WHEAT PROSPECTS.

Prospects appear to be- good Tor a
higher level for wheat, not only for
this crop, but, for the next, The. .ex-
ports are SO large that the visible sup
ply will be at low ebb before another
crop is harvested And IF the next
crop is aapoor one prices will beverly
high. Even a big crop next year is
not apt to bring prices to as low q level
as during the past four years. Next
year will in all probility be q good one
for wheat.raisers.- "A dd I11Clen. 4

. killing frost, usually kills off the

our people have gambled upon 9
killing frost this month, but the fol-
lowing observations Of The New Or

a. u Deception.

Our neighbor the Republican Idea
has for several moons past labored
to the full extent Of its trained intel
Iect and with well nigh matches
sophistry TO demonstrate the utter
wickedness and deep dyed dam
p~hoolishness Of the free silver school
of political economists in general
and their chief prophet Hon. VIM.
Jennings Bryan in particular. Lille
is too brief to undertake the CONVEX.
sion Of our venerable cnnfrere, audit
would be a thankless task to point
out the many fallacies which adorn
his elaborate disquisltions on the
monetary question and high protec-
ton.
Nay, we are exceeding 10th to
disturb that enraptured complaccncy,
transported by the sweet siren song
to the cloud capped summit of lau-
cied security whence it serenely
smiles upon The poor fools who con-
tend for an ample volume Of the cir
cnlating medium and the restoration
of silver to its place as money of
final payment.
So long have we heard that It was
only Bryan, a few m~ercenary silver
mine owners in the west, and a hand
full Of wildeyed Populists who dared
dispute the royal superiority Of gold,
and ask Justice for the white metal,
that We regard 1t nothing short Of a
cruel DESCRIPTION that a Republican
newspaper like the Chicago Record
should thus rudely shatter the gor~
geons fabric our neighbor has rear
ed with such labor :
.Although France Is not a silver
producing nation, the sentiment in
