URGED TO WAIT.
Northwestern Farmers Again Advised to
Hold Their Wheat for Higher Prices.

Northwestern Farmers Again Advised to
Hold Their Wheat for Higher Prices.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 14.-Aniance
men of Minnesota, North Dakota and
South Dakota have been comforting
here for several days on the wheat sit
uation and have issued 600. 600 circular
letters of advice and warning urging
farmers to put their wheat in bins and
wait for the price to go to Sl.5O or s.. A
comparison of notes showed that wheat
was being poured into the elevators of
Duluth and Minneapolis at the rate OF
from 600 to 1000 cars a day, and that
the price at Minneapolis had dropped
in a fortnight from 81 10 9Ol4 cents.
The conclusion was reached that if the
mad rush To realize didn't stop the
price was liable to drop away to 50
cents.
The letter states the new Wheat
Growers association and the alliance
secretaries all over the country
are unanimous that wheat is
bound to sell as high as 81 30, and pos
sibly So per bushel, and they are unan-
imous in this warning to the farmers
not to sacrifice their wheat and give the
spectators all the profit there is in it.
The letter says that the crop is being
greatly overestimated by the newspa-
pers and grain dealers, and continues:
I'VE do not believe a majority of the farm
ers are foolish enough TO cooperate with the
spectators to depress prices further. There
is no question but prices viii take turn up
ward in few days. The shortage in Europe
can now be figured with accuracy. About
week ago a congress Of grain dealers from all
parts of Europe met at Vienna Austria, and
computed figures about the crops in Europe.
These figures are the highest which we'll
informed reputable men could furnish, for
If in a famine year like this they should
give for the crop OF arg one country
lower figures than circumstances justi-
fed, the government OF that country would
certainly demonstrate. tits surely the policy
OF Europeans not TO exaggerate their disaster
1t is entirely certain that Europeans will have
to economic IN bread to the extent of 67S,000-
coo bushels, and when the situation is aggra.
waited by the partial failure of the potato
crop, it is to be considered what
prices they would pay for American wheat.
The shortage in Europe being four times as
large as the American surplus, there is no
doubt that the price of wheat will reach the
highest figure ever known before this year is
up and will exceed it by far before the new
crops come in.
Wheat will soon be over $3.50, no matter
how much farmers and spectators work to-
gether to keep prices down, and we would adj
wise those who can comprehend the situation
TO hold their wheat for S150 and add for every
month they keep it say five cents TO the price
Hold your wheat You cannot get left

EXPERIMENTING WITH DRUNK
ARDS.

Massachusetts is experimenting a
little with her drunkards-that is,
trying a new plan of punishment for
them, plan which involves rea son-
able degree Of leniency, towards one
class of drinkers and increased
severity towards another class.
The new law discriminates be-
tween the man who gets drunk occa-
sionally and the man who is habitual-
" intoxicated For the former-the
man who is known to the police as a
fairly good CITIZEN" and who once in
a while takes a little too much y
the law provides release after he be-
comes sober, on making written
statement that he has not been ar
rested twice within a year, or that,
having been so arrested, he has been
acquitted in one case. This state
ment must be endorsed by the officer
arresting him; and if it turns out
that he has been lying about the
matter, he is re-arrested and duly
disciplined. For the second class of
drunkards-th fellows who are al
ways drunk, or ''habitually" so, the
new law provides imprisonment, do
ing away with fines altogether.
1t is claimed by the friends of this
LEGAL experiment that. when the
public gets educated up to the proper
point ofappreciation, it will work well
and bring about a better state OF
things by discriminating between
different classes and providing for
the treatment of the drunkard as
an individual. The workings Of the
new law will be watched with in
terest, and possibly the Vermont
legislature of 1892 may catch a
point therefrom.
