Judge Buckner.
Warrent0n Banner

We have reliable information to the
effect that Judge Buekner will not be
q candidate for reelection to Cen
gress. Having always been faithful
to the best interests of the people
Judge Buckner's declination TO Ion
ger serve them in Congress will be
received with universal regret through
out the district. For the last twelve
years Judge Buckner has represented
this district in Congress, and at the
close of this long term his friends can
point with pride to the splendid rec
ord he has made. Able and fearless
he has been shoulder to shoulder with
the best men the country has sent to
Congress in all these years. Thor
oughly in%corruptible there is not n
blot or blemish to tarnish his public
or private record, and to him the
people he has so honorably represent
ed a justly say, we'll done, good
and faithful servant. Judge Buckner
is still in the prime Of life, vigorous,
fearless and as able as ever to do bat
tie for the right. On the great ques-
ton of corporate encroachment. the
most vital question with the American
people to-day, Judge Buckner is
heart and soul with the people. The
corrupting influences of the giant
corporations of Missouri are being
felt with increasing force with each
recurring year. The Supreme Court,
that tribunal which of all others
should be above suspicion, has not
been able to escape their yenal pow
ers, while other departments of the
State government have proven their
plant tools. In the face of these
facts it stands the people in hand to
place none but the tried and faithful
on guard. If Judge Buckner is to
lay down his congressional labors We
are for rounding off his official life
with the Government of Missouri.
No man III this great State combines
more fully the necessary requisites
for executive than does this plain,
fearless, honest man. At the head OF
the State government he would see
that the rights Of the people were
jealousy guarded and the laws enforc.
cd without fear, favor or hope Of re-
ward. Without wishing to disparage
the claims of any Of the gentlemen
~ho are candidates for Governor, We
cannot but think that Judge Bucknel
is the man for the emergency. There
are others well worthy the confidence
and esteem of the people, but We
should especially hail Judge Buck
ner's nomination rs an earnest of s
brighter future.

The wheat crop will exceed that of
last year by about one hundred million
bushels. Threshing is slow and late,
with results thus far confirming the IN
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1884-11-01

ent rents it has been impossible for
grain to have paid for raising in that
district for the last seven years. Bar
ley was sold the other day by the writer
for SO cents a bushel. He had 40
bushels to the acre, and realized $37.20
per acre. His outlay was Rent, $25;
labor, SO; seed, SO; manure, $50,
and taxes $3.50; total, S77.7O per
acre for which he obtained less than
half. Ten years ago most of the far
mers of the district had fair amount
of capital, which is now nearly ex.
hausted. Average English wheat
brings about s1.O9 per bushel, which
is less than it can be raised for in this
country. A year ago, when the aver.
age was 20 per cent higher, it was said
there was no money to be made with
average crops at that price, and now,
as the reductions in rents have not kept
pace with the falling markets, the
amount of loss per acre is the only
question. If prices are kept at the
present low level, | look for greatly
decreased wheat acreage next year, and
great pressure for reductions in rent.
Sir. J. B. Lawes' annual letter on
the wheat results of his Rothamsted
farm, which are supposed to indicate
the yield per acre in Great Britain,
differs as much from public opinion in
giving a lower average this year as his
last years letter did in pointing to a
higher average. Then it was generally
agreed that the yield was 8 per cent
below the average, but Mr.. Lawes in.
sisted that full average had been
reached now he claims his expert
ments show only 4 per cent over the
average, while ten per cent is claimed.
