The Cause of Our Troubles.


Minneapolis Times: Why is wheat so
low? Because the price of wheat is made
in India. India is on silver basis and
as an ounce o. silver in India will buy
practically all that is bought before the
tall of the rupee, or before the disturb
ance, in exchange. including labor, India
makes the price of the world The fall
in Silver has stimulated Indian trade to
the loss of England, and this is what Mr.,
Balfour complained of in his speech,
from which The Times has quoted. West
ern farmers cannot compete with Indian
ryots, prices decline, mortgage indebted
ness cannot be paid and the general dis
tress among the people of the United
States is increased. Western debt not
going down as the price of agricultural
products have gone down, while Western
lands have gone down as the prices of
what those lands produce have declined.
1t is this reaction on the leading class
that is disturbing the cherished views of
English gold monometallsts. 1t will seep
into the minds of men after time that
decline in prices means trouble for credi-
tors as we'll as debtors. Even thick
headed and selfish Englishmen are begin
ming to see this. When they have fully
grasPed it. the chief obstacle to interna-
tlonal bimetallism will have been removed.

~ Cause of Smut.

A circular is: ued by State Commission.
er of Agriculture Laughlin says; Many
thousands of dollars are annually lost bv
the farmers of North Dakota by sowing
seed wheat infected with the spores of
sinking smut or bunt, and of the loose or
black smut These spores cling to the
seed in numbers, and under proper con-
ditions of temperature. moisture, etc, will
germinate and force their way into the
tissues of the young plant and give origin
to fungus tilaments of smut within, which
grow and develop with the plant and
penetrate a parts of the plant body.
This flamentous growth ramihes all parts
of the head, and produces. instead of
grain. smut masses or kernels, which re-
duce the yield and greatly damages the
milling qualities of the crop.

that wholesale houses. large and small,

man free trade to buy everything in their

The Poet Makes Many References to Beau
tiful Blossoms In His Works.
Tennyson speaks Of "a skin as clean
and white as privet when it flowers"
and truly the privet, with it's. prim
leaves and small, white flowers, looks
like a very Puritan for neatness and
simplicity. References to the flowers of
our gardens, Of course, abound, and
many will occur at once to the Tenny-
son reader. The rose and the lily play
more than commonplace part in

are interested spectators Of the drama.
Passages such as
A walk Of roses ran from door to door,
A walk Of lilies crossed it to the bower.
from the "Idylls," might have been
written by many others, and bell flow
ers, though we may be grateful to Ten
nyson for preserving the old fashioned
name Canterbury bells" =" are easily
paralleled from many poets. Perhaps
the beautiful line, Love, like an Alpine
harebell, hung with tears, deserves all
especial mention. He has written a
poem to the snowdrop, which is styled
February Fair Maid" and it forms a
fitting part of hispicture of ''st. Agnes
Eve," which, as W. e. Henley has
PORTED out, is 81 1iazzlingiy pure tn it's
whiteness and a bUntrast to Keats bril-
liantly colored poem on the same sub
ject.
OF the early spring, with it's violets,
primroses and crocuses, our poet is never
tired and has avowed his especial love
for April, being an Elizabethan in this,
as in many other things, so that it is
surprising to find comparatively little
mention Of the daffodil. It is hardly to
be found anywhere, except in MAUD"
and the "Sonnetlto the Nineteenth Gen.
tury," "Here in this roaming moon of
daffodil and crocus." Perchance Tenny-
son felt that it had been SO fully cele-
brated elsewhere to become hackneyed
in spite Of all its sbeauty.-Good Words.

free and easy way Of dropping down the
shafts at unexpected hours and making
himself agreeable One night he smelled
tobacco smoke in crosscut. Smiling
and paternal, the senator seated himself
on chunk Of ore and chatted with his
boys. "Dear me, u" he said presently,

He's been smokin."
A body of rich ore was struck in q
drift, and speculative reasons made it
necessary to hide the news from the
public for few days. The senator, in
his flannel shirt and oilskin hat, sat
down with the resting miners In the
drift, and picking piece Of rock from a
passing car remarked:
THAT'S pretty good stuff. Don't you
think SO. boys?''
There was a lnurmur Of respectful as.
sent from few.
"What do you think Of it, Johnson?'
Miner johnson, who was acquainted
with Fairs ways, examined the rock
critically, shook his head and said it
looked barren to him. Several others did
the same. Miner Murphy, a comparative
,tenderfoot, saw an opportunity to dis
tinguish himself. "That rock. sir, will
go all the way from $3.50 to $500 ton. 1"

ingly, you're miner, Murphy. You
