Nature has seen fit to have
changeable weather and why
not have your person garmented
with neat and nobby suit
made of heavyweight material
to suit the weather that is now
creeping upon us. You need u
new winter suit and as the cold
waves are very uncertain you
will be wise If you place your
order now for winter wearing
apparel, so as to have it to don
when clustering weather is
ushered in. Such an immense

The Road to Ruin,

We take from the Clereland Leader this
Republican wow of the situation: and we
take it for the purpose OF showing to
what preposterous folly some half-hearted
Democrats are seeking to commit the De-
mocracy. to its everlasting discontinue
and the e1ultation OF the Republicans:
III Congress would attend to the silver question as
recon- nded By President CLErxLASp. and then pass

The Cleveland Leader and the rest OF the
Republican extremists are correct in their
conclusion. il their premises are sound. II
the Democrats refuse to put an end to the
fraud and robbery called the protective
tariff. as they have promised to do. what
will there DO for the country to do save to
vote the Republicans back into power and
toelect protectionist President? How else
can the Democracy be punished for getting
votes under false preteuces.
II the Democrats are going to sneak. they
might just as wei! do it right of as recon-
mended by the rabid Republicans.

In the five years from 1874 to 1879 nearly
one-half al per cent? was added to the pro-
ductive power OF the farms VI the United
States. while the population increased but
II per cent. In the fifteen years ending
with 1884. the additions aggregated 81. 0O0. 900
acres and equalled 80 per cent. while the
population increased only As per cent. Is 1t
any wonder that prices. for all agricultural
products. fell?
AS increased the acreage OF tho United
States in excess Of domestic requirements,
so fell the price Of staple food products the
world over. and 80 fell the price of land and
the revenue OF landlord and cultivator.
While We were adding s7.OOO. 900 acres to
the cultivated area. the additions to the
food-bearing AREAS OF the temperate zones
other than In the United Ststes. aggregated
but t.OOO. 900 acres. being but II per cent. Of
our additions.
Ofthis vast American increase-probably
five or six times as much 40 was ever added
to the worlds cultivated area In a like
period-67. 100000 acres were devoted to the
production OF such primary food staples
as grain and potatoes: and such additions
were actually in excess Of the food require
ments OF the entire bread-eating world.
That is TO say. il no additions had been
made elsewhere In the temperate zones.
the additions made to the food-bearinR
areas in the United States would have
been quite sufficient to have met the aug
menting requirements OF the bread eating
populations. For instance. the Increase OF
the bread -eatinG populations during the
seventies required an addition to the
wheat-bsaripg area Of about Il. 900 900 acres:
yet tho additions made to tho wheat area
Of the United States. during that decade.

needs by moro than 100000 acres.

ton of the arabic portion of the public do

OF agricultural development about the mid

Plain Words to ShrleI,ers.

For the benefit Of obstinate or swagger-
ing Republicans and scared Democrats. we
reproduce some observations OF our es-
teemcd contemporary. tho Philadelphia
Record. upon the inevitable duty OF tho
Democratic party
That duty is plain, and shrieks and pro-
tests come too late. The time for these was
in the campaign OF 1892. Since the Tuesday
after the first Monday Of November in that
year they have been silly and superluous
The people have spoken. and their will is
not to be set aside ON account OF the hys-
tercs Of few devotces OF the system de-
clared by the people last fall to be fraud
and robbery. The Democratic party has
received its commission. The terms OF that
commission cannot be changed.

Aggregate product OF 1891 and 1892 L. ?o3 ooo. 900
As the ten preceding crops OF the United
States-harvested from areas somewhat
Rreater-averaged but 1000 900 bushels,
the crops OF 1891 and 1892 enabled US to
throw upon the markets an extraordinary
contribution OF $4,000. 900 bushels. and sup
plies from other sources being for the two
years quite up to the average. the consum-
Ing element was unable to absorb such IN
excess; the result being that the world en-
tiers upon the 1884, harvest year with an
apparent reserve OF ITO 200, 900 bushels. Be-
Ing concentrated to an unusual extent In
the hands OF dealers. who find 1t difficult to
borrow upon it. this reserve has exerted
and continues TO exert very depressing
effect upon prices already demoralized by
the plethora OF the last two years. The con-
sequence is that prices have descended to a
level that no living man has known.
Such acreage yields from American fields
being hitherto unknown. 1t may be as
sumed that they will but rarely be repeat
ed; and the worlds wheat area. with aver
age yields. being now deficient by moro
than 100000 acres, an average harvest
will produce but 1881. 900 bushels. while
the requirements are now 2.i40. 900 900. and
augmenting at the rate OF more than 30
100000 bushels per annum-the equivalent
of 2.3oO.Oo0 new acres. Therefore, We may
expect prices to advance to a rcmunerative
level just as soon as existing reserves shall
have been consumed.
Prices having once reached such level.
q continuance Of their remunerative char
acter is practically assured by the proba-
bility that such additions as are made to
the wheatbearing area in the Balkan States
and South America will DO more than neu-
tralized by acreage losses in western Eu-
rope and America.

The notable features OF the situation are
that the world product Of 1891 and 1892. In

ordinary acreage yields in the United States.
and that the wheat markets Of tho world
have long been dominated aud prices Who'll

OF American supplies. We first controlled
and depressed prices TO an unremunerative
