WHEAT AND SILVER.
Minnesota Figures Prove That De-
mOnetizatiOn Has Not Injured
Farmers.

Farmers.
PHILADELPHIA April 9.-The Philadel-
phla Ledger, In It's issue today, prints the fol-
lowing editorial, which is of interest to Min
nesota:
"a significant contribution to the literature
OF the silver controversy is to be found in the
report of the chief of the Minnesota bureau
OF statistics OF labor. So far as the Minnesota
market is concerned, the figures negative the
theory that the demonetization of silver and
the crime Of 1873 have produced a fall in
the price of wheat, one of the persistent delu-
sicns of the Populistic agitators. The salient
feature OF the tables prepared by this official
is the fact that the gold value of a bushel Of
wheat from 1891 to 1894, inclusive was 621
cents in Minnesota, against 56.5 cents for the
period from 1852 to 1866 In New York, from
1867 to 1866, the gold value of wheat per bushel
was $1.15; from 1891 to 1894 it was S35 cents.
The difference between the price in Minnesota
and New York city from 1862 to 1866 was 5S5
cents, but for 1891 to 1894 the difference was
only 21.4 cents. The cheaper cost of transpor-
tatlon across the country, owing to the tre-
mendous competition of the railways accounts
for the lessening margin between wheat prices
In Minnesota and the seaboard. The same re-
mark applies to ocean transportation From
1867 to 1870, wheat was $1.10 higher in Lon
don than it was In Minnesota and for the
period from 1887 to 1890 it was only two cents
higher in London. The price of wheat has
thus sensibly declined in New York and Lon
don, but the decline is not traceable to silver
legislation. 1t is attributable rather to lower
freights and the opening of new wheat fields
in various portions Of the country. The in
crease in the carrying power of the nation
generally is a mighty factor in determining
the causes of the fall in the prices of COM
medities."

BURLINGTON ANNUAL.
President Perkins Objects to Arbi-
trary Rate Regulation by Law.

trary Rate Regulation by Law,
CHICAGO, April 9.-The annual report of
the burlington was made today. While the
directors declared and paid dividends Of 4
rer cent on the capital stock, the report shows
that the surplus had to be drawn upon to the
extent of $722,550 to meet 1t. This, however.
was reduced by dividend Of the Hannibal e.
st. Joe road paid out of cash on hand. This
dividend amounted to $3.50 1888, making the
deficit for the year $232, 1862. The total freight
earnings for the year were SIG, 135, 165; the to-
tai passenger earnings were s., $50, 1888. an in
crease Of $6O,o15; the net earnings were S., 1885,
bog, decrease of $219, ,413.
In presenting the annual report President
Perkins says: Railroads must necessarily
take the risk of crop failures and business
depression, and 1t Is both unjust and unwise
10 load them down in addition with excessive
taxation and arbitrary rate regulation while
the price Of the things they buy and the
wages they pay are left to- the natural law of
supply and demand. 1t Is quite as desirable
that railroads should be successful as II Is
that business of any kind should succeed. and
1t is great mistake to suppose that statutes
which add to the hazard and abstract from
the profits of great branch Of business like
that Of transportation can benefit the COM
munity at large" III

PARTY RATE QUESTION
To Be Considered by Western Pas
senger Men Today.

special meeting of the passenger men Of
the western roads has been called for today
In Chicago, and several ST. Paul men left last
night to be present and take part in the de-
hperations. The principal subject is that of
the party rate about which there has been
SO much done and much more printed. The
intention, as nearly as it can be understood
is to unravel the snarl developed by the ap-
plicatfon of the supreme courts decision in
the Brown case.
1t appears that none of the roads are in ia
Vor Of putting back in effect these rates. and
the stronger lines are much opposed to giving
the scalpers another chance to lay them open
to commerce commission prosecution, as it
has never yet been finally decided whether
the rates, even when quoted to the public, are
legal. 1t has been stated that the commerce
commission has never sanctioned them, and
there is now in the United States supreme
court case involving their legality. con-
servative st. Paul Passenger man said yes
terday that in his opinion the tickets should
not be placed on sale until the supreme court
has made ruling on the question.

WONDERLAND IS OUT.
1t Describes the Beauties Of the
Northern Pacific.

The Northern Pacific passenger department
yesterday issued the 96 edition Of Wonder
land. In appearance it Ia very attractive.
It's first chapter is an account of the trans
continental train, its weight, length. history
Of its management, etc. The Yellowstone
Park chapter brings to the tourists notice
many features not usually seen. 1t makes
strong plea for the sightseer to this wonder
land to spend more time than the schedule
trip allows, in the park.
The chapter of hunting the Rocky Mountain
goat will excite a desire in the breast of the
hardy sportsman to thread the defles of the
Bitter Root range even at the risk of his
neck, as Mr.. Wheeler did. The chapters on
the country in general and Alaska, will re-
pay reading, especially the one on the Red
river valley. The illustrations are unusually
good and in keeping with the reputation Of
these books.

each other to gain advantage, but through
out the evening neither one was able to pick
up lap. Towards the close the finish was
most exciting. For four laps Miss Baldwin
