THE Chicago Inter Ocean in recen
review of the wheat trade of the United
States show the fallacy of the idea
that the price of American wheat is
regulated in Liverpool. 1t cites the
reports and transactions as tabulated
by the commissioner of agriculture
with the prices obtained during spe-
cific periods and shows that the high
est nrices paid for Amer icanwhe at
correspond with The lowest volume of
importation. The more wheat ex-
ported the lower the price. Conclud-
ing it's presentation Of figures the
Inter Ocean says:
These are figures that hurt the free
traders. They prove that despite of
an increased English demand for
wheat, America Isl con tinually meet
ing less of it; that this country is
finding its home market more and
more ad equate to absorb the products
of its home farms. And the home
market pays the farmer more per
acre for his wheat as $40 80 is more
than s. "a.
The increase of manufactures which
follows in the wake of protection
creates home market for farm pro-
duce which pays the farmer more
than the European market. This
first; then, the European market is
gradually closing to the American
as the:wheat fields of Egypt
and India are opened and he must
find his market on this side the
ocean. That market must be found
1T home to the southwark. The
home market is the surest and the
most profitable,

The Northern Press on Ingalls,

It is very notable that our Northern !
exchanges, at least those of influence
and pronounced ability, have no com 8
mepdation for Senator Ingalls, late
tremendous effort in the Senate on tue
race question.
While they cannot help adm'r'ng
the eloquence of the Senator Jana ne
can be eloquent at times; SO can tne
evil one) they find nothing commend
able in his attempt at argument or Ills
plans and policy.
The truth is, and it is growing more
apparent every day, that these lls'y
I, baraneues like Senator Ingalls, are
growing more distastefnl to the norm,
eru people and that they have ceased
to be Influenced by them as formerly
We give below the following ez-
tract from the New York Herald as
+, indicative of Northern opinion Of the
:, speech:
}. "Try Justice" Mr.. Ingalls, cries out =
I the white South. But the white eo"th
d will reply to him, "Justice was trleu; i,
/ was tried for years, with the United ota1es
# troops to see that it was done and onite9
. States marshalls to superntend it,: Ano
y ;,,s+;ca hroupht us the rascalist mis- gov
r 1 ernment in history. under the manipnila
n t;o w Of onr own party" What can Mr.
1ngalls sry to such reply: Nothing ,ex
cert to repeat his warning that injustice
ID viii breed revenge; that wrongs com
ar hack To the wrong door. That is true
T. and every Southern white should remem
%. her il. But threats are not statesman
shin: a ieremiad is notspractical polltics
From law giver men have right TO es
nact remedies, not denunciation. Vernf
q fireworks may amuse a Washington a!'t
,e- ;cnce stale with late suppers and longlh
ey for some new excitement. But they al
- unworthy of so great anseoocaslon or
momentous a question, and we Will ad
of so thoughtful and able man.
; One thing we note in MI. lnsa!i,
lar sneech and ask our coloreh fellow eli
~ zens to- note it also. The Senator dld n n
commit himself to the Sherman-Cha manu-,
programme. He did not advocate Fed
raj election laws. He did not offer j.
help the poor colored brother out OF
difficulties which he so carefully eSa
~; oerated. He did not sugar over I
'."' words of contempt which he had TOT
nth black race with any coating OF .promls,
hits helm. That is the significant thing IN
late speech. ~
rn;- Such ntterances from the Northe
dies nress are worth more than the !enuc
.ho lions or counter attacks from the Sou
'O -TNatchez Democrat.

An INTERESTING EplsoDn.-As the east
hound train was about to pull out from
Marshall this morning, a good looking
yellow girl, apparently 16 or II years OF
age, escorted by white man, was being
assisted on the car by the latter, when a
negro struck the man on the back OF the
head with piec of iron, knocking him
down. When he recovered he got aboard
and took his seat by the girl. The bio"

the girls name is Ella; that she had beel
