A STRANGE HALLUCINArloN.

In 1858 wheat ranged from So to 81
cents and averaged Is cents bushel.
In 1859 from 80 cents to $1.15, averag-
ing 50 cents; in 1860 from 66 cents to
S1.13, averaging 80 cents; in 1861 from
55 cents to S1.25, averaging 80 cents,
and 1862 from IS cents to 924 cents,
averaging 70 cents. For the five years
the average price of wheat in Chicago
was about S3s cents.
Nov, taking the last five years, the
price of wheat in Chicago in 1887 ranged
from 81 to IS cents, averaging 81 cents,
in 1883 from II cents to $500, averag-
ing 80 cents; in 1889 from 751 cents to
$1.OSaa, averaging 81 cents; in 1890 from
"a cents to $1.0S, averaging 81, and in
1891 from IS cents to S1.16, averaging
SO cents. For the five year period the
average price of wheat at Chicago
was about 891 cents, or just about 6
cents higher than from 1858 to 1868.
The gain to the western farmer was
more than cents, by reason of the
lower cost of freight to Chicago. His
net gain was much greater, moreover,
when the fall in the cost of groceries,
dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes,
farm implements, lumber, furniture and
all the necessaries and comforts of life
is considered. In the first period he
paid 5000 for Nanny mandrake reap
or requiring four horses, driver, raker
and five men to bind. Now one man
does it all on harvester which costs
$3.50. He paid $25 for his pillow, and
$3.50 for his farm wagon. His corn
planter cost twice the present cost, and
SO on through the list. Then he paid
IS to 40 cents yard for prints for his
wife's dress, now about one-third as
much. Kerosene oil cost him 81 gal
Ion. Sugar, three pounds for 81, was
luxury; now twenty pounds for 81.
But people will continue to sentimen-
talize over the "good old times" 1t is
a strange hallucination.

GORMAN ON ECONOMY.

From the Kansas City. No., Journal.
Senator German has the reputation OF
being one of the most level-headed men
in his party. His recent utterance upon
the subject of democratic economy in
congress sustaips this reputation quite
conspicuously. The impossibility OF
cutting down the national expenses ap-
probably without blocking public bust
ness was fact 30 plain that Mr.. Cor
man saw the folly Of undertaking it.
Notwithstanding the leaders Of the ma
jority in the house had decided that Q
record for economy mnst be made at all
hazards, German determined such a
piece Of stupidity must not be consum-
mated, and he gave his opinion Of the
matter in very forcible way in speech
before the senate. EXPENDITURES. he

explained, wore growing year BY year
and, he thought, were growing natural.
y and Justly. No party could prevent
them growing. The country was grow.
ing, steadily and rapidly, and the ex-
Pense OF running it had to grow also
There was no important item Of expense
that could be cut down without public
injury. He. for one, would vote fol
every necessary appropriation that
should come before the senate.
Unquestionably Senator Germans
position is the correct one. There can
be no good sense in forcing economy
when there is no proper Judgment fol
it. The appropriations of the last con-
gress were not extravagant, and the
present congress cannot reasonably hope
to come under them. 1t is true that Mr.
Germans method Of dealing with the
subject destroys the democratic party's
most striking campaign issue. but that
cannot he helped. German is right and
the party leaders in the house wrong.

PROTECTION TARIFF CLUBS.

All through Kentucky protective tar.
if clubs are being formed. 1t is hope
full sign; it shows that the people OF
that state are beginning to think for
themselves on the subject of national
politics, and that the boss who leads
blind voters in masses to the polls is be-
ing relegated to the rank of Othello in
that state, and that his occupation is
gone. It also shows how little effect the
silly campaign canards of the democratic
free traders have in state where any
sort of doctrine labeled democratic" is
supposed to pass current as gospel un-
questioned and unanalyzed.
There is just one mistake our Ken
lucky friends are making. They call
these clubs "Henry Clay" clubs. That
shows disposition to evade the issue
while asserting to it's conclusions. 1t
would be far better to call them Nc
Kinley clubs, or Blaine clubs, or Harri-
son clubs, for each one of these able
modern statesmen have had more to do
with the establishment of the protective
policy as we know it in its present per-
lection than did the distinguished gen.
tleman who advocated with able tongue
and pen the american plan" of the
whig party, plan which never received
the breath of life nor the seal Of popular
approval until it Yves viviied and made
potent by the brain and energy of re-
publicanism.
However, we cannot quarrel with our
Kentucky friends. They are welcome
as allies of policy of nationalism, by
whatever name they come, and when
they have learned to walk. instead Of
creep, on the right road, they will Of
themselves find name more fitting to
the ideas of the present and call them
selves full fedged Harrisonian repub-
licans.

He spoke before the bishops at confer

at once. Anderson is best known
in Kansas as the compiler of q
list of Kansas books. He is a regular
biblio-fiend. He graduated from the
