reason to know that it is far worse,

almost an absolute failure. The

+ In addition to all this are coming
reports of a serious nature from
Kansas and Missouri and other
states as to the prospects of the
wheat in our own country next year
We are certainly very late in ou1
seeding and the result is likely to b.
disastrous.
/ feel like now advising the farmers
to sell very little of their wheat, and
like assuring them that before we
harvest another crop, wheat will
bring $3.50 per bus bel in the CITY OIL
Chicago. 1t is the strangest thing in
the world to me why farmers will sell
any large quantity of wheat now. OF
course if it was not for the foreign
situation, our prices would be much
lower that they are even to-day, as
the prospect OF our own crop for next
year does not justify any fancy prices
now, as there is a possibility OF us
receiving a fair crop. Still under al
conditions we are absolutely sure to
have SIS a bushel for wheat in the
city of Chicago before the spring o.
1892.

Every idle aud unemployed man is
a burden upon the working men. For
while he does nothing to support
himself he must have food to sustain
life, clothing to cover his body, and
shelter and warmth; and the expense
of these things must be borne by
somebody. The wealth producers
namely the working-men, are. the
ones who support this. TIE greater
the number of idlers the larger must
be tho amount deducted from the
earnings of those who toll.

When a national bank is started
five men take 100000 of govern
ment bonds to Washington and de-
posit them upon receiving from the
government 100000 Of national
bank notes in return. Thus the
government pays the bankers $780,
900 OF the 100000 bond debt it
owed them; but strange to say it
still continues to pay them interest
on the whole 100000. This is what
the organs of plutocracy call "the
best banking system the world ever
saw" But any business man who
would pay 100000 on a 100000
note and afterwards continue to
pay interest on the whole 100000
would rightly be considered an
idiot, and no business man would
keep in his employ one moment an
agent who used his money that way.

The PEOPLE are Not Ready.

The last legislature, in one Of
those moments of semi-imbecility
which extended over most of the
session, created capitol commits
sion that has met and recommends the
construction OF new capitol, to
cost anywhere from two to three
million dollars, on the site of the
present capitol. This report is open
to two very serious objections.
First, the present building should
not be destroyed, but ought to be
left for the State Historical Society
as originally intended. Second, the
people of the state are hardly ready
to spend two million dollars for a
new capitol.-Dakota Co. Tribune

The reason that the greenback in
war time became deprecated in value
was not that it was not as good as
gold, or for some reason even better
than gold, but because congress
yielded to the Influence" of a cor
rupt banker lobby and legislated
against Unrestricted it's use to
specific purposes. Congress said in
effect that the greenback was good
enough for debts due from Individual
to individual, but not good enough
for the government to pay to men
who we're rich enough to buy govern
ment bonds. Good enough to pay
to the laborer, the farmer, the soldier,
and the soldiers widow, but not good
enough for the bond holder. Not
good enough for the creditor class.
This is the reason the greenback was
deprecated in war time, and nothing
else. If you doubt it we refer you to
the earlier 1862 issue Of paper money
upon which no restriction was placed

NEWCASTLE, Oct. 3.-Over 1000 per-
sons packed the Tyneside theatre last
night to hear Hon. W. e. Gladstone
speak on political issues. On the ap-
pearance of the great leader and his wife
he received tremendous ovation, the
cheers being repeated again and again
until Chairman Watson made a mute
appeal for silence. Mr.. Gladstone's
speech showed remarkable vigor, and
his voice was as powerful as in the days
OF his prime. 1t was said by all who
heard him to have been the greatest ef-
fort of his life. AT its conclusion the
venerable leader was again overwhelmed
with applause, and mad rush was
made to the front for an opportunity to
grasp his hand He was finally obliged
to make hasty exit.

tinued before Supreme Court Commits

G. e. Parsons. assistant observer at
the Philadelphia signal station, who
produced the records Of his Office at the
request of Lingo's counsel. These rec
ords showed that on Sept. 25. 1890, the
day Mrs. Miller was murdered, the
weather was extremely cool, the tenn
perature ranging about so. Lawyer
Wescott will use them in support of his
argument that the murdered woman
wore the missing astrachan coat when
the crime was committed. The hearing
was adjourned till Wednesday next.
