A Bitter Mookery.

New York Star.
There is one great section Of our
country TO which Senator Miller's re-
cent protection speech will seem y Bit
ter mockery. That is the region des-
tined to become the wheat granaTy Of
the world, the new Northwest. This
country stretches from the Big Woods
of Minnesota to the Missouri river,
and northwest to the spurs OF the
Rocky Mountains. On its level sur
face the shadow of a leaf, sail or fac
tory never falls.
Us whole interest is farming. On
this great prairie sea the Republican
policy of extreme protection has been
tried without a conflicting element.
The railroads have been protected.
Every mile Of railroad in Minnesota
has been paid for by the State, and
| given without a dollars consideration
to. private owners. The wealth and
power of these companies crush out
competitors. The machine manufac-
tories have been protected. The farm
er pays three or four times the market
value of the tools. And in that eli
mate the time of harvesting is so short
that a farmer without expensive ma
chimes starves.
The railroads naturally take most of
a farmers fair profit; the profit of
the machine factories is cut from his
solid flesh.
Everything that finds its way into
the farmers house or barn is protected
to twice its value. Everything that
goes out of his house or barn is unpro-
tected. The American wheat farmer,
since he undersells all other countries
cannot be protected. Protection ma.
bles every n to make money out of
the farmer; but the farmer is forced
to make money out Of nature. And
though nature often swindles the farm
er, no farmer has ever yet been found
shrewd enough to swindle nature.

H COTTON CROP.

A More Cheerful OutIoot and the
Average for October, as Compared
with Previous Years.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 6.-AlthouQh
the month Of September has not been
altogether favorable to the crops. and
there has been loss from shedding,
rust and rot, and in sections from the
caterplllars, the good foundation on
which the crop rested at the close of
August, has stood in the way Of ad.
verse circumstances, and though the
loss from the possible prospects Of Dix
weeks back has been great, vet the
yield promises to be much larger than
last season.
The month closes upon much uncer-
tatnty, and in some sections our cor
respondents refer to the yield as de-
pendent upon favorable picking wealth
or and such as would develop and save
whatever Of the top crop is
promised. In July the fruiting
was excellent nearly all over the belt
WV AuiIAuB was largely lOSG
by shedding, and the top crop is by no
means assured anywhere, though it
may come out better than now sup
posed. Worms have appeared extern
siVely, but the ravage has been pro-
portionately less than usual, owing to
the rank growth of the plant, and in
many localities where they have strip
ped the leaves it has been con-
sidered an advantage. The pre-
mature opening of bolls and the
smallness Of the fruit have
been commented on, but this latter
may be attributed largely to an over
abundance Of frAitagc during the
early season. 1t will be noticed that
the conditions have been more equally
distributed this than last year, and the
increase in crop prospects extends
nearly over the whole belt. The con-
dition is now placed at 87I, against
81 last month, and rs last year. Be
low are the State averages.

PASSING AWAY.

Cardinal M~cCloskey, the DIsting-
uished Catholic Divine, Rapidly
Sinking.
New York, Oct. 6.-The following
bulletin was issued to-day by the clergy
in charge Ellis Eminence the Cardi-
nal has had had fever two days. A
change in his condition, which rem
ders him very weak and apparently in
great danger of death, so much so that
it vas considered prudent to adj
minister to him the last sacrament.
Rev. Thomas G. Preston, chancellor
and vicar general of the diocese,
administered the last rites to his
eminence. In conversation with a
reporter this morning, Father Preston
said the Cardinal was a little brighter
to-day, and while very low and weak,
vas quite cheerful. His condition,
however, leaves us little hope.
His advanced years and the
disease from which he has
been suffering for some time past,
together with the severe cold recently
contracted by him, had a tendency to
hasten his end. He has lived a long
life Of usefulness and his reputation
as an ecclesiastic is worldwide. OF
course, in the event of his death, the
office of cardinal will not be vacant
long, because his grace, Archbishop
Corrigan, is coadjutor bishop with the
right Of succession, and he would be-
come cardinal immediately, without
the necessity of confirmation by the
authorities in Rome. A circular has
been issued by the cathredal officials
to all churches in the diocese, asking
for the prayers Of the faithful for his
eminence. While there is life there
is hope and we can only await Gods
will"
DR.. E. L. Keys, the Cardinals physi-
clan, was seen to-day. He said al
have not seen his eminence this norm
ing, but l cannot hold out any hope of
his rallying. His disease has no name,
being anmere gradual failing Of his
powers from extreme old age than any
thing else. He may lingeS for some
days yet.

A NORTHERN Democratic contem-
porary gives a glowing account of the
prosperous condition of the South, and
shows how largely it is participating
in the revival Of trade and business
generally. 1t directs the attention
of John Sherman to this fact, while
he is depicting the terrible state of
affairs in rebeldom. Our contempt
rary says: Southern cities that have
been in a depressed condition since the
war are responding most hopefully to
the impulse Of the revival in trade.
Savannah reports large business houses
as no longer borro wing to pay Sep
TENDER bills, as is usual at this season,
but as having money in the bank.
Charleston announces that it is "on
the eve of a boom which promises to
be historic" and Mobile reports dry
goods sales as fully 50 per cent. ahead
OF the corresponding week last eason
At Nashville trade Of all kinds is
largely in excess of what it was this
time last year, and the same is true of
st. Louis, while at Chicago, boots,
shoes, manufactured clothing, mil
linery, carpets, groceries and other
leading commodities are in quicker
demand than has been witnessed for a
long while. Throughout the Middle
States and in New England the pros.
pect is not less encouraging. Yet John
Sherman has not opened his eyes to
this gratifying fact. He represents
the element of the country that has
not revived. Happily, however, it
does not control the other element,
which takes hold of the new condi-
tons of prosperity regardless of the
croakings Of this poor old man.

Memphis Appeal.
The New York Chronicle, reviewing
the business situation at the close of
last week, finds every little evidence of
change in the demand for money"
Money is a dug. yet bankers bal
ances can be loaned freely at 1@11
per cent, and occasionally an excep-
tioDal demand will raise the price to
2 or ever 8 per cent" Last Saturday
1.-THE l9th) the clearinghouse reports
were about $83, 1000, 900 larger than at
the same date Of 1884, about $9l,0OO,-
700 larger than in 1882, and about
$l60.000.000 larger than in 1879. Ever
since August, as the Chronicle shows,
"bank loans have been increasing, and
during the same time bank reserves
have declined, last Saturdays returns
showing, compared with August LIST,
an increase of $22.000,0O0 in the
loans and a decrease of over
$l6,O00,000 in the total re-
serve" The difference here ap-
parent, the Chronicle thinks. would be
impossible without "some alteration in
at least the tone Of the money market.
and under any ordinary circumstances
the effect would have been marked;
but the idle capital which lack of con-
idence has accumulated here is so
large and so averse to going out of
sight, that the drains in progress are
very slow in making any impression"
People who own it ''are afraid to let
it get beyond their reach, SO they leave
it in bank, ana the bank officer
puts it out from day to day as
best he can" The course of foreign
Exchange during the week bears closely
upon this congested state of the money
market, and "as a result the prices Of
nearly all our exportable products are
rapidly being pushed above the parity
Of Liverpool, and a consequence COM
mercial bills, though this ought to
be a time Of large shipments, are
very scarce, causing rates Of exchange
to be firm at an advance Of / cent per
pound sterling until yesterday. when
they were marked down ! cent. Wheat
We have long kept above European
markets. Corn, although we have in
prospect a new cropof nearly two thous-
ann million bushels, we let Liverpool
have very sparingly. Provisions, too,
we seem to prefer to keep than to sell.
And, finally, for three weeks we have
taken hold Of cotton, determined that
we will dole it out in driblets until
prices are higher. This latter opera
ton has a wide support, some good
points to aid it, but is unfortunately
started at a moment when a good crop
is just in sight in America and another
good one in Egypt. We do not mean
to say that either the American or
Egyptian yield will reach the full prom
Use of the last half of August i; but we
do mean to say that both of them are
too promising and the times are too
depressed to permit European spinners
to get in much Of a fret about supply
just at present. AS to the rains in the
Southern States, they are, of course,
harmful, but it is very easy to make
too much of them. No on can forget
the picking season of 1880 and the
lesson it taught; there never was a
wetter one, and scarcely ever has there
been a colder one"
