It is said the President knew the CON

went off ducking. In that case he was

with having had in the field three months

We publish a communication on
the prices of grain as related to the
probable demand and supply, be-
cause it is the policy of the G l o b e
to give all sides a hearing on ques-
lions of public interest; and also be-
cause a portion of it is a fair sam
pie of a great many silly things that
are said about crop reports as cal
culated to affect markets. The crop
reports which are published are the
most reliable statements of the most
do the business. The figures pre-
tended to be given for the yield of
a farm near Yankton are so obvious
~ a miSprint that we let them stand
as they appear in the communica-
ton; to show that the writer of it is
capable of pretending seriously that
somebody tells of yield of nearly!
900 bushels per acre. AS to the diff
ference between the wheat market
product of which we practically con-
troll the worlds supply and demand;
SO that the conditions of the market
can be known long in advance. There
are, therefore, no surprises, and
hence less likelihood of sudden
changes. Wheat is grown and wheat
bread eaten in all parts of the
world; and the problem of the final
relation Of supply and demand is
immensely more intricate and less
quickly determined. Knowing these
facts, let each farmer study his own
interest and sell at the time and for
the price that he thinks most to his
advantage. The more he can get.
the better.

spiracy and the Worship of the Gold

ton over 600 are present. In his OPEN
ing address Chairman G. w. Baker

in which he said that Nevada would
never support an anti-silver candidate
for president. After completing Or
ganization, the convention adjourned
until morning.
