Thesp figures are not based on guesswork, but
on car eful estimates made from
gathered at largo in tho State OF Nebraska, and
are. thei efore, as nearly accurate as such figures
can be short Of an actual canvass of each county
In the 81 ate.
1t is rensonably certain that the principal
crops OF Nebraska farms for the year OF grace
1897 will be as given in the first table.
The aggregate market value Of this trc-
mendous yicld calculated at the prices for which
the commodities actually sold In open market
to-day is 800. 500 500. II this crop had been
marketed on Saturday, Aug. Is. 1896. 1t would
have sold for only ST.. O3l 900. a gain for the
Nebraska fariacr in one year of $ls. s3s, 500.
In connection with tho seasons crops In Ne
braska the following interesting comparison Is
made. II the Nebraska farmer had sold his
wheat crop this year at Chicago on Aug. 10.
1896. at the top quotation for September de-
livery. he would have received $l6,575.o0O.
With this he could have gone on the market and
bought silver bullion at the New York price OF
66A cents per ounce, or a trifle less than Zig
ounces for n dollar. His wheat crop then was
worth "a, s62. 500 ounces of silver. On Aug. 10.
1897, the same crop OF wheat, sold In Chicago
at the top price for September delivery, was
worth $26. 962, 800.
This crop Of wheat on the New York market on
Aug. 10. 1897. would buy so. 7s6, 900 ounces Of
silver. the price OF silver having declined from
q trife less than one and one-half ounces for 81
to n little less than two ounces for 81. the exact
ratio in 1895 being 1.49s ounces to the dollar.
The gain to the farmer in silver for 1897 over
1896 is a small matter of IS. 523. 500 ounces, or
about one-half of the total output Of the United
States.
In other words, on the markets Of the world
the wheat crop of Nebraska is worth more than
the total silver output Of the United
States. The value Of the five primer.
pal crops OF Nebraska for 1897, as shown
by the figures given before. expressed
in ounces Of silver, is 1s3.O79,64o ounces or
80. o78.6 $40 ounces more than the total silver
output OF the world. That is, IL tho Ne
braska farmer so desires, no can buy the
entire silver output Of the world at
the market and have a matter Of Sle.-
600, 200 left OF the market price of
his corn, wheat, oats. rye and hay. with his
barley, b~uckwheat, sugar beets, chicory, poul-
try, dairy products. hogs, cattle, sheep and
| horses still to dispose OF.
This computation Is based on the actual price
paid for the commodities In Nebraska to-day.
property Of the State shows that there arc In
the State $40. S5S head OF, horses.
The number of hogs in the State Is shown to
! be l.6l1,271 with TN average OF about $l.lO

according to the assessors. is l.2l2.O25 with an

TO BEFOOL THE BRYANITES
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS PLANNING
WAY AND MEANS.

A Council OF the Chiefs at Saratoga To-Day to
Consider n Scheme for Avoiding = Fresh
Endorsement or the Chicago Platform
state Committeo TO Meet sept. No.
Chairman Danforth Of tho Democratic State
Committee saw ex-senator David b. Hill on
Friday and announced yesterday that tho
State Committee will DO called to meet at
tho Hoffman House In this city on Sept.
Is. He said further that there was every
probability of the nomination Of Supreme
Court Justice Alton 8. Parker for Chief Judge
OF the Court of Appeals. Tho nomination OF
Justice Parker was foreshadowed by II sun
some months ago. The Justice is ex-senator
Hills choice for tho nomination. and 1t is con-
coded that David Bennett Hill still pulls a
strong oar in tho Democratic State organiZa-
ton.
The way to meet and defeat the demands OF
the sincere Bryan men who think that the
State Committee should reaffirm the Chi
cago platform at Its coming meeting 10
being discussed at Saratoga to-day. John
G. Shcchan has gone there to consult
with the Democratic State leaders on the sub
ject. There are several Tammany district
leaders at tho Springs now who will be con-
suited; also several New York city members Of
the State Committee. Among these are John
J. Scannell. Thomas f.. Grady, and Thomas j.
Duhh. pIoOhiyh DcinOCTulo VII W TCDIcbohtOu
by bernard J. York. Senator McCarren, and
others.
The plan which has been practically agreed
on proposes that the Chicago platform be lodged
as Senator German and his friends lodged IT in
Maryland. 1t Is to DO asserted that the
state COMMITTEE can perform no other rune
ton. than that which was delegated to 1t
by the state Convention last year. and that is
the nomination, CT a candidate for Chief
will be made that the State convention
last year Endorsed the Chicago platform with
out quibbling. and that it ought to BIO
understood that the organization is "on the
level without asking it to 20 outside its proper
functions TO rcaffirin, its faith in Organism.
putting the Tammany mcmberso of the commit
see on record against Organism will be dis
cussed. Ii is known that it is the present intcn-
ton of the radical Bryan men to have a resolu-
tion introduced in the committce demanding the
reaiirmation OF the platform. The Chairman
order and refuse TO entertain it; but there is the
appeal from the Chair, and the members would
be put on record on that.
1t is IA certainty that the rcd-hot Bryan men do
not purpose to be put Off by the State Commit
tee. Their leaders declare in no uncertain voice
fuses. to reaflirm the Chicago platform. they
viii, have q ticket OF their own in the
field. and will not wait for any eleventh hour
confession Of Democratic faith from county or
city committees. They are just as determined
that the candidate for Judge of the Court of
Appeals shall be an recommending liryanite.
II Is considered doubtful il they will accept
Judge Parker as such.
Leader Sheehan will return to the city on
Tuesday, ty which time, il is expected, that the
plan for hoodwinking tho Bryan enthusiastic
will have been perfected.
