The Thanksgiving season is at
hand, and Uncle Sam is preparing
to take fall out of turkey, but it
would be more to his satisfaction
if he could get IA whack at the

detrimpnt to mankind. On the
other hand, the Saint Paul 4 Du-
luth is Il benefit to mankind, and
especially to the travelling public,
because of its service and its facil-
tiles. These have made it the pop
ular route at all seasonsof the year
between st. Paul. Minneapolis,

of interest and Importance. The
Duluth Short Line, as it is general

American Wheat for India.

A dispatch from San Francisco,
October 10, says: The chief topic
among San Francisco brokers for
several days has been the ship
ment of California wheat to India.
It is as unusual an occ urrence as
shipping coal to Newcastle for
California to he sending wheat to
one Of the greatest grain produc-
ing countries in the world, but
this year the drouth has complete
Iy ruined the crop. The great
north west province, which pro-
duces three-quarters of the grain
Of India, has had no rain, aud it
will be necessary to import seed
wheat for next season crop. The
parched condition of the great
wheat fields is said to be terrible,
and famine is threatened in several
districts. 1t was known months
ago that the Indian wheat crop
was very short, but no one sup
posed the deficiency was as great
as recent advices show. Private
advices from Calcutta say that the
growing crop is in bad way, and
that in the Punjab next March not
over half crop will be harvested.
Two steamers now Oh the way
here from Japan have beer charter
ed to carry grain to Calcutta and
Bombay. These steamers will
carry i'll the aggregate between 10,
900 and IL 900 tons, and it is ex-
pected that both will arrive in a
short time, load and get away In
time to land their cargoes In India
bv the middle of December. AS
the Indian harvest season is IN
March, and this wheat will land
there more than two months be-
fore any new wheat will be avail
able, it is highly probable that
other cargoes will find market in
the same direction. The last crop
year in Australia was partial
failure and the colonies had to look
to California for their bread sup
plies, and now comes India, an
other great wheat producing
country, seeking Farmers Re-
view.

A statement issued by the agri-
cultural department shows that
the total commerce of the United
States, including imports and ex-
ports, for the ten years ended June
80 last was $40, O13, 2O5, 1888, or
/, early average Of m ore than 81 900
100000. Compared with the ann
ual average Of this ten-year period
the statement says the figures for
1896 show an upward tendency,
not quite so marked as the gain OF
1895, but sufficient to warrent the
hope that unless some new dis
tributing factor arises the COM
merc1al depression of 1894 '95 is a
thing of the past. and our COM
merce, the measure of general pros
perity, will resume its former d.
mensions.-Farmers Review.

| am much encouraged by the ont

me that the people of the state are
awakened to the necessity for
doing something that will relieve
them of at least some part of the
burdens which have been saddled
upon them.
[ have been we'll received where

people anxioua inquirers and ready

trammeled upon by old political
prejudices and party traditions.
They are earnestly seeking for
light and information on living
issues, and are determined to vote
intelligently and honestly as they
think will he for the good Of the
country and the people.
The A merlcan people are patriot
ic, and they are likewise intelli-
gent. 1t is ridiculous for any
body to say that any great por-
ton of the people want to take
any political action that will be
injurious to the country, or un-
patriotic. They believe in liberty;
and they will vote for it, as they
understand It. Our present ballot
laws give them the opportunity to
cast their votes according to their

the CONCLUSION which | have

product Of a desire to have that

We have a large majority to
overcome, if we take the results
