II estimates count for anything wheat
will bring q good price this year, free
silver or no free silver, Mckinley or no
Mckinley. Aside from the long and
gradual depression OF the price caused
by the appreciation Of gold, the tempo
rary GAUGES Of local supply and demand,
have their effects also and this year 1t
will be in favor Of the farmer. 1t is q
calamity, resulting largely from the fact
that our financial system is controlled by
England, that less than three and a half
bushels Of wheat is consumed per capita
in the United States, while formerly it
used to be from five to six bushels pei
capita. But those who are able to buy
at all will now have to pay more FOL
even what they buy, il Expert NcDon.
AIDS estimates, on which our larges,
Chicago dealers depend, are anywhere
near right. He places the total yield il

THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The National Silver party in conven-
ton assembled hereby adopts the follow
ing declaration Of principles:
1. The paramount issue at this time
in the United States is indisputsbly the
money question. 1t is between the gold
standard, the gold bonds and bank our
reucy on one side, and the bimetal4ic
standard, no bonds and government cur
rency ON the other. On this issue we de-
clare ourselves to be in favor Of q dis
tinctively. American system. We are
unalterably opposed to the single gold
standard and demand immediate return
to the constitutional standard Of gold
and silver by restoration by this govern
ment, Independently Of any foreign pow
or, OF the unrestricted coinage of both
gold and silver into standard money a
the ratio Of 16 to l, and upon terms o
exact equality as they existed prior Il
1873, the silver coin 10 be full legal ten
der equally with gold for all debts an,
dues public and private, and we favo
such legislation az will prevent furthe
demonstration Of any kind Of legal ten
der money by private contract. w

Senator John Sherman in his Montana
speech last week said he would walk
home to Ohio on his knees if doing it
would restore silver to Sl.29. Mr..
Sherman herein comedies the contention
OF the free silverites besides showing
evidences of contrltion for his part in the
past in demonetizing silver. John
could at least add to his evidences Of
confession of sin aud genuine repentance
by now aiding to restore silver to that
beneficial position from which he
helped dethrone it.

The Sioux Falls Argus Leader says

The Sioux Falls Argus-Leader says:
British gold is now beginning to
come int, South Dakota to pay for the
wheat crop. The Minnehaha bank to-
day received orders for s4,lOO in two
mails, and the other banks are doing as
much. The next month will see q mil
lion dollar balance in trade in favor OF
South Dakota and all of it will be Brit
ish gold or money just as good"
Is the Argus-Leader sure it is not
American gold coming back the second,
third, fourth or fifth time to buy Dakota
wheat at fifty cents, take it to England
and sell it for 100 cents worth OF silver
with which to buy two bushels Of Indian
wheat to compete with the American
and keep prices down all around. John,
ny Bull has been working that racket on
US for a good many years and we keep
right on paying this 100 per cent premi
um for the single gold standard because
lit is civilized, you know"

hons. The average product is about 42o
to 45O million bushels. This shrinkage
il half which seems hardly possible will
leave none t. export and our home
prices ought to be governed entirely by
our home market. II people can buy at
all wheat ought 10 go up to rs cents and
ever more. II we have to rely on the
worlds market the prospect for much
higher prices to the farmer is still good.
The estimate for Russian wheat shows a
shortage of 100 millions alone, bat there
is said to be also a shortage Of 13G mil
lions of rye 10 that country. These con
ditions with our own shortage ought to
affect very materially the worlds market
price, so that by whatever market gov
erned, for a year or SO at least, wheat
ought to bring the farmer a good price.
II he could only get rid of the gold pre-
MUM be has to pay in exchange for his
products he would be truly happy and
prosperous indeed.

Northern Pacific Pamphlet ON the New
system of Soil Culture.

Northern Pacific Pamphlet ON the New
system of Soil Culture.
ST.. PAUL, Oct. General Manager
Kendrick of the Northern Pacific has
published a pamphlet devoted to a
description of the Campbell system of
soil culture, on which the Northern
Pacific has this season spent consider
able money III experiments RS Lisbon,
Jamestown, Pingree, Dawson and Glen
rllen with most gratifying results.
THE proofs of the success of this
METHOD" says Mr.. Kendrick, "were
such as to induce us to aid Mr.. Camp
bell, which we did. Our inquiries re-
suited so favorably that during the
spring of 1896 it vas determined to
make a practical test at various
points in North Dakota. The company
undertook to supply the special ma.
chinery required for the purpose in n
sideration of the prosecution by the
farmers of the method of cultivation
according to the directions given by MIR.
Campbell"
The Northern Pacific hopes by this
method to insure the regular prOduc.
ton of crops in the semi-arid district at
q benefit to the state of millions of dol
lars. The method consists In a complete
Encouragement and pulverizing of the
top seven or eight inches of soil, and
turning it as nearly bottom upward as
possible.

hold the power to control and regulate
paper currency is inseparable from the
power to coin money, and hence that al
currency intended to circulate as money
should be issued and it's volume con-
trolled by the general government only,
and it should be legal tender. We are
unsltersbly opposed to the issue by the
United States Of interest bearing bonds
in time Of peace, and We denounce as a
blunder worse than a crime the present
treasury policy, concurred in by the re-
publican house, Of plung,ng the country
in debt by hundreds of millions in a vain
attempt to maintain the gold standard
10y borrowing gold, and We demand the
payment of all coin obligations OF the
United States as provided by existing
laws in either gold or silver coin at the
option OF the government and not at the
option of the creditors.
2. That over and above all other ques-
tons Of policy, we are in favor of restor-
ing to the people OF the United States
the time. honored money Of the constitu-
tion-gold and silver, not one but both
the money OF Washington, Hamilton,
jefferson, Monroe, jackson and Lin
coin, to the end that the American peo-
pie may receive honest pay for honest
product, that the American debtor may
pay his just obligations in an honest
standard and not in a standard that has
appreciated 100 per cent above all the
great staples OF the country, and to the
end further that present silver standard
countries may be deprived of the unjust
advantage they o enjoy in the differ
ence in exchange between gold and sill,
ver-an advantage which tariff legisla-
ton alone cannot overcome.
We therefore confidently appeal to the
people of the United States to leave in
allegiance for the moment all other ques.
tions, however important and ever mo
mentous they may appear-to sunder il
need be all former party ties and afiilia'
tions, and unite in = supreme effort to
free themselves and their children from
the domination Of the money power-a
power more destructive than any which
has ever been fastened upon civilized
nan Of any race or in any & And
upon the corsummation Of our desires
and etforts We invoke the gracious favor
OF Divine Providence.

man can breathe his last, except among
collins and boxes of bones in Chinese char
nel-house. In some cases they are dumped
into these hideous chambers of peace" and
left to die unattended, except peep now and
then to see when life is extinct. If money is
paid to an attendant to provide Cruel for the
dying man it is safe to say that 1t goes
into the pocket OF the hardened rascal, who
spends little time with his charge. Is this
strange? What sensible human being would
laden atmosphere? And SO the poor wretches
groan and gasp out their miserable lives un-
attended and uncontrolled. But Chinaman
has his hopes. He has no haunting fears Of
the great unknown. Resignation is stamped
upon his face. There are good times ahead.
Already the fumes of roast pork and chicken
reach his nose, and soon his ghost shall feed
on the fat of the land. Neglected, and often
brutally treated while life is ebbing away,
his names will be worshlpped tomorrow.
Already the burial sacrihces, paper clothes and
money, are being got ready for poor Leong.
The Six Companies, with benevolence
which we occidentals do not appreciate, pro-
vide for these sacrifices. They cannot be ne
elected When the unfed ghost OF dead
Chinaman goes on the rampage he simply
raises Cain. Smallpox, fevers and all sorts of
calamities are brought about by unpro-
pitiated ghosts. So, after all, the dead pauper
caE be revenged in that sweet by-and-by when
he becomes god This is all very well for the
dead Chinaman, but meanwhile what can the
Board of Health do to protect us from pes
thence while these fetid charnel- houses are al
lowed to remain in the heart of the City?
