Tltrt vthe&t crop of tlifi Unitoil Stales
fof 188 was 400,000,000 bushels. It is
easy enough to write the figures, hut a
hard matter for the mind to jrrnsp the
idea of so enormous a quantity. It is
enough to fill to overflowing n Rt'atiai'y a
mile long, a thnusatid feet wide mid tine
hundred feet high. To trnrtspnn It neross
tho Atlantic would t'tMiuire 6,0(K)of tlic
largest ships that sail on the seas; or,
loaded into freight enl's, it would fill
1,250,000 of them, which would make a
train long enough to reach from New
York to San Francisco and hack again.
What becomes of this eiiol'nioUs crop?
Well, a general answer to this question
is not dilUcult. We retain about 230,
000,000 busliels for our own use, to be
ground into flour ami used for seed, and
the balance of 175,000,000 bushels is sent
abroad, chiefly to feed the over-crowded
population of (ireat Britain. It is this
exported balance that is chiefly interest
ing to the American farmer. If it brings
a good price if tho wheat crops of Eu
rope are scanty, so that people must sup
ply themselves from the United States or
go without then the American farmer
gets well paid for his whole crop, botl.
lor what is used hero and what goes
abroad. 15ut if, on tho other hand, the
European crops are plentiful, so that a
very small extra supply is needed, then
the American fanner finds prices low
and his crop for that year unprofitable.
In theory this is absolutely true, but
in practice tin statement needs some
modification. The farmer lias to bear
the full burden of low prices, but most of
the advantage of a rise in value is oftf n
reaped by merchants, speculators and
other middlemen, who stand between
the farmer and the foreign consumer, and
who, foivsec'ng the advance in nrice. btiv
cheap from the former and sell dear to
the latter.
To a certain extent, this condition of
affairs is unavoidable; and, indeed, the
farmer should be the last man to wish
it utterly abolished. The machinery by
which the distribution of the bulky pro
ducts of the earth is accomplished, is not
only one of the wonders ot modern civ
ilization, but il is civilization itself. The
railways that span the continent, that
bridge the vast rivers, and bore their
way through impassable mountains; the
canals that bear hundreds of thousands
of tons of freight slow moving fro.n the
midland country to the sea;' the giant
elevators that do the work of tranship
ment so safely and so speedily; the ships
that cross the ocean ; the telegraph lines
and cables that flash intelligence from
events, and tell the people of one place
what is wan.ed by those of another;
the merchants who meet on 'Change to
buy and sell; the posiolheo; the insur
ance companies that guarantee the mer
chant against the loss of his cargo; all
tho!e are nceessarv agents in the work
of distribution, and are entitled to com
pensation for their labor. Everv one of
them is paid, and justly paid out of the
labors of producers, of farmers, miners
and nianufiu tureis. The trouble is, that
they often get more pay than they are
entitled to, and, growing wealthy by
degrees, become the masters of the pro
ducers, instead of their faithful and effi
cient servants.
To appreciate these truths, it is only
necessary for the farmer to sunnose him
self deprived of the services of any of
i nose ilistriDuttng agents, and see to
what a crinpled condition he would be
reduced. Vithout our canals and rail
ways, the grain crops of the West might
rot upon the land, or be consumed as
fuel; without elevators the annual labor
of transferring grain from one convey
ance to another would be larsrplv in
creased; without the telegraph and the
postollice to carry intelligence, and
newspapers to make it cheaply available
ior ev cry ootty, no merchant could tort-see
what lie was likely to realize on his
shipments, nor what price he could af
ford to pay tho producer; without mer
chants, the farmer would be compelled
to accompany his produce to the very
door of the consumer, to carry with liim
iulilcient money to defray all the ex
penses of transportation and tranship
ment, and to spend the months that
should be occupied in the production of
i second crop in endeavoring to dispose
nf the first.
Let us suppose that we have, in Chi
cago, a lot of wheat, graded as No. 2
Cliicago Spring, which is sold at the
i tiling price of the dav, eighty-six cents
tier bushel. Now. what determines the
price of this wheat?
Itoforc the davs of ocean telegraphy,
iirices depended largely upon guess
work. A merchant who bought grain
in March to send to England, might not
know until midsummer whether he had
realized a profit or loss. He made the
best calculation lie could about the price
.'rain would be likely to bear in the
English market at t..e time his ship
ment should arrive there, and raised or
lowered his prices accordingly, en-.
I'-avoring always to leave himself a
fair margin of profit. Hut nowadays the
Atlantic cable has changed all that. A
merchant in London finds that he can
make a contract to deliver a certain
iU i itity of grain, in London, six weeks
hence, uta certain price. He telegraphs
to a broker in Chicago, ottering to pay
so much a bushel for No. 2 Chicago
Spring what, delivered in London on
a certain date. 1 ho Chicago broker at
once ascertains the lowest rate at which
he can contract with the railway and
steamship companies for transporting
such a quantity of wheat from the ele
vator in Chicago to the docks in London.
Next lie goes upon 'Change to learn at
what price ho can purchase th" grain.
If the cost of the grain in Cliica :o, ad
ded to the expense of transposing to
London, be Jess than the price offered
by t he London merchant, the broker
concludes the purchase, and pockets the
difference, as a remuneration for his
trouble. Hut if the cost of tho wheat
in Chicago, added to the cost of trans
portation, amounts to more than the
London merchant is willing to pay,
then one of several tilings happens. The
price of whe.it may rise in London, the
English merchant making a higher offer,
or it may fall in Chicago, or the rail
way and steamship companies reduce
their rates of transportation, until it be.
comes possible for the broker to effect
sale at a profit; or, if all parties re
main firm in their demands, no sale
takes place, and the wheat market is
said to be inactive. On the other hand,
if the margin of profit left to the broker
is very huge, the Chicago merchants ad
vance their prices, and wheat is said t
be active and rising.
These fluctuations in prices are antici
pated and largely speculated upon by
dealers. Our lot of wheat, for instance,
is only worth eighty-six cents per bushel
to-day; but there are plenty of people
who will agree to give us eighty-seven
cents for it, delivered at the end or a
month, or eighty-eight cents at the end
of three mouths. How do these specu
lators make their calculations, and
foretell a rise or fall? In the first place,
by a careful study of statistics. They
know, very. nearly, what is the stock of
wheat remaining in the entire world,
and where it is. They know how mucli
wheat will be required for consumption
in different parts of the earth within a
given time. Combining, tins lntorma
tioa, they foretell either a scarcity, or an
excessive supply, and foresee a rise or
fall. At-hange i -the rates of transpor
tation, too, is a frequent sub ject of pre
vision; if westward bound freights are
likely to balance those eastward bound,
so that steamer lines and railways will
not bp compelled to run empty in ono
direction, then freights may beexwetod
to fall, and the price of wheat will r"se
at the point of shipment. The abundance
or scarcity of money, also, is to betaken
Into consideration; if money becomes
scarce wheat will fall, wliilo if plenty,
it will rise. And liustly, the present
price of wheat may have been artificially
forced down, or driven up. by specula
tors puro and simple, w ho buy With edit!
hand nnd sell with the other, till they
bring the market to a figure to suit them
selves. From among theso various causes
which govern tho present find future
price of wheat, it is not difficult to select
those that it is possible for the fanner to
comprehend and modify. He cannot re
ceive dally and hourly advices from the
foreign nnd domestic markets: or bar
gain witli railway and steamship com
panies for special rates of transportation ;
or meet his fellow wheat growers upon
'Change to learn how far they arc in
clined to augment or lower prices. All
this is properly the work of tho mer
chants and brokers in the grcnt commer
cial centers, nnd tho profits which they
make by doing it arc justly earned nnd
should bo allowed them uncomplaining
ly. Hut when it comes to calculatinir
the future course of the market, and
even, to some extent, to governing it, tho
farmer stands on equal grounds with tho
merchant, and, in some respects, has even
the advantage. The statistics from which
the merchant makes his calculations tire
equally at his service, enabling him to
foresee tho fluctuatio is of demand ami
supply, ns well as to judge whether
present prices are abnormally high or
low. An intelligent study of the course
of trade will teach him when the great
transportation companies will be likely
to lower their rates, and when they will
be compelled to raise them. And a' care
ful survey of tho financial situation at
different periods will instruct him ns to
the ebb and flow of the supply of money.
Moreover, he will learn that the financial
policy of the country, and tho regulation
of its immense railway system, are mat
ters in which lie lias more than any other
man a vital and abiding interest, which,
as a rule, is. but poorly defended by his
legislative representatives.
Now that our farmers have discovered
the advantages of organization, nnd are
associating themselves into granges,
farmers' clubs and other societies, "we
may hope that tho questions suggested
may receive intelligent consideration at
their hands. Ehricli's Quarterly.

A UoM Mine Swindle.
Hosron capitalists have recently been
swindled out of about $100,000 in con
nection with the purchase of a Brazilian
gold mine, known as tho San Cyriaeo,
The capitalists bought tho mine on tho
strength of samples of "washings"
furnished by an old colored man whose
apparent innocence and ignorance would
disarm suspicion. It was not until the
money was paid over to the Brazilian
owners of the mine that the discovery
was made that it was not a veritable
bonanza. The expert who had been
sent to investigate, and who had previ
ously reported that the mine was very
valuable, closely observed the operations
of the colored " washer." He saw that
the " washings," instead of being rich
in each successive yield, tapered off,
until there was hardly any return what
ever. Then it was seen that there was
fraud somewhere. It appears that the
washer had been in the habit of filling
his mouth with gold-dust. He was an
incessant chewer of tobacco, nnd ho ex
pectorated gold-dust with .the tobacco
juice. Tlie water carnea away tne
latter, and lett tlie particles ot gold
dust, thus indicating a large yield.
When the washer was not closely
watched, he could replenish the stock of
gold-dust with which he " watered " the
earth, but when watched, his supply
soon ran out, and his game was ex
posed, when lie confessed the fraud.
'Salting" mines is not a new tiling;
hut the shrewd Boston capitalists did
not expect that this product of civiliza
tion was highly developed in Brazil.
They have learned, however, nt an ex
pense of $400,000, not to put their trust
in Brazilian mines, "washings" from
which are exhibited by expectorating in
dividuals, and that 1,000 per cent, profit
in a short time from mining operations
cannot always be absolutely depended
upon in advance.

The lato Dr. W. II. Hall, In nn article
about taking care of the eyes, sniil :
Milton's blindness was tlie result of
overwork nnd dyspepsia.
Ono of the most eminent American
divines (tho lato Albert Barnes) having
for some time been compelled to forego
the pleasure nf rending, spent thousands
of dollars In value, and lost years of time
In consequence of getting Up several
hours before dny and studying by arti
ficial light. His eyes never got well.
Multitudes of men and women havo
mndo their eyes weak for life by the too
free use of the eyesight, reading small
print nnd fine sewing.' In view of these
things, it is well to observe the following
rules in tho use of the eyes:
Avoid all sudden change between light
nnd darkness.
Never begin to read or write or sew for
several minutes nfter coming from dark
ness to a bright light.
Never rend by twilight or moonlight,
or of a cloudy day.
Never read or sew directly in front of
the light, window or door.
It is best to have the light fall from
above, obliquely over the left shoulder.
Never sleep so that on the first waking
the eyes shall open on tho light of a
window.
Do not use the eyesight by light so
scant that it requires an effort to dis
criminate. Too much light creates a glare, and
pains nnd confuses the sight. Tho mo
ment you are sensible of an effort to dis
tinguish, that moment cease, and take a
walk or ride.
As tho sky is bluo nnd the earth green,
it would seem that the ceiling should be
a blueish tinge, nnd the carpet greon,
and the walls of some mellow tint.
The moment you arc prompted to rub
the eyes, that moment cease using them.
The Itlcesinii of Strong JVei vea
Is recoverable, nut hy Uie use of mineral se
datives, but by a reoourse to effectual touio
treatment. Opiates aui) the like should only
be used as auxiliaries, and then as sparingly as
possible. Vigorous nerves are quiet ones, nnd
the most direct way to render them so is to
rcintorce tho vital energies. That eterling in
vigomnt Hostettcr's Stomach Bitters, ill be
lound nll-Hufflck'iit for this pnrposo, since it
entirely removes impediments to thorough di
gestion and assimilation of the lood, go that
the body is insured its due amount ot nourish
ment, and consequently of stamina. Itheu
mntic tendencies and affections of the kidneys
and bladder are also counteracted by the Bit
ters, which is besides a pleasant medicinal
stimulant, infinitely purer than the raw ex
citants of commerce, which react injuriously
upon the nervous system.
California,
A Cnliiornia Colony is being lormed at But
fulo, X. T., to settle a tract ot seven thousand
acres in California. Those wishing to know
nil about it nnd California colonies, can learn
by inclosing six cents in stumps to California
Colony, 14 W. Swan Street, Buffalo, N. Y.,
or to Wendell Easton, 22 Montgomery Street,

How to lie neantlrul,"
Jinny hundred thousand dollars are annually
expended by ladies for "artificial " appliances
to hido the shniiJccn and wasted form, or the
sallow skin, blotches, or liver spots, which are
due to female weakness, dyspepsia, torpid liver
and constipation. If a small per cent, of this
sum wcro invested in Dr. Tierce's Favorite
Prescription, Indies would soon really be whut
they now seem to be. It readily corrects those
weaknesses nnd diseases upon which debility
and emaciation depend. It cures dyspepsia by
toning up tho system, nnd when used in con
nection with Dr. 1'ierec s Pleasant Purgative
Pellets, speedily overcomes all irregularities ol
the liver and bowels. No " bloom of youth,"
no " henutifler ot tlfe complexion." can itnnnrt
such permanent beauty of lace and form as
Dr. fierce s health-giving Favorite Prescrip
tion. To he of permanent benetlt a medicine must
reach the sourco ol the disease. Tho reason
why Scovill's Blood and I,ivcr Syrup is so
successful in overcoming scrofulous, syphilitic
and eruptive complaints is that it entirely
roots out those impurities which give rise to
them. The cause of the evil being thus re
moved nnd the normal purity of tlie circulation
restored, tlie skin resumes its original clear
ness, and sores nnd pimple3 disappear. Sold
