A dispatch OF the 10Th inst, from
Aberdeen would indicate hat more of
this seasons crop Ct wheat had been
marketed in the %northeran than 10 the
Southern counties Of South Dakota.
One grain shipper said:
Il contend that 60 per cent OF all the
wheat grown IN this part Of the West
has been turned. into money by the pro-
ducers. Reserving, say - per cent for
seed and 3 per cent for home consu mp
ton, and figuring that 10 per cent is still
10 the stack and will not be. thrashed
until next spring or summer, only 10 per
cent ia available for marketing purposes
at this time" The firm OF McCaulI,
Webster & CO., on the other hand, figure
from their Sources Of Information that
only about 40 per cen: has been sold and
that n good strong 40 per cent yet re-
mains TO be handled. In some parts of
southern counties, they say, fully one.
third OF the grain is yet IL the stack.

NOT A PROTECTCRATE.

United States Assumes No Responsibility
in the Venezuela Dispute.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE suspi-
cion in some minds that the Venezuelan
settlement will not prove as satisfactory
as it now appears Is not warranted.
The fact of this government being
made a principal i'll the arbitration,
while Venezuela is not interested in
the commission, is not to be interpre-
ted as the establishment of a policy Of
protectorate by this country over the
smaller republics of this continent. The
first contention of Great Britain was
nized it would bar foreign governments
from one form of redress for grievances
for damages inflicted upon any of the
great powers by these small republics,
and that therefore this government
would have to stand surety for the
good conduct of the governments whom
we protect in their territory.
Mr.. Olney made it very clear that
this government would not accept this
reasoning and that we would confine
ourselves to n proposition, that no
foreign power should establish domin-
ion over territory on this continent.
The Corinto incident served as an OBJ
ject lesson to show where we draw the
line in the
Application Of the Monroe Doctrine,
the application of this doctrine leaving
it open to the powers to exact any form
of redress for damages save the one of
cession of territory. This was made
very clear before the agreement on
arbitration was reached and care was
taken by Mr.. Olney that action in this
case should not hereafter be interpreted
to mean that we assumed any response
bility for our sister republics. In view
of this fact the agreement of arbitra-
ton between Great Britain and the
United States is based entirely upon the
recognition of our right to enforce the
Monroe doctrine. This government Is
to be satisfied hat Great Britain is not
taking possession of territory by force
which does not belong to her, and II
this fact is established our part in the
contention will end. 1t will then make
no difference whether Venezuela is sat
isticd or not, nor will it matter what
steps England takes to enforce her
claims. On the other hand, if England
cannot make good her claims, Vene-
zuela will get the benefit of our inter.
ference in the matter.

Nearly three hundred mills and fifty
thousand operatives have been put to
work since the election. We hope no
obstacle will come up to prevent the
opening OF every mill in the United
States and the giving Of work to the en-
tire three millions OF idle workmen in
the country even at the cost OF the un-
just gold standard. 1t will help greatly
for a couple OF years at least, and in the
meantime the producer will get a little
good out Of it. May the improvement
60 on. One evidence Of prosperity,
standard friends is the rise in the price
of bonds, the biggest crop II the

Grant hns written as follows under
date OF New York. August 4:
My Dear Sir:-AcknOwlCdglng re-
| CGipt OF your communication OF August
|. In which you nsk nc rs to the truth
of u statement which Is. md has been
for years, going the rounds to the effect
that my father, General Grant, at one
time saying that he did not know when
he signed the coinage act OF 1873, that
tho silver dollar was dropped from the
coinage. md that II he had known he
fact. liz would have vetoed the bill, !
hasten. in reply, to say that frequent
~ talked with my father upon the
question OF standards Of currency and
that ! never heard him intimate any
such sentiment as Is credited to him
above. | am in receipt almost daily OF
letters similar to yours, inquirinE us TO
whether my father made the statement
attributed to him In the little book en-
titled " Colin"
| can only say that he ncvcrIntlmated
such Il statement to me. In nll his
conversations with me, he seemed to
take the ground that II was n great
misfortune for any country 10 have, as
the basis for their circulating medium,
any metal that had the least element
OF uncertainty about It. and that the
workman, when he collected his sti-
ponds at the end Of the week. should be.
absolutely certain that there would be
no question us TO the value OF the cur
rcnCy which he had 10 supply his needs.
From the time he was inaugurltcd
President until the resumption Of the
specie payment act was passed. all his
public announcements, and so far ~
know. all his private statements. were
aimed To secure Il stable currency to
the people OF the United States.
The coinage act Of 1873 does not elm
mate the silver dollar from Il coin
age. In fact the United States has
coined since then more silver dollars
than had been coined during the en-
tire period our national existence be-
fore. and most Of these coins were
made during his life time. II Is, there
fore. not probable that General Grant
ever said that he would have vetoed
the net OF 1879 II he had known that the
silver dollar was dropped from the coin
aEc, and | would not believe any one
who said hat he heard my fathcr make
such Il remark"
