WHY THE PRICE OF WHEAT GOES vi

WHY THE PRICE OF WHEAT GOES VI
We find the following telegram in the
newspapers:
Springfield, Mass, Aug. 25-An ex-
tensive inquiry into European crop con-
ditiOns, conducted by the Orange Judd
syndicate Of agricultural papers, includ-
ing the American Agriculturist, Of New
York, the Orange Farmer, of Chicago,
and the New York Homestead, OF
Springfield, Mass, indicates that the
food crop situation abroad is very grave.
Estimates of Europe's Gncluding Eng
land) needs of wheat imports range all
the way from 100000, 900 to 400 ,OOO, 900
bushels. Europes wheat crops for 1895,
1894 and 1898 averaged about 1.5OO. OOO.-
600 bushels In the year 1891, it was
only 1,200,OO0,00O. The impression is
gaining ground that Europe's wheat
crop this year is even less than in 1891.
But this is not the worst of it. Europe
usually produces as much rye as she
does wheat. 1t is the bread grain of
the masses. The rye crop of the prin-
clpal European countries PRUSSIA, Ger
man, France. Austria, Bulgaria, Rou-
mania and Italy and the low countries
and Sweden) has averaged about $780,
100000 bushels annually for 1896, 1895.
1894 and 1893. This season the rye crop
of these countries cannot much exceed
S75,OOO,OOO bushels. Quite as bad is the
potato prospect Only about 1850, 900
bushels of potatoes will be harvested in
these countries this year. Without re-
gard to the United Kingdom, or other
European countries, there is shortage
of some 1,0O000O,OOO bushels of potatoes.
European shortages compared with av-
erages, follow: Wheat, 300 1000, 900 BUSH
els; rye, 325,OOO,0OO bushels; potatoes
l,OOo.OOO,OOO bushels; total, 1925, 900 900.
While we don't advise our farmers to
hold their wheat or to sell it we do urge
them not to sacrifice it in the face of
present conditions.

Dobbyn, In ferOciOusly attacking Mr..
Meighen, with the vindictiyeness of a
bot-ny makes pregnant admission. He
says:
The maliciously false statements
made by Mr.. Donnelly, and his factotum
Thomas J. Meighen, should have been
contradicted in THE ONLY PAPER
WHERE THEY ARE ABLE TO GET
PUBLICITY, but we were denied the
privilege Of being heard before those
who have read the accusations against
u.s."
Thanks, brother Dobbyn. You are
right. The Representative is the ONLY
Populist paper in the Northwest which
reaches the public. Was it wise then
Tor few thingumbobs to get up last
summer conspiracy against the editor
or such paper, to disgrace and humil-
late him; when he was doing them no
harm, and in fact was advocating tbeir
leader for congressman?
A friend Of Dobbyn, an honorable
gentleman, but who does not desire to
be dragged into discussion, and there
fore does not want his name used. told
friend of ours the other day that lust
before the Minnesota Populist delegation
started for st. Louis, last summer. he
said to Dobbyn:
why are you and your crowd advo-
eating Mr.. Donnelly's nomination for
the presidency? 1 supposed you were
hostile to him."
And the honorable CO Dobbyn re-
piled:
$50 we are, but we are doing it to
put him off his guard until we get to
st. Louis; when it will be too late for
him to defend himself"

Hog Cholera.

Frank Baumgartner, Of Dubuque, Ia,

been in the employ of the different rail

and experimenting with the disease
which has cost the farmers of the state
vast amount of money. He is of the
opinion that hog cholera is not contag
ious, is durable, and caused largely by
manner Of feeding, in fact over feeding.

A Special Rate.

10 all those subscribing for the Re-
PUBLICAN between now and December j,
we will give a special rate OF one dollar
per year if paid in advance. This is a
rate that should secure many new sub
scribers. We would be pleased if our
friends would speak to their neighbors
and aid us in securing new subscribers.
We think about every family in the
county might take the REPUBLICAN at
least at that price. Especially do we
think those who are OF the political
faith that we advocate ought to take it,
and aid us in extending its circulation
and influence. We are trying to make
of it good local county paper and an
exponent of republicanism, and we usk
the cooperation af our readers.
If those who are in arrears on our sub
scription books will pay arrear"ges be-
fore December l, they also can have ad-
vantage of the special rate for the coming
year.
