Evidences of the manner In which the
Democratic campaign bosses bled the
fourth class postmasters for money with
which to carry on the fusion policy OF
political suicide are continually coming to
light. First, Thank God Hazard had his
whack at the army of unfortunates and,
after bleeding them for all they could give,
put the money down "in his jeans"
applying il on an old debt owing him from
the state central committee. Then the
committee itself took n turn and again
made call on the postmasters, this time
Charles DeFrance. secretary of the COM
mittee. being the political bIackmailer.
Tie following printed letter, mailed to the
postmaster at Eagle Gorge by DeFrauce, is
a fair sample of how money for the cam

INDIA'S WHEAT SUPPLY.

The trade tables Of British India for the
year ending March 81. 1893, have just been
published. They set at rest apprehen-
sOns which were felt last year by Ameri-
can wheat-growers. In the year ending
March 81, 1892, the exports of wheat from
British India exceeded thirty million of
huDdredweignts, or. as one should say,
centals, as against a normal average OF
about 100000 centals, and the old cry
was revived that British India was goin z
to supersede the United States as the
source of Europe's wheat supply. But 10
the following year-which ended March
81, 1693-the exports fell off one-half, the
total being only 1873, 453 centals. This
confirms the assertion of well-informed
Anglo Indians that British India was un-
likely TO exceed in future years the eg-
port of 1882, and that Europe could not
count on an increased supply from that
source. Oudn and the Punjab must figure
in wheat calculations side by side with
California. When the crop is unusually
large home consumption increases pro-
portionately, and the balance available for
export remains about the same.
The pregnant fact in the wheat move
ment is the steady decrease In European
production coupled with steady increase
in European consumption. Until within
twenty years, England grew one-haf of
the wheat it consumed. In 1872 and 1873
the importation began to exceed the home
crop. and the difference has been increas-
ing ever since. In 1879 the British grain
crop was 12,600,000 quarters and the i'm
portati0n 100000 quarters. Last year
no Il
portati0p %. 10000 quarters. Other Euro
peans countries more nearly supply their
wants, but still need a steadily increas sing
quantity of wheat from abroad 20 feed
their people. Last year France produced
2S3. 700, 0C0 bushels and imported A. ZOO, 900
Germany produced 100000 bushels and
imported 25,0O0,000; Italy produced 122,
100000 bushels and imported $4,000, 900
Austria. d. 400. 600 bushels. and imported
| 40.000.000. 1t need hardly be observed
that the dimnution of the wheat crops in
Europe is traceable to the decline in the
market price of the staple. When wheat
! falls to its present value. farmers devote
| their land to other uses and import their
wheat from foreign countries.
The proportions in which these foreign
countries supply the want are revealed by
the English trade returns, for the CONT
nent of Europe gets much of its imported
wheat from England at second hand. In
the year 1892 Great Britain imported Co..
5000 hundredweight. or centals, OF
which 80 per cent was supplied by the
United States. British India supplied r..
495, 600 centals, or about 20 per cent; Russia
furnished 1867, 900 centals, Canada 1875,
600, Argentine 3.466.0C0 and Australasia
about 1000, 600. These figures are hundred
weights, which for general purposes Of

Of these various wneat-eXportiBg coun-

wheat advances materially in price. to in
crease its export to any very great extent
that is Argentine. The Indian crop has
not Increased in twelve years. No in
creased wheat acreage is reported from
Russia. AS TO the United States and Can
ada unless wheat becomes much more val
liable than it is future crops are more
likely 10 approximate to that of 1898 than
to that of 1892. The acreage is not in
creasing, and the losses of wheat-growers
are leading to more diversified agriculture.

and the Dakotas, where wheat is the only
plant which can be grown to advantage,
tie crops may perhaps increase with favor

MIA and some of the river States, where
soil and climate permit the cultivation Of
other agricultural products. it is probable
that If wheat continues to sell al its pres
ent prices the limit of production has been

THE HAW AlIAN POLICY.

In a general way the McCreary resolu-
ton sustainS the Presidents Hawaiian
policy. 1t becomes matter Of some in
terest now to know what that policy is.
The first step of the President was to
withdraw the treaty Of annexation which
the Senate held at the time of Mr.. Cleve-
lands inauguration. This step the House
now indorses. Tie second was to send
Nr. Blount as a Commissioner or personal
agent 10 take the place of a Minister whom
the Senate had approved. This also the
House indorses. The effect Of this is to
cIOthe the Executive with power to sup
plant a Minister whom the Senate has
approved with a Presidential appointment
which the Senate has not been asked to
consider. The hauling down of the Ameri-
can flag is another feature of Mr.. Cleve-
lands Hawaiian policy which the House
has now Endorsed. The hauling down Of
the flag was followed in due time by a
proposition TO restore the eX-Queen to the
throne on condition that she promise to
grant amnesty for the acts of the PrOvis-
iOnal Government. AS the deposed Queen
refused TO comply with the conditions the
proposition has not become matter of
record. But a little later the Queen
changed her mind, and Immediately Minis
ter Willis requested the Provisional Gov
eminent to hand the reins of government
over 10 the Queen. AT present the record
ends here. The refusal of President Dole
to step down and out prevented the con-
summation of what the New York Sun
terms the policy of infamy.

THE FEDERAL ELECTIONS LAW.

The bill repeating all laws authorizing
the United States Government to super
wise the election of Congressman in the
several States has passed the Senate and
now goes TO the President. If Mr.. Cleve-
land were as much in favor of pure politics
as he has claimed to be he would veto the
bill. He knows that it is only by the
provisions of this bill that "a comparatively
honest vote has been cast and counted in
many parts of the country. The prin-
cipsl city Of his own State is no exception.
But Mr.. Cleveland will not veto the bill.

SINGLE TAX.

The proposition TO concentrate all taxes
on land is thus supported by an Eastern
writer:
contend that the only title by which any.
thing can be made private property is Droduc-
ton by labor, and as the State does not and
never did make land. therefore the State has
no more right 10 make IL the private property
of any Que than it would have TO make private
property of air. or sunshine, or ocean.
The States authority over air, sunshine
and ocean is limited only by its power to
control those elements. Would not ocean
water be reduced 10 ownership as well as
river water if either the State or indiyld-
uais could see their way to do so? If the
ocean breeZes which are so copi0us in San
Fran cisco in August could be bottled up
and shipped to New York to be let loose
on sultry day would not the right be
assumed to such ownership in air as would
justify the enterprise? So with sunshine
There is often in localities more sunshine
than Is good either for the country OF the
people. If 1t could be confined, kept in
storage. cold or otherwise, would not a
promising new industry be created? Who
would question the right Of the State, or of
an individual acting under State laws, to
box or bottle up all the sunshine the peo-
pie of the locality in which he might oper-
ate did not want for themselves? The
State, our single-tax friend says, does not
make land. 1t finds land ready made.
Where is no land there is no State. But
the State takes possession of land and pro-
vides for its distribution among the people.
II the only process by which ownership
could be acquired was production by labor
the State could give no title to land. But
the State takes possession Of land as i,
does to an extent Of water and as il would
of air and. sunshine if it could. In
the absence Of stronger claimant
the title is good. The State dis
tributes land among individuals and
individuals buy and sell of each other
The title of each will hold except against
the Maker of the land. In some places
land has little value because the surround
ing climate is such that men wills not live
there. In other places the climate is sc
desirable that a double price is paid fol
land. In our own State land that would
not be worth $50 an acre with Minnesots
climate is worth $1,000. The land itself
may not be better or more fertile, but the
climate permits the cultivation of more
valuable products. 1t seems, therefore
that If we cannot box the sunshine and
sell it in Minnesota, we actually sell sun
shine where we sell our land.

of Russia. The fact that the Emperor of
