THE WHEAT MARKET.

Why wheat does not advance in price
both in the home and foreign markets is
one of the secret mysteries OF the grain
trade. While estimates and reports diff
fer widely az to the extent of the short
age of wheat and rye abroad, yet they
agree that it is more than sufficient to
absorb all our surplus, and yet the price
is no higher than-not so high in fact, as
it was year ago when no such stimulat-
ing conditions existed. Various causes
are assigned for this unsatisfactory state
of the market, but none of them are con-
vincing. The one which carries most
weight is the undeniable fact that the
northwest has superior crop both IN
quantity and quality-but the surplus
over previous years is not at all compar-
able with the deficiency in the world at
large. Furthermore, our crop, while it
is good, has been over-estimated, due to
the exaggerated reports set afloat by the
very persons most interested in securing
the best possible price. Every extraor-
binary yield has been given out cold for
street use and the newspapers, while
nothing is said of the light returns. The
impression is abroad that every acre is
good for twenty or thirty bushels of fine
wheat; if it reach one half this maximum
on the grand average it is a great crop,
indeed.
:. Another depressing influence is the rush
now being made to force grain upon the
market. The railroads are handling
double the amount of wheat in the north
west usual so early in the season. This
state Of affairs strengthens the impress
sion of an enormous local surplus. IL the
farmer could and would hold his wheat
to sell only as it is demanded, or as his
own requirements dictated it would be
to his permanent advantage in more
phases than one. Instead of Cutting the
market, clogging the elevators and rail-
roads, and possibly creating a stringency
in the money market, all these evils and
dangers would he averted. Grain grow
ers would have money as they needed it,
not dangerous surplus for a short pc
Rod and a distressing deficiency most of
the year Debt would be less burdensome
for it would be distributed throughout
the twelve-month, and instead of it all
being payable in lump i'll the fall, cred
its would adjust themselves more con re-
niertly and satisfactorily for both debtor
and creditor.

Hon. KNUTE NELSON'S friends are very
much in earnest in urging him for the
goyernship of Minnesota in 1S92-and
for good and sufficient reasons. In the
first place he is thoroughly qualified both
as to ability and experience in public af-
fairs. He is honest and earnest. He is
not an ideal politician-and that don't
hurt him any npublic esteem. He is in
touch with the masses-one of them in
sympathy, and education, and has shown
his devotion to their interests while a
representative in congress- The fact
that he il ofNorwegian descent, ,or that
he Isl resident of Alexandria rather than
OF st. Paul orr Minneapolis. is wholly
unworthy of serious consideration. He
is an American citizen and loyal Min
nesotian-and his nationality and place
of residence neither adds to nor detracts
from his fitness and availability.

This will require tax of eleven mills
eleven dollars upon every thousand dol
lars on the assessment rolls. The amount
raised is the same as last year, the only
difference being a reduction in the water
works maintenance fund of 5000, and
for general fund and interest on railroad
bonds the amounts arc increased 500
each, making the total amount to be
raised the same as last year.
1t is estimated that there will be a
efficiency in the general fund for the cur
rent year of about $500. Last year the
deficiency was about 81 200.
A tax of one mill was levied by the
council for the city library as provided

STEARNS COUNTY.

1t appears not little strange to the
average taxpayer OF Stearns County
that it should require $4,000 to pay
the running expenses, and that too,
when there is not dollar of indebted
ness, and consequently no interest charge.
There is certaialy something either in the
condition of affairs inseparable from the
area of the county, or else RECKLESS ex-
travagance which compels So much iars-
81 per capita and per centum tax to
gay current expenses than is demanded
ssv neighboripg counties. The HERALD
is Of the opinion that there is an admix-
ture OF both, bat tie former is the more
potent factor. 1t costs saore in proper
ton, with results far less satisfactory to
operate large than a small county.
The expenses for all classes of public
services is much greater, and in the mat
ter of county supervision by the commits
sioners it is altogether iet, imental to
good service. The commissioners have
more territory than they eanPosaIly give
such personal attention as Is demanded.
The only remedy 10 division and the
sooner it is accomplished the better for

IT IS astonishing how firm hold the
idea has of many intelligent persons
that the government has it within les
power tc legislate universal wealth by
setting afloat an unlimited amount of
so-called money of no particular intrin.
sic value, making it legal tender. That
is the phrase that is SO deceptive-'legal-
tender" They are thoroughly misin-
formed as to fact, but persist in their ad-
herence to their transformation as the
only true state of affairs. They bor-
rowed money. perhaps. gold of full i'll
struve value, and demand the right to
pay in deprecated silver coin, paper
ANYTHING but full value. They have been
told that gold has no more value than
anything else, that it is only because it
is coined and made legal tender by law
that it is accepted as money. No
standard is recognized except such as is
made SO by legal enactment. This is a
mere statement of the case, the fallacv
being evident to the most casual oh
server,
