portunity his money bags this year vii!
be filled to bursting. Rarely has an
opportunity more golden laid within his
grasp than is now held forth by the con-
dition of the crops Of Europe. This
was the impression received from con-
versation with William D. Washburn
of Minneapolis who has, during an ex-
tended tour of Europe, collected IN
formation from strictly reliable sources
regarding the condition Of crops. Mr..
Washburn says the prospect is that
there will be surplus of 200, 600, 900

In Belgium the most sanguine esti-
mate Is no more than one-thlrd of q
crop, and the English crop is very late
and therefore uncertain.
All this does rot mean a small dam.
] age, which in fact no one would notice
until after harvest. but an alarming
failure, giving rise to the most serious
appreheuslons.
Europe never raises as much wheat
as it needs, and with fair crops during
the last three years it has used up its
reserves and all that India and Ameri-
ca could supply.
Now it cannot draw upon its reserves,
and consequently this year it would be
short even if its crops we're fair aver
age and ours as good as we have reason
to believe.
Our exporting capacity has greatly
decreased by the increase in population,
and we would not be able to spare for
Europe from four good crop years what
it will be short this year alone.
Under such circumstances it is GER
tain that the true value of wheat is
greater than ever before, and it is as
tonishing that spectators should dare
to bet on low prices.
This, however, explains itself for tho
following reasons:
During the four years, from 1884 to
1887, the speculation on low prices was
successful on account of the worlds
crops being in excess of the demand,
and during the last three years this
same speculation has been carried on
by cheek and did not result in disaster
only because there we're resources to
draw upon.
This success for seven years has made
the spectators think that they have
discovered the philosophers stone and
that betting on low prices can always
be made to earn them money.

among the democratic Dcmosthenes,
Bill Petition and John Martin making
and putting the motions, there being no
discussion. Each candidate had to
come forward and make bow. Aside
from the candidates for treasurer and
register, if the other boys said anything
it was swallowed up in space and the
sound never got beyond two or three
delegates. One candidate seemed to
have a right conception of things and
when making his speech, he ignored the
delegates by turning his back en- them
and delivering his speech to chair
man Bill Petition. 1t was afterward
explained that the candidate thought
Bill was the convention and hence
the error. There we're some dele
gates elected who refused to take
their seats and it is probable that
they will be heard from later. The
spirits Of the third party men who at
tended rose higher and higher as the
convention proceeded and they mani
tested more enthusiasm than did the
democrats. Ernst Hiland, the wheel
horse from Wheatland, was happy and
stirred up more interest than any one
else. The platform made the time hon.
ored reference to Jefferson and Jackson
but Bill Petition quietly and effectual-
ly smothered the plank endorsing Cleve-
land. County affairs were ignored as
well as state matters. Jim kirkpatrick
looked after Judge Whitelaw' judicial
interests ny having committee of three
appointed to confer with the Judge and
select delegates to the judicial conven-
ton. The most conspicuous feature
of the convention was the ignoring of
the country. Jim kirkpatrick of
Dodge was made temporary and Bill
Petition permanent chairman. Then
every Office went to Dodge City. This
result brought forth the observation
from one delegate that "What in thun-
der the Dodge fellows wanted me to
drop my work and come up here for, is
beyond me. They had everything fixed
and l suppose that they wanted US coun-
try delegates to swell the audience, for
that it is about all we did," But we
forgot to give them credit for putting

been exemplified by the treasury de-

there is law prohibiting the importa-

manufacturers and they are allowed to
import all the labor needed without any
