Cold Facts About Silver.

he great mass of the people of the

Pillsbury's Estimate.

WHAT THE NOTED MILLER SAYS OF TIL
WHEAT CROP IN THE NORTHWEST.
C. A. Pillsbury, of st. Paul, Mimi, wa
asked for his views on the prosperity,
spring wheat crop and on grain prospect
in general. Mr.. Pillsbury was quoted il
Chicago as estimating less than a 10000,
000- bushel crop of wheat in Minnesota
and the Dakotas, and in reply to ques
tion as to the commences of the state
ment as reported, he said:
eyes, sent the dispatch to a persona
friend, in answer TO an inquiry as to my
estimate of the growing wheat crop
stating tkat l did not think that, under
the most favorable circumstances, Soutl
Dakota could raise oyer one-half an aver
age heat crop. Minnesota two-thirds,
and North Dakota three-fOurths. Now
counting an average crop abont POS, Co.,
COO bushels for the three States, this
would figure out that there would not be
raised over 65 900, 900 or 20, 100000 bush
els. had no idea the dispatch would
have been made public, or l probably
would not have sent it, Bnt now that
1t has been made public, am prepared
to stand up to it.
"From later information l have re-
ceived do not think the crop of North
Dakota can be three-quarters of an aver
age crop. We have just had good rains
every where; but rains at this time of the
year are not going to make up for the
thin stand of wheat on the ground and
and the short heads. In a great many
places the stools are either wholly or par.
TALLY dead. The original stalk, and in
some cases part of the stools, have sur.
vived the drought. Now no kind Of
weather can bring these dead stools back
to life Oyer large section Of the terri.
tory the wheat has headed out about a
foot high on short heads. No kind of
weather is going to make these heads
long SO under the most favorable cir
cumstances, do not estimate that the
three States can raise over $4,000, 900 oil
20, 900, 900 bushels of wheat, with the
danger of hot weather when the wheat is
in the milk and the dough, rust and ear
ly frosts yet to hear from which may still
materially reduce my estimate. The
chances are that with the 10000, GOO
bushel crop our farmers would get as
much money out of it as they would
out of 100, 000 600 bushels, provided the
whole world IS not made to believe that
we are going to raise about 100, 900, 900
bushels, and the fact that we have Lot
raised more than 100000 is not known
until the farmers have parted with the
most of their wheat and wheat begins to
to be scarce.
any opinion is that If the farmers are
not forced to sell the great bulk of their
wheat crop during the first movement of
the crop they will get good prices for the
next crop. 1t looks to me that, taking
the best accounts we can get from the
winter wheat crop and the probable yield
of the srring wheat crop, the United
States will not produce on the Atlantic
seaboard a bushel of wheat more than
will be needed for our own consumption,
and that the only amount we will have
to spare for export is the surplus left
over from the last two crops. Our visi
BILE supply is abous 10000, 900 above the
minimum which it ever reached"

Miss RiVes as a Farmer.

miss Gertrude Rlves, daughter of Col.
A. L. Rives and sister of Mrs. Amelie
Rives- Chanler, has added to her extensive
list of accomplishments the art of farm
ing. Her effort in this direction have
been crowned with success. Fields of
superior grain wheat, oats and rye-and
her grass lands yield five tons OF cut grass
per acre, fat cattle. thoroughbred horses,
all demonstrate that by proper and
judicious management our Virginia farms
can be brought to high state of perfec-
ton. Miss Riyes's machine for Laling

farmers. 1t is estimated that a hundred
thousand bales of hav will be the output
this season.

Free Silver.

The term Free Silver is now generally
used and so little understood that we
frequently hear men entertaining opposite
views upon the subject rroclaimlng,
themselves as free silver men. AS we IN
derstand the question the free silver
states want the Government to receive
their silver, and coin it into currency,
giving them one dollar for the amount of
silver necessary to make a one dollar
coin. The government would thus pay
one dollar for aboat 81 cents worth of
silver and the miners would receive a
handsome bonus upon their productions.
As the Sherman bin requires the govern
meut to continue to purchase large
amounts if silver every month and com it,
1t can be readily seen that Free Silver
means a great bonanza to the owners of
silver mines. The greatly increased pro-
ductiOn has caused a regular de-
cline ia the price of silver, and 50 great
is that decline that the public has lost
confidence in the silver dollar, which is a
legal tender for debts, notwithstanding
the fact that il contains now but about
81 cents worth Of silver. 1t is true the
Government is bound to redeem her coin
but a lack Of confidence IN the currency
produces stringency and often causes a
panic which results in great loss to the
mass of the people. The gold dollar is a
good standard of value because ltreQuires
dollars worth OF gold to make dollar,
and that dollars wotth OF gold represents
the cost of its production as well as its
market value. If the Government will
put dollars worth OF silver in a dollar
there will be no further demand for free
silver and the silver dollar " III enjoy the
confidence of the public. The cry for
moro money Is made by class who cup
pose that an increase Of currency is all
that is needed. They are willing to take
a deprecated currency because they be
lieve that any Kind Of currency will
make better times and relieve the wants
of the people. The history of the past
teaches the contrary result. Every effort
to float currency which had no real
strong basis has proved disastrous. The
desire for cheap money, With the I'M
preston that it will relieve the burdens
of every body is a delusOn which is
hundreds of years old. Tue experiment
has been tried by various counties and
always has had the same result, which
was disaster and ruin. England tried IT.
in 1893, under the scheme known as the
English Land Bank. France in Ills es-
tablisbed the Royal Bank, basing its
credit upon the lands Of the stockholders.
In 17S6 the Rhode Island paper bank at
tempted to supply the people with an
abundance of currency TO meet their
wants and to enable then to pay their
debts. In every case the money did not
command the public confidence and the
result was ruin and disaster. Cheap
money whether it be coin or paper cur
rency Will not relieve tie wants of the
people. A sound currency is the safe
guard of free people, and every scheme
to introduce any other KIND of currency
is a snare and delusiOn which in the end,
will increase the burdens of the people
and bring to them the disastrous results
which they are endeayoring to avert.

The Comet as Seen by Pof Grisb.

Inc COlQ6I as O66u by GOl. GIlSDy
WASHINGTON July 16-At 1880 o'clock
last night the comet, which is now tie
object of so much search and speculation,
suddenly developed an enormous tail
which to the Impractical eye, was taken
to be a display of aurora borealis. At
that hour Professor Frisby, Of the Naval
Observatory, was studying the comet
through the Dine-nch glass. lie noticed
long streak of greenish white light
shoot out from the comet and extend
itsslf almost to the zanith. At first, the
nucleus of the comet being at that mo-
ment hidden by a heecy cloud, it was
thought that the aurora borealis had
sent out an advance notice OF brilliant
engagement, but as there was no flicker
ing and as the light came steadily from
where the comet had last been seen, FRO
fessor concluded that he was seeing a
comet in process of development.
The tail of the comet las 30 degrees in
length, distance about sixty times as
long as the moon is wide, and extended
from 10 degrees above the horizon almost
to the zenith. 1t was plainly visible to
the naked eye, and was watched for some
time by the corps Of observers at the
institution.
