Says the Boston Cultiyator: "rTbere
was reduction of seven per cent. in
tho acreage of winter wheat sown last
fall in this country. That was due
mainly to the low prices of wheat at
that time, though these prices were
from twelve to fifteen cents bushcl
higher than wheat prices now. What
viii naturally be the result if wheat
continues at present prices until the
time for seeding the spring crop in
the great Northwest? At present
prices for wheat, almost any other
grain yields larger returns. Land
which will produce good spring whcat

and barley, either one of which j.

There will also be a large substitution
of corn and potatoes for wheat. ,Cboso
causes will tend materially to reduce
this years wheat crop, unless there "a
very material advance in whe,t
prices before spring seeding time"

HOW TO RESTORE PROSPERITY.

In order TO restore prosperity It re-
mains TO carry out the logical results
OF the defeat OF the WILD men last Tues
day. The wild men were those who
wished TO upset every established prin-
ciple of finance and to put in practice in
this country some new way OF paying old
debts.
These people are not in the majority
Of voters. but there have been enough
OF them. squealing like pigs under
gate. 10 alarm cautious investors at
home and absolutely to strike panic
into the minds OF the foreigners who had
put their money as they supposed
among civilized end sensible people
The mouths OF most Of the squealere nave
been hushed. and only few are iet'. VINO
can DO no more than make faces al '''
overwhelming majority Of sound money
representatives in Congress.
While IT has been an outrage upon the
reputation and good name Of the
Democratic party that inc "ee
silver hcresy should have iouhu
its main support from It's ranks yet we
happily have as the leading Democrat
OF the land man who Is thoroughly
sound on the question, and TO MN all
men OF all parties can look with conh-
dence that he will leave no stone I'M
turned to re-establish throughout the
world the high credit to which this
country is justly entitled. He should
take such action as will let the nations
Of the world know that we will have
none but the best money and that the
investor who puts his money in America
will be paid back what he lends, accord
ing TO the spirit and intent Of the loan
and that gold is the standard OF value
Of this country. and that this action Is
the logical result of the recent defeat OF
the silveTites.
Business came almost TO a stand
still over a year ago. and has but par
TALLY revived, because men could make
no safe calculations with two such pro-
diglous elements of doubt hanging over
them as a reformation Of the tariff and
the silver dollar.
Both uncertainties have now become
certaintics The tariff was settled before
Congress adjourned. and the silver
dollar has been settled by the election
week ago. Now let the world at large
see that the national credit will be
substantially sustained and men viii take
heart and begin work again.
While the spirit Of enforced economy
prevails, while wOrkmen are out OF
work, capital idle, nobody making any
thing there can be no activity in trade
or manufacturing. But let all feel at
once that the course Of sound finance
Will be resolutely pursued now, that
the disturbance from tariff legislation
has been removed, and all will 20 to
work, The workman will get wages and
have something to spend. the capitalist
will get his interest and dividends. and
he in turn will have something 10 spend.
Each will become d creator and con-
sumner of products. and what we call
prosperity will beam upon Us. And all
this will come from the establishment
beyond doubt Of our national credit.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT Us.

Mr.. Edwin A. Leech. late Director OF
the United States Mint, writes a letter
10 the New York Evening Post. from
which we make the following extract:
after an experience of twenty-five
years in the public service at Washington,
during which my acquaintance with pub
lie men and their views on money sub
iccts was very extensive, l nave no hesi-
tation in saying that representative Re-
publican men, as rule, are SOUND on
money subjects, while the large majority
of Democratic representatives, are
thoroughly unsound, | say TINS without
any partisanship. II arises largely from
the fact that the bulk Of the representa-
tive Republicans are from northern ana
western States, while the large prepon-
derance Of representative Democrats are
from the South and Southwest, where
all sorts Of wild currency theories pre-
vail TO such an extent that the minds or
even the brightest representatives from
those sections have become tangled and
uncertain on money subjects. Leaving
out the representatives. from the silver
producing states, who are, without eN-
ception, in favor OF legislation favorable
TO silver IL may safely be asserted that
fully nne-tenths of the Republicans in
the next House of Representatives.. will
be men of as sound views on moneYosub-
jects as the average New York busine IS
man. The result win be that there will
few years al least, and this fruitful
source Of business disturbance will not
exist"
Pudet haec opprobra nobis ct dici
potuisse. ct non potuisse repeiii. Shame
it is. in the language of the Roman clas-
sic. that these scandalous things should
be said about us. and that We should
be unable 10 repel them.
