THE GOVERNORS AND THE
GRAIN MARKETS.

Aside from the national issues dis
cuSSed in the campaign, the only other
question was that forced by the Demo
Gratis. the grain markets. That this was
not the trivial thing which the millerS
and elevator men insisted it was; that
there is a foundation for the allegations
of the Democrats, and great public
wrong crying for a remedy, is amply
shown in the prominence given to the
subject by both the retiring and the i'll
coming governor.
In the campaign Of 'SS the platform Of
the Democratic party had a plank de-
nouncing as ineffective the law of 80
as remedy for the complaints which
gave rise to its enactments. The plank
pointed out the absurdity of providing
Tor an inspection at terminals as rem
edy for evils originating at the initial
points long prior to the arrival of the
grain at the terminal. 1t declared that
the evil arose from an abdication by the
railroads of one of their functions, and
that the cure was to compel them to re-
sumo it. The platforms of 80 and '92
repeated the declarations, and the dis
closure of the methods of robbery prac-
ticed under this false system. made by
the Democratic committee, made the
grain the one state issue.
Both messages treat the question.
Both admit the charges made by the
Democrats. Gov. MERRIAM says there
is every reason to believe that, at coun-
try points, there has been much dis
elimination in the way of dockage and
in grading wheat, and very many
wrongs have been perpetrated in this
direction. to the detriment of the farm
ing community in the wheat-growing
districts" Gov. NELSON says that it is
only the big farmers" or dealers who
ship direct to the terminals, where the
state acts as an umpire between them
and the buyers at the terminal with her
inspectors and WeigherS; "but the or
binary farmer, he VINO is unable to ship
in carload lots and is obliged to sell his
grain by the wagon load to the local
dealers-and most farmers belong to
this class--he has no state umpire either
as to grade, weight or dockage. No state
Weigner or state inspector is at hand or
can be invoked to right his wrong, if
any, but he is RENTED to the vague and
dilatory remedy of the common law"
In this the governor is mistaken. lie
has no remedy at all in the law. If he
is not satisfied with the weight or grade
of dockage he can go to another buyer
in the combine and get the same treat
ment.
1t is gratifying to the GLOBE to have
the position taken by the Democr ats in
their platforms and in the campaign
thus reinforced and Endorsed by these
two governors. The evil is too general
and serious a one to be made party
issue, and if the legislature will address
itself seriously, intelligently and hon
estly to its redress, it will have the sup
port of the GLOBE and of the Democrats
in the legislature. If it fail to do it; if
il permits the combine to frame its bills,
as did the legislature of 'S5, and try to
fool the people with a semblance of re-
medal legislation, the GLOBE assures
them that the question will be made a
party one, and that the Democrats will
keep up the fight until it is won.

which were, in brief, that, although he
was personally neutral in regard to it

CROP OF 1892.
Wheat Yield Slightly Above the
Average.

Average.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The wheat
crop is slightly above an average in
yield. and in volume has only been eX-
ceeded in 1891, 1884 and 1882. though the
crops of 1889 and 1880 nearly equaled it.
The area, as estimated, is $500, 430
acres; product, 515. $40, 900 bushels; val
ne, 1922, Ill, S12. la the revision of acre
age, the principal changes are made in
some states in which the decline of the
past twelve years has been heavier than
had been reported. There has also been
q considerable enlargement of breadth
the past year in several Western states.
The rate of yield is 1874 bushels per
acre. The average value per buShel,
GA cents, is the lowest average value
ever reported. that of 1884 being 64.5
cents and that of 1887 being 6S.1 cents.
The average of the crop Of 1891 was S3.9
cents. The weight of measured bush
els will be determined later, but it is
probable that the acreage above will be
equivalent to nearly 500,000,000 COM
mercia bushels.
The estimates of corn. wheat aud oats
area, product and value by states and
territories, by the statstician OF the
department of agriculture, have been
completed, and will be distributed to
the press tomorrow. The corn crop is
short, exceeded in quantity several
times in the last ten years. but slightly
larger than III 1888, 1887 and 1890. Its
average yield per acre, 23.1 bushels, has
been exceeded six times in ten years.
Its area is considerably reduced, the re-
duction being very heavy in the corn
producing regions, though offset in
part by increases in the Atlantic states
and throughout the entire cotton belt.
In the valleys Of the Ohio and Missouri
planting was retarded and limited
greatly by heavy rains. which prevented
blowing. The production was 1.26S. 464,-
600 bushels: value, S542. 146 $50. averag
ing 1913 cents per bushel. Inc estimates
for oats are Product, 661, $3.50, 600 bushels;
value, S2O0, 253,6ll; yield per acre, 24.4
bushels.

trolling their employees votes; and that,
with the firm stand taken by organized
labor, resulted in the overwhelming de-
feat of the Republican party"
AS an extensive employer, the senator
doubtless spoke from a personal eXpe-
rience with his employees, both under
the old open ballot and under the
secret ballot. His associations with
other employers OH large scale I'M
doubtedly make him familiar with
their methods of controlling votes, and
so he speaks from wider experience
than merely his own. And the senator
speaks as truthfully as he does candid
ly. While the papers of his party have
for years been firing the Northern
heart with denunciationS Of the denial
of voting to Southern negroes, Northern
employers have been controlling their

four more of the mob. The mob is

continued 10 receive accesSiOns to its

ton introduced Dec. 81, 1892 to sus-
pend all purchases of silver bullion I'M

an amendment to it, being the bill in
troduced by himself on Dec. IL. with
the third section modified SO as to make
its closing sentence read: And all
silver bullion belonging TO the United
States shall be coined as rapidly as pos
sible, without delaying coinage for de-
positUrs.' He proceeded to address the
senate in an argument against the re-
peal of the act of 1890, and in favor of
free coinage The people at the last
election, he said, voted for no principle
but change. The Democrats promised
to change tariff schedules. The voters
decided that no change could be
for the worse; any change might
be beneficial. Over million voters,
without hope of success, protested by
voting for Weaver. Others stayed at
home III sympathy or disgust; but
enough voted to defeat Harrison and

But if it failed and the corner on gold
were maintained, both the old parties

convention at Brussels, and who today
made his first appearance in the senate
chamber at the present session, re
manned i'll his seat while Mr.. Stewart
was speaking, and appeared TO be pay

CANDID SENATOR WAsHBURN

Senator WAsHBURN differs with the
eminent authorities in his party as to
the cause of the late catastrophe which
overlook his party. We had President

"the tariff did it," Tom REED is still of
the opinion that 1.-THE women did it,"
and we have the diagnosis of Dir.

spread Of socialism. And now comes
our own senator with frank admission
that il was the Australian ballot that
did il. The senator was on his way back
to Washington, and stopped i'll Chicago.
1T may be that he stopped to see if Mr..
