BREAD AND FRUIT.

A recent estimate in London claims a
shortage in the wheat crop of England,
France and Russia of $40, 900, 900 bushels,
while the available surplus in all other
countries is put down at POS, 100000,
leaving an apparent deficit of 165, 900, GOO
bushels.
1t is, however, not improbable that
this estimate is excessive, for the reason
that the harvest in the southern hemiS-
phere cannot be forecast at the present
time, and that no account has been
taken of the hold-Over stock from last
season. But it must be admitted that it
looks now as if there would be close
run on the available supply. and prices
are likely to range at reasonably high
figures.
The farmers in the Northwest are al
ready feeling the advantage of this I'M
proved demand. France, which bought
hardly any breadstuffs last year, is a
free buyer this year, despite its retalia-
tory tariff, Protection has not helped
the French people in this matter. The
season was unfavOrable, and the crops
suffered. An economic system, there
fore, which may be upset by wet or a
dry season, is not to be depended on to
enrich a nation. Protective France,
Italy and Germany are no better of in
this respect than free trade England.
But the British people will feel the
pinch less severely than the continental
nations, because breadStuffS are untaXed
in England, and will therefore be rela-
lively cheaper.
But, although there will be a close
call on wheat, there will be an enOr-
nous surplus of corn, and corn meal is
very good substitute for -four when
the price of the latter becomes excessive.
There is another feature of the food
situation which claims consideration.
Fruit has become an important factor in
the living expenses of the people on
both sides of the Atlantic. Of late
years it is produced i'll immense guam
titles, put up in packages, canned,
dried, widely distributed, and sold at
low figures. The consumption of dried,
canned and preserved fruit has become
enormous, and is steadily increasing
year by year, lesSening the demand for
bread and meats. While its effect on
the general movement of other food sup
plies is not so noticeable now as it will
be. still the factor is an important one.
And as now sold, everybody can afford
to buy it.

rectly, than the original cost price of
the animals. For instance, the horses
shoes are taxed "a per cent, the nails
with which they are fastened are taxed
as per cent, and the hammer with which
they are driven into the hoof pays tax
of Is per cent. The bits and all metal
used about the harness are taxed from
80 to Al per cent, while the harness it
self pays tax of 80 per cent. The lum-
Der wagon is made of is taxed 20 per
cent; the iron or steel of the aXleS is
taxed 62 per cent. The tires on the
wheels are taxed 46 per cent, riv-
eted by nails at rs per cent. The
farmer climbs into his wagon dressed in
his suit of wooden clothes taxed at
20 per ceut, with his feet shod in shoes.
the material of which is taxed at 80
per cent; with protected hat on his
head taxed 90 per cent, his hands
shielded by protected gloves taxed 80

forced to sell his surplus at home at
one-half the price he could get for it
abroad. Protection is great thing for
the millionaire monopolistS who get the
taxes; but the farmer who pays the
endless taxes might worry along with
out it.

WANTS HIM TO WITHDRAW.

The Sank Center Sentinel is Repub-
llcan paper of the bluest dye, yet it
never hesitates to "talk right out in
meetin'." In its last issue it lays down
the broad proposition to the Republican
party that Mr.. MERRIAM must be with
drawn from the ticket, or else the party
is doomed to inevitable defeat. In adj
ditiOn to the exposures that have al
ready been made through the press, the
Sentinel says, 1.-The air is full of pri-
vate information of outrageous tranSac-
tons pertaining to MERRIAM'S nomina-
tion," and accordingly calls upon the
Republican party to purge itself of the
scandal which the nomination has ere
ated. every true Republican should,
for the good of the party" says the SEN
tinel, demand Merchants withdrawal
from the ticket, or properly rebuke him
by voting against him."
This is pretty plain talk from
staunch Republican organ, yet it is not
an isolated instance of the outraged
feeling which prevails among the better
elements of the Republican party. 1t
is asserted that only few days ago the
Republican state central committee
were so disconnected by the news they
were receiving of the dissatisfaction
that had been created throughout the
state on account of the methods by
which Mr.. MERRIAM had secured his
nomination that they were seriously
considering a proposition to with
draw his name from the ticket.
Whether this report be true or not,
it is matter of common notoriety that
the Republican managers are actually
alarmed at the loud mutterings of dis
appreciation which come up from all
parts of the state, and which are as
Stunning open and definite shape in cases
like Mr. ACKERMANN's, who refused to
serve on the committee, and of such
fOrciDly honest expressions as the Sank
Rapids Sentinel INDUCES in. 1t GER
tainly was pressing great deal Oh the
subservient mood of the rank and file
of the Republican party in this state to-
suppose that the methods employed in
securing Mr.. MERRIAM's nomination
would go wholly unrebuked.

FOUR DEAD WOMEN.

1t is possible that the police of great
city were never so completely baffied as
are the London officers in respect to the
Whitechapel homicides. Four women,
one after another, have been done to
death by mysterious assassin, and no
trace of the miScreant can be found.
All that is known concerning the butch
cries is that on successive mornings the
body of the victim has been found with
its sightless eyes turned up to the sky,
and the breast lacerated with a deep
and peculiar wound. One knife, be-
yOnd question, produced all the cuts,
and the stab has in each case been in
4iicted near the left nipple. This may
have been the result of criminal imita-
ton, but the police do not believe it.
They hold that there is but one murderer.
But who he is, SurpaSses conjecture.
Several of the London journals recon-
mend the establishment of a vigilance
committee, on the American plan.
Bat here, too, arises an impeachment.
Our vigilanteS deal only with known
offenders when it is believed the law
would miscarry. But the Whitechapel
assassin is unknown, and if he were
identified and arrested, there is no
doubt that he would pay the penalty
prescribed by the violated law. Under
the circumstances the newspaper rec
concentration seems to be merely the
outgrowth Of a lack Of confidence in
London detective skill. The British de-
tective police have been so long engaged
in hunting out dynamite plots and
saadowing Irish suspects, that they are
apparently incompetent for anything
else,

FALLING INTO LINE.
Massachusetts, Independents Will

campaign.

Massachusetts Independents Will
Support Cleveland and Thur
man.
Boston, Sept. IA canvass recently
made among the Committee of One
Hundred" the original Massachusetts,
Mugwumps who did such good work for
President Cleveland four years ago, dis
closes the fact that nearly all are still
solid for the same candidate this year.
This refuteS the statement that has been
going the rounds to the effect that the
presidents independent friends were
deserving him. Sixty members of the
committee vigorously indorse the
presidents administration, and will
heartily support him this year. Only
five of their number will support Harri-
son. The addresses of the remaining
thirty-five were unknown, so the pref
erences could not be aScertained. Pres
idenJ Cleveland has won over to his side
a prOmint Republican, who has taken
off his coat and is doing good work for
his new party. Henry w. Richards,
the cashier of the Atlas bank. and man
whose wealth is in the neighborhoOd of
a million, has always been a staunch
Republican, but President Cleveland's
manly stand on the tariff and fisheries
questions won his admiration and then
his hearty support. The Democrats are
receiving many similar accesSionS to
their ranks.

invisible approaches. The fatal ranks
of destruction are marshaled by unseen
hands, and the death-dealing blows fall
upon pain-stricken bodies in which the
blood turns to fire, and every vital func-
ton is instinct with agony. The old
feel it. and their frames are wrung with
anguish; the young cry aloud in their
pain, and helpless infancy writhes in
the fiame-like fever with impotent moan
ing and distress. The world, for all of
them, is shut out by shroud whose
clammy fold, hourly contracting, en-
velOp the living and the dead in a
common prison house of pestilential
vapors.

McGILL'S REBUKE.
He Sends Sweet William Warn
ing Message.

Gov. McGill was badly cut up over
the state central committee appoint
ments. The Wabasha selection was a
case in view. The leading and most in
fiuential Republicans of Wabasha
county sent up to Gibbs a strong protest
against the selection of A. j. Greer as a
committeeman. Greer, prior to the
state convention, had fought McGill so
vigorously that he had BACKED the eye
of Adjutant General Seeley. The
McGill men were particularly opposed
to his appointment, and when
they knew that their opposition was
without avail they raised Cain. Gov.
McGill sent personal message TO Mer-
riam. Its contents are not publicly
known, but enough has leaked out to
give truth to the assertion that he
warned Merriam that the course he was
pursuing was not calculated to produce
Republican harmony, and that if con-
tinued it would ALLEVIATE from support of
him respectable wing OF the party.

LIVELY WORK.
A Secret Session of the Repub.
Iican Executive Committee.


The managers in charge of the Re-
publican state headquarters did some
lively hustllng yesterday, and by a
vigorous use of the wires brought in
the members of the executive commit
tee, who in the afternoon held secret
session in the Drake block headquart-
ers. The cause of all this turmoil was
the refusal of j. II. Ackermann, of
Carver, TO serve on the central commit
tee. The committee is not only suffer
ing from CONSERVATION, but rage. A
member of it claims that
Mr.. Ackermann was consulted
before he was appointed and
that he had given Mr.. Gibbs to under
stand that he would accept. He is now
charged with treachery, and maledic-
lions sent whirling down the Minnesota
valley, to fall upon his devoted head.
The st. Paul Germans are highly
tickeled over the refusal. One of the
Scheffer delegates to the state conven-
ton remarks:
Merriam's money could beat us in the state
convention, but it can't make us support him
now. Vote for him? | would cut my right
hand off before / would. | will vote for n
Republican if they will nominate one, but
not for this man.

FLETCHER'S LETTER.
Why Did Barto Change So Sud-
denly to Merriam?

Loren Fletcher has written the fol-
lowing letter to the st. Cloud Journal
Press:
Editor Journal Press.
After the close of the recent Republican
convention in st. Paul Mr.. Barto, of your
county, was very demonstrative about the
lobbies of the hotels TO the effect that he was
very glad OF an opportunity to''down Fetch
er." That seemed to be the burden of his
song and the height of his ambition. Now,
would like to stale few facts as 1 under
stand them. First-I have always been a
friend and supporter of Coy. Barto, believing
him to be an honorable man. Second-I I'M
1erstand that he was elected to come to the
convention to support GOV. McGill for q re-
nomination, having obtained that informa-
ton direct from many reputable citizens of
st. Cloud. That being the case. approached
him and asked him if he would not nominate
GOV. McG1u for a second term. His reply
was that they had considerable of q contest
in their county, and he would prefer not to
take so prominent part in the proceedings
OF the convention, but would prefer that
some one else shonld present his name.
was somewhat disappointed, as had been
informed that he had been elected beyond
question for McGill, and when / saw him
coming from the private room of Mr.. Merri-
ANS headquarters l was little suspicious
that everything was not all right. l asked
the Hon. +. f. Searle if there was any doubt
about how Mr.. BartO Stood and he told me
that there could be no possible doubt as to
his position. / then related to him what
had discovered, and he was very much sur
prlsed when Mr.. Barto arose on the floor to
second the nomination of Mr.. Merriam. 1t
would seem to me that the occasion he took
TO glorify over being able to d own Fletcher
was simply cloak to cover some other pur
pose, as there could certainly be no provo
cation for his making personal attack upon
me in the public manner in which he did.
Very truly yours, L. FLETCHER
Minneapolis, Sept. 8, 1888.
Upon this letter the Sank Rapids Sen
tine', the Republican paper of Benton
county, comments as follows:
Well, now, isn't the above a queer letter
for MIR. Fletcher to write? What do you sup
pose he (B.) went into Merriam's room for?
and what do you imagine man from Aitkin
went into the water closet at the same time
for with one of Merriam bowers? 1t is too
well understood why Barto and many others
went Into those rooms and came out Mer-
Rams supporters? Doodle. friend Fletcher,
is powerful stimulant, and you can't help
but think-in fact, you know-"that's what's
the matter" And yet the cry is, support the
nominee and unite the party. Unite the
party for whatA To fill the pockets of a few
corrupt politicians, and have corrupt mill
ionaires hold the highest offices in The land
i'll order to feed those hungry vultures? Well,
we imagine the unite will not be q very
strong one i'll November.
