WINTER WHEAT CROP.
Condition the Poorest Ever Known,
With One Exception.

CHICAGO, March 29.-The monthly
crop report of the Orange Judd Farm
er, compiled from country returns re-
ceived up to March 26, makes the
present condition of winter wheat the
lowest since 1885, and with that single
exception the lowest ever reported.
The general average is 83.5 againt $40
last year and S5.2 in 1895. The Gov
eminent records for the past sixteen
years show that the April report has
averaged nearly one point higher than
the May following during that period,
and as unusual allowance for possible
future recovery has been made in
figuring this report of condition, 1t
may be accepted as a fact that the
country is ACE to face with a third
short winter wheat crop.
To localize and illustrate the disas-
GER which has overtaken the crop, the
present condition in the six great win
ter wheat states is given, with the
changes from conditions reported at
this date a year ago: Ohio, Sc, or IA
points better; Michigan, 81, or 4
| points lower; Indiana, 20, or 10 points
| lower; Illinois, 45, or Al points lower;
Missouri, rs, or 10 points lower; Kan
sas, ss, or 8 points lower. General
average of the six states, rs, against 81
last year.
On the Pacific coast, in Texas, and
in the Eastern States, the season has
been satisfactory, and State averages
are quite generally high.
The crop was seeded late and did
not secure good root growth before
the heavy freeze of the latter part Of
November. 1t went into winter lack
ing in vigor, and the abnormally cold
weather in January, when there was
little now protection in the Ohio and
Mississippi Valleys, was injurious.

We all know that any tired muscle
can be restored by rest. Your stom-
ach is a muscle. Dyspepsia is its
manner of saying, 81 am tired. Give
me rest" To rest the stomach you
must do Its work outside of the body.
This is the Shakers method OF cur
ing Indigestion, and its success is best
attested by the fact that these people
r practically free from what is with
out doubt the most prevalent of all
diseases. The Shaker Digestive Cor
dial not only contains digested food
which is promptly absorbed without
taxing the tired digestive organs, but
it is likewise an aid to the digestion of
other foods in the stomach. A 10
cent trial bottle will convince you of
its merits, and these you can obtain
through all druggists.

THE millers of the United States are
not satisfied with the tariff bill. They
recognize, as Mr.. Blaine said of the
Mckinley bill, that there is nothing in
Il that will sell another barrel of -four
or another pound of pork. They re-
gard the reciprocity section as a pre-
tense, for they know that treaties can
not be negotiated with any nation on
the terms proposed. In addition to
that, duties are imposed upon milling
apparatus, which will increase the
cost of production. NJ. H. Davis,
President of the National Millers' As
ISOLATION, writes as follows:
"The present bill has also excited
the opposition of the milling industry
because of the proposed duty of so per
cent upon silk boiling cloth. The last
two tariff laws excepted boiling cloth
for milling purposes and admitted it
free. The present bill would tax one
OF the most expensive portions of a
miIler's equipment. Boiling cloth
costs from $3.50 to 81 a yard. Even a
small mill has to have several hundred
yards, while in large mills the boiling
cloth used runs into q valuation of
many thousands of dollars. When
you consider that silk boiling cloth
has never been made in the United
States, and probably never will be
made in this country, and that Switz-
erlsnd is the only country on the face
OF the earth in which it Is produced,
and that 1t requires peculiar climatic
conditions and a very low cost of
skillful labor to make 1t, you will see
how unreasonable it Ia 10 impose q
heavy duty upon that article. Boiling
cloth for milling purposes should be
on the free list"

Democratic View of the D1ngley Bill.
From the New York .Inrrnal.

~ SNS 800
From the New York Journal.
Seldom has there been a more cog
ont, oio~ar and nanvincino exnosition
of the protection fallacy than is con-
tanned in the minority report of the
Committee on Ways and Means on
the Dingley tariff bill. 1t makes SO
plain that only q blockhead can fail to
see it, that if the bill achieves its pur-
pose it will raise prices, that it will
thus take money from all the people
to distribute it among a few, chat tax
alton is a burden and not a blessing,
that a protective tariff encourages
pernicious and dangerous %extrava-
gance, teaches the people to look to
the Government for the promotion of
all kinds of Improbable enterprises
which can be made profitable only by
compelling the consumers of the Unit
ed States to pay exorbltant prices for
their products, and corrupts the pub
lie mind and the public's servants.
But the most striking and valuable
part of the report is that which shows
how trusts are built up by protection,
which is avowedly based upon the
theory that competition should be re-
stricted. 1t is perfectly evident, and
experience has proven it to the ccun-
try's cost, that men who shave Sc
cured themselves against foreign COM
petition by the favor of Congress-"
will certainly secure themselves
against domestic competition by vol
untary combinations among them
selves.
The minority report is a vain pro-
test now, for the trusts and corpora
tions are determined to have their
pound of flesh as nominated in the
bond executed to them by MIR. Hanna
last summer. But it will be needed by
the people, and will have its effect
two years hence.

All that is beautiful and lovely in

our American women that longing for

offspring; yet the wife hesitates to
talk with the family physician on this
delicate subject. A good way to do is
