Wheat.

There was quite furry in the wheat
market last Monday. The price went up
in Baltimore and all the important trade
centres from 5 to cents hushel. 1t was
occasioned 10y the intelligence that the crop
of France and Germany had partially
failed, and that there would be a shortage
on the average yield in these countries of
10000 600 bushels. THIS, taken in connec-
tion with the reduced surplus on hand i'll
this country, and the unpromising condi
tion OF the yield in some of the States OF
the West aid Northwest, was the cause of
the jump in prices as above stated. 1t is
stated that it will require from $4,000 600
to 100 900, 900 bushels to meet the present
demands in Europe although shipments by
no means show that it is immediate and
urgent. although five vessels were char

The Mask Of a Free Trader.

The Democratic papers are repeating
the charge of free whisky" against the
Republicans, i'll order to cover up their
free trade tracks. They want TO impose
direct taxes upon the people of this eoun-
Try, for the benefit and advantage OF for
eign nations and their labor and products.
They know that if the internal revenue
laws are repealed-the internal revenue
tax wiped out-that would settle the tariff
question in. the interest of American ill.,
dustries and American labor To keep up
the internal lax on the people, Will necessl-
tate either heavy and dangerous surplus
in the treasury, or the reduction OF Gus
tom house levies to such degree as o Sc
riously impair, if not destroy American
manufactures. When you hear Demo
GRAFT charge the Republicans with being in
favor of free whisky" you may put it
down that he is a free trader-that he pre-
fers to tax his own people to taxing for
Ell IN products for the support OF govern
ment. That is the bottom truth of it. It
is one OF the ways recently invented to
hide the purposes of the Democratic party,
They mean essential free trade The Mills
bill is the first step. With that a law and
Cleveland reelected. then the original
purpose of the measure and that declared
in the Presidents message would be
pressed without disguise. To that end
the revenues must be kept up from inter
nal taxes, SO that they may be abateG at the
eugtom house. That is the way free trade
is to be REACHED. Behind the free whis-
ky CHATTER comes the free trade 'gorgon
dire'' and here comes the secret of the real
horror of the Democracy for 'sfree whis.
KY" something they have been clamoring
for ever since the party has been RECON-
structed.

Is it Free Trade p

The Mills bill declares for
Free Trade in lumber, which is pro-
duced to tie amount of $300.000,0OO an
nually;
Free Trade in wool. of which we pro
duce over 5000, 900 900 pounds annually;
Free Trade in salt, of which we produce
nearly 40. 000, 600 bushels annually;
Free trade in flax. hemp, jules and other
lDers;
Free Trade in cement. potash. lime and
brick;
Free Trade in meats, game and poultry:
Free Trade in vegetables. peas and
beans;
Free Trade in stone;
FIR ee Trade in at least 100 other articles
produced in this country. most of which
could be produced in sufficient quantities
for home consumption if properly pro-
tecte,l.
Free Trade means the levying of duties
for revenue only. in such manner as to
help home industries as little as pos
sibIe. The free trade theory is that
home industry cannot be helped through
the levying of duties on imports without
taxing the many for the benefit of the few.
Free trade, therefore, imposes duties as
far as possible, upon articles WHICH are
not products of home industry. and 0mits
Or aboIshes or reduces duties of prOtec-
tive charaete r as far as the necessities of
revenue will permit. The M ills tariff bill
discriminates against home industry: it
prefers duties which do not encourage pro-
lection at home. and cuts down or abol,
isles in preference duties which do en-
courage protection at home"
In the free list of the Mills bill we have
absolute free trade. and to that degree alb
lutte discrimination against the products
of this country in favor of the products of
foreign countries.
1t is stated in the Louisville Cogr;cr.
that Sherman. Mckinley and For.
aker will stump Kentucky. If they do,
the dry bones of Old Bourbonism will get
such shaking up as they have never had
before.
England has just sent through the New
Y ork custom house seventy five thousand
Cleveland campaign buttons for sale to
Democratic voters.

The Republicans throughout the country

see to it that their differences are at least
abated during this contest, and their
