Should Europe, on account of
war, or for any other cause, want an
extra supply of breadstuhs this sea-
son, this will be the country to apply
to. We have the promise of hun
bred million bushels more wheat this
year than last, while the corn crop
will probably amount to as much as
1885, 100000 bushels. ~ Baltimore

The WEEKLY TIMES will make its
bow on Saturday, October Is. 1t
will be twenty column paper. The
editors and proprietors, S. A.
Boothe and James l.. Good, have
both had considerable experience in
the newspaper business in this city,
and are fully qualified to undertake
the publication of the paper they
propose to issue. 1t will be their
aim to devote space to different
class of literature from chat touched
by the weekly papers already pub
lished here. They are sober, indus
trious and enterprising young men,
and there is no doubt but they will
succeed. They have our best wishes.

The saloon is the great menacing
danger of this country. 1t not only
blights individuals and destroys do
nestle happiness, but has more to
do with creating labor disturbances
than any other cause. Abolish the
saloon, and let the wages of labor
now spent at the bar go for legiti-
mate family expenses and the cry of
poverty and want would soon cease,
taxes for maintaining criminals in
idleness and relieving rum-made
paupers of want would grow beauti-
fully less. Thus the question is,
will the old Republican party strike
for the abolition of the saloon and
the consequent settlement of the la
Dor issue, and the matters that refer
directly to saving of men and the
amelioration of the suffering occa-
stoned by rum !? This question has
both moral and an economic
aspect. 1t is upon the moral that
the Prohibitionists chiefly dwell,
and in this they show their appre-
citation of the fact that no party can
mpke Roadway unless it has for it's
object the right settlement of some
question of moral import. Standing
upon the eternal principle that no
one man has right to minister to
the vices of another man to the de-
struction of that man and the detri-
ment Of the whole community, they
have cause which the sober second
thought of the plain people will APP
prove, and round which they will
rally. 1t is in the air. Its defend
ers are everywhere. The press is
full of their doings. The saloon
power has become alarmed. The
people are being walked up by such
agitators as the Women's Christian
Temperance Union furnishes in it's
own membership-Miss Willard,
Mrs. Foster, Mrs. Livermore, Miss
Tobey, and scores of others imbued
through and through with the spirit
of the cause,-and such men as it
can call TO its aid. There can be no
doubt that the cause is marching on.
1t is coming to be the main issue in
politics. 1t is the line upon which
men are going to divide. The old
parties cannot ignore it, if they so
wish. If old leaders do not rise to
the occasion, new ones with fire and
enthusiasm will be found, and the
men who now dominate will have to
stand back.-Greenfeld, Mass, Ga
zette and Courier, (Rep).
