THE State Convention assembled
at Sedalia yesterday. The sentiment
for Cleveland seems to be unani-

ablest leaders of the Democratic
party are there in attendance. All
the candidates for State offices are
also present. 1t is probable that
the silver plank of the platform
will favor bimetallism and an ade-
quate volume. Tariff Reform is the
watch-word and Cleveland is its
apostle. There are 526 delegates in
the Convention; st. Louis has 81,
the remainder being divided among
the ia counties on an average of a
slight fraction over four to the

The associated press persists in
calling the cheap clothing bill which
has passed the house by a vote of
three to one, 1.-The free wool BILL"
1t is true the bill provides for
free wool, but only as an incident of
the total abolition of all prohibitory
duties on clothing, blankets, ladies'
dress goods, cloaks, underwear,
hannels and wooden goods of all
kinds.
The bill makes a clean sweep of
every Mckinley prohibitory duty in
the entire WOODEN schedules. 1t cuts
away 100 per cent. of 1876 per cent.
duties. 1t leaves nothing but ad
valorem revenue duties that will
grow less as the price of clothing
grows cheaper in other markets. 1t
will allow Americans to buy their
woolens in the cheapest and best
market, and it will reduce the price
of all woolens in America at least 50
per cent. within two years after it's
passage.
The suit of clothes that sells now
for $50 in st. Louis will be bought
at S15 after the passage of this bill,
and that without reduction of trade
profits. Imports of woolens will not
be kept out of the bill. 1t abolishes
"specific" or prohibitive duties out
right and reduces ad valorem duties
to a level where every cent of rev.
enue derived from them will 90 to
the treasury.
1t is the most thorough-going
measure of reform that has been in
troduced in congress for thirty-five
years, and, when passed. it will save
every family in the country more
than 81 in every So now spent for

GOING IN THE SPRING.

The cultivators Of what the New
York Sun calls the stunted grain-fields
of the East will hear with mixed feel
ings the reports of the yield that has
been gathered from the farms of the
Northwest. Far-seeing men, a long
time ago, predicted that which we now
see happening in the country north
west of Lake Superior. The yield this
year has been good in many places in
the western part of the continent, but
amongst the largest returns reported
are some from Manitoba and the
Saskatchewan. Over their own sigma
lures, a number of farmers have an
swered questions put to them, by a cir
cular from the local Government, Civ
ing precise details as to the acreage un-
der crop, the quantity of seed used, and
the amount of grain harvested. The
replies of some show over SO bushels
per acre, but this is exceptional. There
are many over 40 and great number
have averaged Sc of wheat, with heavy
yields of oats and barley. The truth
appears to be, and the New York Sun
explained the reason, that the soil Of
Manitoba and the adjacent provinces is
exceptionally rich and specially adapt
ed for mixed farming by reason of its
adaptability to wheat, and from the
rich grasses that grow SO luxuriantly
throughout the country. And the au-
