ingrOn. Senator Casey

ingtOn. Senator Casey wears glasses
and has the look Of business man
rather than that of a farmer, and. IN
deed, although the manager ana part
owner of Bonanza farm III North Da-
kota, his work is probably more III the
line Of the man Of affairs than actual
farming. He is very pleasant CONVEX
sationalist and talks entertain
ingly on his work in the SEN
ate as we'll as on his big
farm. His appearance betokenS the
man of peace rather than tighter,
which probably accounts for the fact
that in all the rows over the dlstrIbu-
ton of the offices in North Dakota, he
is seldom quoted as saying anything
against either Congressman Johnson or
his colleague in the senate. HanSbrough.
This does not mean. however, that he
is not a worker, for he is, and the rec
OrdS of appointments i'll his state VIII
show that he gets his share OF the plums.
He will come up for reelection at the
next session of the North Dakota leglS-
lature, but he seems to be taking little
interest in that subject. His atfable
way of meeting men probably explains
his last election and it may bring INN
another when the time comes.
Senator Casey is a student OF passing
events, and is especially Well-pOSted on
the subject of farming, and has great
hopes for that business in the future.
He takes no stock IN the clam that the
time of small farmers and small farms
is coming. and argues that farming as
it is made more and more OF business
will lead towards large farms.
s'Better prices for the products of the
farmer are coming said he, land the farm
er will be in few years the most prosper
Gus man in tine country.
Whether Senator Casey has been
reading the optimistic assays OF Wood
Davis on the future of the farmer is not
known, but he agrees with that writer
in his conclusions. Mr.. Davis, it will
be remembered. claims that the limit of
new lands to be devoted to wheat rails
ing has practically been reached and
that, therefore the tendency of the fut-
ure must be toward higher prices for
wheat. BY this Mr. Davis does not
mean that no more new land will be de-
voted to wheat growing, but that land
now devoted to the crop will be used for
other purposes in about the proportion
that new land is broken up and planted
n wheat.
1.-THE time is not far distant said Senator
Casey, when there will be less wheat raised
than needed for the worlds supply. The
price will go up until it reaches price that
will paw the farmers to turn land back TO that
crop Even at 81 so per bushel, which would
now be regarded as q very high price. great
deal of land will not be used for wheat IN
few years that is now devoted to it,

THF VALLEY OF GOLD.
Presid ent Roach Talks of the Fer
tile Red River.


tile Red River.
Hon. w. n. Roach, president of the
board of trustees of the state university
and Democratic candidate for governor
of North Dakota for the last two cam
paigns, was in the city yesterday en-
route to the East to do some immigra-
ton work among old friends in New
York state. He was not talking politics,
but of the wonderful wheat crop
of the Red River valley. Mr..
Roach is not only keen politician,
but he is also practical farmer and sat
on twIne binder for four weeks, cut
ting his own and his neighbOrs' grain,
during the past harvest, and for the past
two weeks has been hauling hay. Eigh-
teen hundred and ninety-One was a
phenomenal crop year in the Red River
valley, aud he predicts that 1892 Will
equal if not SuIpaSS it, He had wheat
this season running as high as forty
bushels to the acre. Land equally good
can be bought for from SO to $50 an
acre. There was an unusually long
period of rainy weather this
fall which delayed threShing.
The recent snow storm, which was eX-
aggerated by newspaper correspondents
into a bowling blizzard, was nothing
more than a brisk SHOW storm, a fitting
climax to the long rainy spell, but at no
time was the temperature below zero.
The snow has all disappeared except i'll
patches. and within radius of six
miles of his home In the town of Lari-
more, there are dozen threShing ma
chimes now busy turning out an excel
lent grade of wheat, notwithstanding
that much of it has been standing in
shocks He says that nearly every
farmer in his vicinity this year raised
enough to pay for his land at $40 an
acre, besides all expenses of raising the
crop.
The use of smoke SliudgeS, he thinks,
will prevent the only serious menace to
successful wheat culture in the North
west. He tried it himself this year, and
thinks it satisfactorily performs its mis-
sion IN preventing the formation of
dew. If the farmers of the Northwest
were as careful in their operations as
their brothers in the East there would
be no doubt of success every year. The
average man in North Dakota farms on
a plan so wasteful that it would drive
frugal Eastern farmer crazy. The Da-
kota farmer generally wastes enough
every year to pay his family expenses,
everything comes so easy.
Mr.. Roach was accompanied by Mr..
Z. j. Lander, of Grand Forks, and sew
eral other North Dakotans also east
ward-bound ON a missionary trip for the
valley.

CUILoM's BooMLETs.

Senator CULLOM. of Illinois, who lives
ut the home OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN, and
likes to be thought of in connection with
his memory. is initiating a number of
his boomlets,t to have them ready in case
there is a chance for him to get on the
presidential track. Among these are
his car-eoupling bill, which has an OBJ
ject demanding the attention of the hu-
name. and the one-cent postage meas

have very considerable assets for the

cred. The postage reduction is in

form. and is specially urged at present
by certain business houses in the COM

WILL HE DO TIP

Should the president, as recent dis
patches Intimate, exercise the authority
given him in the MCKINLEY act to put
new duties upon the products of couD-
tries that have not made reciprocity
treaties with the United States, direct
issue would probably be made for the
supreme court. That body would have
to settle the question whether congress
could, under the constitution, delegate
such power, affecting the interests of
the whole people. The statement is
that on the first of January the presi-
dent will issue proclamation announc-
ing that he has applied the statutory
power given HIM, and imposed duties
on sugar, molasses, coffee, tea, hides
or such of these as he sees fit. The du-
ties he will impose il he uses bis Oppor
tunity are: On sugar, cents pound;
lower grades, less down to 7-l0 of
cent; mOlasses, cents a gallon; coffee,
8 cents pound; tea, 10 cents pound,
and hides 115 cents a pound. Sugar
would not probably be affected, as the
principal producers, such as the West
Indies and Germany, have made some
oOlG VI COuSCoSlOlS. II COupl0 VI GIl0
less important South American coun-
tries might send their sugar to other
markets. Then, when the president
comes to hides, he will pause
and reflect. The duty on hides
will endanger the votes of the
shoemakers in Massachusetts and the
East to the party. States that must be
had would be lost. A foreign trade in
leather goods amounting to So, 900
would be imperiled, and no consider
able gain in votes would be had among
the hide producers. Secretary RUsK
may think Massachusetts should be
punished for its late voting, but the
president will not do it in this way, if
he is to be the candidate. Nor will he
think it safe to impose duties on tea and
coffee to increase their cost materially
to consumers. He may discriminate
against Uruguay i'll tea and Argentine
in coffee, but they will cut no great
figure. Japan and China are the coun-
tries that supply these articles of COM
mon use. They will not be shut out by
duties of 3 and 10 cents a pound. The
ASIatic producers would never discover
that the shippers pay the duties, but the
consumers in this country would be
quick to find out why their grocery bills
were enlarged. The president may con-
cude not to issue any proclamation.

WOULD EyADE THE ISSUE.

" Not very long since a prominent Re-
publican paper expressed the belief
that there was one more Republican
president in the bloody shirt. The Ma
tional Economist at Washington. the
official organ of the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial union. which ought to
be reliable observer, insists that 1.-THE
old parties have abandoned the tariff as
an issue, and are engaged in a con-
Spiracy TO make the next campaign
hinge solely upon revival of war
prejudices." That is so gross miSap
'pretension in its breadth that it
must be supposed to be an over
sight growing out of the habit of
yoking the old parties together.
The Democrats have about as much
taste for the ensanguined garment as
the bull has for any object of that hue.
But there are indications that the Re-
publieanS want to get away from the
tariff issue. In some quarters they in
sist upon forcing the silver question to
the front. JOIIN SHERMAN thinks he
worked great many votes out of it in
the Ohio campaign, and that it will do
still better al the general result.
CLARKsoNrha given it OUT that the Re-
publican party will make the negro the
issue. He does not make the platform,
of course, but he is at the head of the
national committee, and his position
gives his statement value. It's meaning is
that he would revive the force bill and
stir all the sectional rejudices posi-
BILE. There is no concern for the well
fare of the colored man in the South in
it. He has suffered before that the pol
iticians might have power. But it is
not believed the country is in any mood
for this diversion. 1t is doubtful that
the considerable judgment of the party,
when its judicious manipuIators come
to the Twin Cities to build a platform,
will follow the present GARRISON de-
livery. The breezeS that bring useful
votes are not likely to be in that direc-
ton. The chief significance of the ex-
preston and apparent tendencies is that
the Republicans want to Shun the tariff
Issue. In spite of some intimations by
the president, the current of events is
not indicating the Republican legisla-
ton OH tie tariff. The people have
thrown blacEballS at its supporters at
all the late elections. The Democrats
are unit. and aggressive and defiant
on this issue. They can win with IT,
and are not likely to be enticed by the
enemy into taking ground of his Selec-
