Means Many DoIlnrs.

While our wheat production is very
large this year, our home consumption
is increasing with returning prosperity
and We will have to hold the major
part of it for our own people. 1t is es-
timated that we will have in the neigh
borhood of oOO.OOO,00O bushels for en-
port, which means not far from 2OO,-
100000 golden dollars to be distributed
among the farmers.

Bland a,l Tillman.

The Hon. Richard Parks Bland and
the Honorable Benjamin Pitchforll
Tillman are both before the country
with statements as to wheat and pros
perity. Neither sees any signs of ac-
tual prosperity anywhere in the land.
They admit that the farmers may get Il
few hundred million out of the rise in
wheat, with which prospect they really
express themselves as pleased, but the
whole business. they say, will not
amount to anything, and the prosperity
of which they hear murmurings will
soon collapse into nothing. Mr.. Till
man charactcrizcs the prosperity wave
as a "hot-balloon affair."" and Mr.. Bland
carefully analyses the situation in the
country and sees nothing hopeful in it.
Probably not. nothing hopeful in it-for
Richard Parks Bland.

The section as read, and as passed,
was submitted to every member Of
the Ways and Means and Finance
Committees by the friends Of Ameri-
can shipping. The clause was revised
by United States Senator Elkins of
West Virginia, and general informa-
tion on this subject was furnished to
the members of the committees to-
gether with n draft of the section by
the American Protective Tariff
League. There was nothing of q mys-
terious nature about the proposition;
nothing accidental. 1t was purely in
territorial, for the sole purpose of OK
tending the policy of protection to
American transportation interests both
by land and sea.

Death Rate in Model Dwellings.

The London Chronicle calls attention
to the remarkably low death rate in
many Of the model dwellings in that
city. In particular there is found in
the houses of the Metropolitan Associa-
ton for Improving Dwellings of the
Working Glasses, which is now in it's
1ifty-third year, n death rate of only
9.64 to 1000. The inmates of these
houses number 6,43O, and are housed
i'm fourteen blocks in different parts of
the city. This rate is only halt tho
rate for the whole of London.

That trusts are the outgrowth of
Democratic policies and maladminis-

Mr.. Roswell T.. Flower, Democratic ex-
Governor of the State Of New York,
coming to their defense. Mr.. Flower
has been, with tic Democratic eX-Pres-
ident Grover Cleveland, VIGOROUSLY in
terested in the Chicago Gas Trust. This
monopoly. together with the Standard
Oil Trust, the Ice Trust, the Bread
Trust. the Cigarette Trust, and the
Sugar Trust, aggregates a combination
of capital that has been fostered under

ances. for the sitting of competition,
the enhancement of prices and the OPP
preston of the poor.

Brief Comment.

Brief Comment.
A bushcl of wheat now calls for two
ounces OF fine silver. Last year one
ounce was more than sufficient.
.Adviccs from Mexico show that
statesmen there are urging steps look
ing to the adoption Of the gold stand
ard.
Mr.. Bryan should hurry up with his
Spanish lessons. If he doesn't hasten
his trip to Mexico, another "crime"
against silver is liable to be committed.
Over 100000 in British money
coming into San Francisco from Aus
tra!ia to pay for American wheat!
How is this for British gold-bug con-
troll?
The silence in the vicinity of the
Yellowstone Park, where Mr.. Bryan Is
neglccting to speak up about the rela-
tive values of wheat and silver, is
becoming painful.
If anybody croaks about the light
receipts in the first month of the Ding.
Icy law, remind him of the enormous
importations of the months which pre-
coded it's enactment.
"Comradc Mckinley was cordially
greeted by the old soldiers mt Buffalo.

Adviccs from abroad show that the
foreign rye crop is as badly off as the
wheat crop, and as rye is largely used
for bread in European countries, this
development indicates n still greater
demand for American wheat.
Will Orator Bryan address his Ohio
audience at the proposed free silver
camp meeting i'll Spanish! They ought
to have some sort of II novelty to make
it worth the $1,5O0 which it is said Me-
Lean and Chapman have been obliged
to guarantee to get him there.
With several shiploads of gold com.
ing in at the Western ports from Klon-
dixie, others from Australia, and many
more coming in at the East, in pay

blessed is the country whose SOL

commanded in all her history."-Presi-

High Prices for Corn.

And now there is prospect of higher
prices for corn. The Europeans are
taking u corn in great quantities, and
here is Statistician b. w. Snow of Chi
cago, one of the ablest experts on crops
in the country, with an estimate that
the orn crop of the country will be no
more than 1,SOO,OOO,OOO bushels this
year against 2,22S3, 100000 bushels last
year. This means higher prices for
corn. And yet silver continues to fall.

The members Of the school board had
a meeting Tuesday and decided that
stringent measures be adopted by the
principal to prevent spread of the
measles through attendance of pupils
exposed to infection. They decided
that pupils so exposed be prohibited
from attending school until 10 days after
such exposure has ceased. This is
wise movement on the part of the
board and should receive the CO.
operation of the patrons of the school.
If the city officials will enforce the
ordinance of assessing license tax
on all concers who try to do business
here ONLY during the berry season, we
opine there will be nothing to fear from
that gentry of fakirs. There can be no
good reason advanced why they should
not be taxed. Our own merchants
stay here during good as we'll as dull
seasons, paying taxes and salaries, why
should not those who come only when
money is plenty contribute something
toward the support of town and county.

Three more of the Confederate dime
books We're received for the monument
fund Saturday morning. Mrs. w. P.
w. P. Woolum and Dooly sent in Nos
a and 8. AT the present rate of growth
the ladies will soon be able to begin
active operations toward the erection of
this monument The ladies now have
in the bank $3.50 which they raised by
entertainments. The intention now is
to raise a fund of $1,000, this being the
lowest amount for which a suitable
monument can be purchased.
1t will only require few days of this
kind of weather to put Main street in
such a condition that it would bog an
English sparrow Venture.
Yet, when we suggested a way in
which Main street could be kept from
begging for a reasonable amount the
editor of The Venture got on his high
horse and stated nothing but paving
would do for town the size of Van
Buren,. We think he will see the error
of his ways before another season
passes.
Work has been in active progress for
some time past on what will prove to be
the largest berry farm in this section.
1t is the DR.. E. NJ. Brown farm situated
near Moore S switch on the Mo. Pacific
west of Lees Greek and is composed of
300 acres Of as fine berry land as can be
found in this section. The promoters
of the enterprise are Geo. R. Wood, l..
II. Southmayd. d. H. Miller, ]. L.
Rea, l. A. Campbell and Ed Miller
They have leased the land for a
number of years and have over a
hundred acres already set out.
Col Ed Somers. the hustling and
successful agent of the Santa Fe
refrigerator car line and who is
personally acquainted with three
fourths of the people of this section,
has been made general agent of the
Armour car line with headquarters at
Kansas City and will make that point
his home after the close of the berry
business. During the time Col. Somers
was connected with the former company
he spent many months in Van Buren,
and made for himself hosts of friends
who are pleased to hear of his
promotion.

The Charity Hospital deserves recog-
milton at the hands of the city council
in the shape of an appropriation. After
all the city and county are directly
benefited by this institution for it
assists people who otherwise would fall

appropriation, even if only nominal
would be of great assistance in carrying
on the work.
Most of the larger berry growers of

Will o Kane is back from the Indian
Territory, where he has for the past
year been connected with the United

of President Cleveland, and so the
corps had to be disbanded for lack of
funds with which to carry on the work
Will looks as though the work had

that place, stood eminently high
