Pop0cracy Buried in Vermont.

The news from the good state of Yer

and a debauched supreme court. The
returns thus far received show con-
clusively that the voters of Vermont
were determined to bury Popocracy
and have done it so far as that state is
concerned, while the influence exerted
by the tremendous and unprecedented
majority upon the country at large will
be powerful indeed. 1t was expected
that Vermont would give good ma
jority but nothing like what is now in
Dictated by the returns already received.
In 1892 the Republican plurality for
Governor was but 1902.
The victory this year is especially
significant because Vermont is chiefly
farmers that the silver advocates di-
rect their strongest appeals. The tar
if was also q prominent factor. The
personal popularity of the candidates
does not appear to enter into it, Ger
tainly the Democratic candidate was
personally as popular as the Republi-
can candidate, but it is very evident
that neither his personal qualities nol
the Democratic title under which h,
masquerade served to give him
party vote Moreover, it appears from
the large vote cast that many sounC
money Democrats voted the straigh
Republican ticket instead of staying a
home.

A Campaign Slogan.


EIxPrcSident Benjamin Harrison can
talk as straight as his grandfather shot
at the battle of Tippecanoe. Whenever
he stands up before an audience he
knows what to say, and says it, cutting
cross lots if necessary. His remarks
are incisive. They cut their way
through the clouds and fogs Of verbi-
age with which economic questions are
too generally obscured, ana clear the
atmosphere as does a thunderclap.
When the general speaks we are not
left in doubt as to his meaning. We
not only hear, but see. Even the blind
see when he has spoken. His address
of Thursday night last was chock full
Of wit and wisdom, ana he did not
strain after allegofiCal effects. The
very best of all the good things that he
said was this:
The prospect of Republican success
never did disturb business.
In those few words there is a whole
political speech. covering all questions.
Take the statement home. Think of ii.
Sleep on it. Consider its antithesis:
The prospect of Democratic success
always did disturb business
Paint on your walls these words SO
full of truth and meaning, Inserbe
them on your banners! They would
make a victorious slogan

WHY MIlEAT Is LOW.

As n matter of fact there is no neces-
sty for any search for hidden influences
responsible for the present low prices OF
wheat The truth stands out clearly.
We grow more wheat than We can our
selves use. 1t must be sold in the world $
markets. The worlds market for wheat
nation strives TO feed itself ana most OF
them succeed. The market for wheat
is almost entirely in Western Europe,
Great Britain and Holland drawing the
larger part of their supply from abroad.
and France, Germany, Italy, Belgium
ana few other smaller countries buying
Zach year a small fraction of their con-
sumption. the amount varying as their
crops are good or bad.
To supply this limited demand four
countries are in competition as wheat
growers. the United states Russia. In
dia and Argentine. There are few 9TH
ers like Chilli Australia and Canada that
furnish Il small amount but there con
tributions cut little figure. The struggle
tmong the four great producers for the
privilege of furnishing cheap bread to
European artisans has reduced the price
Of wheat to the present figures, and untii
one or more than one OF them gives up
the contest prices must rule low. Back
Of this man cause Is the further fact
1 hat in the past twenty years the cost of
sroWiEe and handling wheat has been
much reduced. so that smaller selling
value may represent as great "a profit as
WAS secured when prices and cost Of pro-
,luction were each higher
ON account OF the lack OF uniformity

OF the worlds wheat crop IL Is not pos
eible to determine accurately just how
much production has increased in the
past twenty-five years. Neither is it nee
,'SSary. as the commercial value Is deter
mined by the commercial supply. ana
this commercial supply is practically the
amount exported by the four great pro-
iucers.

Tariff Facts They Don't Allude To.

The fears of Bryan's managers that
he would talk too much were not with
out cause, except on the subject of the
tariff. That he positively refuses to
talk about although four years ago it
was the cause of all cur troubles, he
told us, and it has never been properly
mended or changed at least according
to President Cleveland's idea of it.
Some Of the Bryanites do. however, in

just little on the matter They
