The People for Brown.

The Baltimore Herald has interviewed the
Maryland National Guard, in camp at Camp
Douglas. The militia are from all parts of
the state-Cecil, Frederick, Washington,
Alegany, Prince Georges, Dorchester, Har.
ford, Baltimore and Anne Arundel counties
and Baltimore city, and large preponder-
ance of sentiment in each company is for
Frank Brown for Governor. Out Of total
of 1890 men, 9l2 are for Brown. The Herald
has also polled number of business houses,
and here is the result in few of the many
places polled:
John L. Hurst, of the firm of Hurst, Pur-
nell 4 Co., is one of those who declared for
Mr. Hodges, but his partners, Col. Lloyd l..
jackson and Col. Lyttleton B. Purnell, are
pronounced Brown men. Here is how the
employees stand:
Brown 4S. Hodges 4, Fisher ?, non-com-
initial l.
Henry Keide, of Henry Keidel & Co.,
personal friend of Mr. Hodges, is another
who declared himself. When reporter
visited his store and polled the employees he
found that the sentiment stood thus:
Brown II, Hodges 4, non-committal 5.
I. Ross Diggs, of the firm of Young,
Creighton & Diggs, is the only man in that
house who is Hodges man. He was one
of those who published interviews in behalf
OF tnE eN- mayor. Inc SJOTt sldHuS lllu5s

Witt, Biedler & Co.-Two members of
this firm were interviewed by friends of Mr..
Hodges not long ago, and each declared the
ex- Mayor to be his preference. When a
Herald man poled the employees he found
this result
Brown 9, Hodges g. nome -committal 3.
Daniel Miller, of the firm of Daniel Miller
& Co., has been Hodges man all along,
and when he announced himself in an after.
noon paper it was generally known that the
Hodges sentiment was stronger in that store
than most places. This is how Herald man
found it:
Brown IA, Hodges s, non-committal 6.
S. Kann, Sons Il Co.-Among the so
statesmen employed by this firm the sentiment
for Brown is unanimous.
Robert T. Mcdowell, of johnson, Omohun-
dro & Co., must be the only Hodges man in
that establishment and must have been absent
when Herald man visited the store not long
ago The latter talked with "A men. and out
Of that "a he found the sentiment to be rep
resented thus:
Brown "a, Hodges 0.
George L. Irwin, with Carlin & Fulton,
has likewise appeared in print as Hodges
man. The men in that house, however,
were found by a reporter, who polled them,
to be as follows;
Brown I, Hodges 4, non committal /.
Aubrey Pearre, of the firm of Pearre Bros.
& Co., may be warm Hodges man, but this
is how the Herald man who polled his store
recently discovered the sentiment to be:

Dear Advocate and Readers.-The Fourth
passed off quietly here; no public demonstra-
ton of any kind. Werevere the government
that then was 1776), but since the one that
now is buys its admirers with fabulous and
undeserved pensions and other equally unjust
favors, we say "Let her go, Gallagher,' only
asking that those who can put Brown in the
gubernatorial chair of old Maryland and Cor
man as the big chief of all these U. S.
To steal Il dollar is theft to rob bank,

fgures) of dollars and give it to few pets is
Republicanism, with the latest modern i'm
provements. Call the undersigned liar at
long range whoever wants to, but to prove me
one on the above assertions is far more difi-
cult. Let me tell You, laboring people have
got one eye on the sun to see when dinner
time comes, and the other on the national
government, thanks TO the Farmers Alliance.
If much of our currency is not based on the
fact that the nation is heavily in debt, then |
will confess in advance to having lied, and for
my lying grant any one the right to wear a
six inch shinge to kindling wood, vigorously
applied at a point geographically located
midway between my bump Of self esteem and
heels.
Corn in this locality is a good crop, and
nearly matured despite the Mckinley bill, and
cotton bids fair to make heavy yield, and a
very large acreage was planted. Melons are
ripe and in great abundance. Stock ship
ments to Northern markets are lively and
prices moderate.
Many new milling establishments are being
erected in this part of the country. About
thirty outfits have been sold by one firm in
Cuero this year. | am employed now erect
ing one near my former home, Stockdale.
Verify this country is improving with a rush
Now, young men of old Maryland, let a
friend suggest to you'll you catch the 60
West fever take a large dose of common sense
and buy the cheap lands advertised in the
ADVOCATE, and make yourselves permanent
homes. You pass many advantages there
unnoticed and unimproved by you which
would be iuxuries in much of the West. 10
be more specific, you have purer water, more
and better fruit, vegetables finer favored and
do not rot so quick as here, more and cheaper
building material, better schools and lower
taxes. Much of the West of course has richer
and cheaper lands and more natural grasses,
hence most anyone can own and raise some
stock, laborers get better wages, &C., but the
hen that laid the golden egg died of cholera,
and the egg would not hatch, so her breed
has long since become, like my fortune, ex'
tinct.

While four ffths of the delegates were for
Campbell, the delegates from Cincinnati and
Hamilton county were against him, and de
clined to make the nomination unanimous.
With united party Democratic success would
be assured, but Campbell cannot win unless
the Democrats of Hamilton county give the
ticket hearty support. 1t is hoped the
party may become united, and, with the large
Republican support expected from the farm

LOOKING TO US FOR WHEAT.
The Bread of France and All Europe
Must Come from America.

WASHINGTON July 1S-Walter T. Griffin, United
States commercial agent at Limoges, in report to
the Department of State, says that the National
Millers' Association of France has just issued an
estimate founded on very carefully collected data,
of the probable wheat harvest of France and
Europe for 1891 In order to meet the demand of
France until the harvest is gathered in 1891 it is
necessary to see how much wheat was yielded by
the crops of1S9O and the quantity imported.
The official figures of the yield for 1890, given
by the minister of agriculture, ll9i36s27 hecto-
litres Ia hectoltre is equivalent TO "a bushels or
33S gGl, ,7l6 bushels There is monthly consumption
of 100000 hectolitres requiring for years supply
100000 hectoitre about 100000 hectoitres are
used for seed so that the present average need of
wheat in France per is 123OOO 600 hcctoltres
This year there must be added to this amount s.
100000 hectoilres, which is required for resolving
where the grain had been frozen or injured making
total for this year of 12S 900 900 hectolitres.
The estimated yield of wheat for 1891 will be So,
579OO hectolitres if the weather and all other con-
ditions are favorable. This is the maximum esti-
mate it will be 81 cent less than the harvest of
1890, leaving deficit to be supplied by importation
amounting to 4O,22l 600 hectolitres
The average price paid for wheat under favorable
circumstances is % francs per hectolitre; conse-
quently the sum of 925O0OYOOO francs, ia franc is
equal to 20 cents,l Will be spent during the next
twelve months for wheat
The production of Europe in 1890 and the esti-
mated production of 1891 are as follows: Produc-
ton of Europe IN 1890 22jOOOO9O hectoltres; esti-
mated production in 1891, 111,OOO,OOO hectolitres;
deficit to be supplied by foreign countries, 114oOO,
0O0 Russia. Tunis, Egypt, Roumania and some of
the Danubian provinces will have fair harvest.
In Hungary il will be below the average this year.
Mr.. Griffin says the estimates given by the millers
are optimistic. The desire to create impression
that there is better supply than really exists is all
done with purpose; they want to buy grain as
cheap possible in those fortunate countries that
have of their abundance to export
In 1890 714Ss7S hectares, NEARLY 215 acres,l a.
6s77S7 acres) were sown with wheat, and the aver
age yield 167 hectoitres per hectare; 100000
hectoitres were used for seed, making not quite
eight bushels for bushel. In conclusion Mr..
| Griffin says;
Not only France, but all Europe turns longingly
toward the wheat fields Of the United States. Last
year many hoped that South America would help
supply the deficit, especially the Argentine Republic,
but today no mention is made of those countries all
hope is built upon our harvest The facts, as re-
Gently stated, are that the bread of Europe must
/ come from America"
