THE GRAIN TRADE-CROPS, sc.

The Cincinnati Price Current of February
ter wheat regions in the West are fully as as
Surfing as whole as any that have preceded
concerning the growing crop. This does not
imply that the average condition is up to the
standard point, for it is not-but the outlook
can not be deemed less favorable than a
month or two months ago. 1t is useless to
calculate on what may happen in the future.
The trade understands that the period in the
progress of the crop which is ordinarily liable
to be the most trying one on the crop is yet to
be reached. The chances admit of serious
drawbacks in the future especially in view of
the backward condition of growth in aconsid-
cradle portion of the crop. The chances may
reasonably be regarded as allowing of such an
impairment of prospect at some future point
as to greatly unsettle markets and lead up to
a sharp turn in sentiment concerning values
On the other hand, as has been previously
suggested, the possibilities are still in favor OF
a fairly good outcome to this portion of tie
wheat crop.
During the week there has been considerable
preceding week, but the advance of 81 cents at
Chicago is mostly lost at the close The weak
ness has been attributed to sentiment based
on apprehensions of action by Congress favor
able to the illy-advised bill introduced for the
purpose of stopping transactions in future.
There is shown some enlargement in mar.
keting of wheat the past week, but there is
still lack of readiness to move the remaining
surplus in the interior at current values. The
quantity going forward, however, is fairly
liberal for the time of year. Milling opera
tons in the interior continue restricted, under
the firmness of holders of grain and the lack
of special animation in the flour trade in the
distributing markets. where supplies are still
liberal, and the offerings free, without devel
oping an enlarging call from the jobbine
trade
The corn markets have been firm during the
past week, the May delivery at Chicago adj
vancing on Saturday to 434, closing yesterday
at 42sc against All week ago.
Total wheat on passage this week 80, ,O0t
bushels, against SO, 1861, 900 last week, and 3D.
040, 900 last year.
Wheat receipts at primary markets were Q,
$751; 900 bushels for the week, against 2343, 900
the preceding week, and l, 100000 last year.
Corn receipts were 1926, 900 bushels, against
3,495, 900 the preceding week, and $4,000
last year.

Waynesboro' Sentinel,

As we had not heard a note of preparation
and as it came unheralded, we were surprised
to find in our mail of last Friday evening a
copy of the Waynesboro Sentinel, new pa
per just started in Waynesboro' by Mr. J. T.
Cooke, Editor and Proprietor, who has our cor
rdial wishes for his success, journalistic and fl
nancial. The initial number gives earnest that
it will be well and energetically conducted.
The salutatory is very good and appropriate,
both in style and matter. The ancient town
of Waynesboro' is waking up, like giant re-
freshed by sleep, and will soon become city,
and her fidelity to the principle and policy of
abstinence from intoxicating liquors, will
make her deserve the success she will win, for
in that respect no town can offer a better in
ducement for settlers who wish to raise their
families where the temptations and evil tend
encies of barrooms do not exist The town
of Waynesboro and her papers have our very
best wishes for abundant success.

The Temperance Bazaar.

The outlook for the Bazaar and Supper to
be given by the Good Templars in the O'Con-
nor building on North Augusta Street next
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, is quite
promising indeed. Articles to the value of
nearly four hundred dollars have been donat-
ed.
The room will be handsomely decorated for
the occasion, and special attention will be Civ
en- to the dinner to be served on Court-day
They will serve both meat and oysrer dinners
and suppers. The proceeds will be appropri-
ated for the purpose of erecting large Tenn
perance Hall in this city,
The object is worthy one and the Bazaar
should be literally patronized.

On'Thursday night week. whilst Geo. w.
Davis and Chas. Bowers were attending serv-
ices in the Methodist church in Franklin,
Pendleton county, W. Va, two boys-Preston
Pennybaker and Robt. Harold thinking it
funny very funny" turJled their horses
loose, and gave them great deal of trouble
hunting through the snow to find them.
When the boys were arraigned and fined $500
each, they did not think the play so very fun
ny. They concluded it was more serio-comic
than comic, and the boys laughed on the
wrong side of their mouths"

He Slept Over Four Months.

A miner named Latus, living at
Myclovitz, in Prussian-Silesia, has just
awakened from sleep that had lasted
for four months and a-half. During
this entire period his limbs were rigid,
but now he appears to have complete
ly recovered, and his cataleptic rigidi-
ty has vanished. Upon awakening
from his long sleep he conversed with
his wife. He was not aware of the
long time he had been asleep. He does
not recall any sensation of pain or any
other sensation. Latus is now threat
ened with Inflammation of the lungs,
and should he be thus attacked he will
probably die, as he is extremely weak
and in no condition to battle success
fully against disease. The only nour-
ishment he takes is milk.

Decay of the Teeth

Arises from various causes, but princi-
pally it may be attributed to early neg
lect or the indiscriminate use of tooth
powders and pastes, which give a mo
mentary whiteness to the teeth while
they corrode the enamel. The timely
use of that delicate aromatic tooth
wash, Fragrant SOZODONT, will
speedily arrest the progress of decay,
harden the gums, and impart delight
full fragrance to the breath. 1t removes
those ravages which people sustain in
their teeth from the use of sweet and
acid articles.

Gov. Boies Says the Tariff is the Issue

Gov. Boies, of Iowa, in a speech
Tuesday of last week at the banquet of
the Greystone Club, Denver, Colorado,
says the tariff is the true issue. The
existing laws, he said, are taking from
the people the product of their labor
and giving it to a favored few Can
we change these laws ~ he asks. "Can
we divert the mighty currents that are
emptying the wealth of this nation
into the hands of few men and scat
ter their golden contents among those
who produce it /? That is the supreme
question of the hour. In the present
status of political parties there is no
power on earth that can accomplish
this, save and except the democracy in
| '92. We must not falter This is the
issue, and this alone will lead US to
victory"
Three years ago. he says, "a demo-
cratic President aroused the country
| by his declaration that unnecessary
taxation is unjust taxation and by
that declaration Incorporated into the
political creed of his followers as one
of it's cardinal principles-to remain, l
hope, forever-the doctrine that the
rightful power Of this government to
levy assessments, direct or indirect, is
limited to its necessities for revenue
alone"
Governor Boies's political creed is
short, simple and breezy. Modern re-
publicanism means, he says, that the
powers of this government may be
used to promote the pecuniary inter
ests of distinct classes of citizens, and,
by consequence, to retard the interests
of other classes. To this, he opposes an
emphatic No! His programme is to
make the raw materials of our indus
tries free of tariff duties, with the OBJ
iect of stimulating manufactures, en-
larging our commerce and cheapening
the necessaries of life to reduce great
ly the tariff tax on such imported man
ufactures as are consumed by the
masses of the people; to keep suf-
ficiently high, for purposes of revenue,
the tax ON imported luxuries, such as
are consumed only by the rich. The
object throughout, he thinks, should
be revenue only" There would be
incidental protection" since the needs
of the government will require a tax
ON many articles, but 1.-The purpose of
the levy" says Governor Boies, must
be revenue, not protection The adj
vantages of such a reform would be
enjoyed by all except the pampered
few who now despoil the masses. The
farmer, the farm-laborer, the mechanic,
the railroad hand, the driver, the clerk,
the merchant, the employees of mills,
factories and works of various kinds
all would profit by buying what they
need to buy at prices nearer the cost
of production under conditions of free
competition. Accustomed to the pres
ent unequal system, few persons com
prehend the benefits to be had from
intelligent and thorough tariff reform.
at would lift says Governor Boies,
1.-The burden of taxation from the
shoulders of the toiling millions of this
nation and place it where it belongs,
ON the shoulders of those who possess
it's wealth." The issue of '''92," &C.
cordingly, is the truly democratic one
of restoring to individual citizens equal
rights under the laws of taxation. In
short, it is tariff reform.
