a PROSPECT OF DOLLAR YHEAr.

a PROSPECT OF DOLLAR WHEAT.
There is coed prospect Of once again
hsving dollar wheat to sell On our WESTERN
farms. II has almost become tradition
now, but the time was. up to about is years
ago. when upon Che crest prairie farms Of
the Mississippi Valley . bushsl of wheat
was regarded as thesqaiyaIent Of > good hard
or soft dollar. For the past 10 ysars VS.
have been blessed 80 a rule, with abundant
harvests, but when they. vera gathered and
offered to tbe markets Of the world thsy
barely paid the expense Of production.
This was trus in spite Of the protection Of
our farm products by our beneAesnb tariff
system, which was the only apparent bull
wark between cur agriculturists AMI ruin,
with New York city eating eggs FROM Ger
many, and potatoes from Ireland, and wheat
from the Nile Valley being offered at the
wharves Of cur Eastern metropolis, duty
paid, at 30 low g prics that only the interior
location Of our great -four mills kept it out.
The depressing effect Of low prices Eoc
farm products has been felt in every branch
Of business. Demagogs have undertaken TO
utilize the natural disoontent incident to
such long period Of depression, to break
down the very bridge which has carried the
farmer over. Great crops the world over
and exorbitant railroad fgeights, combined
to make prices of farm products unTsma-
neratiye, in fact Mr. Mills and his party
Of theoriats have audaaiously claimed that
it was the tariff, the very thing that kept
| the farmer from starving
| Mr.. Mills WILL no doubt, claim that the
boom in wheat is caused by his bill. It
would be exactly as relevant as his other
position. The fact is that disastrous har-
vest over nearly the entire woEld, except
Russia and the United States, guarantees 8
demand for all cur surplus foCd products
For the first time in years the market viii
be in the ssllers' favor. In England, France
and Germany the condition is the same. The
| people must look to America for bread.
The result has been sharp advance in
New York and Chicago, and the dollar
mark may be reached shy day. In the
meantime our wheat crop is fair, estimated
st about 100000 busbels, while corn
cats, hay, cotton and tobacco unibs to make
this the biggest sll-round crop yesr the
country has ever known.
There are, therefore, be5teE times ahsad
and every business feels the inspiration ol
the prospect. The only drawback to the
situation is the constant menace Of Con-
grees in session. If they would do justice
to the Union veterans and then adjourn al
once. the business world would breathe new
Life and ell would be bright.

WHO PAID THE DMBTq

Last week we gave an illustration Of how
little the rsbeilious people paid Of the enor-
nous cost of the war, by some figures from
the report of the Internal Revenue Commits
Gioner for 1856. On the one article Of manu-
featured clothing, the tax on which was
per cent, the Government collected $12,-
or, G9717, Of which the people of the rebel
States paid but $84,721.79, willis those Of
the loyal States paid 81, 942, 973.48, or Sal
where the rebels paid 81.
Here is another item of interest. In 1868
Internal Revenue Commissioner collected
the immense sum Of $61 OH, 1925 from
taxes on all incomes over $500 per annuna.
OF this the people Of the rebsllious States

NOT TRuE.

The AtG5GngG Cbrsstiaa Adg9cGte szys:
Gen. PHI Sheridan Ia deed He he's fought his
last bsttIe, but we do not know how tho tide u
victory went. OF one thing We are oertain, viz.
that the good people Of Shenandoah yGilsy win
not soon forget the record he made in 5hat fair
country during the late war he burned their
dwellings, laid waste thcir beautiful valley, and
drove the relentless oharioss Of war over tssir
ruined homes. We trust that he found forgiveness
with God for the outraggs he perpetrEted upon
defenselesg people under the Kuiee Of military
oessity. One by oas they pass away Wills thu sun
Of prosperity esoends 8 6outhern sky and looks
down with JOY upon happy, prosperous country.
This Is absurdly false. It was perhaps
ezcusable, when it was necessary q to fire
the Southern heart" to eiamor about sheri-
dams outrages" but in these cslmer days
we have the right to expect people who
write about the war TO tell the truth. That
truth is that Sheridan did not destroy
dwellings and homes in the Shenandoah.
The orders Grant gave him, and the orders
that be issued to his subordinates, wore TO
simply destroy whatever might be of mill
t4ry value The following were the instruc-
tons to Hunter, which were turned over to
Sheridan when tho latter superseded him.
They outline the policy which was con-
stanEy adhered to:
In pushing up the Shenandoah Valley, as II Ia ex-
peclgd you will nave TO CO. first or last, il il de-
sirgple that nothing should bs left 10 Invite the
enemy 20 rsfurn. Take all provisions, forage and
stock wanted for the use Of your command; such az
cannot be consumed destroy It IL rot desirable that
buildings should be destroyed-they should rather
be protec.ed but the people should be informed
that 90 long az army can subsist among them
occurrences Of these raids must be expected, and
VIC are determined TO stop them AZ all hazards.
The Shenandoah Valley to-day is the best
evidence Of the faIsehood Of the charges Of
wanton burning. From Winchester
to Stanton very few dwellings can be found
which were not built before the war. The
absence of modern buildings is one Of the
things The traveller in the Valley finds nOst
remarkable.
At one place between Harrisonburg and
Dayton, there was some regular house burn.
ing This was in retaliation 70. the bruta
murder Of Lieut.. John R. Beigs, son Of Quar-
ternaster-GeneraI Meigs. For this al tht
dwellings within an area of five miles wer,
ordered to be destroyed. 1t ia amazing tia
our officers were not goaded into more 0
this retaliation. Sheridan wrote Grant from
! Winchester
Since came into tho Valley from Harper
Ferry every train. every small party, and ever
stragZler has been bushwhAcked by people, man.
Of waom have protection papers from command
ers who have been hitherto IN that Valley.
Tue destruction of the crops and mills il
the Valley was as Legitimate and commenda
bic war policy as destroying an enemy pro
vision trains and commissary dspots; anr
nothing in Grant and shsridans careers is
better illustration of the magnificent com
msn sense they applied to the art Of war.

ness? for the danger OF losing her
footing and tumbiing headlong? or
because che realized that those about
her, overlooking the sacrii.e of az
lection, would see in her movements
only the odious deed of a criminal?
She recovered her calmness with
an effort, shook until it burst into a
blaze in the blast the torch that I'M
til now she had hidden, and applied
it to the lighter braces OF the staging.
The resinous wood caught with n
vigorous flame, and, famed by the
| wind, leaped abroad, and climbed
with terrible rapidity up the scaffold-
ing.
Not less swiftly, by the light of the
spreading fire, Catalina recrossed the
dangerous path she had trodden, and
reached her home and her chamber
while her husband was still sleeping.
By this time the massive sleepers of
the bridge of San Martin were crack
ing. A little latter a dull and pro-
longed murmur was heard through
out the city, and from a hundred bel
flies tolled the ominous fire-alarm,
to which lugubrious signal ensued a
crash that called from the Toledanos
the same cry of distress that they
had uttered whenthe bridge succumb-
ed to the vandal attack of Don En-
rique the Bastard.
Juan de Arevalo awoke with a
species of spasm. Catalina was at
his side, apparently sleeping. Juan
clothed himself hurriedly, and, as he
reached the street, his heart leaped
with Joy as he realized that the fire
had obliterated theproofofhis faulty
Judgment.
The archbishop and the Toledanos
attributed the fire to a bolt
from heaven, and the sorrow
they felt for their own loss
was tempered by the sympathy felt
for the architect, whom they deemed
to have seen the results of his labor
destroyedeven in the hour oftriumph;
and the architect himself, who was a
pious soul, of a profound faith in the
protection of heaven, was devout in
the same conviction.
AS for Catalina she assured her
husband that she was entirely OF the
same opinion, and, as women are
rarely guilty of falsehood, surely so
venial a lie may be forgiven to one
who had saved the honor and the life
of her husband.
The con1agration only retarded
for a year the triumph of Juan de
Arevaio, for a twelvemonth later, to
a day, on the fete of San Yldefonso,
the Toledanos crossed the bridge of
San Martin to their beloved Gigarra-
les, and the successful builder of the
structure was the boast of the occa-
sion, and the honored guest at the
banquet spread in joyous celebra-
ton.

Mend Your Own Tinware.

Housekeepers may often find it con
venient to know how to keep their
tinware in order, besides it helps to
economic. For the benefit of such
we will say it is easier and just as
satisfactory to solder such things
yourself as to pay a travelling tinker
two prices for mending them. says an
exchange. Take a sharp knife and
scrape the tin around the leak until
it is bright, so that the solder will
stick, then sprinkle on a little pull
verified rosin, lay your solder on the
hole and with your soldering iron
melt it on. Do not have the iron too
hot or the solder will not adhere to
that. After two or three trials you
can do a job that you will feel proud
of. If you do not own a soldering
iron, procure one by all means: when
hard pressed use a smooth piece of
iron. Anything is better than stop
ping leaking pans with beeswax or
rags. Your pans should be perfectly
dry when you commence work. Try
it, young housekeeper.
