Tor the market IN September.
Watch the market at that time.
You have : pointer in the drop
for that month quoted this morn
ing. Something, now unforeseen,
may happen to drive up the price
again, I would like to see some
such good thing for my own sake
as we'll as that of others I know of
in the State, but if any one is SO
guileless as to be replying on the
Administration and the Dingley
law-although both have been
heavily enforced by the so-called
war revenue bill, the one with four
hundred millions Understanding
certificates to supply the deficiency
s"The one or two cases cited by
Mr.. johnson Of individuals who
were fortunate enough to have five
and ten thousand bushels of wheat
to sell at the Letter prices were all
right for the individuals, but I am
at loss to see how he connects
these most fortunate individuals
with the general prosperity of the
State, or as tending to show an
advance along the whole line. Az
to the ease of his neighbor who
sold chicken feed for good wheat,
at the top notch price-well, to
those of us who have had dealings
with the wheat buyer in North
Dakota, such . statement is calcu-
lated to suggest considerable
romance in ito makeup. If there
is anything a wheat buyer is par
ticular about, and especially when
he is paying high price, it is the
grade of the wheat when presented
for sale. It is calculated to make
the average farmer smile to think
that anybody could palm off load
of chicken feed and get No. l hard
price for it from any wheat buyer
in the State. OF course, I am de-
lighted if anybody in the State,
be they two or dozen, was able
to get the benefit of the increased
price of the Letter combine, but /
am at loss to understand how the
farmers generally are to feel the
alleged prosperity whom they sold
their wheat last fall, before Letter
got in his work, and who won't
have any more to sell until the
present crop is harvested next
September and Mr.. Letter has
gone out Of business.
Gas to the State being for sound
money, why, I don't suppose there
is anybody in the State who wants
any money that is not sound. If
Mr.. johnson would only explain
what he means by sound money
all of US could better understand
his position. If he means, IS do
most of those who pirate of sound
money, the single gold standard,
then I challenge his statement and
do not believe the State of North
Dakota will line up in that column.
The great trouble with a good
many gentlemen who entertain
views at this time and are anxious
to ventilste them is to make use of
ambiguous and misleading terms
that tend to mystify and befog the
situation, such, Is sound money,
prosperity and similar terms, that
are unmeaning as used, but which
might have great significance from
another point of iew.'-Wash-
lington Times.

The Congressman's Fancy Price
Wheat Arguments Don't
Hang Together.

having his attention called to the
interview of the Washington Times
representative with Congressman
johnson, the Soma tor proceeded to
show the fallacy of some of Mr..
Johnson's arguments:
"The trouble about saying any
thing in regard to such utterances
is that you do not know what the
person talking or writing is driv-
ing at, or really means. Now, Mr..
johnson talks or writes Il really
do not know which) about pros
perity in our State, and cites nu-
merous instances, presumably to
substantiate his statement. Icon
TESS to some mystifcation over his
attempt to apply the so-called OBJ
ject lessons.
Now in regard to the wheat pro-
position, don't know that anyone
needs a better answer than that
contained in the telegraph news
this morning, announcing the COL
lapse of the Letter deal.
Mark the quotings Of Septem-
Der wheat if you please; it fell to
694. Do you know what price that
means in my State-50 cents or
less, for mind you, we farmers pay
the freight on every bushel of
wheat we sell, all the way to Liver
pool. No matter if the wheat is
ground into -four atMinneapolis or
Detroit, on rybushsl ofwheat we
market in our state the freight to
Europe is deducted in fixing the
prices allowed us. Now, if, as as
serted, the present Administration
and the Dingley law brought
about the happy conditions alleged
by Mr.. johnson, in our State, what
is the reason they are not contin-
ued? The high price of wheat is .
blessing, or would be at the right
time, for us farmers in North
Dakota. The Administration and
tho Dingley law are in the hey-day
of their supposed usefulness. Why
then, should wheat drop, with this
dull, sickening thud, and those
potent influences quoted by Mr..
johnson apparently unable to ar.
rest tho fall. And if those inAu-
ences so full of alleged promise,
cannot prevent the disastrous fall
in prices, how can it be success
fully asserted or who will believe
when the assertion is made, that
because of a certain Administra-
ton and a certain law, prices have
advanced?
II should think most people
would be tired Of such rot, and it
is astonishing to find statesmen at
this late day making such asser-
tions.
'The fact is nobody has any
wheat to sell in my State at the
time referred to, with the excep-
ton Of a possible few, who are in
such comfortable financial con-
dition as to be able to hold over
crop if they so desire. But the
few. very few, whose financial con-
dition enables them to do that, are
not the ones most in need Of the
benefits flowing from high price.
The people in my State who would
be most benefited, and who need
1t most, for the general good and
welfare, are just the very ones who
don't get such advantage. They
are those, and they comprise four
ffths Of the farmers, who are COM
PEELED to market their wheat as
soon as it is garnered. and you will
find almost invariably the lowest
prices prevailing just about that
time. Our crop is generally ready

since. He sailed on the Adams with
the South Pacific squadron two years

Kong for Manila he Gid not take the
