times, not long since, estimated the home
crop OF wheat for 1882 at fully 10000, 600
quarters, so that nearly 100000 quarters,
or their equivalent in -four, must be i'm
ported within the year to keen up the
supply. America, Algiers and Egypt, the
Contenent, India and Australia, all contri-
butte to our wants; and as the haryest-time
varies more or less in each, ew wheat is
sent us from the country where the supply
is at the time most plentiful whenever
prices are sufficient to stimulate importa-
tion. The inostimable boon to this country
of these supplies cannot be exaggerated.
When butchtrmeat is rising in price, when
potatoes are poor crop, and in Ireland a
very small crop bread becomes more and
more a staple food for the lower classes tc

TIE TRADE DOLLAR.
Col. Snowden's Idea of the Duty OF Con-
grass in Tie Matter

Col Snowden's Idea of the Duty of Con-
gress in the Matter.
Col. A. Louden Snowden, Superintendent
of the Philadelphia mint, gives the follow
ing opinion of the trade dollar trouble;
The United States permitted th coin
(out of which is made no prohJ) TO be rs
sued bearing its name engraved and the
value stamped thereon. By an err r in leg
islation the trade dollar was given legal
tender power in the payment OF debts,
which il continued to have for three years,
when this power was Withdrawn, thus
farther misleading the people as to
its purposes and character. The great
mass uf the people were not Informed,
nor did they know The true character OF the
coin, and hence, seeing IL coin Of the
United States took IL freely at its nominal
vaiue. The coins are now largely in the
hands OF laboring people and small dealers,
and unless reliet is granted the loss will fa!l
upon those persons least able TO bear the
same. II they are not exchanged in standard
dollars they will continue to be "A vexattous
element in our daily business transactions,
one that should not be tolerated by an intelli-
gent nation. They should be exchanged by
the Government and retired from circulation
If for no other reason than that 1t is MOI

The Efficacy OF Vaccination.


In the last century, before vaccination
was discovered, the mortality from small
COX was 5000 per million. With voluntary
vaccination the proportion was reduced To
900 per million ,Stateaid vaccination reduced
it to sos, and compulsory vaccination
brought 1t down to l48. 1t is not necessary
to attribute this vast and beneficent reduc-
lion in the viruleuct of loathson1e and
dreaded disease entirely to vaccination
Sanitation may be credited with its fair share
tut its share is limited, and can as Sir Lyon
Playfair showed, be determined with reason
able precision while the reduction In the
prevalence of smallpox concurrently with
successive increases in the strngeney with
which vaccination has been enforced cstab-
fishes presumption if favor of vaccination
so strong as to amount in the minds of rea-
sonable men to practical certainty. So much
for the argument that vaccination is no
protection against smallpox. AS for the
statement that vaccination may in certain
cases induce other diseases, it must be ad-
mitted that in rare and exceptional cases
such communication has taken place. But
The Gvit euects due to TINS cause cannot for
moment be compared to the infinitely
greater beneficial effects due to vaccination
| when unaccompanied by any such effects
Where 1000 persons in 900, 900 would have
died of smallpox in the last century, only
| 1856 out ,000,O00 will die iu the present day
and probably not one out Of 900 600 ofvac
| cinated persons ever suffers evil effects from
| mprudent or infected vaccination. Ever
| If the proportion can be shown to be fal
| greater, that is only reason for greater
| care and caution in the practice Of vaceina
| lion, and affords no ground whatever fo
| abandoning the practice altogether.

Presidential Gossip.

In order to partially affect the midsum-
mer dullness prevailing in news circles. the
New York Times has been making presi-
Dental canvas, and yesterday published
communications from 344 persons OF
both parties, representing the thirty
thirty-eight States of the Union. The re-
suit is interesting both as to the drift of the
sentiment thus expressed and the great
variety Of candidates for whom preference
is given,
Iu the responses from presumed ''repre-
&C SENTATIVE Democrats, Tilden is by odds
the iavorite, he having 100 adherents,
scattered through S2 States. Mcdonald.
follows with 7215 admirers in 81 States,
Bayard, 31H in 15 States and Hancock, rs
in II States. The others are Governor
Butler, 201S; Thurman, 1712; Governor
Cleveland, II; Randall 5; Roswell
Flower, 4: Judge Hoadley, Democratic
candidate for Governor OF Ohio, 4; William
r. Morrison of Illinois, 3;ex-S Senator Eaton,
9; Joel Parker, 2; Abram s. Hewitt, 2; Hen
bricks, i; Jewett, !; Palmer, l; and Eng
lish, !.
The Republican preferences are equally as
varied, Blaine leading off with 103, the
Others being as follows: Arthur, g.;
Edmunds, 5715; Grant, 10; john Sherman,
IT, Logan, II; lincoln, 1aIGj Bon H@rri
son, IL: w. T. sherman, o. Judge Gresham,
4; Fairchild, 4; Hawley, 2; Cornell, 2; ALI
son, .; S. F. Miller, 2; Sheridan, l.; Folger,
1: Window, l.
All these candidates are "frst choice, ''but
the subsequent choices are still more
remarkably varied, and run the
candidates up to total of Al
Republicans and 40 Democrats. The
absurdity of some Of these secondhand
preferences is apparent when it is stated
that the Democratic list contains the names
of John Kelley, Chas. A. Dana, Vim. II.
English, ard a dozen or more completely
unknown to the country at large, while
among the Republicans the names
.oC Conkling, Gov, Cullum of Hi
noise, Eugene Hale, exGov. Hoy
OF Pennsylvania, Teller of Colorad o, Pott
of New Jersey, and others of like characte
are conspicuous.
Besides his twenty-five first preferences
Mr. Bayard finds warm admirers in ever
state III Ine Union, VINO view MN idNoTduly
next to their personal idols. Blaine occu
pies the same position among the Republi
cans.
The Democratic sentiment of Delaware il
OF course unanimously for Mr. Bayard
while the Republicans, it is said, ar
"divided about equally among Blaine
q Arthur and Edmunds, but with leaning
g toward Blaine, as he is certainly the sec
e ond choice, and Edmunds is the third
g Harrison is also mentioned" This, how
ever, is an opinion by way of New York, bu
if Delaware Loes not send an out and ou
Arthur delegation to the next Republican
National Convention it will be because tha
immaculate statesman is not in the Pres
Dental race.
OF course nothing is settled, or even ind
Gated, by the scattered sentiment thu
gathered by the Industrious editors of til
Times, 1t simply expresses the pers soni
opinions of men in all portions of the coul
try, and amounts to nothing more than
Iut or puHtrcaI gossip, interesting to reat
but in nowise aiding the chances of an
