DIR. Glover at one time occupied the
position Of Town Marshal with his
other duties. and it is The theory OF
some that he has paid the death pen
atty for some of his official acts But
another theory, and one which finds
many supporters, Is that he was killed
for some one who Is now passing a. his

O'Clock. shortly afterward shots were
heard and many people believe Dr.
Glover was killed by some one who had

The Shows" In tho Treasury.

A newspaper paragraph says that
Secretary Carlisle's advisers are all
young In years, and even younger in
appearance. First Assistant Hamlin
is 80 and looks 80; Comptroller Eckles
is "a, smooth shaven and boyish, I"
and Mr.. Curtis, another assistant, Is
only 3S. The management of the
Treasury Department, as far az il
has gone, has amply shown that
there are number of inexperienced
boys at the helm, with more or less
unsteady over captain. Secretary
Morton has attracted attention by
beating kitchen pans, and Secretary
Carlisle has attracted attention by
the incompetency, not OF himself, for
he is an able man, but of his
assistants. Mr.. Eckles, against
whose confirmation many Of the
most able Democratic papers pro-
tested, has boosted that he knows
nothing about banking, but that he
can learn. His frankness is to be
placed to his credit, but the manage
ment OF national finances Is too big
school. There Is too much at stake
there for boyish experiments to be
turned loose. A good place for a boy
to begin is in some humble position
In . banking house, not at the top
No banking, or any other business
house, would employ man because
he, at some time or other, made a
speech on the tariff which attracted
attention. Other recommendation
are wanted. .--Des MOincs Register.

LOW PRICE OF WHEAT.
SHOWN TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED
BY OvERPRODUCTlO
We Have Doubled Oar Wheat Production
In Twenty y-five YcarA and tho Number Of
Bread-Eatcra HAS Not Increased In
Like Ratio.
The E.s.on Of wheat st.tlst,os.

The statistical abstract issued from
the Bureau OF Statistics contains
some interesting facts regarding the
wheat crop OF the United States from
1869 to 1892, both inclusive, which
should not be without significance to
those interested In wheat growing.
Tho first fact is that the wheat area
has more than doubled, 1t being 49,.
ISL ,0O4 acres In 1869, and 3S, 554, 430
In 1892. This Increase OF area, how
ever, took place between 1859 and
1880, the area that year being only
half million acres less than in 1892
In 1884 the area OF wheat reached
80, 9,475, 1886 acres. but fell Off five and
third million acres the next year
Tho largest area of wheat was in
1891, 39,0l6,819 acres Thus 1t ap-
pears that the acreage OF wheat,
In tho average, has not increased for
more than ten years. Tho yield per
acre during these years has nuctuated
from TO- bushels In 1881 to Is. ;
bushels in 1891, which was exception
ally high, the average being abo ut
l2.5 bushels. The value of the crop,
per acre, shows wider extremes than
the yield, the lowest value being
$S.35, in 1892, and the highest Sl5.27,
in 1879. The price per bushel ranges
from GA cents, In 1892, to $l.25.S 8,
In 1871. The fluctuations of price,
from year to year, are remarkable.
In 1891 the average price was $40
cents, and In 1892, GA. The price
fell from sl.0s.2, in 1877, to I'll
cents in 1878, rose again In 1879 to
81. 1913, fell to 95.l cents the next
year, went up to Sl.19.3 In 1881, and
dropped to 60 cents in 1884. In
spite OF all the declarations of dema-
gogues about the ruin Of tho wheat
grower, in only five years, between
1888 and the present time, was the
average value realized from an acre
Of wheat greater than In 1892. The
aggregate crops OF 1891 and 1892 were
nearly as many bushels as those of
five years beginning with 1869.
The foregoing figures must disclose
to every person OF average sense the
causes which have made the present
and recent low wheat prices. The
United States have been producing
double the wheat they did twenty-five
years ago As the number of bread
eaters has not increased in anything
like that ratio, 1t stands to reason
that there must be decline In
prices. When it is recalled that In.
dia, Russia, Australia, the Argentine
Republic, and Chilli have also doubled
their wheat product in twenty-five
years, he must be lacking in ordinary
intelligence who will believe the
stories which the demagogues told
during last falls campaign that the
protective tariff made low wheat,
when it Is patent that abundant and
even too much wheat has made
lower prices

How 1t Works.

The report from Washington that
the administration intends to impose
q duty on sugar and coffee harmon
izes with the free-trade theory. The
same plan was proposed shortly after
Mr.. Cleveland's Inauguration In 1885.
The free trade doctrine IL that tariff
should not be beneficial to any es-
pecial interest, 50 that it would fall
upon all alike. Every one would
contribute to the payment OF a tariff
on tea, coffee and sugar. AS the
working classes outnumher the rich
they would pay the most OF it 1t
Is also proposed to remove the duties
from manufactured articles, and to
open the way for their increased i'm
portation. As the working classes
produce such articles the change
would inevitably deprive them OF a
part OF their employment, and reduce
their wages. That Is the way free
trade works, Cleveland Leader.
