THE WHEAT MARKET.

The farmers of Kent, together, with those
of the great wheatgrowing sections of the
Union, are more cheerful than during
many seasons. The crop of the United
States estimated, at $4,000 600 bushels, is
abundant and of fine quality, and in this
State it is exceptionally large Europe, In
dia and Australia are short in crop, and in
stead of supplying to great extent the de-
mands of Western European markets, it is
reported that India and Australia will be
forced into the market for home consump-
ton. Indeed Australia has already made
demands upon the granaries of the Pacific
Coast for grain toeupply bread for her own
people. France, it is estimated, will need
100000 quarters or 80, 100000 bushels
from this side of the ocean against 10000
coo last year. Great Britains crop is short
and her elevator supply is now reported as
nearly exhausted, with harvest still several
weeks off A protracted drought has cut
the Russian crop, and in Italy, Austria,
Turkey and the Danunbian provinces it is
below the average because of unfavorable
weather. These reports are taken from Of
fetal sources, and is fair to presume that
they are il the main reliable. Should they
prove authentic, it is clear that the usual
conditions which exist in the great wheat
growing countries will create continued
strong demand for all the wheat grown on
the American continent. The unusually
brisk demand several months ago when
American wheat nearly reached the dollar
mark, emptied q large percentage of the !
granaries of this country and q general
clearing out took place. The present stock
of last years crop, as well as the estimate
for the crop of this year is, of course. largely
speculative. but assuming their correctness,
America will have 200, ,000, 900 bushels for
export, allowing $4,000 900 bushels for
home onsumption.-C -Chestertown "Trans-
cript.n
Senator Gormon raised 5000 bushels of
wheat on 100 acres of land. which is 80
bushels to acre, and the Baltimore Sun
mentions it is an extraordinary crop. That
may be true for Howard county. but the
mention of it as extraordinary" makes
the Queen Anne's farmer laugh. There are
hundreds of farmers in Queen Anne's that
beat it all hollow, Thirty-fve and forty
bushels per acre is our CROP ON good farm,

ularly hang around the 80 cent mark far

ANOTHER TAX.

The tax payers appear to have sud-"
denly realized that by the new Consti-
tuition another tax has been placed
upon them. The Every Evening of
Tuesday tells of the matter in its local
columns as follows:
Judging from the talk heard on the
streets and in the Offices there is great
and general kick against the PROPOSE
tien to collect the usual poll tax, in adj
dition to the registration fee of 81
which is provided for in the new Con-
stitution.
Property taxpayers are especially in
dignant, for the new order of things
requires them to pay three county taxes,
to say nothing of the city taxes i'm
posed on those having property in the
city. They must pay their regular prop
erty tax, which they have always been
accustomed to doing, and which is nat
uraIly expected. With the property tax
they must pay the poll tax, which has
heretofore been requisite for voting,
but which now has no significance in
that direction. Then, If they desire to
vote, wi en- it comes time to register
must pay 81 each to registr, and fail
ure to pay this registration fee prevents
them from voting.
AS far as can be learned, there is no
objection to paying the poll tax, even
though it does not carry with it any
special privilege, but, as it has been a
regular thing and imposes no extra
burden, no complaint is heard.
But 1t is different with the registra-
tion fee, which is new thing and
which is considered hardship. What
effect it will have is a matter Of con-
lecture, but it is already worrying poll
ticians who fear that they will have
endless trouble in having their friends
qualified at election time. t
The casual reader would suppose
that the Every Evening condemns this
aeaitioUal taxation and sympathizes
with the oppressed tax payer. It is not
that way. This is but local report
and In fact when the matter was un-
der consideration by the Conven-
tion the Every Evening favored the
tax, gave it all the support it could.
The truth is that in the convention
John Biggs. Esqr., and DR.. EeW.
Cooper at first favored q free ballot
and made speeches advocating it but
the politicians. did not think.that way
and finally the Convention stood IA
Republicans for a free ballot to 16
Democrats opposed, the first partisan
division. we believe. Seme0f the Dem.
ocrats stood out for as3. 90 registration
fec Finally q compromise on S1.00 was
aQeed to, it being she best the Repub-
Iicans could get on condition that tEey
support poll tax. The Every Evening
had full knowledge Of these facts when
its reporter gave the public the above
quotation from Its columns. Why n
did not comment upon them is appar-
ent. 1t really favors the placing adj
ditlonal taxation on the already over
taxed people.

Party HARMONY.

President Mckinley has r.c gnized
Col. DUPONT as the representative Of
Delaware Republicans. Every Repub-
lican Senator did the same when the
colonef's claim to seat was before
that body. This appears to have
stirred up our Union Republican
brethren. They have been to Wash.
inetnn, they have caucused, and now
they ask fora conference with the Re-
gulars looking to harmony. Harmony
is good but'Ehaving been announced as
by a brass band. given to the press
before the gentlemen to whom it is adj
dressed, it has the appearance of
another effort to control few federal
offices and to displace Col. daP Pont who m
they have wronged and consequently
feel i'll towards.
If the offer is genuine it can afford
to be considered at leisure, il 1t is q
mere trick to gain in one way what is
lost in another it Can afford to wait.
The TRANSCRIPT wants peace and
harmony aDd union, but there is no
necessity to get into rush. The letter
from Chairman Alice to Chairman
Browne follows:
To HUaH G. BRowN, Chairman.-Sir The
reason for the existence of the political or
ganization of which you are chairman hay-
ing By previous confession been removed
by the adoption of the present organic law.
and the consequent necessity having arisen
for the formation and adoption ofnew rules
of party government to meet the conditions
that thereby confront us, leads US, the rep
resentatives of the Union Republican party
Of the State of Delaware, to address to you
the following propositions:
First. That the committee of which you
are chairman, appoint conference ofthree
to meet as:milar number from the Union
Republican committee for the purpose of
arranging the details as to time and place
for common primaries and united state
convention.
Second. That this state convention shall
when duly assembled formulate and adopt
new rules of party government, and shall
also elect State Central Committee for q
united party in Delaware.
We feel impelled to make the above pro-
positions from profound desire for the sue
cess of Republican principles in the State
Of Delaware. Indifferent to misconstruc-
ton we feel no loss of dignity can be in
CURED from motives inspired solely by a
patriotic desire for party success in this
state. We ask your immediate and consid-
crate reply to propositions freighted with
the most pregnant consequences, and whose
rejection we sincerely believe will entail
years of fatal results, not to mention the
consequent implication that will wait upon
refusal to submit to, or abide by those
fundamental Republican principles-the-
win Of The people, and majority rule.
VIII yeu be kind enough TO give decis-
i've reply TO the above propositions on or
before the first day of August, 1897, and
oblige yours respectfully.
