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 r in making contributions. charge of the wheaf market, and duct things t<> please themselves, promise has been amply fulfilled.

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. 8 00 s 10 00 10 27 2 15 j 3 25 3 50 5 54 6 10 6 40 Ive Birmingham arri 7 00 p i lve....

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 ers get but $500,000, and sorghum mak er* but $40,000. The people at pay this tax.
