THE WHEAT FLURRY-
It would 80eru that the experience of
the last liftmen or sixteen months would
protect the people of this country against
any recurrence of the speculative fever.
The scarcity of money has been caused
chiefly by overmuch speculation, and
the following collapse. The lesson has
been a severe one, and it ought to be
taken to heart, hut it appears not to
have been by everybody.
For some days it has been evident that
the speculators were going to take | »omewl»at »1<
MOKE ••BOODLE” WANTED.
The complaint usual in the first weeks
of a campaign, that money is badly
needed and that it is coming in very
slowly, is now heard from Ohio. Maj.
McKinley is reported to be in great
need of money, aud those expected to
furnish it are said not to be exhibiting
the proper measure of liberality.
There is, of course, more or less strat
egy In this. It is put out to stimulate
the liberality of tiie classes from whom
corruption funds must come. The fa
mous “fat-frying letter” of three years
ago was provoked by the slowness with
which contributions came in at the be
ginning of the campaign It takes more
or less pressure to make the benefici
aries of class legislation give up a por
tion of their gains. It is well-known
that gratitude is a somewhat feeble in
centive to action; so much so that a sa
tirist has defined that moving force
which commonly passes for gratitude as
“a lively anticipation of favors to
come.”
There is, indeed, a special reason this
year why the manufacturers should be

a rapidity sufficient to take away the j time to repeal or materially to alter the
breath of slow and thoughtful men Kv- law. This was grateful intelligence to
cry thing favored tire bulls, and the bears
were gored to death.
At such a time the holders of wheat
■should not forget their caution. All of
this flurry is due to the fact that Europe
is expected to take nearly, if not quite,
-200,000,000 bushels of wheat from the
United States. But that was kuowu a
week, two weeks, three, four weeks ago,
and there is no roason why people
should lose their heads now over it auy
more than they did then. It is probable
that the wheat situation in America and
Europe will justify an advance, but it
should come gradually, and not in this
explosive manner.
AKOi r COTTON.
It is an interesting question, whether
the present low price of cotton is owing
to over production < r general stagnation
of trade. If the latter, there may be
hope for better prices before the new
crop is brought to market. But the’re
seem to bo good reasons for believing
that the formei is the real cause.
Last year’s crop, which has not yet
all been marketed, will reach 8,7.*>0,000
hales, the largest ever raised, and the
growing crop, it is estimated, will he
equally as great. It may be true that
the world needs all the cotton in sight,
but when the staple is so abundant
the world can get it at Its own figures,
and proposes to do so.
At any rate, it would not be wise on
the part of the producer to hold the
new crop, anticipating a rise in prices.
TO REDUCE EXPENSES.
The Alliance people of Macon county
aro strongly opposed to the county
court, and aro making an effort to have
it abolished. By investigation it has
been discovered that tho court’s ex
penses amount to about $1,100 a year.
The people contend that the business
can bo done in tho superior court for
$500. Hence the move to abolish tho
county court.
Tiie individual who has sottled down
to the belief that Volapuk has become
one of tho dead languages will have to
unsettle himself. The North American
Volapukists have just closed a success
ful meeting at Chautauqua, X. Y. The
executive session was entirely in Vola
puk, and throe interesting lectures wore
delivered in the same lively lingo. The
climax of the occasion was reached, how
ever, when Madamo Belle Hole, tho Bos
ton prima donna, puckered up her pretty
mouth and sang a Volapuk edition of
the “Star Spangled Banner” before
5,000 people in the great amphitheatre.
Volapuk will continue to amuse more or
less idle poople for hwhile longer.
This from tho Chattanooga Times is
rather tough on the memory of L. C.
Ilouk as well as the fame of the son who
aspires to succeed him in congress: “It
was hardly necessary to tell the people
that the Republicans of the second con
gressional district of Tennessee ‘do not
take to religious men’—that Is, good
men, clean men. They os instinctively
dislike a gentleman in politics up there
as a Five Points tough detests s refined
man, who wears clean linen, reputable
raiment and polished shoes. Past history
demonstrates these facts, and it wasn’t
necessary to proclaim the truth to the
humiliation of our esteemed neighbors.
Ex-Czar Reed declares himself for
Mr. Mills, of Texas, in the speakership
race. No doubt ho sincerely hopes to
sec Mills, who would prove an utter fail
ure, as his successor. The contrast
would verily make a very great man of
the ex-speaker.—Birmingham News.
Two aeronauts who jumped from bal
loons with parachutes were killed Sat
urday. One was a man named Johnson,
at Tacoma, Wash., the other a girl, An
nie Harkies, who fell near Cincinnati.
The only wonder U that snch accidents
are not more frequent
Prop. Hunnicutt has made money
farming in Georgia. He paid $10 an
sere for land which he now rents oat at
$10 an acre. He says the more he Im
proved his land and the more he spent
on it the greater hla percentage of earn-
1 the protected classes, who naturally ex
pected that the exactions for party ex
penses would thereafter he less onerous.
It was, indeed, suggested at the time by
the Democratic press that these assur
ances were imprudent, and that they
would be retracted*when the time for fat-
frying should come around again. This
prediction is now on the point of ful
filment.
It is necessary that the protected man
ufacturers shall be roused from the
security into which they were lulled by
the assurance that the McKinley bill was
safe from repeal before the close of the
century. That this will be done admits
of no doubt, but some time will be neces
sary to accomplish it. The admission
will have to be made that the statement
that the tariff question was settled for
ten years was too sanguine. This may
be a painful thing to do, but there seems
no way to avoid it. It will be
urged, of course, with a certain degree
of plausibility, that it was impossible
to foresee tliejtremendous explosion of
popular wrath that followed the passage
of the great monopoly tariff act of 1800,
and that the loss of the house and the
reduction of the Republican majority in
tho senate have greatly changed the as
pect of political affairs. The manufac
turers will now be assured that there is
imminent danger that the wicked free
traders will sweep the country and cap
ture both tbe presidency and tho senate,
thus sweeping away at one fell swoop
all the rewards granted to the men who
furnished tho money to buy the election
of 1888. The protected classes will now
ho told that as “crowns bought with
blood must be by blood maintained,” so
elections carried by boodle must be fol
lowed by the expenditure of more boodle
to preserve their fruits. Accordingly,
we may expect the monopolists to re
spond again to the call for money, and
to make themselves whole, wherever it
is possible, by reducing the wages of
their employes, or importing cheap
workmen from abroad.

There is every reason in the world
to look for lively times in the near fu
ture. Tho biggest wheat crop ever
grown in this country by probably 25,-
000,000 bushels, and the Indications are
that it will be sold for the biggest price
ever realized. Besides this, all other
crops aro good, fine in fact, and the
measure of our harvests promises to be
full, pressed down and running over.
Our exports will be immense. Money
galore is coming into the country, and
will bring good, times with it. Look out
for the boom!
The Louisville Courier-Journal ex
presses tho opinion that when the ad
ministration comes to think of it steps
will be taken to discourage rain-making
by exploding dynamite in the clouds,
because if tbe Democrats discover that
the testsjare successful,they will explode
several hundred pounds of dynamite in
each of the doubtful states on election
day and produce a down-pour of rain
that will keep the Republican voters
away from the polls.
The continued hot spell is explained
on the ground that Uncle Jerry Rusk
is taking holiday. lie is at his farm in
Wisconsin and has left the weather bu
reau to subordinates, who seem to have
let the thing get out of shape.
The Republicans say the New York
importers will send $500,000 to Ohio to
beat McKinley. If they do, it will only
offset the corruption fund raised by the
manufacturers to elect him. Of such is
American politics.
There was au awful cyclone, so to
speak, of crime last week. More than
100 murders in the United States Is the
dreadful record. Dog-days make mad
men as well as mad dogs.
Under the sugar bounty the south
gets $9,640,375. The beet sugar grow
