John C. Watsox, Walt.M. SEELY, Chairman. Secretary. THE price of wheat has advanced in Fviirope, and our export trade in that cereal is increasing rapidly. Meantime the price of silver bul lion is hardly holding its own. A clear proof of the falsity of the as sumption that the prices of silver and wheat rise and fall together. OUR Kansas exchanges are claim ing that their State has raised this year one-forthieth of the wheat yield of the world, still Peffer Simp son & Co.keep on telling the people of the east what a deplorable con dition the farmers of their State are in. Blue Valley Blade. AN IMPOSSIBILITY. What does the democratic party of Ohio propose as a remedy for the evil condition which are mendaci ously describes in its silver plank? It proposes an impossibility the free coinage of both gold, silver and the double standard. There can be no such thing as a double standard. There may be an alter nating standard, or a single stand ard either of gold or silver, but the standard must always be one or the other of these metals. Free coniage of both gold and silver means the coinage of silver alone, and the adoption of the silver stand ard. Gold would be driv en out of circulation. We would undoubted- ly have plenty of money under the,;.:.. of mach jncjes iust received free coinage policy and doubtless . prices would mount higher by jumps, but at what consequences to trade and industry? The coun-trj-would be Hooded with debased currency, credit would be at an end, and bankruptcy and ruin would complete the work begun by financial lunatics. Detroit Tribune. and then it sometimes becomes very dear to him who listens to it. Friends of the farmers are very plenty just now, especially among those who are willing to sacrifice personal interests for their coun try's good in lilliiigofiices. Among other items ot irratuitous advice given to our "horny handed sons of the field is "store your grain and hold it for higher prices." This is good advice, perhaps for without doubt every grain of food of crop of -1M91 will be granted at good prices, but the advice given doesn't tell his would-be constituent where to store it and how to take care o it. The snrinir wheat crop is esti- ma'tedat lHO.OOO.WX) bushels, which would require 1,800 elevators; each of 100,000 bushels capacity, or 3.WM elevators of ."iO.OOO bushels capacity each, and this last is as large as the country elevators will average Sunnose the crop is divided and only one-half of it is held, it would still require 1,800 elevators. Now, this spring wheat is nearly all grown in the newer portion of the Northwest, where not instead of 3.000 country elevators are found, and many of these have not the proper facilities for handling the new grain as it is handled by our large elevators with their improved machinery. But the latest advice from the "fanners' friend" is to build your own granary and there store your grain for the higher prices. Both of these plans contemplate immedi ate threshing, and not holding in stack, as there is danger of loss by fire when in straw. If the farmer is as poor as his newly found friends claim him to be he can not in every case follow this advice; for he may be living with his family in a "sod house" for want of ability to build a better, and he would be obliged to sell some of his wheat to be able to build his granary. But suppose the country elevator and granaries are all tilled and the grain is held for the expected high price, who shall control the delivery, so as not to "break the market" with the rush, when the panic for selling strikes the thousands of holders? Or where is the man, or the company who will garantee the condition of the grain when it comes out of the elevator or granary where it has lain unmoved for two, three, or six months? It may go in No. 1. or '1, and come out No. 4, or "rejected." Every friend of his country wishes to see the farmer as well as every other laborer get the best possible return for his toil; but the best prices do not always come to him who seeks for all there is in it. Unwise advisers may lead our fanners into unwise measures, and before they decide to hold their grain they must decide where to hold it and how to handle it so as to preserve its oualitv. In the above calculation no consideration was taken of the winter wheat crop, which is esimated at over Se'J,C3J,C3J bushels, or double the amount of the spring wheat; and if all of both kinds is to be held then we must multiply our above figures on elevators by three. But the winter wheat men are older in their busi ness, and are apparently satisfied with present prices, for they are meeting the millers' demands for their grain and freelj' bringing it forward. Whether they expect higher prices or not the indications are that a great many of them pre fer selling and getting out of debt to running any risks by waiting further developments. Inter Ocean. The color line has been estab lished by the Grand Army of the Republic, which has become an or ganization for the looting of the public treasury. The new grand commander, Veazey. ordered that the "niggers" must flock by them selves. There will, therefore, here after be colored encampments, as there are colored schools and col ored churches. Memphis Com mercial. Every word of the above is false. "The color line" has not been estab lished. There will not be colored encampmenfs. It would, in fact, be difficult to state more barefaced falsehoods in the same space. General Veazey was the retiring commander, not the new, and the encampment voted squareljr against the "color line reso.ution.

Tli Poor Man Who Is Continually dial ing th I'liatitom of Wealth llo Cull Never Convince Hi Fellow That' He II aa a Ooixl Thing. There was n hesitating nibble at the dojr knob, then the duor was slowly o(eued and in lie came, looking first at one and then tho others of us. us if i'i search of a friendly or enconrain glance. His clothes were oldbnt well brunhed. and his shoes had seen their let dav. lie was tall, thin and a hungry looking individual, who would scarcely have cast a shadow when aidewise to the light, lie had no doubt seen better days, but now he was of the aiaAS of "shabby genteel" who some way or other manage to exist on the barest pittance. Keniaving an old slouch hat from his head with a npasmodio jerk, he turned to the man who was nearest the door and asked, "la this the place where they patent galluswea and braces?" When informed that it was he seemed pleased to think he had found the right place and asked to see the chief, flat in hand, he sauntered up to the chiefs desk. and after a few remarks about the weather he reached down in his trousers pocket and brought up a contrivance wnicn at nrst giauce looxeu nae an orui- nary snoe horn. With a click and a snap, however, he turned up from the small end a corkscrew. We had all seen him before, and knowing there was fun ahead, by this time there was a general suspension of work and all were intently watching the proceedings. With the fire of genius in his eyes and a tremor in his voice he exclaimed as he held the contrivance up to view: "There's a fortune in that for somebody, but they don't seem to see it. That little thing fills a long felt void. A man always needs a corkscrew in the evening, and after he has drawn the corks and imbiled the contents of sev eral bottles, how would he get his hat on in the morning if it were not for this little hat persuader? USEFUL. I.ITTIE THINGS. 'Both of these little necessaries are here in a neat and compact little device, which, if it were only manufactured and put on the market, would sell like hot cakes." No one seemed to want to take hold of it, however, and a good thing is going begging from the lack of a few dollars to give it a 6tart. People don't Know what they are missing. See that?" and he held out a jack- knife with a patent needle threading at tachment. "Another good thing! Some thing which bachelors have been want ing for a long time, llow many of you can thread a needle? "You all carry a jackknife; every man does. "With one provided with this little attachment of mine any man could thread a needle as good as a woman. "I tried to interest capitalists in this little scheme, but it shared the same fate as the other. One man said he wonld take hold of it if it had bootjack and mouth organ attachments, but as it was he did not want it. Some people are hard to please, but," drawing a bun dle from his coat tail pocket and waving it in the air, "I've got it this time, and "For Ion time, hare I chased th frisky dollar, but it has given me the slin. Thank heaven I have at last found the way to fame and fortune. "Gentlemen," he said, as lie slowly un wrapped the package and held up to our astonished gaze a combination of straps, cords, pulleys, buckles and large red shields, "behold the greatest invention of the age! This is a combined suspender and adjustable liver pad. To show you what it is and how it works I will just slip it on over my coat. There, now, isn't that a grand thing! THE LIVER PAD. "You no doubt perceive the great ad vantage of having the liver pad con nected with your suspenders. The pad is adjustable to fit all livers. "Any one can wear it, no matter where their liver is or where they think it is. How many people know where their liver is? Not many, I warrant you. How would a man who supposed his liver was up under his right arm man age with the ordinary liver pad? He couldn't manage at all; he would die of liver complaint in a month's time. This being adjustable can be shifted to all parts of the body; thus people can have their liver pad wherever they wish it. "Gentlemen, think of the people walk big around today suffering because they cannot cover the Dlace where thev sup pose their Liver to be with the ordinary liver pad. Why, it is a beautiful thing, and with a Sellerslike air he exclaimed: "There's millions in it! Gentlemen, you all being experts in this line must appre ciate its many advantages and possibili ties. "Do any of you want to get rich? To any one who will kindly advance me enough to pay for my patent I will give a half interest in this, the grandest thing of the kind ever dreamed of. It's a chance of a Lifetime, and you shouldn't miss it." No one appeared anxious to invest in liver pads, either through lack of confi eence or of sufficient wealth to do so, or both, and sadly taking it off and wrap ping it up carefully and stewing it away he shuffled out, muttering in an undertone to himself something about "greatest invention of the age fortune's last chance."

Look to the Future ana invest now in South Park. Among other better to invest i reasons why it is n South Park than elsewhere in the citv, are these: Property is most saleable if you wish to sell, more rentable if you wish to rent; if looking for an iu- creas e in value, no other part of the I city will compare with it introspect The 5th ward composed largely of South Park, less than three years ago could hardly muster up a vote at the last general election the vote was 139 and all were not polled. It has been less than two years since the city invited us into the corpor ate limits, yet we have over one hun dred newlj' built house otid others in process of construction, owned , with few exceptions, by the parlies now living in them.
