LOCAL. POLITICS..

AS election day draws nearer,
the outlook for a victory of the
fusion ticket, national, state and
county continues to grow brighter
and now the adversary is about
ready to give up the fight and
leave the field to the leaders of the
common people. It is possible,
however, that here, at home in
Cavalier county, that the natural
confidence, resulting from the big
majorities rolled up i'll past years
will lead the democrats to be
somewhat careless and overlook
the necessity Of this year increas-
ing the majority for our entire
ticket and by SO doing insure the
election of Cavalier county's nom
inee on the state ticket, II. D. AL
lert, our next state treasurer.
Our readers, of course, fully un-
erstand that the extensive cam
paign it has been necessary for
Mr.. ALERT to make has made it
impossible for him to look person
ally after the canvass here at home.
Let every voter of Cavalier county
feel it his bounden duty to and in
sending our local nominee to the
state treasurers office at Bismarck
by casting IL vote for H. D. ALERT
on November 3rd.

WHY W'HEAT.ADT.A.NCED.

Til" price of wheat is an argument
which the popocra;s have not yet an-
swered.-Fargo Argus
The recent advance in the price
of wheat is due to the rise in the
gold value Of the paper dollar in
Buenos Ayres. Wheat, unlike
most other commodities, has been
subject to a double fall in price in
recent years, one fall caused by the
altered value of silver, as measured
i'll gold, the other fall in value pro-
ceedlng from the still greater de-
probation of the Argentine paper
dollar as measured in gold.
From 1885 to 1890 wheat sold
for about one dollar bushel, and
had reached the limit of its fell so
far as silver could affect it. Then
came the Barring collapse, which
disorganized finances i'll the Ar
gentine Republic and sent their
paper dollar down to Is cents gold.
If the Argentine paper dollar ad
only fallen to so cents, gold, it
would have been upon a par with
the Indian rupee, as measured in
gold, and wheat would not have
been affected.
But the fall to Is cents, gold,
further deprecated the price of
wheat, which fell to IS cents the
bushel. This enabled the Argen-
tine Republic to cut into the H.
dian wheat trade at lower prices.
In 1892 India exported 56,00O,-
600 bushels of wheat, and the
Argentine Republic exported 49,
O00,O 900 bushels. In 1894, owing
to thedepreciated Argentine paper
dollar, the two countries had re.
versed their portion, India export
ing only 100000, while the Ar.
gentine Republic exported IS, 0OO,-
600.
