more wheat has been shipped to Europe
the past six months than in any former
equal period, but the market has obsti-
nately refused to respond to the expec-
tatiOns Of those interested. The faith
that the needs abroad will effect
more in that direction in the early
future has become greatly weakened.
The'present diagnosis of the situation is
that the deficiency abroad has been
Overestimated, or that the destitute
have been unable to buy wheat and have
had to rub along on inferior substitutes.
The surplus of this country was large
beyond precedent, and the indications
are far less hopeful than they were
that an approach to exhaustion
will be had before the next crop begins
to come III. The inquiry then becomes
OF interest as to the promise for next
year. Should there be repetition of
tine UNUSUAL yield of 1891 in 1892, can it
be supposed that the deficiencies over
the water will approach those of
the past year? Still, the reserves Will be
absorbed, and large demand may be
presumed, even if the wheat regions in
Europe promise near their normal prod
uct. That this will be sufficient, in
view of the large surplus in this coun-
try, to maintain the present prices, it
would be unsafe to assert. But lower
prices will stimulate consumption, and
the farmers may reasonably look for
fair rewards for their labor the present
year.

THE BUCHANAN CONVENTION
How the New York Delegation
Voted at Cincinnati.

To the Editor of the Globe.
New York Democrats sent a double
delegation to the Cincinnati convention
in 1856. and the trend In the Empire
state now seems to be a repetition of
the dual act at the coming convention in
Chicago. At Cincinnati a compromise
was effected, admitting to seats half
of each of the conteSting delegations,
the state at that time being entitled to
twenty-five votes. As it was not con-
preserve the equilibrium of the
two factions, 1t was agreed that
the chairman should declare alter
nately the thirteenth or odd vote for the
respective candidates of the two wings
Jof the party. When the voting for a
candidate for president proceeded, and
New York was called, the first vote was
announced, ''12 votes for Franklin
Pierce, Is votes for James Buchanan
followed on the next call with ''13 votes
for Franklin Pierce, II votes for James
Buchanan" and so on to the end of the
chapter. 1t is but repeating history to
state that Buchanan was nominated and
elected, Notwithstanding divided dele

1t was a narrow escape, it is true. At
that time all the states did not vote the
same day for presidential electors, and
the final result depended upon the vote
of Pennsylvania. Gen. Butler, who was
a delegate in the convention at Cincin-
natl, and with the other New England
delegates in favor of the denomination
of President Pierce, in his "book"
speaks of the election in 1856 as follows:

MORE RICH MEN.

Great estates often are found after
the decease of the possessor to have
been enormously magnified. A man re-
puted to be very rich proves to have
deluded the eye with shell. Such
cases create the impression that the
wealth of individuals is usually over
rated. This is not the fault of the in
dividual necessarily. 1t is a natural
tendency. But there are instances and
not very rare ones, where the develop
ments i'll the will or probate court sur
prise those who had lived about the de-
funct individual. There was such an
one in New York week or two
ago. JOHN r. TREVOR died. He
had been quiet, undemonstra-
tive business man. understood to be
in comfortable circumstances. He
did not have the environments of the
millionaire. No cranks came to him
with dynamite persuaders to divide his
possessions. he required no bodyguard
to protect him from marauders as peri
patetic bundle of treasures. But when
he passed away and the estate was ap-
praised it exceeded $40, 100000. Yet MIR.
TREVOR was comparatively ObScu re.
He was never pushed into politics as a
man with barrel. If he had marriage
able daughters, they did not have their
claims illumed by the dazzle of gold.
He lived simply, as many millionaires
do, without advertising their fortune.
When he died he left a million and a
half to charitable purposes and the
other millions to related persons.
Then for the first time did the
neighbors learn of his real possessions.
There was no particular indication of
surprise at his wealth. bnt rather that it
had not been suspected. Men with five
or ten millions are too common to draw
marked attention, and, if they prefer to
be rated among the poor men who have
but half-miltiOn OF SO. il is ordinarily
not difficult to do SO. AS the facts come
out at times the mind is impressed with
the wonderful concentration of wealth
in this country in the last quarter of a
century. History shows the tendency of
such condition. Wealth gives power,
and the few control at the expense of
the many. The policies of the govern
ment since the war have fostered this
unequal division of the wealth of the

A WASTEFUL EXPENSE.

At the last congress commission was
appointed to investigate the printing
department of the government and see
II there was basis for the impression
that vast amount Of money is wasted
in needless publications. The report
OF this commission sustains the view in
dlcated with elaborate details, filling
800 pages. The government printing
office is the most extensive establish
ment of the kind in the country. and
the regular appropriation for its sup
port last year was 81. 296, ZOO, nearly
double that of ten years previous. At
that ratio of growth it would become a
great expense in no long time. Tue
cost, however, would not be so seriously
complained of if it were serving
any legitimate and useful purpose
to the people. There are tons
upon tons OF printed matter turned out
every year that is OF less use than the
white paper would be. The Congress
siOnal Globe prints speeches for con-
gressmen that are never delivered, and
often neither written nor comprehended
by the member. Fellows with brains
and in need Of money are always at
hand to supply what may be useful to
the member to send home 10 his admir-
ing constituents as speech delivered
to the rapt attention and generous ap-
plause of the house. Regulations made
in this way have profitable run in the

THE RUsINEss OUTLOoK.

The business outlook throughout the
country has favorable appearance, and
in the West there are indications of
greater activity than has been known for
many years. This is largely due to the
increase of values in this section. arising
from the remarkable crops of last year.
In the South the depression continues,
and in the money centers of the East,
while the accumulations are abnormally
large, business is inactive. The dry
goods trade has already picked up won
derfully i'll this section, and it is taken
rs an indication that other branches of
business will soon show like improve
ment.
At the present time peculiar and
unusual condition of affairs prevails in
the East and the West, if we are to be-
iieve the statements that there is an
abundance Of money in both sections.
In New York. Boston, Philadelphia,
Chicago and other cities the banks are
accommodating enormous amounts of
money, much of which is idle. The New
York banks alone hold $500. 600, 900 of
deposits. with reserves aggregating
nearly s170,C00,000. which is $40, GOO, 900
more than required by law. The local
banks of the Northwest all have larger
deposits than before in their history,
and in the centerS like Minneapolis and
St. Paul there is more money than can
be used to advantage in the ordinary
courses of business. 1t is difficult to rec
oncile these statements, except upon the
assumption that there is a much larger
amount of money in circulation than
there was year ago. This the state
mentS of the treasury indicate. The is
sues of government notes have gone on
at the rate of 100000 per month, and
in themselves this would amount to an
increase of over S5O,OOO,OCO. Then there
have been large Withdrawals of gold
from the tleasury, much of which crossed
the ocean, but has since been slowly re-
turning. But little of this has gone
back to the vaults from which it was
drawn. A good explanation for the
activity in the West and the large ac-
cumulationS in the East is to be found
In the statement that collections. which
were difficult for several years in the

words, the West has been paying off Its
debts to the East.
The bank clearings of the country for
the past week reached the sum of
a,3l9, STA. 1872 as compared to 81, POS. 579,-
SIT the week previous The increase
over the corresponding week of last
year was 22.4 per cent. The railroads,
both East and West, are still suffering
from blockades, and have business
enough in sight to keep them busy for
the balance of this year. The price of
iron is down. and an increase in the de-
mand is necessary to prevent the cur
tailment of the product. The low price
of cotton is causing great depression in
the South, and until a change comes
business there will remain stagnant.
Taken all in all, the. Northwest has
much to be thankful for at the present
time in business way.

COMING WHEAT PRICES.

The flood of advice from various quar-
tiers to the wheat growers since the pro-
ducton of the last crop, to hold back
their product. no doubt had some effect.
1t was assumed by those who had most
exclusively studied the situation that
there would be marked advance in the
prices, and that those able to hold would
be greatly benefited. In view of the
great shortage in Russia and the re-
duced supplies in some other sections, it
was believed to De inevitable that the
foreign demand would be so great as
to insure higher prices. But so far
these expectations have not been
fully realized. The past week wheat
has touched the lowest prices in
the East since last July. 1t is true that

A DISTURBING QUESTION.

Politics in New York state is likely to
have this season an infusion of the liquor
question that may confuse political cal
culations. A bill has been presented to
the legislature, under the auspices of the
state association of liquor dealers, as
alleged, that cuts up most of the statutes
on the subject, and, the World says,
''would array against it, and against the
party which should make it law, all
the religious. moral, order-loving and
benevolent influences in the state" 1t
legalizes the sale on Sunday after I p.
IN, withdraws the power OF local option
and emasculates about all the other
restrictions on the traffic. 1t seems I'M
probable that the liquor interest can
hope to enact such measure, or
will hinge its action in politics
upon it. Yet the Wine and Spirit
Dealers Gazette intimates that Snch is
the disposition. Gov. FLOWER will
veto it if it passes, aud it is improbable
that it can be passed over his veto. Its
effect politically will probably be con-
fined to the state economy, but it is not
desirable to have it about in presi-
dental year. The people in that state
may not be very rigid Sabbatarians
practically, but they like to have the
statutes line up in the old-time way on
the question
