The July Crop Report.

The July report of the Department
of Agriculture has been trimmed down
to meet the exactions of few specula-
tive souls, who fear the effects of
dissemination of too much informa
ton.
1t is not in order to apply the ratio
of condition of wheat and ultimate re-
turns of yield last year in this seasons
reckonings. Conditions were excep-
tional last year, leading to surprises ;
this year, disappointments will be the
rule.
AS compared with month ago the
official estimate is slightly improved
for winter wheat and slightly reduced
for spring wheat, making the general
average about the same-pointing to
approximately 335,OOO,OO0 bushels of
winter and 17O,OOO,OOO bushels of spring
grain, or sos, 100000 for the entire crop.
The chances are more in favor of a
smaller result than otherwise.
The condition of corn is shown to be
very close to what should have been
expected. The indications as to area
and condition point to approximately
1850, 100000 bushels-and it would un-
doubtedly call for extraordinarily
favorable conditions to produce result
in excess of this.
The oats crop appears to be rated
rather high Conditions ora irraou1ar
in many localities the yield is good,
but there is such an area of deficient
conditions that it seems doubtful if the
official estimate, which suggests about
100000 900 bushels, can be realized in
the final returns.

Mr.. fuckers S,eech OH the Election OF
Senators.

In the House of Representatives on
joint resolution providing that senators
shall be elected by direct vote of the
people. Mr. Tucker, democrat, of Vir-
ginia, who reported the resolution,
spoke in favor of the change, and said
that the legislatures were more amena-
BILE to undue influence and the corrupt
ing power of corporate aggressions and
Individual wealth than would be the
entire population of state. He SAID that
state and federal officers should be kept
distinct and separate for the purity ana
the betterment of both. Under the
specious guise of interest merely IN the
senatorial election legislatures are de-
bauched and the purchased member
can hardly pose as the unbought and
unpurchasa BILE tribune of the peoples
local rights. The proposed resolution
was not cure for the evils complained
of by the people, but it would eradicate
MANY such evils, and would have u
healthful tendency to check the III
crease of others evils. 1t would have Il
wholesome influence upon political par
ties and an appeal wonld be made di-
rectly to the people for their suffrages.
Upon the conclusion of this speech, Mr..
Tucker was greeted by his colleagues
who crowded the aisles to offer con-
CALCULATIONS. The debate was continu-
ed briefly by Mr.. Gantz, democrat, OF
Ohio; Mr.. Rabbit, democrat, OF Wiscon-
sin; Mr. Doan, democrat, of Ohio; Mr..
Herman, republican, of Oregon; Mr..
Powers, republican, of Vermont; Mr.
Bryan, democrat, of Nebraska; MIR. Ian
ham, democrat, of Texas; Mr. Dear
mond, democrat, of Missouri; Mr.. Cllp-
man, of Michigan, and Mr.. Cummings,
| democrat. of New York-all of whom
favored the general proposition to elect
senators by direct vote of the people,
although opinions differed as to the
method of securing the changes.
The Republicans prevented vote by
tilibustering.

Mr.. Cleycland's Warning.

Mr.. Cleveland, says the Lynchburg
Virginidn, is a statesman OF pro-
nouneed views on the tariff and silver
questions growing out OF his
sincere and honest convictions; and
there may be some Democrats who
think that he attaches too much I'M
portance to the question of tariff re-
form, upon which he has done so much
to educate the people of the country
But there is another question in this
campaign that he places above either
of these in Importance, especially to
the people of the South, and that is the
policy Ut force and coercion to which
the Republican party is committed and
which it is bent on carrying out if the
re suit of the Presidential election places
it in a position to do SO.
In his letter to he Democrats of Pine
Bluff, Ark, published elsewhere, Mr..
Cleveland well and truly characterizes
the evils and dangers that menace the
people Of the South in case OF Demo
cratic defeat, as appalling" The old
er generation Of the Southern people
know well what II policy Of force and
Federal interference in State affairs
means. They have not forgotten the
desperate efforts of the same reckless,
radical, revolutionary party, of which
Mr. Harrison is now the head, in bygone
years to put 1.-The bottom rail on top
in the South and to subject them to
the most CALLING yoke that the devilish
ingenuity of their vindictive persecu-
tors could devise. The very memory
of those days of persecution, proscrip
ton and black despair, when ignorant
negroes, backed by Federal bayOnets
held high carnival in the Legislative
halls of Southern capitals and wasted
the substance of the people in riotous
extravaga should nerve them tC
make one more heroic and united effort
at least, for the overthrow of the party
that contemplates Il renewal of these
outrages upon the rights and libertie:
of the people.
| Mr.. Cleveland's warning is u timely
one and we hope it will awaken oul
people to a full sense of the danger thai
| menaces them.

General Adlai E. Stevenson, the nex1
Vice-President of the United States
employs a great many workers in Goa
mines. The New York World says that
on Monday night of last week a delega
ton of 800 of these workmen called
upon him to congratulate him on his
nomination, and to thank him for his
unfailing kindness and fairness in his
treatment of them. He replied
''The most kindly and cordial feel
ings should ever exist between the en-
ployer and employed. All disagree
ments should be settled either by con
ference or by arbitration. 1t has been
my firm conviction for years that
organization looking solely to the bet
tering of the protection of their rights
is a necessity to the wage-earners"

The Third party leaders in North
Carolina advise a union with the re-
publicans. Why certainly! Whenever
a southern democrat becomes an indie
pendent, or joins third party, it will
always be safe to bet that he will soon
be found working either as a rcpubli-
can, or with the republican party, to
defeat The white people among whom
he lives, and put them under negro
domination. All wise people who have
any interest I'M the welfare of the South
will exert their utmost endeavors from
now until sunset on election day to
secure the success of the democratic
ticket, for woe will betide this section
if that ticket be defeated. Mr.. Harri-
son is more in favor of the Force bill
now than ever, and his party formally
declared for. that bill at it's recent ma
tional convention.-AzeGG Gazette.

Why Republicans Oppose fuckers Bill.

When the Republicans discovered
that fuckers bill for the election of
United States Senators by popular vote
would be death to the Force bill, they
opposed it.
The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Times says
Sin the House Tuesday week the
Committee on Rules gave up the time
for the consideration of bill providing
for an amendment of the Constitution
to enable the people of the States to
elect Senators of the United States by
popular vote. There were some excel
lent speeches, notably that by Mr.. H.
st. G. Tucker, Dem, Va.,D who re-
ported the bill, and the measure APP
peared to be generally satisfactory
until it was learned by the Republicans
that the effect of the Constitutional
amendment as proposed would be to
amend out of the Constitution any
authorization under which the Repuh-
licans now imagine that Force bill
can be justified. Mr.. Reed and other
Republicans filibustered, and the day
was used up before vote could be
reached"

Who PAYS the Tariff Tax?
AN ADMIRER OF MCKINLEY HIS DISCOv.
Erred THAT IT IS THE CONSUMER.

Erred THAT IT IS THE CONSUMER.
There is street car driver in Wash
ington named Mike Doran. He is a ma
tive of Ireland and has been in this
country about six years. He is Il pref
ty bright fellow, is close reader of the
newspapers and a careful observer of
everything that is going on. During
the past year Mike has been paying &
good deal of attention to the tariff ques-
tiOn and has been led away by the
theories of the Republicans that pro-
lection was good thing for the poor
man and helped to keep up wages. An
incident occurred within the week
or ten days that has made Mike some
what skeptical. He had been told, by
the Republicans, of course, and by Nc
Kinley in particular, that the foreign
ers paid our taxes. Mckinley said so
in his Minneapolis speech and Mike be-
lieved him at the time. About ten days
ago a cousin of Mixes arrived in this
country. lie brought u present from
Mikes mother to her son, consisting
of twelve ptirs of wooden socks which
she herself knitted for him. 1t is safe
to say that the value Of the socks was
about 30 cents pair, but when Mikes
cousin arrived at the custom house he
was assessed % cents pair tariff duty
on the socks. When he came To Mike
he showed his receipt from the custom
house offic, rs for the So that he Lad
paid for the dozen socks, and Mike, OF
course, had to refund the money to
him. This set Mike thinking, and on
the suggestion of friend, with whom
he conferred. he addressed the follow
ing letter to Governor Mckinley on the
subject:
Hon. WILLIAM MCKINLEY-DEAR
SIR: reld your speeches in the House
of Representatives during the Fifty
first Congress when the tariff bill was
under discussion, in which you asserted
and made lie believe that the foreign
ers paid o,ir taxes. | also read your
speech rs presiding officer of the Re-
publican National Convention at Min
neapolis, in which you asserted again
that the foreigner paid our taxes. My
mother sent me dozen pair of socks
from Ireland few days ago, each pair
| being worth about 20 cents. My cou-
sin, who brought them to me, had to
pay % cents pair tariff duties on the
socks at the New York Custom house.
Will you please be kind enough to tell
me to what foreign Government shall
apply to have that SO refunded to me
Ii the foreigner pays the tax, as you say
he does, am entitled to get my money
back, but | do not know just exactly
to what foreign Government to apply,
and l hope you will be kind enough to
inform Inc by return mail. Yours
truly. MICHAEL DORIAN
This is very pretty little object les
son, and should not be lost sight of by
people who are laboring to understood
the tariff question.
