THE GOOD TIMES.

1t is really paralyzing to read the re-
ports of the daily papers as to the
good times which, it is alleged, shave
arrove." To be sure they consist prin-
cipally of reports Of the putting up of
prices of manufactured articles and
the putting down of the prices of farm
products. AS the trusts are all COM
bined it simply takes resolution,
passed in New York or Chicago back
Office, by half dozen gentlemen, to
put up the price Of the products, and
then the farmers and workingmen
have to pay so much more for them!
And this is good times" But, un-
fortunately, the farmers and working
men have no trust" and there are
too many of them, and they are too
poor, to put up their prices: and so
down they 60.
But the most marvellous piece Of
business is that in the face of this
boming newspaper prosperity, men and
women every day hang themselves, or
sally out and murder some one else.

want good times but we object to that

HIS NO. l WHEAT DOESN'T GRADE
WELL THIS YEAR.

WELL THIS YEAR.
Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 5.-Charges
emlnating from CrOOkStOn are to the
effect that there is a scheme on foot,
among the terminal eleva tors. to
skin" the farmer in the purchase of
the present wheat crop, and that a
combination has been formed for that
pupose. The claim is made that the
grade has been crowded down to an
alarming extent, and that wheat
which last year graded No. l
hard is this year graded No. 2 north
ern, at the terminals. The direct
charge is made that the state inspec-
tor at Duluth has dropped three
notches in the grades during the past
three weeks and there are some who
consider that the inspection is in the
hands Of the mbination. There is
no state inspector here, but the
deputy for the head Of the lakes says
that the rules governing the inspec-
ton are the same as prevailed last
year. There is nothing in the rules
touching smut, he says, but there is
more or less smuttY wheat coming in,
and although the kernel is plump and
bright and in all other respects good
enough to grade No. l, it must get a
lower grade if it contains particle of
smut.
1t is shocking to think that anyone
would charge the good honest eleva-
tor Ring with entering into a scheme
to "skin" the farmers! They never
did so and they never will! You can
not find an honester set of men in

with the manufacturers of the products
