General John NJ. Palmer, who is now
the presidential candidate of. the gold
Democrats on platform calling for a
gold standar I'd and the issueance of
paper money solely by the banks. 1t
was on March II, 1891, that Palmer

States by the Legislature of Illinois
through the votes of two Populist
members who held the balance of
power. The two votes were cast for
General Palmer after deadlock of
quence of an interview had with him
on March 10 by the two Populist mem
bers, Messrs Cockren and Moore.
The interview was published in the
Springfield, H., State Register at the
time and the chief portion of it was as
follows
Mr.. Coclrell-I would like you to
give us your views on the question of
money. Tell us how you stand in re-
gard to it, whether you favor the
abolition of the national bank circu-

PRICE OF WHEAT.

AHo dcIudl oul4lSn cOndlt1OnS that
exist in regard to wheat have been
diregarded by the men in the grain
centers who most largely influence the
prices Of this grain. A grain firm in
this city has issued circular giving
several reasons why it is believed
wheat will ultimately sell much high
er. Among the reasons given are:
l. Because the government esti'
mate of the crop of the United states
40 200, 900 bushels-is less than an
average one.
2 Because India, the Argentine Re.
public, Australia and Chilli, owing to
short crops are now our competitors
IN the worlds market; in fact Austria.
liza has been and is still BUYER OF
wheat on the Pacific coast.
3. Because Russia, our principal
competitor, according to the best au.
thoritieS, has short crop, which is far
below the average.
4. Because the amount of wheat
and flour afioat and in storage in the
United Kingdom and on the Continent,
IS less than year ago, and less than
for several preceding years
5. Because the demand for cash
wheat and flour for export is urgent
and is liable rather to increase rather
than diminish during the balance of
the season.
D Because we believe that the pres
ent prices represent a discount of Is to
20 per cent owing to the unsettled
financial condition.
.. Because we believe the continual
heavy export of our cereals, etc. will
keep the golden stream of gold flow.
ing this way, causing easier none tory
conditions, resulting in the revival of
home trade and industries.
S. Because we believe that all our
eXportatable products, excepting per-
haps, wheat and cotton, are selling
much below the cost of production, and
cannot decline enough more to have a
reactionary effect on wheat
Agriculture estimates the worlds weld
of wheat aud rye at 800, 900, 900 bush
els short of the yield of 1895; and we
believe the final revision will show il
to be 400. 900, 900 bushels short.
The farmers of this country, while
they do not rejoice in the adversitv of
other nations, would welcome con.
ditions that would enable them tc
market their products at reasonab bic
profit. There is little doubt that the
financial conspirators in London. with
the aid of their allies in Wall street.
have a great deal to do with the prices
at which American farmers are com.
PEELED TO- market their surplus pro
ducts. 1t is also pretty we'll esta blish.
ed that the Chicago option dealers are
part of a London commercial conspir.
acy that operats to depress the price
of American products in the interest OF
England, who depends on other ma.
ions for her food supply.
This nation is anxiously watching
for some sign of returning prosperity
that IS for raise in the price OF
farm products, for general prosperity
cannot exist while agriculture is de.
pressed Present conditions, however
are likely to continue as long as pluto
cracy and the grain gamblers IRE in
