Farmers Jubilant.

Since the formation Of our govern
meBt there has been no more auspic-
ious outlook for the agricultural classes
than the year Of 1891 gives.
All crops harvested have resulted
well and those tn be gathered show
signs ofcoming up to the standard OF
this year.
Generally speaking, a bOuntiful year
is followed with low prices, but this
year is a glorious exception. The crops
in Germany were very poor while the
Russians are threatened with famine.
As direct result of this intelligence,
wheat advanced steadily from 50 cents
to Sl.15, the latter price being reached
on Monday, the 18th inst, at Chicago.
"Such a price," said an old war Dem
ocrat, "is far better than 81 during the
war when crops were poor and mer'
chandise high"
Rye is also commanding price that
astonishes. Many farmers sold theiI
crop in this line direct from the thresh
er for 60 cents and were glad to receive
that price. Imagine their surprise il
reading the quotations which have
reached as high as S1.04, fluctuatinl
greatly however.
Ten days ago agents telegraphed mer
chants in Chicago intimating a grea
rise in cereals but it was not given mucl
thought, the enormous crops making
such condition, seemingly, an impossi
biIity.
There is no expectation that tn
lprice of wheat will remain much abov
$1.05.as it has decreased since Monday
Even though it be but 81 the pric
will place many farmers on their fee
after years of hard sailing.
On Monday local markets in Henr
county commanded $1.02; Tuesday, 8
cents and Wednesday,79c.
The high price commanded in Chi
cago was of course partly due to tn
bulls" and "bears," who turned thei
"pits" into pandemoniums in forcin
the price up or down.

The Constitutional Amendment.

Gen. James o. Amos, editor of the
Sidney Democrat, states correctly and
with admirable brevity, the proposed
amendment to the constitution OF
Ohio, to be passed upon by the voters
at the November election. He says:
The constitutional amendment SUBJ
mitted this fall should receive the sup
port of every voter in the state. 1t is
not partisan in its objects, and will re-
suit in equalizing taxation in proper
ton to the benefits derived from the
state. There are many franchises that
now receive large benefits by virtue of
special privileges and pay no taxes.
The amendment will reach all such
and compel them to bear their portion
of the burdens of taxation. When the
present constitution was adopted, there
were very few corporations in the state,
and they were favored by it. Now
they are numerous with special privil-
eges for making money, and pay no
taxes for the privileges they enjoy.
Adopt the amendment and they will
be required to share their burdens with
other species of property.

Five Gents Loss on Wool.

One of the largest wool raisers in
Medina county, J. M. Crawford, says:
II just delivered my clip last week at
27 cents per pound. Last year [ re-
ceived 32 cents for wool from the same
sheep" This, it will be seen, is cents
less per pound than was paid previous
to the. passage of the Mckinley bill,
The promise to the wool raisers was
that the new law with its increased
tariff would increase the price of wool
The promise to the wool manufacture
ers was that the same law would de-
crease the price of wool, which fact
the fleece owners of Ohio have found
to their great loss to be true. 1t is now
in order for the robber tariffites to ex,
plain the double dealing of the McKin-
leyites.

HERE is Democratic talk from a Re-
publican source, the Toledo CONNER
cial, which paper, although in opposi-
ton to its party, is in favor of the free
coinage of silver, and in that respect
stands square upon the Democratic
platform:
"There is nc. reason why both metals
(gold and silver should not continue
freely in circulation as was the case in
France from 1903 to 1870, when that
country maintained equally free coin
age of both though, there were quite
wide differences, at times, in the
market and coinage value of the
metals. There was no disturbance Of
the relative supply of the two metals
during that time and there is no reason
to believe there will be here under the
same conditions.

THE Bucyrus Forum seeks reform in
this way; 1t would be great conven-
ience and relief to society people if
those giving receptions and various
entertainments would specify both the
beginning and closing hour. When
the hour for departure arrives the
young people would be free from the
embarrassment of making "the break"
If the hours were placed as early in
the evening as possible, young men
who have to get out early the next
morning would be greatly benefited,
for they would not have to encroach
upon their sleeping hours. When re-
lieved of such sacrifices they would
enjoy their social opportunities more.

IN trying to explain the low price of
wool under the Mckinley law the Rob-
ber Tariff organs are put to their
stumps. The latest thing out is the
statement of the Cleveland Leader. 1t
says:
"Ohio farmers cheat in packing their
wool for sale. In one lot of 285 pounds
of wool, fair to see on the outside,
about one-sixth was found after pur-
chase to be made up of filthy tags and
handfuls of twine. The eastern wool
buyers have been forced, in sheer
self-defense, to lower the price of Ohio

chances for winning were small,
but the men have labored faithfully, and
a team has been developed which will
