Facts Worth Money" is the heading
of new circular in relation to the
wheat question now being sent out by
the State. of this city. In it the argu-
ments contained in the famous Hold
Your Wheat supplement of six weeks
ago are reviewed, and the farmer
is urged to hold back his crop
as better prices await him in the next
few weeks. The claim is made that
wheat will be Sl.5O soon, and possibly
81, review of the European shortage
being made the basis of this assertion.
Editor George NJ. Muller, in speaking
of this new address to the farmers, last
evening said:
I'VE Still believe that large amount of
grain will be held back, that the rush is
practically over. Our advices from thou
sands of correspondents are all to this effect.
The winter wheat rush is practically over
now. These early sales were by those who
were distressed for money and those who
were not connected with the Alliance.
We do not believe that majority of the
farmers are foolish enough to cooperate
with the SPECTATORS to depress prices further.
There is no question but that prices will
take a turn upward in a few days.
We are sending out another million sup

Our regular issue this week is 10000 copies.

document is followed. Alliance secre-

as wide distribution as possible, while
| newspapers are requested to publish
the same. Continuing, the circular
says:
The Circular.
TIE farmer needs honest advisers who I'M
derstand the situation, because he has too
many of the other kind just now. and it is
high time that he learned to discriminate
among c)unseloTs.
There are in the first line the elevator men
and the millers. the grain Dealers specu-
lators and large commission firms, and those
newspaper men who go to them for their in
formation about the conditions of the mar
ket and lay it as valuable truth before the
public.
Two months ago all Of these advisers pre-
dicted low prices on account of enormous
crops in the United States, and advised the
farmers to sell as soon as they had chance
If at that time these advisers did not tell
the farmer that the condition OF the European
crops were such that during this crop year
wheat must inevitably reach the highest
price ever obtained, they were either very

wanted to benefit themselves by spreading
lies or suppressing truth.
In either case they were unfit counselors.
