AMONG FARMERS.

Potatoes are selling at Stevens Pom,
for 70 cents per bushel and it is thought
they will reach one dollar.
Potatoes come out from their hiding
places Oh Friday and Saturday last and
came to market In large quantities. They
brought 81 cents bushel. At this price
1t pays "olg' to raise potatoes.
May, or cash wheat. went up to 81. 20

has control OF the market and Is squeez
ing the shorts. He sold 100000 bushels
of wheat in Minneapolis on Saturday fol-
81 90. At every advance of &c. per bushel
IN Chicago Letter sold 100000 bushels so
that his profits must be immense. The
bears are ruined and now admit that there
is scarcity of wheat, Wheat went to
S1.S5 on Tuesday.
1t is said that when wheat was bring
ing only 81 per bnshel here farmers were
paid Sl.O7 at Chiffon. Tais may not be
true. La fact 1t is always better to dis
credit rumors than 1t Is to put faith IN
them. Ii the report Is true Mauitowcc
wheat buyers are making a sad mistake.
When farmers suspicious are aroused
they are not easily allayed. The city will
suffer losses OF many thousands of dol
lars In trade for failure to keep to the
front 10 prices paid for farm produce
We don't want our farmers to be attract

Corn advanced liGtle In sympathy with
wheat and oats also bat not to any ex-
tent. Farmers will make mistake ii
they attribute the rise 10 the price of
wheat To the war they HscrIUed the fall
TO silver. There Is no more consumption
of wheat now than before war was declar-
ed and wheat producers ara not reduced
| War Will be bat u slight factor Ia future
10 raising the price of grain AS machinery
does the work and the supply will not be
| .essened by enhstments The fact is
there ls great shortage of wheat. It's
| full extent was not known until April
Foreign countries became heavy buyers
| and the United States did not have as
| large surplus as WAS figured upon. The
prospects for wheat having good stiff
price until the new harvest is in are good,
| though 1t does not seem probable that
the present high prices will be maintain
ed. Bnt farmers should not rely upon
the war, unless it becomes so general as
to draw so heavily upon the producing
classes that sea! city will result, some
| thing which may be deemed highly i'm
probable.
The absence OF farmers from the city
The last few days was qnite noticeable

iT is announced that the free silver
senators purpose opposing the bond pro-
vision OF the war revenue bill. To de
clare war and then deny the government
means for carrying 1T on is not patriotic
The senators should take lesson from
the people. For the present, party lines
are obhterated among them. 1t is not
from war excitement but manifestation
OF that deep settled conviction that per
sonal and party differences should be
forgotten when an emergency demands
nnlsy OF action. People who were wont
10 CLASSIFY themselves by their national
extraction have wiped out that distinc
ton and the gener Il title AMERICAN Cit

AT moment like this when they rise SUI
perlor TO all differences of opinion and
snow slngleness of purpose and IN
lhcatlon which centers the strength of
the nation as II 1t were IN the arm of one
man! There were differences of opinion
rs 10 whether war was necessary to &C
compllsh that for which the war il H.
lended. but when war became the me-
uluh OF accomplishment, argument ceas-
ed ana every one accepted the measure
deemed proper by the constituted au-
thorltles. The people promptly entered
upon the discharge of the obligation rect
ing npon them. EulIstmeuts outran the
call Of the government and people begged
as privilege that which IN other coun-
tries Is deemed a hardship. This magnlf
lcent exhibition of patriotism stirred
every heart except few national legis
lators who found it popular in the past
to decry the issuance of bonds and who
Fancy that the people will give heed to
their Pnnch and Judy show with the
grand drama of war before them.
1t Is dangerous to trItla with such res
olute purpose rs the people of the United
States have now formed on the question
or national honor. The government needs
money 10 prosecute the war vigorously
ana to successful end. 1t cannot create
money and the readlest way to secure it
Is 10 borrow. To throw obstacles 10 the
way for little supposed partisan advan-
fages Is petty and the persons responsible

calls God to witness that be did every
thing possible to avoid rupture with
the United States. He admits they are
overwhelmed by superior force while
torn with disseusions at home.
Thousands of people are now dying in
Cuba from starvation. Gomez troops
are living on small game.
1t Is SAID that Admiral Monteio. the
commander Of the Spanish feet at Man
lila, was massacreo by the populace after
he made his escape from his annlhilated
fleet. Manila is In state of panic. Its
feet Is destroyed, It's forts reduced and 1t
Ia surrounded by enemies. The leader
of the insurgents promised Dewey he
would not permit atrocities but it Is fear
ed he cannot restrain his men.
The entire army at Chickamauga has
been ordered to seaport towns so as to be
ready to go 10 Cnbs. The points are
Tampa, Mobile and New Orleans. This
means invasion OF Cnba in short time.
The Cape Verde fleet seems to have

day it WIS stated as being official that the

States feet. Yesterday news was recelv
