ROCKPORT, Ind, Aug. Ex-senator David
Turpie addressed about three hundred people
in the courthouse yard this afternoon. His
speech consisted of the threadbare asser-
tons that the gold STANDARD was the cause
of low prices. that the continuance of the
present standard would pauperize the peo-
pie and he wound up by saying that the
value of any money was determined by
law alone. He said that the gold dollar
is worth its face because of Il law to
that effect and that silver would imme-
diately command S1.29 per ounce If free
coinage were secured.

indication Of sustained crop prospects.
This general average covers all kinds of
apples, early and late. in all sections of
the country. commercially important or
unimportant as producers. and the State
percentages must be used TO determine the
outlook for particular commercial supplies.
Peaches-Present returns show generally
reduced condition. OF the commercial
States the best prospects still are found in
Delaware Michigan, Ohio and Maryland.
while in New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia and
California percentages indicate less than
half a crop. In Delaware the early crop
was early ruined by curculio and ''yel-
W and fruit on the trees Is badly stung
there and in Maryland. though a fine
product Is expected from the mountain
orchards of the latter State. In Michigan
and Ohio excellent crops are indicated.
Grapes-Tne condition of grapes is gen.
orally high. Some complaints are made of
rot. due to excessively moist season., but
seemingly not extensive enough to much
affect the general condition.

In 1894, with only trifie over ,900,- 900 acres under wheat, England produced 7,300,000 quarters at home, importing l6, BIC, 900 quarters of wheat grain, be- sides l9, ,13O, 900 cwt of four-that is 10 say, total of 21 0oO, ,0D0 quarters, allow. ing for four. In 1894, then, three out of every four Englishmen lived wholly upon foreign bread. In 1885, owing to the tremendous reduction of the area under wheat, not one in every five drew his bread from the country. Our daily bread comes to us from abroad Bot this is not the only necessary which we import. Of food stuffs, which might conceivably he produced in the country, we purchase from the foreigner nearly half of our mea, nearly 16,500e worth of butter and margarine; (, ,070, 900 worth of fruit and hops; 5, ,400, ,000e worth of cheese; 3, ,7S0,. 000E worth of eggs; 1,OOO, ,0O0E worth of potatoes; 77s .O0OE worth of poultry; 1, 090, ,000E worth of vegetables. In addi- ton 10 these are the various kinds Of colonial produce of which sugar alone could be grown in Engiand. A small rise in each of these items would inflict innumersble hardships upon our working population. A great rise would mean starvation. Generations of peaceful de velopment have bred in us belief that England will never be seriously attacked and that the navy may with safety be starved. We forget fresh and even more importunste burden that the saie- guarding of our raw material and manu- fsctures has been laid upon 1t in the need to watch over our food supplies = Nineteenth Century.
