LITERARY NOTES.

The Indianapolis Journal prints this in
teresting story concerning ex-President
Harrison's forthcoming book: General Har-
rison has Just completed the revision of his
articles which have appeared in the LA
dies Home Journal" making extended
notes and additions to them. There is
little story in connection with both articles
and publication. When the arrangement
for the articles was made with General
Harrison by Edward W. Box, editor or the
ladies Home Journal" the General was
paid for them, with the understanding
that when they were put into book form
the magazine was TO share the royaltifs
accruing therefrom. Mr.. Box, however,
ofhis own accord, generously released Gen
eral Harrison from paying him any royalty
for the reason. he states, that by the publ
can of the articles by General Harrison the
subscription list of his magazine was en-
larged many thousands. The profits to-
the Ladies Home Journal were more
than the publishers anticipated. and in
view of this Mr.. Box asks nothing further.
General Harrison placed the disposition of
his book in Mr.. Bok's hands. The best
offer came to the editor from the Scribner,
and to them Mr.. Box gave the book for bis
distinguished contributor. General Har-
rison's revision of the book has Just been
completed and the solumn will appear In
the autumn.

THERE must be vast amount OF
solid satisfaction to the Sound Money
Democrats IN the relative condition Of
wheat and silver to-day as compared
Bryan with year ago, coupled with the
ideas. 1t should lead to self thinking
on the part of the people. The Phila-
delphia Record" of Thursday said:
Wheat prices went up 2 cents per
bushel yesterday. They have risen II
cents per bushel within a month, and
are 25 cents per busbel higher than they
were year ago. This rise in wheat
has been coincident with fall in the
price of silver Of 81 cents per ounce as
compared with the price year ago. The
divergent trend of the wheat and silver
markets is not remarkable, but it is
highly significant. 1t is fact which
plows great hole through big noun
tain Of theory. It should do more to
stamp out the silver heresy than q
whole carload OF Sornd Money PAM

with that part of the Furniture busi-

learned by years of association with
US that their goods must stand after
our customers get them home.
Stripped of salesmen's S fine words
it requires courage not to sell the
glittering meretricious pieces. They
sell easily because they look so
cheap. Wait until they crack and
blister and warp day by day under
your eyes after they are paid for
and it is too much trouble to upset
the house to fight or coax them back
to the seller.
Manufacturers know better than
to send US any such Furniture. They
get it back and pay the costs beside,
or do without business with us.
1t will be like putting old heads
on young shoulders to persuade
some people to select Furniture at

die from actual starvation. Yet the accounts

The assassin was Immediately arrested. He

The forces of nature aud trade, as well

gold production of the world has in
creased enormously; prices of grain

not happen until free coinage should
come; the exports Of the last year are
larger than in any other year in the
history Of the country, thus bringing
large quantities of money into the

despite the absence of free silver; sun
dry nations which had tested free silver,
are going to the gold standard, and

CHAIRMAN BROWNE Of the Repub-
Hcan State Central Committee has
called meeting of the committee for
Wednesday next to consider the ''har-
mony" letter from Chairman Alice.
Tho letter should be considered from
all points of view and a frank answer
should be given. There is room for
but one Republican Party in Delaware
and that one can be victorious. But
there is ample time for action, fifteen
months yet before the election, and the
people, exclusive Of Office seekers, do
not wish to enter into contests, either
factional or partisan at this time. An
agreement to stop all abuse, to turn a
deae ear to the Democratic press in its
efforts to stir up strife. would do more
TO promote harmony than ell else. 1t
Is said the author Of that letter has
announced that be. did not draft it
with the expectations that its PROPOSE.
tiors would be acceptable. II the offer
Is not sincere, II 1t is just because q
few petty Federal Offices are not con-
trolled BY them as comments In the
"Mslford Chronicle, ""Smyrna Times"
and other Addicks organs lead one to
suspect, then an analysis Of the letter
should show this to the people, and Of
itse.f the people will reject it. A MEM
ber Of the Union Committee on the
day the letter was considered In COM
mitaee said to the writer this is our
last offer coupled with threats Of ex-
termination to the Regulars while
at the same time acknowledging that
he had just come from an unsuccessful
effort to control Federal appointments
for Delaware at Washington. There
has been too much sparring for points
let there be an honest effort to get to-
gether.

wHrAT, GOLDEN wHEATi


Between the demand abroad, specu-
lators, and the increased home con-
sumption because Of the good times
when all can work and eat, the golden
wheat of which the farmers Of the
United States have an abundant crop
is now uppermost in the trade centres
and in the minds OF the people. All
of these conditions enter into the
market price. Speculation. gambling
in futures, is the evil feature and is OF
no profit to farmers. 1t should be
stopped II any law can reach 1t. just
at the present the farmer not having
sold his crop m ay profit by the brokers'
speculation but nine times out of ten
the forced rise, the corner when certain
dealers on paper only buy all the grain
in sight and hold it, comes after the
grower has sold his crops. Gambling
in wheat is an evil the farmer should
suppress by his ballot.
The actual consumption abroad is of
course legitimate. There is such d de-
mand at the present and it is because
Of this demand in part that the golden
grain is higher to-day. But specula-
tors seeing the foreign demand try to
force up prices that they may sell their
futures, or wheat on paper as it were,
at profit, hence the fiuctuating price,
up to-day and down tomorrow, hence
the uncertainty of the future demand
and Of the forced sales, long, and forced
purchases, short, and hence the injury
to The farmers through speculation. It
is reported this week that ex-Secretary
Francis of st. Louis, member OF
President Cleveland's Cabinet made
over million dollars in wheat specula-
tion. The wicked man The Demo-
Graf who cares nothing for the poor
farmer, Democrat or Republican, Mug
Wanp or Pcpulist, SO he grows wealthy,
6Ht y6b HUI q lUSnA OOnOSAae1O Y0ROA
mentions the fact. He is In Trust
syndicate, one Of those evils which
Democratic papers denounee and which
Democratic Congresses have not passed
a line of law to suppress. Strange but
true.
The home consumption has much to
do with the price as the TRANSCRIPT
showed year ago. When men work
they eat, and often they eat little when
they do not work. The difference be.
tween '.hard times" eating and pros
porous times runs away up in the big
figures.
On Thursday the Philadelphia mar
ket reached SO cents for No. 2 red. the
highest point for the year. In New
York the bids went to 90s for Septem-
Der, and in Chicago S43 was paid for
September delivery. The estimated
exports of wheat from all parts for
Thursday was $50, 900 bushels while the
sales of futures for the day were
IL $50, GOO bushels.
