The Worlds Harvest Prospects.

While Benjamin f. Butler and
James G. Blaine are promising to
legislalc, if permitted to do SO, SO as
to make labor and products more re-
munerative to both the laborer and
the capitalist, Providence is evidently
working in an opposite direction. The
world over there is promise of such a
bountiful harvest that agricultural
products, on which all others are de-
pendent for their value, promise to
be never so abundant and so cheap.
Now, then, the question is, can these
statesmen with their promises of high
prices override those natural laws
that in all times and nations have de-
termined that under certain conditions
prices are certain to be low?
Everywhere in the wheat-producing
countries there will be a surplus of
the leading cereal-wheat. In this
country the surplus of the product
will be enormous-far in excess of
anything in previous years-if the
best statisticians are to be relied on.
The crop of 1884 is put at SIG, 900, 900
bushels by Mr.. Talmage, Of Milwau-
kee, which would exceed that of 1882
by 100000, and that of 1883 by
$4,000, 900, and the average crop of
the last five years by 6O,000,00O BUSH
els.
In England the area under wheat
is said to be as much as 3,250,000
acres, compared with only 2,713,000
last year. This, at twenty-eight
bushels to the acre, would give a crop
of 100000 quarters, leaving H.
100000 quarters, or SS,000,000 bush
els, available for consumption, which
for the united kingdom is annually
25,000,000 quarters, or 100000, 900
bushels. The import needs of the
united kingdom will consequently be
120,000,000 bushels. To supply this
Great Britain has Russia, with large
crop and heavy stocks of last years I;
Australia, with 100000 bushels I;
New Zealand, India, the Argentine
Republic, Canada, and the United
States, all with variable yields at
the same time Frances crop is so
large that very small import will be
required.
In England the Economist and the
British Trade Journal believe prices
will fall as low as 30 or 38 shillings,
ga figure which," the latter journal
says, "cannot certainly paw the
American agriculturist, and which
means simple ruin to the British
farmer"
Now, here is chance for our
statesmen, who are so profuse in their
promises of good times and high
prices, to buck against the natural
laws of trade. But who believes that
they can succeed in their quixotic
crusade any more than did Canute
when he ordered the tide to cease
flowing Chicago News.

State Prohibition Convention.

The State Convention of the Prohi-
bitionists, was held at Detroit, on
August 9th, 1884, and proved very
enthusiastic one. The number of
delegates present was 3S7. VIM. G..

thirteenth ocotor not nominated, and the name
will be supplied by the State committee.
The Convention declared in favor of
nominating full set of officers, for

The Germans in Illinois.

Since 1876, the Germans of this
State have voted pretty steadily the
Republican ticket. In 1876, more
Germans voted with the Democrats
than ever before or since. There is
hardly Democratic leader who does
not believe that more will vote the
Democratic ticket now than voted
it in 1876. In that year Mr.. Hayes
plurality was 1861, and, while the
Republicans cast 5021 per cent. of
the total vote, the Democrats cast
1867 per cent. In 1880, Garfeld's
plurality was 40,716, and the Repub-
lican percentage increased to 81. 10,
while the Democratic percentage fell
to 44.56. 1t is estimated that the
total vote of Illinois this year will be
$50, 900, and that Of this the Germans
number 100000. Estimating that 7S
per cent. of this vote will be cast, the
Germans will poll $4,000 votes, Of
which, ordinarily, so per cent. would
be Republican. Seventy-five thou
sand Republican votes are a good
many to be in danger, and yet there
is to-day so much dissatisfaction among
the Germans with the Republican
party, that the drift may be said to
be toward the Democratic party

New York, Aug. ga delegation
Of workingmen called ON the national
Democratic committee this morning.
1t was composed of J. A. Thompson,
President of the Car Drivers Union !;
j. j. Cavanagh, President of the En-
giners' Union; b. M. Abel, Presi-
dent of the Brassworkers' Union, and
A. A. Carsney, President, and r. o.
Terrier, Secretary, of the Indepen-
dent labor party. They presented
the following answer to statements
made in Gen. Buffers letter of ac-
ceptance:
We desire to correct the statement
made by Gen. Butler that the Demo-
cratic convention at Chicago refused
to insert in its platform a single de-
mand of labor. The committee on
resolutions granted a hearing to three
committees of workingmen-one from
the national labor party, another
from the federated trades unions and
third committee of New York work.
ingmen, and inserted in the platform
every measure demanded by these
bona fide representative of labor.
We also wish to correct the misstate-
ment that Gov. Cleveland has failed
to carry out the pledge made in the
platform of 1882. The opposite is
case. Every measure demanded by
the workingmen has been granted,
despite the active and earnest oppo-
sition of the Republican legislature,
and by his efforts moro has been grant
ed to the workingmen in the way of
practical legislation than has been
done by all the labor unions or po-
litical parties from the declaration of
independence to this day. Every
measure asked for by the anti-monop.
ly league and the labor party of this
State las inserted in the Democratic
platform of 1882 has been granted,
and Grover Cleveland and the Dem
ocratic party of this State can hon.
estly claim the merit of inauguratinp
all the measures that have been taken
up by other State legislatures and
passed to the great benefit Of the
working classes, and incorporated in

Blaine, in his letter of acceptance,
had a good deal to say about the pros
perity Of the country, and claimed it
was on account Of the benefits deriv-
ed from the protective tariff, but the
accounts that have been recently pub
lished concerning the great strike of
coal miners in Hooking Valley, Ohio,
inclines us TO the belief that prosperi-
ty did not reach that part Of the un.
ion, and yet bituminous coal is pro-
tected by protective tax Of rs cents

for the great cutlery made over the
vetoes of the FIVE cent fare bill, the
mechanics lien bill, and the car
drivers bill, it is sufficient to say that
not one of those bills was prepared
or presented to the legislature by q
workingman, or by labor organiza-
ton, but all were measures by and
in the interest of middlemen and
spectators, and for the benefit of the
wealthy, and were not asked by the
working classes.

Those farmers who like to pay a
forty per cent. tariff tax on the goods
they buy in order to benefit manufac-
turing monopolies, and receive no
benefit in return, should vote the Re-
publican ticket, as the Republican
party favors placing heavy taxes on
the people in order that monopolies
may flourish and millionaires increase
their wealth. Such a system of rob-
berry is called protective tariff.
