EXCESS OF GRAIN AND ITS PRO
DUCTS.

From careful examination of the
agricultural statistics of the country
we find the production of grain, par
ticularly wheat, in the United States,
far in excess Of the demand. We
mean by this that the prices of grain
in consequence of an over-supply, are
now below the actual cost of produc-
ton. For some time our wheat and
its products have far exceeded that
required to feed our own people, and
consequently have had to export,
which brings us directly in COMPETE
ton with India, Egypt, Russia, and
other wheat growing countries. We
cannot successfully compete with the
cheap labor Of these wheat producing
countries. 1t is said that India pro-
duces wheat at a cost of from 81 to As
cents per bushel. At the present
prices of labor it costs majority of
the farmers of the United States near
ly twice as much. We will either
have to procure cheaper labor or
abandon the idea of exporting wheat.
India is likely to be our most power
full competitor.
The increase in production of wheat
in the United States for the last
ten years has been far greater in
proportion than the increase in popu-
latiOn. This gives us a large surplus,
which we are compelled to export
even though we do not get the cost of
production. We are not only COM
PEELED to sell this surplus, often at less
than cost, but it demoralizes and de-
presses the home markets. The true
policy would be to produce only what
is required at home, and demand and
receive a reasonable compensation
for the same. A home market is al
ways preferable. The question for
the American farmer to consider is,
whether he can, or should, attempt to
compete with the cheap labor of other
wheat producing countries in growing
grain to feed the world. We think ii
would be well to study the question
as to whether it would not be to his
interest to produce only or but little
more than enough to supply the home
demand. Our average surplus is
about 20 per cent Of the whole crop.
Would it not be more profitable to re-
duce the production 20 per cent and
sell the remainder at better prices !
Eighty per cent sold at Shopper bush
el at home would pay better than lOC
per cent sold at 70 cents per bushel
1t would not be considered wise fol-
any farmer to make a business OF
growing any crop for market which
he could not sell for the cost of pro.
duction. The same principle will APP.
ply to community or a nation. Il
the United States are furnishing for.
eign demand, or even a home de-
mand, at less than cost of production,
the sooner it is stopped the better.
These are questions of importance
and should be carefully studied and
discussed through the agricultural
andother journals of the country. We
must reduce our production until il
will conform to the home demand
The true interest of the farmer is tC
increase the number of consumers al
home, and 50 regulate his crops as tC
have demand for everything at q
profit. But how are we to increase
the home demand? The policy Of
the farmer is to encourage the building
up Of manufactures Of every descrip,

Cooke City Mines.
IJDter-Mountain,

From Mr.. John Nagle, who arrived in
Butte last Saturday, from Cook City, Gal
latin county, we learn that mining enter
prises are in flourishing condition in that
promising section. About $50 men are en-
gagged in prospecting and new finds are
constantly being made. Some exceedingly
fine properties are being developed. Mr..
w. A. Armstrong, U. S. r. r. commissioner,
recently refused $158,OO0 for the Daisy
mine The Homestake is bonded to MIR.
Armstrong for $4,000. The Aurora mine,
owned by Lam Nagle & Co., is developed
by tunnell 10 feet in length and is show
ing up finely. 1t is a real bonanza. The
ledge is thirty-twO feet in width, the ore
sampling, on an average, $94 so per ton.
This is the great mine of the district and
will compare favorably in volume of Ore
and uniformity of pay with any other of
the leading mines in the Territory. Cook
City has all the elements of a prosperous
mining section, and the time is not far dis
tant when it will become one of the lead
ing mining centeIs Of the great west. There
are many other mines in the district of
known value among which is the Republic,
owned by Major Eaton.

Petition for a Reward =.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August 21.-Four of
the leading Mormon elders to-day present
ed a sworn petition to Governor Bates, ask
ing that a reward be offered for the appre-
hension of those engaged in the Lewis
county massacre on Sunday, August 10th.
The petition sets forth that the prejudice
against the Mormons Of this State is based
on ignorance it denies the charge that the
Mormons have baptized women in a nude
state; also that Mormon elders have ever
tried to break up families or mislead wo-
men. 1t further denies that the MormOns
have ever attempted tointroduce polygamy
into Tennessee OF any other State, and sets
forth that every elder at work in the south
ern mission is pledged by most sacred VOWS
to chastity.
Governor Bates will offer reward as
asked tomorrow. 1t is believed that the
massacre in Lewis county will have the eff
feet Of discouraging mission operations in
this State

But float forever in the sky,
Dimming the stars that shine in memory,
Destroying hope and causing love from earth TO

Leaving with wounds deadly smart;
Expiring breath that taints the very air,
VIII ye forever leave your victims to despair?

That We have caused to flow; the fears
We have begot and made to mountains grow,
Crushing the innocent beneath a weight of woe,

In heaven darkening the sun;
Bv weary journeys without delay,
To wend your dreary way unto the judgment

THE SONG OF THE GOSSIP.

One old maid
And another old maid,
And another old maid-thats three
And they were a gossiping, am afraid,
As they sat slipping their tea.
They talked of this,
And they talked of that,
In the usual gossiping way
Until everybody was as black as your hat,
And the only ones white were they.
One old maid,
And another old maid
For the third had gone into the street
Who talked in a way of that third old maid
Which never would do to repeat.
And now but one
Dame sat all alone,
For the others were both away.
I've never vet met, said she with groan
such scandalous takers as they.
Alas and alack
We're all of a pack!
For no matter how we walk,
Or what folks say to our face, our back
Is sure to breed gossi p and talk"

Grand Reception TO Logan.

KALAMAZOO. Mich, August 22-Gen
Logan Was received with great CeIuOnstra-
tions OF enthusiasm by the soldiers at the
Battle Creek reunion. After his speech he
spent an hour shaking hands with crowds
of people.
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, August 22.-The
train bearing General Logan was greeted
by assembled crowds of citizens at every
station through Michigan, the general Oc-
cupying the brief stops by hand shaking
ard remarks of greeting. The principal
gatherings were at Kalamazoo, Lawton,
Decatur, Dowagiac, Niles, Buchanan, and
this point General Logan was every
where received with cheers of emphatic
welcome, especially on the part of veterans
and mothers and widows of soldiers.
The Michigan City delegation met the
train at the first station east of here. Four
thousand people f1ocked to the rear car on
reaching the depot here. An artillery
salute and music by the band greeted the
incoming train. DR.. NJ. 6. Sherman, a
leading citizen, introduced General Logan
as the sOldier-statesman who had never
met with defeat
General Logan spoke Of the reputation
of Michigan City and the just cause on
the part of its citizens for pride in their
homes, the position their place had gained,
the results of their endeavors, and the
diversified industries of their State. In
going about he had seen numerous evi-
dences that Indiana was marching apace
with the advancing civilization Of the
country. He had been passing about in
this and other States for days, and the
sights greetin him everywhere were some
thing to make every American proud OF
the grandest republic ever given to man,
for it stood in advance of all countries in
all that makes people great While sur
veying and appreciating these results, he
desired to impress that the people must
not merely rest in satisfaction with what
they had already accomplished, but must
see that the same energy and industry
shall be applied to maintaining the posi-
tion the country has attained and still
further advancing it..
At the conclusion Of the speech the
multitude gave hearty cheers ;or Logan,
and eagerly jostled against each other in
their efforts to take him by the hand, the
General extending both hands for the pur-
pose. General Logan was attended by
General Lawrence, of Chicago. He was
also accompanied through Michigan to this
point by representatives of Michigan
soldiers organizations, one member of the
State government, and General r. A. Alger,
of Detroit, Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. General Logan reaches Pullman

can say to Mr.. Cleveland with truth that
he could not to-day receive the nomination

They can also say to him that the conven-

admitted by his friends. The single pur-
pose of naming him was expediency
He was selected because he was believed

Buffalo Times Ind. J: 1t is unnecessary to
portray the demoralized condition of the
Democratic party in this city. The fact
that it is torn into factions and embarrass-
ed with internal jealousies is so patent
that comment upon these matters would
simply be repetition of what is very
generally known. The labor element a
powerful factor in an election. and hereto
fore faithful and valuable ally to the par
ty, has been antagonized, unnecessarily,
simply TO please a few who happen to
stand near the throne. The Irish-Ameri-
can vote, upon which the Old-time Democ-
racy relied with proud confidence in Pres
idential campaign, has been crowded back
in the recognition of party leadership, and,
rather than stand in the position OF simply
being tolerated, this strong and sturdy ele-
ment is on the point Of going over to the
enemy, where welcome recognition is al
ready rendered.

White Caps.
Livingston Enterprise. !

A heavy snow storm ragged last night on
all the higher mountain ranges about Liv-
ingston. To the southwark the peaks of
the Yellowstone range were completely
whitened by the newly fallen snow, and
the three mountains that appear to stand
like a wall across the valley above the
canyon looked this morning like gigantic
icebergs The bare, serrated Crazy range
was heavily dressed in its winter covering,
but the divide to the westward escaped The
storm. This morning detached masses of
feecy clouds filled the higher valleys and
hung like ruffles around the snow-clad
peaks The whole scene, illuminated by
the sun, formed such picture as only our
mountain land can afford.
