branches of manufacture, though great many
mills which depend upon water power, especially
in New-England, are stopped at present by
drouth.
During the week Mr.. Dodge, the statistician
of the Agricultural Bureau, has made state
ment as to the probable effect of recent frosts
upon the corn crop, which entirely corresponds
with the. opinions expressed some days earlier
by THE TRIBUNE. If the yield of corn exceeds
1,6OO, 900, 900 bushels, as he anticipates, the
available supply, including the quantity left
over from last year, will much exceed the
largest quantity ever consumed and sold In
any year thus far. Later reports indicate that
the yield of spring wheat will be larger than
has been expected, and crop of 42O, OOO,O0O
bushels, with O surplus Of over 5O,OOO,OOO
bushels from last year. will give wheat sup
ply considerably exceeding the largest guam
tity ever consumed and exported in any year
hitherto. That the crop of oats Is much the
largest ever grown no one disputes. Cotton
is the only important crop which seems likely
TO fall short materially, and the surplus both
of goods and of raw material from last years I'M
precedented yield will do much to compensate
for the loss, Dut III Is noL yeI possioio w "o
termine how much harm the recent drouth
has done. On the whole, however, the country
is well past the point of danger for the
wear 1888, and can confidently anticipate
a season Of abundant supplies, of large
commercial transactions, though probably
at low prices, and of ample employment for
transporters and operatives except in quarters
where the facilities provided or the producing
capacity existing are much in advance of the
rrosent nepds of the country.

STR4DDLES BY DEMOCRACY,

Perhaps it was well that MIR. Hendricks
should unbosoIn himself on the tar.h question
TO the Democrats of Iowa, rather than to those
of Ohio. The Ohio platform of the Democratic
party straddles more widely than Mr.. Hem
bricks ever did, though he has had some repu-
tation in that direction. On such a platform,
his reported remarks at an Iowa meeting would
have been quite out of place. He does not pro-
fess to be protectionist with iree-trade lean
ings, nor free-trader who believes in protec
ton But it is stated that his remarks caused
much excitement, because they did not come up
to the Iowa standard OF Democracy-"a tarifl
for revenue only" His attempt to make it ap-
pear that the Democratic platforms in Iowa,
Ohio, and Indiana were essentially the same
was in his own inimitable vein-brassy and
cool. But his explanation of this position,
which he assumed the Democrats of these great
States had taken, was not successful; it needs
more explanation than either of the platforms.
Mr.. Hendricks dissents from those Who would
have a tariff for revenue only @rudely and
roughly enacted, so as TO disturb or destroy
useful inv estments already made, or important
enterprises already undertaken" One finds

a correspondent of THE TRIBUNE points out
in another column, this year the Bay state
Republicans are thoroughly united. They
have no rival candidates in the usual sense
of the word; no contests, no pledging Oh aei-
egates A free convention OF CONSCIENTIOUS
delegates is everywhere demanded. VI the
men mentioned as likely to receive the
vote of such convention, Congressman hop-
inson and Mr.. Henry L. Pierce are at present
most prominent. Either of them, it is De-
leved, would give General Butler such a
defeat as would be novelty even to him
accustomed as the veteran is to being
