'sThe platform of 1884 favored reduction of
the tariff on the necessaries of life, while the
platform of 1883 favors free whisky and tobacco,
rather than reduce the tariff"
"Why was such change madeW
IT believe that the Chicago convention was
controlled by the money kings and monopo-
lists, and its candidates and platform are,
therefore, in the interest of capital and against
labor and the masses of the people. believe
this is a fight between capital and labor, and
when party says give us free whisky and to-
bacco rather than reduce the tax on our jeans,
pants, wool hats, hosiery, sugar, ETC., think 1t

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Produce.


CHICAGO, Sept S.-For a week past the ad-
vices regarding wheat from the other side, and
from the Northwest. have been such as to con-
fuse the trade. When wheat opened nearly lc
higher this morning it was because the crowd
had failed TO cause a serious break in prices
last week, although very much long wheat and
some short wheat was sold for that purpose.
The enthusiastic bulls therefore, jumped for
the wheat this morning. AS early prices were
3<(g11Sc higher, it was day for scalpers and
plungers, while conservative operators, even
though they believed in one dollar wheat stood
and looked on. After reaction of &c from
the opening on realizing sales, the crowd began
bidding for wheat, and became excited as the
price advanced until 95c was touched for De-
cember about II 80 a. m. September sold up
% $3.50, and May to $3.50 at the same hour.
Wheat closed at p. m. at the outside prices
for the session, with December over &c higher
than at the close on Saturday. There was
quiet time and gradually declining prices in
