FACTS ABOUT WHEAT.
I'lir Inrrrsiie In Price Help* the
Fnrniers nni! f luWs llie Frte
Sll \ rrllM,
A few years oco w heat was selling for
less than 00 cents a bushel. The low
price was not due to the fall in that of
silver, but to the existence of a supply
in excess of a demand at remunerative
prices. Wheat was selling yesterday
for $1.50 a bushel. The sole reason
for the advance of 150 per cent, is that
the demand is in excess of the supply.
The war has nothing to do with it. The
conditions which prevailed four years
ago have been changed radically.
It happened thatatthattime there had
bten a succession of good crops in the
wheat-producing countries of the world.
The wheat acreage had been increased
greatly. Countries like India and
Australia, which prior to the opening of
the Suez canal never dreamed of send
ing wheat to Europe, became heavy ex
porters of that grain and serious com
petitors with the United States. The
fertile lands of Argentina were reduced
to cultivation rapidly and that country
became an extensive wheat exporter.
The inevitable effect of this rivalry for
the business of supplying Europe with
the grain needed by it over and above
what it produced was to beat down the
price to unprofitable figures.
But in 1896 and 1597 t here came a sud
den change in the situation. The Indian
crops failed and there was a famine
there. The locusts and bad weather
played havoc in Argentina. There was
a terrible drought in Australia, and that
part of the world, from being an ex
porter of wheat, became an importer.
The Australians had to draw on the Pa
cific coast of the United States for their
supplies and have had to pay
in gold for what they got. Much of the
California wheat used togo to Europe
for mixing purposes, the millers blend
ing it with the softer grain from other
regions. The Australian demand h:is
deprived the millers of that source of
supply. Bussia is another great wheat
exporting country, but the crops turned
out badly there—both of wheat and of
rye, the latter being the cereal chiefly
used for food purposes in northern Eu
rope. During the last eight months
this country has shipped over $5,000,000
worth of rye to Europe to meet the de
mrnds of a population accustomed to
live on it, instead of wheat. In Uus
sia. Germany, and other parts of the
continent, and in Great Britain, the har
vests last year disappointed the culti
vators. Nor was the wheat crop of tiie
United States last year as large as it
was thought it would be at one time.
The farmers in some sections had unfa
vorable weather at the last moment.
The advance in the price of wheat be
gan in the late summer of IS9O. It
plagued the Bryanites a good deal, and
they attributed it to manipulation of
the markets by Mark Ilanna. That
advance was simply the first indica
tion that the demand for wheat was be
ginning to catch up with and outrun
the supply. The population of the
world had been increasing at the rate
of one per cent, a year. The produc
tion of wheat had been decreasing on
account of crop failures. The crops
have continued to be short since the rise
in price began, and hence wheat has
gone up to $1.50 a bushel.
While that price is not to eon tinue in
definitely, it is certain that cheap wheat
need not be looked for in the near fu
ture. The American farmers need have
no fears about not receiving remunera
tive prices for the wheat they are go
ing to harvest this year. Frr by the
time their grain is marketed there will
be nothing left over from the crops of
1597. There will not be stored up here
and there great surpluses to exercise
a depressing effect on prices. There
will be a lively demand for the IS9S
wheat to meet immediate needs, and
i;ince the European buyers like to have
large stocks in sight, so as to be able to
meet contingencies of crop failures,
these buyers will purchase heavily to
replenish their exhausted reserves.
The American farmers will bear in
mind also the fact that the domestic
demand is increasing. The population
of the tJnited States is growing at the
rate of 1.500,000 a year at this time.
That means an increased home con
sumption of 7,500.000 bushels. There
will be that much less wheat to be dis
posed of abroad.
As long as wheat stays up, as it is
certainly bound to for some time to
come, corn will bring a good price. In
view of the grand scale on which that
cereal is grown in the United States this
is a matter of great congratulation to
the agriculturists. And when corn is
up meat is up also. Cattle, sheep and
poultry brinsT better prices, and those
who raise them for the market do not
think this is such a had world to live
in after all. and do not lend so ready an
ear to the destructive sophistries of the
Bryanites.
The farmers are in clover. They had
ii hard time of it a few years ago, but
they are having good times now and
there is no likelihood of a charge in the
situation. The Bryanites view ftiis
prosperity with sour faces. Agricul
tural adversity has been their stock in
trade for some years and now they are
deprived of it. One of their pet argu
ments for a free silver debasement of
the currency lias been taken violently
from them by the advance in the price
of wheat and other farm products.—Chi

FINANCIERING OF SILVERITES.
A ItunKcriMiN Scheme far ftiilslni;
ltevenue l» Carry I»n
(lie War.
When the silver majority of the sen
ate finance eoniinittee decides to striji
out- the bond provision from the rev
enue bill it is important to know what
they propose to substitute therefor. It
is a very excellent idea that this genera
tion shall pay for the present war. We
can consequently view with complacen
cy the rejection of the proposition to
borrow u»om*y on long time.
But let it be remembered that some
money must be borrowed for some
length of time if the treasury is cot to
lie depleted of its cash and gold re
serves. The war revenue measures pro
posed will require time to come intc
effective operation. They cannnot pos
sibly be put into full effect until well
after the beginning of the next fiscal
year, and we are at the moment in the
very thick of the war. The great ex
penditures contracted in connection
with the enlargement of the navy and
the addition of an auxiliary fleet and
in connection with the increased arma
ment, ammunition, stores and move
ment of troops have as yet hardly begun
to be met in actual payments out- of
the treasury; and there now enters the
government service a volunteer army
of 125,000 to 135,000 men, who inust be
fed, clothed, equipped, transported
about and paid from this time forth to
the end of the war. If the government
should settle all the bills already ac
cumulated against it on war account
the treasury cash balance of less than
$220,000,000 would sink at once to $170,-
000,000 or lower, leaving only $70,000,-
000 aside from the minimum gold re
serve for a working cash balance, part
of which is composed of unavailable
fractional coin. And such a large work
ing balance would be none too large for
times of peace. In the midst of war,
with extraordinary current claims ac
cumulating against the government on
all sides, it would be a balance quickly
disposed of in the absence of u new
stream of revenue pouring into the
treasury.
Thus the government must be pro
vided with immediate sources of war
money if the minimum gold reserve of
$100,000,000 is not to be drawn upon to
meet current outgoes. And new taxes
cannot be made fully available for
months to come. If, therefore, the gold
reserve is to be maintained unimpaired,
the government must make temporary
borrowings of money if it does not bor
row on long time or on bonds. The
majority of the senate finance com
mittee would negative long-time inter
est-bearing loans. But if they would
agree to short-time borrowings little
fault could be found with them. What
they urge, however, is the issue of non
interest-bearing treasury notes. This
is not a short-time loan, but a perpet
ual one. No date is fixed for the ma
turity and payment of the notes. They
are to be a circulating currency and
would differ in no respect from the
greenbacks save the legal tender quali
ty, which is not, as we understand the
matter, to be attaehed to the notes.
The scheme is simply one of infla
tion. and against it the sound money
force in congress should set its face
immovably. We cannot charge the sil
ver majority with trying to wreck the
gold standard by forcing the govern
ment to expend the gold reserve in
maintaining the army and navy. But
its substitute scheme of increasing the
volume of the government's demand
liabilities is hardly less threatening,
and should not be agreed to. Give the
secretary of the treasury authority to
Usve one-year three or three and one
half per cent, exchequer notes to piece
out the revenues pending the taking ef
fect of ample war taxes. That is the
best policy, and no less than that should
be insisted upon as a substitute for the
bond provision.—Springfield (Mass.)
Republican (Dem.).
COMMENT AND OPINION.
CTFour Mexican silver dollars will
still buy a bushel of wheat, but there
is no certainty that the tremendous gap
between wheat and silver will not grow
wider. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
CThe Mexican silver mine owners
show more sense than those of the
United States. The former do not
bother their heads about "international
bimetallism" or the reopening to silver
of the Indian mints. They do not ap
peal to the United States or any other
foreign nation to authorize the free
coinage of silver in the expectation that
the price of that metal would thereupon
advance 150 per cent. —Chicago Inter
Ocean.
Cv'A war for humanity is being con
ducted by the national republican ad
ministration so skillfully and capably
that the whole world stands almost
transfixed with wonder. Military and
naval experts throughout the world ex
press their admiration of the manage
ment of the contest, and praise of
American valor rings round the world.
The republican party may justly turn
to its own record it) the confidence that
it will lie approved by the people.—Al
bany Journal.
debasement of the currency
which the free silverites in the senate
are seeking to secure would necessitate
the payment of the American soldiers
and sailors in rotten money. The free
silverite senators do not mind that.
The persons who have made contracts
with the government to build it ships
or furnish it supplies would be com
pelled to throw up those contracts or
execute them at great loss, Those sen
ators do not mind that. Their goal is
a 40-cent dollar and party advantage.
They see nothing else. The war with
Spain is not for them a means for the
liberation of Cuba and the punishment
of Spain for the treacherous destruc
tion of the Maine. They see in it only
an opportunity to carry out their de
structive. malignant financial policy. —
Chicago Tribune.
A SECOND CALL.
The President for 75,000
More Volunteers.
The Proclamation nan a Surprise to Nearly
All Army Officers—The Term of En
listment 1* for Two Yearn—The
Call Doc m Not l.imit Enlist
ment to the Militia.
Washington, May 26. —The event of
Wednesday in the war situation was
the issuance of a proclamation by the
president calling for 75,000 more volun
teers, to serve for two years unless
sooner discharged. It added a stirring
phase to the lethargic conditions which
have prevailed of late and came with
unexpectedness even to many high offi
cials in the army. The proclamation
means not only the assembling of a
large force of troops, but also the ap
pointment of a number of major gen
erals, colonels, majors and staff and
field officers, for the organization of
this additional force of 75,000 men into
army corps, divisions, brigades and
regiments.
The call was not due to any latent
or serious emergency, but was rather
in the line of getting together a large
body of men to be drilled and seasoned
and to constitute a sort of second re
serve to be drawn upon later when the
campaigns were fully under way. Sec
retary Alger stated that the deter
mination to issue the call had not been
reached until Tuesday. Coining thus
unexpectedly the war department had
made no preparations for executing
the call, and it will be some days be
fore the details are worked out as to
the quotas from each state, the calls to
the.respective governors of states, the
mustering points and the general
points of concentration.
All that is settled thus far is that the
enlistments are to be thrown open and
are not to be restricted to the militia
organizations of the several states. It
will be an encouragement to the or
ganization of independent volunteer
companies and regiments. These will
retain their identity to a certain ex
tent as state troops, as the governors
will have the appointment of all com
pany and regimental otficers, while
only the brigade, division, corps and
staff officers will be appointed by the
president.
The 75,000 men will suffice for the
formation of 75 regiments. With three
regiments to a brigade, which is the
present basis of organization, this will
make 25 brigades. In turn, eight di
visions of three brigades each will be
formed, and out of the eight divisions
the entire force will be divided into
three army corps.
The new force will require, either by
appointment or by officers already ap
pointed, three major generals and
about 24 brigadier generals. The law
authorizes the president to appoint
one major general for each army corps
and one brigadier general for each
brigade. Brigadier generals are also
assigned to command divisions when
the organization advances to that
stage. The colonels,lieutenant colonels,
majors, captains and lieutenants are
appointed by the governors of the
states.
It was stated at the war department
that the details for the work of organ
izing this new force would not be act
ively taken up for the present. Just
low the adjutant general's office is en
gaged in completing the enlistment of
the 125,000 volunteers under the first
call. It will take some time to com
plete this work, and not until then
,vill the real work of organizing the
volunteers under the second call begin.
THE OREGON ARRIVES.

Washington, May 20.—Secretary of
the Navy Long mudc the important
announcement yesterday of the safe
arrival of the battleship Oregon at
Jupiter Inlet, Fla., about midnight
Tuesday night. The Marietta and the
Buffalo were with the Oregon. The
warships left Jupiter Inlet at 4 o'clock
Wednesday morning.
The locating of the Oregon came
about by means of the beach watchers
who are on the alert for the approach
of hostile ships. These beach patrols
continue night and day, and Tuesday
night the patrol was rewarded by
sighting the American battleship. Sig
naling was begun by the use of torches,
and in this way messages to and from
the battleship were exchanged
throughout the night. In turn these
messages were sent to the navy depart
ment, which is connected by direct tel
egraph line with the signal station
near Jupiter Inlet.

Key West, May 27.—The battleship
Oregon arrived here Thursday, ('apt.
Clark and other officers of the Oregon
came ashore and reported all well on
board and the ship in good condition.
The Oregon picked up the cruiser
Marietta and the dynamite cruiser
N'ictheroy between Kio Janeiro and
Baliia, but parted company with them
after a few hundred miles.
Alarming rumors met the Oregon at
every port. At Bio Janeiro her crew
heard a report that dynamite had been
found in the coal, and at Callao the
officers were informed that plans had
b ">n discovered to blow up the ship.
All these reports proved groundless.
During the entire trip the crew ex
pected to meet the Spanish. Only onve,
however, was there a call to arms.
This was shortly after midnight on
leaving iiio Janeiro. As the Oregon
was plowing through the sea, a dark
object was discovered ahead. The call
to quarters was sounded, the men
rolled out of their berths with the en
thusiasm of boys on a circus day.and
every gun was manned. The Oregon
left her course, and circled around her
black pursuer, only to find it a harm
less bark instead of a Spanish warship.
Back to their berths crept the men
with mutteringsof disgust.
At Kio Janeiro, ("apt. Clark was told
that the Spanish torpedo boat Teme
rario was following him. This report
gave new interest to the trip for a day
and a night, but at the next port of
call he was informed that the Teme
rario had gone into dry dock at Kio
Janeiro after the departure of the Ore
gon.
The cruise through the straits of
Magellan was interesting, it was at
this far southern point of the Ameri
can hemisphere that the crew expected
to receive a visit from the Spaniards,
in many places the channel is very
narrow and crooked, with hidden bays
and coves, and, back of them, moun
tains tower into the clouds on either
side. Moreover they were in the land
af icy winter.
The Oregon's 25 officers and her crew
•jf 450 seamen were well and happy
when the battleship cast anchor off
Sand Key lighthouse yesterday. The
Oregon is in first class shape and ready
for another cruise as long as the one
just ended.
AN UNPATRIOTIC LETTER.

Hccause of the War.
Philadelphia, May 27.—There was an
outburst of popular indignation here
Thursday, caused by the discovery that
the I'niversal Peace union, which is
permitted by the city to occupy rooms
in Independence hall free, had for
warded to the queen of Spain a letter
expressing sympathy. The letter,
which is signed by Alfred 11. Love,
president, is dated Independence hall,
Philadelphia, April 21, 1S!»S. and is ad
dressed to the queen regent of Spain
and Senor Sagasta, premier, Madrid,
Spain, it says:
"It is in our hearts to say, as the
Universal Peace union, representing
many thousands of friends of peace in
all parts of the world, and from the
United States, that we have appreci
ated your many concessions in this
Cuban trouble in behalf of peace, and
we want you to hear from the people,
the real representatives of the Ameri
can heart, that we believe all that
is desired could be obtained by peace
ful means.
"O, how you would elevate your na
tion. What a contribution to this age
of intelligence if you could send a
message to America. Our hearts are
full of sympathy for you, in your no
doubt embarrassed position, but the
right will sustain you. Our country
would receive you if your people rebel
in your efforts to avail of any opening
to still avert war, and meet the de
mands of humanity, freedom and
peace.''
When this unpatriotic utterance was
placed in the mails it was sent back
from Washington to President Love,
the postal authorities refusing to trans
mit it. President Love, however, in
formed a reporter that he had outwit
ted the government and forwarded it
in "a roundabout way." It was in the
room of this society that the Spanish
flag was discovered hanging in the
center of the room. The flag was
taken down after a newspaper reporter
had called the attention of the author
ities to it.

Lake Crystal, Minn., July 31st, 1897.
April sth, 1892, my little boy, just four
years old, was terribly scalded by falling
backward into a pail full of boiling water.
He fell into it in such a manner that he re
mained doubled up until his mother, who
was in the next room, could come to his res

skin and flesh came off in strips, and the
mother's hands were badly burned. The
skin came off his body from above the middle
of the back to below the calves of his legs.
The burn was deep and the case desperate.
For two months he was under the care of our
family physician. We then took him to St.
Paul and acting under his alvice called in one
of the leading surgeons of the city, who took
the case in charge. Other physicians were
called in consultation; sixty pieces of skin
were grafted at one time, yet notwithstand
ing all the skill of the doctors and the most
unremitting care, two months afterwards all
hope had been given up. For months he
had lain on pillows with his face down and
suffered terribly. He had no appetite and
could retain nothing on his stomach.
The sores were indolent and for two
months had lain perfectly dormant. My
attention was then called to Allen's Ulcerine
Salve, and in desperation, ready to try any
thing that promised help, we commenced its
use. Results were apparent at once. It at
once aroused the sores to action and stimu
lated a healthy discharge. We kept the
boy's strength up with a preparation of
beef's blood and wine, and in about two
months he was well on the road to recovery,
and we were able to remove him back to our
home. Thirteen months from the time he
was injured he was perfectly restored. It
has been over four years since the cure was
effected and the boy is perfectly well and
remarkably strong and active. I believe
that Allen's Ulcerine Salve saved his life, as
when we commenced its use all hopes had
been given up, and blood poisoning was ex
pected to set in any moment. It was four
months after he was burned before we be
gan to use the Salve. Signed, H. E. WOODS,
