MIA in 1858. His father gave him 49,
600, his capital in life. On his death
he had as many millions, perhaps
more, than be had thousands wht n
he went away.
During all those years in the Yves

His journey was from New York by
way of the Isthmus of Panama. He
began life mining gold with pick and

prosaic duties of clerk in store. He
worked thei o for several years when
he formed company for opening the
Idaho mines in Grass Valley, Cal.
That was bonanza strike. The
mine yielded the bright yellow ore to

A GOOD TINE TO HARMONIZE

In Maryland Senator German
has succeeded in bringing the gold
and silver factions of the Demo
cratic party together for a time at
least, and in Georgia the course of
Mr.. du Bignon in giving up his
gold proclivities will probably
pave the way to harmony in that
State.
It is a good time, during what
is an off year in politics in the
great majority of States, to adjust
our differences and get together
for the congressional and State
elections next year:
The idea is growing that the
genuine Democratic reformer
should work for reform inside of
his party. In the same way the
advocate of any particular none
tary standard should advocate it
in the party councils and submit
to the decision of a majority until
the proper time comes for the re-
opening of the question.
The great work of restoring
harmony to the Democratic pars
ty should not be delayed until
the excitement of the congress
sional elections begins to make
itself felt everywhere. 1t is a
work requiring the exercise of
reason, patience and q due cons
sideration for the opinions and
feelings of others, and it can be
best undertaken at a time when
the great political hosts of the
country are enjoying a period
of camparatiYe rest and quiet.
my country, rightor wrong
was the sentiment of an old-time
patriot, and something of this
feeling should control every
active party worker. The indiYid-
ual partisan is right IN standing
up for his convictions until the
time comes for a trial of strength
with the enemy. Then, he should
yield promptly to the majority
of his associates and act with
them. This kind of independence
is legitimate and praiseworthy.
but nothing good can result from
that mistaken independentism
which leads each individual to
desert his party when he cannot
force it to adopt his peculiar
opinions.

AS to Mr.. German

Mr.. German didn't indulge il
a vast amount of preliminary
talking. but he has shown the
Democratic Party the way out OF

The Washington Post. which

far wrong in a conclusion, has
embodied a whole compendium
of wisdom in the pungent para

The General Level of Prices.

1t is a very noteworty fact
that wheat is the only principal
product of the soil in this couns
try that is rising in value at the
present time. Corn and cotton
both display a downward ten
dency, while pig iron, like silver,
is cheaper now than ever before
since a record Of prices has been
kept. Evidently the high price Of
wheat is due to the abnormal
scarcity Of supply, and it does
not materially affect the general
level of prices, which is steadily
tending downward in all gold
standard countries.

WILSON AND THE SOUTH.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is
taking a lively interest in the agri-
cultural welfare of the country and
that of the South in particular. In
| an interview in the Baltimore Manu-
lfacturers Record this week he says
that he proposes to make a trip
through this section of the Union in
October in order to ascertain and
study the needs of the Southern
planter, which needs he proposes to
satisfy, as far as it lies in his power.
He says that he will not travel
through the country in a special car
at the rate of fifty miles an hour.
only getting a glimpse Of the land
Escape. He will come as a plain
American citizen and meet the far
mer in his home. Before his return
he will visit the Tennessee Centen-
NAL and gather such ideas as are to
be had from exhibits there.
When asked what he thought were
the general needs of the Southern
farmer sc far as he had been able to
observe, Secretary Wilson said {:
New crops and lots of them, more
diversified farming, more up-to-date
methods in some sections, more gen
eral and liberal raising of cattle for
market and for dairy products, and
| sheep for mutton and WOOL
Continuing, the Secretary correct
lily added that the general need of
the Southwest is a closer relation
and a more rapid communication
with the European markets. With
this object in view he has placedhim-
self III correspondence with several
ocean steamship companies to in
lduce them to establish lines direct
between the ports of the Gulf Of
Mexico and those of Europe, the
steamships to be provided with re
frigerators, SO that the fruits, vege-
tables, dairy products, poultry, eggs
and other ~perishable farm products
can be shipped expeditiously to all
the markets of Europe. Just think
of the vast territory" continued Mr..
Wilson, Ito be benefited by such an
enterprise Southern Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas
and all of that section lying North
of these States nearer to the Gulf
than to the Atlantic seaboard. Why
the farmers of the Southwest will
be nearer European markets than
their brethren of the upper Missis
lsippi Valley
Mr., Wilson thinks that the far
Imers of the country just now should
be the happiest people in the world,
because they are the most prosper
Gus in view of the big crops grown
this year, the advance in wheat and
corn, the upward movement in cot
ton and the general healthful condi-
Ition of agricultural affairs. It is
hoped that the trip Of the Secretary
of Agriculture through the South
will be of practical benefit and that
1t will result in the pursuance of a
more liberal policy by the Republi-
can administration towards the far
mers of this section. who have here
|tofore received the little end of all
things from that party.

ONE of the most satisfactory
features connected with the res
cent advance in the price of
wheat is the fact that the farmers
rather than Spectators, will get
the benefit of that advance. for
the reason that the crop is yet in
the hands of those who produced
it. The crop is said to be the
largest, with one exception. that
has ever been produced in this
country, being upward of a hum
dred million bushels greater than
it was last year, and as the price
is now twenty-odd cents a bushel
higher than it was a year ago,
the indications are that the fars
mers will obtain fully one huns
dred and twenty-five million dol
lars more for the crop of 1897
than they did for that of 1896.
This vast sum will necessarily
find its way into various chan
nels of trade and will serve to
stimulate business generally.
