GRAND Canyon of the Yellowstone

Grand Canyon Of the Yellowstone
"On both walls thousands of pinnacles, towers,
obelisks, and needles seem to be growing like
the trees around them. On the south wall there
are gigantic buttresses supporting smaller ones.
The north wall flares widely and carries tobog-
gan-slde areas, through which knife-like ridges
and tongues of rusty rock are thrust.
Between our rocky perch and Inspiration
Point. which stands well out into the canyon an
absolute precipice almost aloof from the main
wall, the forest pushes half way down to the
river. Its dark green intensfes the vivid walls
on each side of it,
1t also shelters numbers of deer, that can be
seen if one wishes to climb down into it.
The pinnacles of rock below lis are used by
the eagles for nesting purposes. Their nests
can be seen, as can also the young eagles"

Mr.. Whites Great Speech.

A few days after 1t was delivered
the Louisville Courier-J ournal thus
referred to the tariff speech which
made Congressman Fred. White, now
the democrat and fusion candidate
for governor of Iowa, famous:
when he rose to speak last We'd
voice in that hall; but he introduced
himself to congress before he had
been on his legs five minutes, and
congress will know him in future
whenever and wherever congress lays
eyes on him. He had not uttered
four score words before one could
hear on both sides of the chamber,
who is he? Where is he from?" from
a score of solons at once. Members
crowded around him, and no speech
made this session has been punctu-
ated with more or sincerer applause
than that of Hon. Frederick White of
Iowa"
The speech was discussion of the
tariff from the agricultural and eco
nomic standpoints, and it was so ex-
Extraordinarily lucid, logical, able and
effective that the democratic national
committee caused it to be translated
into five different languages and
printed and distributed between 81
100000 and 100000 copies of it.

introducing a more diversified system
of farming, one that shall include
sheep, cattle, horses, hogs, poultry
dairying. The country we believe is
we'll adapted to successfully condu Ct
ing these varied industries, and when
the people shall engage in them,
making wheat growing mere Incl
dent or auxiliary to their productions,
prosperity will come to them in their
homes.
As we leave the Red River valley,
we go into a portion of the state
sparsely settled, and at least nine
tenths of the lands uncultivated. The
new farms opened up the present
season, and the breaking for crops
another year, we are told by those
living in this country, exceeds all
that has been done in that way for
the past five years, and from the
breaking teams seen from the cars
and the large fields of upturned sod
seen, we have reason to believe the
statement. 1t will require from three
to five years to thoroughly subdue
these new farms so that tame grass
will thrive upon them, but as soon as
that time shall come, to insure a
proper reward for their toll, the farms
should be turned to some other use
than immense wheat fields. This
country producing only the wheat
required for home consumption and
giving other branches of farm
industry more attention can reap a
rich reward for its labor than in COM
peting in European markets with its
pauper labor and rich lands for profit
from selling wheat.

Fluctuations In Price of Wheat Dul

Fluctuations In Price of Wheat Dur
ing the Last Twenty Years.
Those who claim that gold is stable
and unvarying standard of values and
that the fall in the gold price of other
commodities is owing to overproduction
should carefully study the following
figures:
In 1878 wheat was worth $1.34 per
bushel, and in 1893 it was forth only CO
cents per bushel. Was this decline in
the gold price of wheat the result of
overproduction?
The average yield of wheat in the
United States from 1878 to 1886 was
about 450,0OO,OOO bushels, and, dividing
this into periods of four years, the
average yield for any four consecutive
years has not varied 25,oOO,OOO bushels
from this general average. The average
for 1878 to 1881 was about 450,000,OO0
bushels, and for 1893 to 1896 was 43O,-
100000 bushels, SO there has been no
overproduction of wheat in the United
States to account for the fall in the
price of wheat. The above figures are
taken from the Republican Campaign
Book" of 1892, page 70, and from the
New York Financial News. have not
at hand the figures showing the wheat
production of the world during the last
20 years, but quote from the above
authority to the effect that "the tables
of the worlds production of wheat for
these years does not show as much
wheat per capita now as 20 years ago."
And is it not strange that with India
starving, the Argentine republic eaten
up with grasshoppers and Australia
parched with drought, and in the face
of the smallest worlds crop of wheat in
many years, to-day wheat does not
bring cost of production?
Adam Smith, in his wealth of Ma
tions," states that silver is far more
uniform and stable standard of value
than gold, but that for long periods of
time wheat is perhaps more stable
standard of values than even silver"
And the remarkable agreement be-
tween the purchasing power of an
ounce of silver and a bushel of wheat
when averaged over sufficient period
to eliminate variations due to transient
causes is truly remarkable and bears
out Adam Smiths Chicago
Dispatch.

In speaking OF the tariff bill passed
by the senate. Senator Teller said:
1.-THE tariff measure passed is the most
outrageous one ever given to the peo-
pie of this country. l do not believe
that in all the history of legis lation
among the nations of the world there
was ever such an unscientific bill en-
acted into law.
'If the people of the United States
fully understood the enormity of this
act they would rise in protest against
it. 1t is travesty upon the princi-
pie of protection, and adds in every
way to the already heavy burdens of
the consumer.
"The tariff bill as passed has not
only taken care of all the large trusts,
but there was no trust so small but
what was offered protection if it had
a representative here to assert its
claims. 1t is a measure designed ex-
clusively for the benefit of corpora
tions, with little regard for revenue
and none for the people.
