Perhaps the most ridiculous campaign
lie Of the past campaign was tho aSs.r-
tion that the low prize of wheat was due
10 the Democratic administration. An
either Democratic or
Republican. controls the price of wheat
in this country, In about the same ratio
as Wiggins does earthquakes lie fooled
the negroes Of the Son'h with the threat
OF an earthquake; and perhaps the Re-
publican organ Of this county scared tho
farmers with the threat Of Democratic
administration in the same way.
This country can produce wheat
enough to feed 500 100000 persons
whereas We have only 55.oD0,OoO We
produce more wheat than Is
required By the home demand. and We
have TO look 20 foreign market for our
surplus.
Liverpool in the greatest grain market
OF the world. All grain dealers buy
with view TO the ruling price at Liver
pool. This is the keynote to the price.
There cant be two prices. one for the
home market and another for the for
eign market. The farmer who wants
more than the Liverpool price cant sell
at all. A. long ~ our farmers produco
more wheat than the home market de.
|msrds, that long they must accept Liv-
|erpool prices. The only way 10 let the
home market rule the price OF wheat
is produce less than We do. so that we
will have none to export, or to make :
law compelling the man who buys for
tie hoMe market to pay more than
when be buys for the foreign
market. A law OF that char.
Iacter would place tho farmer on an
leQuality with the manufacturers. Under
1.-THE protection Of the tariff the msnufac-
Iturer sells to home consumers a. an sv-
lerage advance Of 43 per cent; and his
surplus he sells in foreign markets 1t
tree trade prices- II would be fair. IL
farmers we're protected in the same way.

Clinton Crane, member Of the lumber
firm Of Crane & Co, OF CincinnRti, some
time since purchased Al, 1000 logo from W.
w. Thomas, OF Putnam county, and paid
him $4,000 surety on the bargain. Re-
Gently Crane received word that the logs
were ready at Eighteen.mile Creek, and
went for them with the steamers Grown
Hill and Elaine. On arrival there he
found the RATS in charge OF an Infatuated
lot OF timber men, who swore that Thomas
owed them for cutting the timber, and
that the logs should not be removed until
they were paid. Crane was obliged 10
beat retreat, and he ut once appealed to
the United States authorities, who re-
quired him to give bond in the Bum Of
$4,000 before he could take the lumber
away.
Crane proceeded to Cincinnati and re.
turned at once with twelve 81. 600 bonds,
which he deposited in the Second Ma.
tional Bank, and gave the required bond.
Deputy Marshal Mehen was then sent by
the court to give Crane possession Of the
timber. The Marshal took charge OF the
raft, and notified the men to leave. They
had built a small shanLy on one Of the
logs, and prepared to stay there ,indeG.
nitely. Mehen searched the shRnty,
found seven pistols, two shot guns, two
rifles and several muskets, which he re-
turned to the men. He was allowed 10
take possession ~peaceably thereafter, and
the lumber Is now on Its way 10 OlnCin-

A BAD CAVE IN.
a Wall on the National Road md Elm Grove
Track Gives way. '

Track Gives wny.
About four o'clock yesterday afternoon
tho stone wall on the National pike al
Greenwood Cemetery gave way aud fell
with q crash, carrying much earth with 1t,
undermining tho tracks Of tho Elm Grove
railroad for some considerable distance.
The wall has been regarded dangerous by
the Elm Grove officials for some time, and
caution has always been taken in passing
this point, AS the motor which left the
city at 8 o'clock passed the point the engi-
neer detected q letting down, and rs the
motor was moving slow he opened the
throttle and passed in safety.
Not feeling satisfied to carry passengers
over Oh his return trip he run the motor
without cars to the spot and only got TO
the stone wall when the whole mass gave
way. A stable belonging to the Green.
wood Cemetery was recently moved back
for safety, and that no doubt aided in the
falling, as it had been a sort Of prop to the
wall. I'D
Superintendent Hirsh had q force OF
men at work moving the tracks OF the Elm
Grove road. Trains will not bs delayed.
The wall on the opposite side OF tho pike
Is In a dangerous condition, and the cul.
vert has large cracks all through 1t, which
will probably n~ecessitste Superintendent
Hervey's rebuilding the entire Culvert
walls.

Hautc AIIlI ntthe CluCinunti Scale,

The report that the Bsnwood nail works
Is about to sign the AmalgRmated Asso.
citation scale "bobs up serenely' as often
as II is denied, It was stated yesterday,
on what seemed to bs the best authority,
that President Weihe, who is still in the
city, had offered the company a compro-
mise on the price Of heating, and that he
and several nailers Of this city had held q
conference with the officers Of the COM
pany, Inquiry developed the fact that
this report wa untrue, but it is safe to say
that II is not without foundation, The
gentlemen at the Bsnwood office say that
MIR, Weihe has not proposed acompro-
mise, and that they have not een him
since no came to Wheeling this time,
When he was here before a conference
was held, and the fact was pointed ont 10
him that the mills now in operation here
are having rolling and heating done at the
manufacturers scale, and Il the Benwood
were to aign the Amalgamatsd scale heat
ing would cost them 0S cents per ton as
against 81 cents paid by factories running
on the manufacturers scale; IS cents for
rolling as against At paid by the other
factories. He was asked II he thought a
mill could compete under these CirGuln-
stances with the mills in its immediate
vicinity, and he made no answer,
A gentleman Interested Ia the Benwood
mill said yesterday that ii the discrepancy
in the price Tor heating was out OF the
way, there is not enough difference In the
wages for cutting nails between the man
~uiaGturers' and Amalgamatiou's scales 10
make 1t o confederation.
The only inference to be drawn from
this remark j. that liza compromise were
proposed which cut heating down to some-
Thing like what other Wheeling mills are
paying, the scale would DO accepted,
The Indications are that President
Weihe is empowered to offer some such
terms rs those referred to above. Hespent
most et yesterday at N!nEVille adjusting
the difference bstwGGn the workmen at
the Standard mill. II Is believed that he
will call on the Benwood o%iTiCials to-day.
Manufacturers claim that with the old
furnaces for heating on which 70 cents a
ton wSs paid, a man could only turn out
eight tons per day, and that with the
Smith gus furnace, such as tho Bsnwood
mill uses, a heater can turn out sixteen
Ions a day, An extra helper is employed
at these furnaces and paid by the COM
pany. From these figures it will be seen
that formerly at ~ cents o ton a heater
could make S. co a day, and now with the
Smith furnace, at GS Centa u ton, he would
make $40 OS. Out OF this sum by either
arrangement he pays a helper. Workmen
deny the truth OF these figures, but those
inquired OF were not prepared to say what
amount Of iron could DO heated in u day
on aSmith furnace.
