terdsy the bankers who united to pur-
chase the whole so million issue Of the
new government bonds, sold millions
Of them at 1l9H They had previously
sold millions at ll9 and have but 2
millions more to offer at ll9K What
price they will ask for the rsst Of them
has not been Rnr ounctd II they sue
caed in selling the whole issue at 1l9 to

lars clear pr, fis on the transaction.
Il seems that the great number Of
bids sent to the secretary of the treasury
for bonds were not due to any patriotic
impulse, after ell, but that there was
real anxiety on the part OF good many
individuals and corporations TO get the
bonds ia exchange for gold. This after
competition for these bonds makes very
ridiculous the pretentions Of many Wall
street people that there was danger Of
the bond issue being q failure. Il 10
very doubtful whether there was ever
the slightest reason for even the sug.
gestion Of failure.
In view OF the sudden advance In the
bonds 1t becomes worth while to in
quirs whether or not there was some se-
cret manipulation Of the market In
order to alarm the treasury department.
When 1t was announced that q bond
issue would DO made, the price Of the Sc

rs WHAT THE SECRETARY OF AG-
RIOULTURE THINKS ABOUT
LEAST,
But he Knows What Kind Of Currency
Suits Him and the Wall Street
Farmers Best.

WASHINGTON, Nov 3O-In his annual
report, just issued, s sCrstsry OF AgriCul.
tursl Morton makes some remarkable,
not to say foolish, suggestions.
Competition Of Russia, Argentine, Aus
trslis and other countries favored by
conditions which enable them to grow
wheat at a low cost, the secretary do.
ClRres, warns American farmers to no
longer depend upon wheat IS a staple
export crop. On the other hand, good
market, at fair prices, 10 to be found in
the United Kingdom for barley and CORN
owing to the great variety OF uses to
which 1t may be applied, promises to be
in constant aud increasing demand.
The secretary reports the inception Of
two important scientific Investigations,
the fret relating TO grasses and forage
plants, the other to agricultural soils and
crop production. The secretary believes
the Importance OF these Investigations
iustif9s the creation Of each into one in
dependent division, and he has so pro-
vided in the appropriations for the en-
suing fiscal year.
Toe good work Of the weather bureau
10 commented upon. OF the bureau OF
animal industry he argues that owners
Of inspected meats should pay for sucb
inspection, as they eDjoy the benefits Of
it, He declares that for more than two
years there has been no pleuro pnsu-
monis or other contagious cattle diseases
in this country and holds that Great
Britain should modify it's cattle laws Rc-
CordiDgly.
The Russian thistle is made the text
for q suggestion that seeds Of new
grasses and other plants from abroad
must be hereafter very carefully in
spected.
The report concludes with q statement
showing that OF the total exports Of this
country for 1894 (ascal Year, farm pro.
ducts aggregated 628 million dollars, or
70 So per cent. OF the whole. The mar
ksts Of the world, he says, demand from
the American farmer the very best quail
ity of breRdstuffs and materials. Toe
farmer exchanges his products, the re.
suits of his lsbors. which have specific
purchasing power, for money having q
general purchasing power.

Are Some Of the Wants Of the Transmits
aiSsippi Commercial Congress, Lately
Assembled in St. Louis.

The TransmlssisAippi Commercial con-
gress held it's annual session In ST.
Louis beginning November 26 and CON-
tinuing four days. The main object OF
the association Is to discuss and pro,
mote legislation in the interest Of the
Western peope. Among the important
subjects discussed at this session were
the currency question, irrigation, Pacific
railroad foreclosure, and bounty TO
farmers on exported agricultural pro-
ducts.
The bounty proposition was in the
form Of q minority report from the com.
mitlee on resolutions, the majority hAV-
ing voted to refuse to place such a
recommendation in the report to DO
made by it. Dele gate LuDin Of Cali.
fornia, in brief address, urged that the
farmers, not from protection or free
trade standpoint, were entitled to gov
ernment aid Rs q matter Of justice go
long az manufacturers were aided. This
aid by virtue OF agricultural products
being of an export, not an import char
aeler, the only mOthod OF aid was by
bounty on exports. Delegate Frank j.
Cannon Of Ulsb, for the me jority Of Ghe
resolution committee, opened the oppo-
sition, declaring his belief that such a
proposition could only agRrsVsts the ills
Of the farmers and only increase the re-
Bponsibilities Of the government; that it
was imprRcticRble IN that no such bounty
could be made equally just to all
farmers, not questioning the assertion
that the bounty would ultimately reach
the farmer. He opposed it also because
il was class legislation. Wilson, Of South
Dakota also opposed the proposition
from a similar standpoint as did also
Delegate w. j. Bryan Of Nebraska who
further argued that the suit sct was not
one Of general discussion in the Trans
mississippi section, or in any consider
able degree anywhere, and therefore was
not sufficiently diRested by the people to
warrant action by the congress upon it.
Several features Of the irrigation ques-
ton we're discussed. One paper was on
''Ths Water Supply OF the Rocky Noun
tain Region" by F. H. Neuell, Of the
United States geological survey. The
paper was q general review OF the sub
ject presenting more especially the fact
that area Of lightest rainfall Ia colnci'
dsnt with the lands SSH held in govern.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, DECEMBER 5, 1894

state engineer Of Wyoming, next read
paper upon Reclamation Of Arid
Lands" discussing more especially the
lack Of concert of action between the
authorities in the control Of the water
and those in control Of the land. "Irri-
cation q Living National ISSUE" was
the subject of paper by Editor W. z.
Smythe Of the Irrigation Age. The
tenor OF his remarks was that no issue,
DO it irrigation or otherwise which Of
fects ever so small portion Of the coun-
try can, il it tends to the good Of that
portion, be local issue.
Toe currency question oVershSdowed
ell others and it was apparent from the
beginning Of the session that large
mel >rity Of the 400 delegates were strong
advocates of free coin0ge: Ex Gov.
srnor Anthony disgrsced Kansas with
his usual opposition to "6at money"
and the minority report Of the Eesolu-
tion committee showed that the man
who wanted "parity" and the cooper
alton Of other nations" aud who "depre-
Gated a dsbased currency" was still
alive.
The currency resolutions adopted
were as follows:
Resolved-First. That in direct oppOsi-
tion to the plan known as the Baltimore
plan, the sense Of this convention is that all
issues Of paper money should be by the gen.
srRl government.
Rssolved-Seoond. That il is the sense
Of this convention that the pending pFopo-
sition for the reformation of our paper our
PencY is one that, in our judgment. would
create additional and perhaps insurmOunt-
able difficulties TO the return of bimetal-
lism, and that we are opposed to the same.
Resolved Third. That in any currency
reform acted upon we demand that con-
Ssituent part thereof shall be the remOneti-
Eation Of silver, or that it shall be Of such
q character as to be no impedimeut to our
return 10 bimetallism, ss ID existed prior to
1873.
WHBREAs, An spprecisting money stand
ard impairs all contracts, bankrupts enter
PRISE, makes idle money profitable by in
o-easlDg its purchasing power and suspends
productive forces of our people; and
WH1RRAs, The spoliation consequent upon
the outlswry of silver in the interest Of the
creditor class, by constantly increasing the
value Of gold, is undermining all indus
trial society, therefore, we demand the inn
mediate restoration Of the free and un-
limited Coinsge Of gold and silver at the
present ratio Of 16 to 1, without waiting for
the aid or consent of any other nation on
earth.
O.her resolutions are profuse in their
demands and declarations. They favor
the construction Of the Nicaragua CO.
nal, the appointment Of commission to
investigate the wants and needs Of
Alaska, an appropriation for the Hsnne-
pin canal, appropriations for deep water
on the Texas and California coasts.
They also favor the ceision Of the
