The Philadelphia Press thus puts the
reasons for the rise in the price of wheat
and flower: This country last year raised
i5O.0oO, 300 bushels of what in three groups
The Pacific states grew $4,000, 600 the
Spring wheat states of the Northwest,
whose crop is reported so short, about
100. 900 900. and the rest of the country
some BOO, 100000. The Pacific coast weld
is all right. II has been known for some
time that the Winter wheat crop was at
least 10000, 900 bushels short. but AS there
was rs much As this over from last year
it looked as if no great advance could
come if the Spring wheat was up to the
average. If it was, all home demands
would be met and the country could ex-
port about S0,000,00- bushels and still
carry over surplus into the next crop
year.
With loss of 40 per cent. in our Spring
wheat all this changes. This would leave
the total supply about 100000, 900 bushels,
and the country needs for food and seed
800, 000,0 600 bushels. On theory this would
leave s0,000, 900 bushels for export. more
than we are likely to send abroad in a
year whose first quarter has only seen
half as much go out as last year, but the
stock of wheat never is used up as close
"a this. European exports this year a
third AS large as last season, or 40, 000. 900
bushels, would mean wheat great deal
dearer than ii has been in number of
years. Other food crops are fortunately
so large that the level of household sup
plies will not rise as it did in 1881, when
December saw an advance of 20 per cent.

IGNORANT MR.. MILLS.
How The King OF The Free Traders
Blunders in His Facts and Figures
1t is Either Ignorance or Deceit.

Congressman Mills, author of the Free
Trade Mills Bill, spoke in St. Louis a few
nights ago. The Globe Democrat of thai
city deyotes a column to the exposure of his
adsurdities and mistakes. Here are some
of the points
1.-The Democratic party proposes to reduce
the taxes on the clothing of the people il
proposes to reduce the taxes on the food of
the people; it proposes to reduce the taxes
on the implements of labor with
with which they support themselves and
their families. This is the distinctive policy
of the Democratic party, and she takes no
free whiskey in hers r. q. Mills.
Will Mr.. Mills, or any one authorized to
speak for him. name the articles of food,
the implements of labor or the ''clothing of
the people" which are dearer here than in
Free Trade Great Britain? For every one
of these articles named by him or his spokes-
man which if per cent. higher here than
in England, the Globe Democrat will name
four articles which are as cheap here as in
any other part of the world, or cheaper.

Congressman Foran of the Twenty first
Ohio District is Democrat, but he voted
against the Mills bill and the Administra-
ton determined TO punish him for it. 1t
has done it by procuring the nomination
in his place of Mr.. johnson who pro-
claimed himself Free Trader in his let
ter of acceptance and Endorsed the Mills
bill as ''the first step in the direction of
tax reform, which must be taken before
the ultimate objects of real freedom can
be reached If the Clevelandites in Ohio
or elsewhere think such line of action
will help their cause, they are welcome to
their reflections and conclusions.

The Democratic Parrot That Forever

The Democratic Parrot That Forever
screams 'the Tariff Is n Tax"
Mr.. Kemper Bocock, one of the clever
editors of the New York Press has dlscov-
cred good, old fashioned, narrow minded,
Democratic parrot, with which he constructs
some instructive tariff talks. The parrot
| like Poes raven has single utterance. tits
The tariff is tax which it has evidently

make, and caught its refrain from him.
| Here is one of the talks.
The Carpenter and the Parrot.
1.-The tariff is a tax" screamed the Bowery
parrot yesterday.
"A tax" said the carpenter who was mer-
rily working with plane and saw why, how
on earth can that be -
1.-THE tariff is a tax" was the only re-
sponse.
"Now, look ye here, you stupid bird, :" said
the carpenter, take this plane, for example,
and see by a picture in Harper's Weekly
that the tariff taxes me on this, and also on
this saw. 1t amt true, because | happen to
know that the price of jackplanes in free
trade England is Sl5 per dozen, and the price
in the United States is only 5000 per dozen.
And also know that common hand saws are
selling to-day in England at So per dozen and
here at So per dozen. Where does the tax
come in?" And then the carpenter proceeded
with his work
Nothing daunted by this, the parrot
squeaked 1.-The tariff is tax"
The Giazier and the Parrot.
The first thing the Bowery parrot saw
when he opened his eyes the other morning
was glazier putting a square of plate glass
in shop window. OF course the parro,
said
"The tariff is tax"
The glazier looked around and said:
"Why, you green, un-American thing, you
don't know what you are talking about

up to solid enjoyment for three

"Nothing." was the reply.
"Why don't you get rich?" asked
the gentleman.
"Why don't you play the fiddler"
replied the reporter.

road one day when Vanderbilt came
along with General Grant with him

to take the dust all the time. Bonner
was fine looking old fellow. He

"Who has the fastest horse in Spo-

and then touched the beautiful ami

lieved him.
''Do you take any interest in
horses?" asked the gentleman.
No sir" replied the reporter; "at

an interest in horses"
BY the time the sun was down the
conversation drifted from horses TO
variety of subjects. We discussed
religion, politics, war, science, woman
suffrage, temperance, the tariff, in
word almost everything, and when the
gentleman let the reporter out at the
REVIEW Office, although they had not
agreed on a single subject, yet it was
hard to tell on what they had disa-
greed.
