Even IN the two years mentioned it was
about one-half done at this season of

which nroduced last year between eighty
and ninety millions OF bushels of hard
spring wheat, not to exceed 10 per cent
OF the total blowing area has been sown.
Almost constant rains in this territory
for the past thirty days have precluded
the possibility of completing the wheat
sowing even under the most favorable
circumstances until about May 20.
Taking these facts into consideration.
which any one eonversant with the sit
uation would concede to be correct, il is
plainly evident that the REQ River.vallev

OF the last season could hardly be ex-

reasonable to conclude that the produc.

season in Minnesota and the Dakotas
will not exceed to any extent the nat
ural demand OF Northwestern millers,
and that the quantity left for export
will be comparatively limited.

THE following is decidedly a prema.
ture guess on the part of some one, dear
reader, who knows no more about it
than you do:
The following is president" McKin-
ley's cabinet, the information coming
from the INSIDE:
Secretary OF State-John Sherman, Of
Ohio.
Secretary OF the Treasnry-M.A. Han.
ma, OF Ohio.
Secretary OF War-H. Clay Evans, OF
Tennessee.
Attorney General-Horace Porter, Of
New York.
Secretary of the Navy-M H DeYoung.
of California.
Postmaster General-Gilbert A Ho-
bart, of New Jersey.
Secretary of the Interior-W r Mer.
riam, of Minnesota.
Secretary OF Agriculture-John W
Gowdy, of Indiana.
1t is pretty evident that the Mckinley
people are banking on Reed for the sec.
and place on the ticket. In case he does
not accept it, it is altogether probable
that he will be in line for secretary OF
state, and in that event Sherman will
be given the treasury portforlio.

PROF. WEST ON MONEY.

+ II
Prof. Willis M. West OF the State uni
versity is profound student in sociol-
ogy and political economy in general.
He will be remembered by our citizens
as he who delivered course Of de-
lightful lectures in this city two years
ago. On Saturday evening last he lect-
ured before the sound money democracy
Of Minneapolis, and among the many
good things he said was the following:
The fight which he said was on at
present was fight between gold and
silver, and no shadowy bimetallism
would be permitted to fog the Issue.
Personally he believed that an interna-
tional bimetallic standard would be
best, but for the present he was for the
maintenance of the present standard.
He said the verdict of history was over
whelmingly against all attempts to get
ruin. As for the man who took the
middle course and called himself bine-
tallist, West said, he was either man
who Gid not know what he believed, or
he wanted to cloak his position. For
his part he would like to see both the
Republican and Democratic parties de-
clare against the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1, because he be-
lieved that would drive out those, in
either party who believed in the hereti-
cal doctrines OF cheap money, and it
would do more than ANYTHING else to
restore confidence He made the point
that the rapid increase IN the produc-
tion of gold would do great deal to
restore the equilibrium which the silver
men so eagerly desire.

THE Newport, Or. H. Herald, among
the ablest and most conservative of the
eastern papers on all topics of sociology
its editor beings hard student, OF wide
experience abroad and at home, and a
close observer, thus expledes generally
accepted fallacy:
The cry ofthe populist is that the poor
are becoming poorer and the rich richer.
The cry is socialist fallacy. TIE fact is
the distribution of wealth is more ese
and general now than eyer before. Great
fortunes have it. is true been made bv
many, but that does not mean an in.
crease OF poverty with the sober, indus
trial classes. Take Massachusetts,. Sta
tistics show that the average wealth OF
the average rich man in 1880 was far
greater thanh 1890. The average valu-
alton of small estates is far higher than
eyer before, the difference being from
$2,6O4 in 1880 to $4,9S2 in 1890. Be-
tween 1880 and 1890 the small estates
gained $19,OOO,OOO, while the great
estates gained only $1.O0O,OOO. Their
average was reduced during that decade
from $19S. 900 to $166,OOO. A redistri-
bus,on of wealth is continually going on
to the betterment of the industrious
poor, in Massachusetts;-and if in Mas
sachusetts why not in the most OF the
other states?

expressed for speedy recovery.
Sherman favorably reported several

objected and the biile went over.
The pension appropriation bill passed
without division as 1t came from the
House. 1t carries Sal 1875, $50.
Vest (Mis3Outi) called The DlHgley
bill for Inc purpose OF making rtmark,.
He said he appreciated he was talking
OF dead Issue and would not allude to
1t, II many we'll meaning people were
not urging Congress to act upon this
measure. He regarded the Dlngley
bill 30 one of the mott remarkable
pieces OF legislation.
Nest spoke vehemently against the
protective theory and declared that
Me inIey's election had not brought
prosperity. He asserted the election
was q parody ON free Installations. He
hoped to see an investigation, for he
sbared the belief expressed by SsDstor
Chandler That the circumstances Lead
Ing up to the st. L1uis convention

declared prosperity never would come
with the addition OF tariff taxes, and
greater volume OF money was the only
Keller.
Vest paid strong tribute to William
J. Bryan and pointed out that six
million votes were cast for HIM.
AT the close Of the speech sharp
tariff debate occurred between Vest,
