The Latest Scheme for Extracting Money
From Cr~duious Farmers.
A new scheme for the sale of red
wheat has been started in Ohio, and is
likely to be spread all over the country.
SO farmers should be on the lookout
for the swindle. 4 has procured ma
chinery by which he separates the large
from the small grains of wheat. The
agent or swndlcr takes the large wheat
and goes to the farmer and represents
20 him that it is new kind of grain,
and that il is raised by drilling in rows.
and cultivated like corn. The fellow
also represents some firm who make n
new kind of cultivator. just the implc-
ment for cultivating this new kind of
wheat. The agent is very modest in the
price of this grain. He asks only thirty
five dollars per bushel, and in making
sale agrees TO pay his farmer custo-
ner fifteen dollars per bushel for one-half
of his next years crop raised from this
seed. procuring the farmer note
for the seed wheat at thirty-iive dollars
per bushcl, he goes on his way seeking
his next customer. To consummate the
scheme, in few days n partner OF this
man calls on the victim and inquiries of
nun IL no ua' pouShl IilN vi ludt ntN
Kind OF cultivated wheat. His answer
in the Affirmative. Swindlcr No. offers
TO contract for all the farmers next
years crop raised from the seed he has
Just bought, agreeing to pay 80 per
bushel. The farmer first informs him
that the other man had offered to take
onc-half his crop. But after little
urging and by No. 2 offering topay five
dollars on the contract, the farmer
thinking bird in the hand worth two
in tho bush, accepts the last offer and
signs contract agreeing to sell Swim
dler No. all his next years crop of
cultivated wheat mt fifteen dollars per
bushel. Swindler No. 2 is then ready
for the next victim.
These parties are now operating their
scheme in Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Maryland, and will. no doubt, before
spring, be in every wheat-growing State
in the Union. Look out for them. -

How His Foreign Policy saved the Cour
try from Fearful Disaster.


try from Fearful Disaster.
During Washington's administration
the United States achieved political in
dependence, but was nevertheless con-
nccted by n thousand ties of commerce,
law and custom with the Old World.
The fierce revolution in France was in
part set in flame by the example of
America; and when war broke out be-
tween England and France. there was
scarcely a man in America who did not
take sides in his mind with one country
or the other. There was the greatest
possible danger that the United States
would be drawn into the qrarrels of
Europe
In the midst of all these connections.
when the very members of his cabinet
were acting and speaking as il they
were the servants either OF England or
OF France, Washington maintained his
impartiality, and saw TO il that the
United States was kept out of European
disputes. What was the result? He
saved the country from fearful disaster:
for he was like the pilot that conducts
the ship through rapids and past dan
gerous reefs. But he himself suffered
incredible contumely and reviling from
the hot-hcaded partisans who were
ready to plunge the country into the
dispute. 'lf ever nation,n said one
newspaper. ''was debauched bv n man.
the American nation has been debauch-
ed by Washington. II ever n nation
was deceived by II man. the American
nation has been deceived by Washing
ton. Let his conduct, then, be an ex-
ample to mature ages; let it serve to be
warning that no man may he an idol;
let the history of the Federal Govern
mcnt instruct mankind that the mask
of patriotism may be worn To conceal
the foulest designs against the liberties
OF the people. That is the way some
people wrote about Washington when
he was President. Horace h. iScuddor,
