Ladoga Wheat. !.

The frost scare has again caused con-
siderable discussion as to the advisa-
5bilitY Of aband doning in whole or in part
the growing Of red fyfe wheat, in favor
Of some variety which will ripen earlier.
Red fyfe wheat is a variety Of such
generally acknowled dyed excellence that
some will not consent for moment to
the idea Of growing any other wheat
instead Of this variety. Moreover, it
attains to such . state Of perfection in
Manitoba, that it seems q pity to think
OF abandoning it. But what's true Of
this wheat is also true Of other yarie-
ties, for lis an; stablished fact that
other kinds Of wheat reach nearer per-
fection here than elsewhere. This is
particularly true of the variety known
as sladog wheat, which has attained

is as high there as it is here. So you
must take gold for what you sell.
Instead Of buying cheap European
goods with your wheat you must
buy from thesIndustrial States only
which cannot afford to allow you to
buy in Europe. If you cannot sell
there without buying, you will have
all the more to sell, and ut lower
prices to the industrial States "
And so it takes famine to move
our crop.surplus to Europe, and SO
even in famine year we are not al
lowed fair price for our wheat. A
fair price for it this year would be
sl.5o bushel in European goods.
If We can get 81 in gold we will do
well, and of this 81 at least 40 cents
will be taken for the Protected pro-
fits of the Northeast when we buy
our supplies. 1t has been taken
already, in fact, and the best we can
hope to do now in famine year is
to catch up with the overdue inter-
est on our farm mortgages.
We cannot have famine in Eur
ope every year, Mr.. Halstead, but
under Republican legislation the
trade of the Mississippi basin with
Europe is taxed every year by du-
ties against return cargoes. One of
these days the Yves, is going to
break its way to Europe, customs
houses or no custom houses. 1t can
not afford to rely on famine years
to move its crop surplus.-Hon. w.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean sums up
the wheat inspection case in North Da-
kota thus:
Wheat is not grown for the benefit of
either the railroads or the elevators.
Transportation and storage pooled in
against production, and forced the far
mers to take steps for their own protec-
tion. If the railroad and warehouse
interests think that the object can be
defeated let them look at Illinois.
Twenty years ago those same interests
were here arrayed against the farmers,
and they got the worst of it. After a
sharp, bitter and brief fight the farm
ers carried the day. The granger move
ment was grand success in Illinois,
and we see no reason why it should not
be equally so in North Dakota. Tho
first Illinois law was failure, but the
second was perfectly satisfactory. The
grangers are often unreasonable in
their complaint, but it is incontestible
that they do no get their fair share of
the profits of their own industry.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1891-09-17
What is the Question:

The question is, would the Dakota
grades of wheat be respected enough in
the Twin cites and Duluth to Justify
the time, trouble and expense of maxi
ing them? 1t would be a very easy
matter to lower the price of the North
Dakota grade, if there was no way
around it.-Minnewaukan Siftings.
The above is question. There are
great many other questions which
grow out of the elevator controversy,
but none of these are ''the question: y
Whether Dakota grades will be respec-
ted, whether cars will be detained,
whether the law is constitutional,
whether the inspectors are competent,
whether the law can be enforced,
whether attorney general Spencer's
opinions are of any value, and a lot
more, are simply Incidental, and if all
were answered in the negative, the
question would and will still remain,
and an answer be required.
The question is, are the elevators Civ
ing the farmers square deal on grades
and weights? There is only one way
for this question to be answered and
that is by public inspection. The pres
ent trules may be overruled in the court
but if these fail others will be made, for
the people are bound to know whether
they are cheated OF not. The elevator
men, while they may delay, cannot f.
nally prevent the people from knowing
just what they are doing, and they will
learn that i'll spite of their theories, for
there is no such thing for anybody as
''private business" when the public ask
for details.
Don't get away from the question,
brethren of the press; the people ask
the elevators to give them a chance to
check up weights and grades SO that
they may know whether they are get
ting the market value of their wheat.
The people believe they have the right
to know this first, then the remedy, if
any is needed, will come after. just
now we are diagnosing the disease, the
doctor usually visits the patient before
he writes the prescription. If we dis
cover that we have an elevator cancer,
itmay be incurable but We will at least
apply the surgeons knife, if no other
remedy can be had.
Don't lose sight Of the main question
The methods Of getting the answer are
debatable, but that the answer must be
given clearly and distinctly is not de-
batable, tits a necessity. Are we get
ting a square deal on wheat? Pioneer

FAMINE AND FAIR TRADE.

Mr.. Murat Halstead boasts that
our wheat crop is moving out at the
rate of million bushels day.
Where is it going, Mr.. Halstead i?
To Cuba, to Brazil,to Buenos Ayres
or to any of the purely agricultural
countries of South America, with
which by grace of Mr.. Blaine, we
would be allowed free trade?
You hardly need answer, for, as
everyone knows, it is going to Eur
ope. And everyone knows why it
is going there. 1t takes a famine
there to move it over the wall set up
between the West and its European
market by the Mckinley bill.
Take down the report of the Har-
rison Bureau of Statistics on the
commerce and navigation Of the
United States for 1890 and you will
see that our exports Of wheat to
Germany for an entire year are
given as SO bushels valued at $l1.''
These are your figures, when there
is no famine to overcome your "pro-
lection" Of the Mississippi basin
from its European customers.
Money is controlled in Europe by
usurers, as 1T is here. tits as scarce
as it is here. When the workers Of
Europe are not allowed to give their
products for ours in ordinary years,
they go on short rations and we get
little or nothing for our wheat and
corn. In famine years the famine
forces the use Of European money
which would not be SO used other
wise, and our surplus goes out at
better prices, but we could still get
so per cent more in goods for our
wheat if We were allowed free access
to the European market than we can
get now when we are not.allowed to
exchange it, but must take money,
which is high in Europe while goods
are cheap, and which must be spent
-.
here for goods at trust prices.
B The famine moves our wheat SUR
plus, but it does not remove the in
Justice which shnts the Mississippi
basin off from Europe. The Repub-
lican party says 70 the West: on
may sell ii Europe, if yon can. and
at what yon can. That does not
concern us, But you must not buy

JUST A SMALL CLAIM.

Indians Want Ten Million Acres of
Land In North Dakota. &
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 Indians
are developing into great claimants" !"
said an official of the department a few
days ago, land it would seem that it was
right.
John B. Bottineau, attorney for the
Turtle Mountain band of Chippewa In
dians, is now in Washington working
for a claim of those Indians. in which
there is demanded from the government
10, 600, 900 acres of land in North Dako-
ia. The territory claimed by these In
idians is bounded on the north by the
international line, on the east by the
Red River of the North, on the south
by the Cheyenne river to its headwat-
ers; thence in a northeasterly direction
to the Little Knife river, a tributary Of
the Missouri, thence to the boundary
line.
This is an old claim and has been re-
yived at this time because the last con-
gress provided for q commission to ne
gotiate for the removal of the Turtle
Mountain Indians to White Earth with
the other Chippewas.. Bottineal inn

In view of existing conditions we
do not believe farmer will lose
anything in holding his wheat. The
present depressed markets is due
to the fact that large volume of
wheat is being emptied upon the

FRANKFORT, Sept. 14.--It is reported
that Great Britain has seized port on
the Island of Mitylene. The Island of
Mitylene is within twenty-five miles of
Hellesport, has an area of 276 square
miles and a population of 10000. 1t
has good harbors and fertile soil. The
principal towns are Castro Tor Nifty

other hand, though occupying the
much more advantage Of position, be-
ing to all inteEts and purposes the ac-
tual entrance of Hellesport, is only five
miles in length and is of a rugged
rocky nature.
THE STORY CONFIRMED.
PARIS, Sept. 14.-Under ordinary
circumstances little or no credit would
have been placed in this alarming ru-
NOR, but coupled with the story broad
ly circulated on Saturday that Great
Britain. in view of Russia's practical
coercion of Turkey in regard to pas
sage through the Dardenelles of ves-
sells belonging to her volunteer fleet,
intended to occupy the Island of Ten
edas at the entrance to Hellespont or
Dardanelles, more serious attention is
paid to this dispatch from Constanti-
nople. The Island of Mitylene would
form most advantageous position
from which Great Britain could con-
troll the waters of Hellespont.
Russia Concentrating Troops MT
Strategic Points,
LONDON, Sept. ia correspondent
who has been visiting the Russian
southwestern frontier, at Bessarabia,
as far as the Danube says that troops
are rapidly arriving and in large num-
bers. This would be the base of depar-
ture for Russian army advancing to-
ward the Balkans and Constantinople.
At Tutshkoff four regiments were oar
tered, where last year there were only
two. at Kagul three regiments arriv-
about month ago and at Jalpuch re-
Inducements of 5000 men have been
recently received. The troops are pour
ing at the same rate into other villages
These places are of little consequence
outside of their situation, where an
arnlv of invasion would naturally con-
centrate. In view of these facts the
correspondent concludes that Russia
intends at no distant date to make
across the Danube for Constantinople,
and that her preparations show that
this time she means to have a force
sufficient to overcome all obstacles.

ELEVATORS ON TOP.
Elevators Not Required to Store Grain
Unless They So Choose.

The Question of Storage at statuatory
Rates Adjourned to Monday.
GRAND Forks, n. D., Sept.-In the
case of Carr VS.. The National Elevator
Company, Judge Templeton this morn
ing quashed the write ofalternate man
damus, and holds that elevators under
the laws of North Dakota cannot be,
compelled to engage in storage business
unless they so choose, and that the law
under which grain and shorts are in-
spected have no application to the ele--
vators at other than terminal points,
The opinion of the attorney general
thus seems to be repudiated by thec
court and the work of the inspectors:
ended and the Office practically abol-
ished. The court holds that the pro-
visions of chapter 1873, laws of 1890, are
restricted in operation to Grand Forks,
Fargo, Wahpeton and Paramount. This
supports the contention of the elevator
company as to the scope of chapter. 188,
and renders the provisions of the chap
ter requiring daily reports, etc, appli-
cable only to the four terminal points,
named. The plaintiff excepted and.
gave notice of appeal. The court stat.
ed that all cases will be decided at the,
close of argument to hasten action in
the supreme court, to which all cases:
will be taken from the October term.
The mandamus proceedings against the;
Minneapolis & Northern Elevator Co, J,
to compel the storage Of wheat at the
statuatory rate of two cents a bushel,
the elevator demanding two and a half
cents, was continued until next Mon
day az the request of th. plaintiff. The
court, however. intimated that the de-.
cision will be that, in case elevators
choose to do storage business they may,
and they may fix storage rates; but any
discrimination against parties storing.
