To BE Completed in Is9s-Its Enect
Upon the wheat Growers.


WAsHISaroS CRY. Aug. 23-United
States Consul General Jonas. at ST. Peters
burg. in a report 10 the department OF
state. points out that the early completion
of the Siberian railroad is likely to have a
depressing effect upon the prices OF grain
throughout the world.
The Siberian rail lroad will not only
carry wheat. -four and oil to China and
Japan, driving out American goods. bus
will open to settlement a vast area OF land
suitable for wheat growing. This is the
most serious menace that contronts the
American wheat grower. In his repor.
Consul Jonas says; AT the last meeting
of the Siberian Railway committee with
the economic section OF the imperial coun-
ell, which took place on May IS, the min
lister of finance submitted an important
memorial in reference 10 the Great Sibe-
rlan railway. According TO the imperial
decree OF December q. laa3. the Vest and
Central Siberian sections Of the line. as
far as the city OF Irkutsk. as we'll as the
Ussuri section from VlaJivostock 10 Graf
skaya and the connecting line between the
Ural and Siberian railways. were to De
connected in the year 1900. Last fall
1t became evident that the road
can be built as far as Irkutsk
by the year lS9S-that is, two years before
the time originally indicaied-and that
the OSSurl nne can De uulsned IN 1880.
The construction Of the line from Graf
skaya to khabarovSa has already been
approved. In view OF these facts IL was
resolved TO accelerate the construction of
the remaining portions Of the Great Sibe-
rian railway in the following manner:
First, the building of the 1ransbaikal line
is to be pushed, So that Il may be opened
for traffic in the year ls9s at the time of
the completion of the Central Siberian
section to Irkutsk and of the connecting
link from Irkut-k TO ListvenichnAya, on
Lake BAkal; second, the whole line along
the Amour RIVER is To tie finished before
the end OF the year 1901. The minister of
communication has been granted the nee
essary credit, amounting TO 1.2l50p0 rou-
bles, TO carry out the preliminary work Of
tracing the line from Irkutsk around Lake
Baikal, as well as in the Transbalkal re-
giou. and along the Amour river. and has
also been authorized to forward without
delay, part Of the material ordered for the
other sections OF the line. The above res
o!utions received the sanction of the EN-
peror on May 95. and the preliminary
work in the Transbaika! region has al
ready begun"

from internal revenue sources continue TO
be ahnormally large. with every prospect
of continuing 50 until the new tariff bill
goes into effect During the seven work
ing days from August Is. she receipts have
reached the unprecedented sum of $Ii.-

by next Saturday night at midnight, when
the new act Will become operative, the
aggregate receipts for the preceding ten
days will have reached $4,000. coo. These
large receipts under the circumstances are
deprecated by the treasury officials. The
reason for tAis is that the aid coming TO
the treasury this way IL only temporary as
best, and will add 10 the deficit later on.
On every gallon Of whisky now being with
drawn the government is bound sooner or
later to lose - cents.
As soon as the tariff bill goes inso opera

amount and SO continue some months

exhausted. These abnormal receipts have
swelled the cash balance of the treasury TO
nearly $l2f, ,000000. At the same time the
gold reserve is slowly increasing until it
has now reached about S54,00.000 This
increase is due almost entirely TO the
Western demand tor small notes with
which TO harvest the crops. Under the
terms Of the special circular issued by the
United States treasury in June last. small
notes are exchanged only Tor gold. aud
very substantial sums are now being re-
oeived daily from this source. The demand
for small notes has not yet set in from the
South. but the movement Of cotton now
beginning is expected TO bring in consid-
erable sums OF gold, SO that for the pres.
ent, at least. the enharrassments which
have threatened the treasury have passed

THE HAvEMEyER BILLS ERRORS.



WASHINGTON CRY. Aug. 22.-The legis-
lalive and engrossing clerks Of the senate
have been comparing the statement Of
errors in the new tariff bill as made in
various papers today. AMI say there are
only three errors that need 10 give the
officers of the treasury any concern.
These are the paragraphs relating to the
free admission OF alcohol in the arts. the
diamond schedule. and perhaps the omis-
sion of period in the paragraph relating
10 stamping foreign manufactures. Even
in the case Of diamonds. they believe the
construction placed wili be that intended
by congress, and they viii pay the duty
imposed on precious stones As to the
other errors enumerated, ii is claimed by
these clerks thar b. no system OF con-
struetlon can the alleged mistakes in
punctuation be made TO either impose
higher duties or alios the free admission
Of the articles named. Members Of the
finance committee are OF the same opinion.

American farmers should realize
that the enormous and very rapid ex-
tension of wheat raising in Argentine
is having a severely depressing effect
on the price of that cereal. For ex-
ample. one province alone-Santa Fe-
had 1,610,0 600 acres in wheat last year:
this year it has a crop of 4. $50, 900
acres. And the other provinces are
not far behind. The soil and climate
of Argentine Ire e~xcellently adapted
to wheat growing: labor is much
cheaper than in the United States.
Argentine competition has come to
stay. The days of dollar wheat are
gone by forever. American wheat
growers. like Our cotton planters. must
face the problem. and if possible find
a solution in more diversified agricul-
ture. All intelligent mes already see
that free silver will not help a case
like this. and are studying the prob
lem inthe light of the facts, not through
demagOgic theories.
