TILE CROPS. No two estimates of the present mrvcst ngrco in their figures , Some iredictnn immense short.igo in the American grain products amounting to 200,000,000 bushels. Others ml ( titling that the crops pel acre nrc lest thfui.lost year's , still insist that the in creased acreage of this season , togeth er with the surplus from last , will give is fully as many bushels of wheat for export ns wo had last year. 13oth of hcso views nro probably exaggerated , t is candidly admitted on nil sides lint there is a great deficiency n both spring nnd winter vhcat. In Wisconsin , Iowa , Minnesota , Dakota and California the hortngo in spring wheat is placed nt 12,000,000 bushels. The long , cold viii or nnd Into spring played havoc with the winter wheat. In Illinois nlono the reduction compared with ast year's crop is over 31,000,000 ) ushels. The great winter wheat ; rowing district which stretches along ho western boundary of the Allcgho- lies gives n further shortage of 0,000,000bushols. Taken altogether lie most reliable estimates place the oficioncy in winter whoatntnoi rly7i > , - 000,000 bushels below last years crop , /orn is also n short' crop. In tnnny istricts the corn crop reports nro yen moro unfavorable than the wheat , 'ho increased acreage nnd the time 'oi left for improvement in condition my , however , greatly reduce the ircscnt estimates. The Pacific coast s probably bettor ofTso farns her this 'car's crops nrc concerned than nny ther portion of the country. Al though the harvest in California is not up to the yield of lost year the crop is good , and an immense quantity of last rear's wheat is still on hand which it was then impossible to xport owing to high freights by vcs- ol. This year the revival of railroad > ulldingis { bringing to the Pacific const mtiy vessels loaded with railroad upplics , which will take return ) argos of wheat at reasonable rates. \ is estimated that together Califor- ia nnd Oregon will ship 04,000,000 > ushols. The price of American grain is argoly dependent on the demand rorn foreign countries. Last year lero was aiununonso shortage on the ontinent and our surplus wns easily isposed of at romunorativopriccs.This ear the reports from Europe indicate hat the crops will bo considerably ) otter than they wcro last year. RUB- n-reports wheat eood , and burley ml rye abundant. France will have n inch bettor crop , while Great Dritinn vill fall below the average. But while 10 demand is not so great as it was uring last season , the United States ill have no difficulty in disposing of ny surplus which she may have over vhat they wcro at the corresponding oriod last year. Much of this nd- ance is duo to speculation , but there ro good reasons why thcro nhould bo very appreciable rise in prices and mt an advance of least 25 per cent lould bo maintained during the oming winter. Sioux OITY is up in nrms. The at- cmpt of Omaha to establish closer ommorcial relations with Northern Nebraska has sot the Sioux City deal- rs in hogs and hominy all on their ar. The Sioux City papers are full f promiscuous missiles hurled nt Omaha , and it will soon bo un- afo for any Omaha drummer to ot foot any whore within fifty miles f that belligerent town. Some of ho harmless wads fired from the Qua ker guns by Sioux City swash-bucklers are decidedly amusing. The Sunday Tmmittl fires a whoio column of blank cartridges at Omahu from behind the ramparts of an anonymous "citizen. " \Vo are told , for instance , .hat Omaha dealers can never compote with Sioux City in northern briiska , bocauao ; First- Sioux City lealors buy their goods largely from Uoston and Now York , at the same irico that the goods can bo bought by Omaha deulera , nnd , being nearer to northern Nebraska than Omaha , they an undersell Omaha. Second -The merchants of northern Nebraska tire reminded that Omaha is laboring un- n mountain of debt that is in major | iart unconstitutional , and that Omaha stocks nro taxed nnd re-taxed merely to meet the accruing Interest on this unormoua debt with out providing for the principal. And then wo uro told.that Omaha nut !

J We inferVrom that Bomowliat boast M statement that Onmlm with lie 3TAY .M .W . . .MB jrcat mountain of public debt may after all become a formidable rival for ho trade of Northern Nebraska vhich by rights never should have ( one to Sioux City.

Wherein lion has the Bur. Hopped ? The constitution devolves the du- ies of the president's office upon the ico-presidcnt whenever the prosi- cut is disabled. President Garfield s notoriously unable to perform the utics devolving on him as president. Ir.Arthurhavingbcon duly elected and nstalled us vice-president is under the onstitution charged with performing ho duties of the presidential oflico until the president's disability has eased. It docs not matter whether Tr. Arthur is personally less popular Imn General Garfield ; it docs not natter whether ho does or docs not njoy the respect and'confidenco of the ountry ; ho is our constitutional acing - ing president until General Garfield an rcsuino the active performance ot he duties devolving upon the presi dent.

Jood Times nncl Bettor Comiiig In thoSouth- luHltnore Hun. Ono of the most striking circum- tances of the present time is the vast amount of money that is flowing into ho South , and is being expended in niildiiig now railroads , extending old nes in organizing now industrial on- crpriaes. Wherever there are minor- it treasures to develop , capital in upcnibundanco appears tc be ready o embark in utilizing them , and to onstriict through our branch rail- oads to facilitate the bringing of the iroducts to maikot. The activity nanifested in the valley in Virginia luring the post year has been most omarkablo. Now buildings are going ip in nil directions , new railroads ara ormiiig a perfect not work of iron ines through the gaps of the moun- ains , and now furnaces are cither irojectcd or are under construction. ) no of the most noteworthy of these ndustrial ventures in that of an Eng- ish company which has bought a largo jody of iron-ore lands at some dis- anco from Millboro , where they pro- > ese to build the largest furnaces yet irojccted at the South , bringing there ro to the furnaces by a railroad al- cudy partially graded along the val- oy of Mill creek , and which , when omplcted will pass within two miles if Rockbridgo Alum springs , now only icccssible by stages. All along the ines of the Chesapeake and Ohio and ho Ilichmond and Allegheny roads mid their branches are stretched great rains of coal cars , immense musses jf iron ore waiting shipment , and of imo stored from the quarries near by. 'ho Lowmoor furncces and the Clifton orjjcs are said to bo worked to heir utmost capacity , and everywhere me meets with signs of unpreccdent- d prosperity. Nor is it in the valley ilpno these manifestations of indus- rial progress are found. They may ) o witnessed in other parts of old Virginia stretching from tidewater to ho Tennessee lino. Quito a number of the other southern states are shar- ng in this happy change ; some in the ncruase of cotton manufactories , ithors in mining and smelting of iron ind' ' copper , and in getting out kaolin o bo used in the making of porceliau and other wares , and various arts and nanufactures. It has boon estimated hat no loss than one hundred millions > f dollars have been subscribed at the lorth'within the past eighteen months or investment in the states of the ith cast of the Mississippi river and southland west of Richmond. Within a year $2,000,000 of eastern and other capital have been invested in cotton manufactories in Georgiaulono. Three nillions have boon subscribed in New York for the devolopinunt of coal and ron in Tennessee. Eighteen hun dred thousand dollars have boon put nto cotton mills und stool works in Alabama. All these and many more nycstments are outside of the largo mills expended in buying up and im- nroving old railroads und building lew. Besides these investments > y capitalists in the north- srn , eastern and middle states , European syndicates Imvo entered the field. Ono syndicate the Earlandor is said to have recently bought an mincnso tract of land in Alabama. English capitalists bought , a few days ago , some forty thousand acres in Georgia , and are now seeking an op portunity to invest half a million of dollars moro in other states. What ever may have been heretofore the misfortunes of the southern states , ; oed fortune has now coma to them. I'hoy are having their r-iilroads built chiefly by foreign capital , and whenever - over the people in localities interested show a disposition ) to put their own money into sucli enterprises , they are readily met with liberal backing from other quarters. The risk is , 'there fore , mainly that of others ; and an immense gam derived from the advan tages , commercially and territorially , that railroads give , accrues to the Southern people locally , substantially and without poradvonturo. Sagacious and enterprising men uro developing their mineral resources , and bringing into profitable use their fine water powers to run cotton manufactories adjacent ] jto and surrounded by fields of cotton They thus find a market for their products at their own doors , and work for their people in the ro- t'ion of cheapness. It is a process ol transformation that is now going on , The signs of it uro everywhere visibli throuyli < ) ilt thu South. The nigiiifi- cance of it is too clear to bo mistaken. It is the revival of an entire section of the Union , and its increase in the future in population and wealth will bo commensurate with the activities now making themselves felt on every side. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Harlan and Wilson- Ced&r Rapid * Itvpubllcan , Auguit 25. The Cedar llapids Republican says that the nomination of Mr. Harlan to the state sonatorship "is understood to have an anti-Wilson significance. " Wo know Mr. Harlan's views pretty intimately , and can say advisedly that ho is perfectly friendly to Mr , Wil son and his candidacy , Mid that his nomination has no "anti-Wilson sig nificance" whatever. Ho did not sock nor expect the nomination the Henry county republicans Imvo put upon him , and we dare say has not since it was given to him or when i was given .to .him said a word to any one about * . * - supporting any man for senator. It is a desperate clutch at straws , M wo personally know , for the opponents of Mr. Wilson to try and get any com fort out of Mr. Hnrlan's nomination. Kcokuk Gate City. That may do to talk to the Missis sippi marine ! ) , but 0.1 a good old dea con friend of ours used to say , "it's agin human natur. " Even the most sanctified human nature is scarcely able to exhibit such n sublime degree of Christian forgiveness as the Gate City indicates. Wo are certain Mr. Harlan hasn't softened down his natural .find laudible resentments to wards Mr. Wilson to that extraordi nary decree unless ho expects to die soon. Men don't usually attain to that degree of mellowness nnd heav enly ripeness until they arc just about ready to bo gathered in. Mr. IJarlan seems to bo halo nnd sound for a man of his years , and therefore wo don't quite believe in the Gate City's representation as to his un earthly state of mind. The editor of the Gate City is a young man nnd may never have heard ot some political happenings of the year 187JJ. NVo older fellows have a distinct nnd vivid remembrance of the desperate senatorial struggle that was held nt DCS Moincs that winter , and wo don't believe Mr. Harlan has for gotten it. The contest between Alli son and Harlan wns severe nnd unpre cedented in Iowa's political history. They were very closely matched , but it wns quito generally believed that Mr. Harlan would bo elected. If it been left to the popular vote ho would have been elected by a heavy majority. Mr. Wilson's part in that memorable contest is n matter of record. Ho went into the fight without the ghost of a chance of nn election , gathered up twenty votes , held them in a viselike - like grip , and then at the crisis ot the fight turned them over in n solid phalanx to Mr , Allison , thereby de ciding the contest. That constitutes the well known bond of obligation which holds Mr. Allison and his friends so loyally to Mr. Wilson's sup port in the present senatorial contest , when Mr. Wilson is n candidate in real earnest , nnd not as a decoy duck. It may bo that Mr. Harlan has fully resolved to forgot and forgive , nnd to vote for Mr. Wilsom next winter , but if so wo shall Imvo his obituary duly prepared and ready for insertion at a moment's notice. But wp don't believe - liovo the story. [ Sioux City Journal. If Arthur Succeeds. Denver Tribune. If Vice President Arthur succeeds to the presidency there is but one course which he can pursue. This will bo to decline the resignations of the present cabinet when they are sent in. His succession will bo a sad acci dent. When President Garfield was nominated ho was nominated not so much as n man as n representative of a policy. The issue was squarely fought in the convention , and the men whom Garfa'eld represented won. The policy , the majority of the re publican convention declared , should continue for four years. The man who was chosen to repre sent the great body of the republican party lies at the point of death , shot by an assassin's bullet. Because Vice President Arthur opposed hint , because - cause ho used a national position to further a local fight , because ho in sisted in placing himself in a false light before the republic and the ma jority of his party , the prospect of his unexpected advance made the presi dential tragedy n double shock. Since then , however , ho has recovered some lost ground. It lies within his uower to regain more. Arthur will go into the presidential chair in the event of the president's death , not elected by the people , but elected by the accident of'an ossas- in's bullet. He must step over a orpso. As the head of the ropub- [ can party and as the chief executive I the nation , ho will receive the ornml respect of the nation. It lies with him to change this to a sincere eapect. Just in so far as ho follows n the footsteps of the great man who ios been stricken low ho will succeed. Barbed 'Wire. 5t , Louie Republican. The fight whioh the Iowa farmers are making against the barbed wire monopoly is not limited in its interest and its effects in that state. Every state in the west is concerned in it , and every farmer in the weat has cause for wishing that the monopoly may bo beaten. Experience proves hat barbed wirp is the best material 'or ' farm fencing that can he had , lartly because of its lasting qualities vliou galvanized , partly because ol ts effectiveness in turning stock , und partly because it is exempt from the langer of fires which destroy wooden "encus The material is coming into ronoral use in the western states and .s most highly esteemed.in the prai rie regions where timber is scarce and cattle grazing the leading interest. Hut barbed wire is H patented device nnd the monopoly that controls it ox- actso heavy royalty upon every pouw' of it used. It is the old sewing ma chine patent over und over again it another form ; the invention is so effective as to have become indispensable ponsablo to farmers ; -but the grasping owners , gauging their prices , tuv by the cost of it , but by the needs of consumers , wring from Western farm era the last fraction of a cent poi pound they can foicu them tn pny The Iowa f.irmers aru endeavoring t < overthrow the patent by showing tlm the principle of the- invention was used before the invention was patent oil and it may bo that they will sue cued in the end ; but the monopoly wealthy and powerful ; it uses tin largo Bums of money which it extort from the farmers in the prosecution ngainst them ; and it will continue tin as long as it can maintain its footiiij in the courts , The price charged th Iowa farmers for the wire is ten cent a pound when it is stated that it cai bo made and Bold at a profit of aevci nnd three-fourths cents n pound. Th difference between the two price amounts to forty-livo dollars on over ) ton of wire used which is regards as a heavy nnd unnecessary tar on th farmer. The amount of wire ncedcc in the state in the next ton years j estimated tit 150,000 tons a year , am the difference of two nnd one-fourt cents n pound calculated on this wi ! amount to $0,750,000 which is th extra toll a single state must pay fo the privilege ef using a fencing mater iallimt has become indispensible , Th own Stnto Farmers Protcctivo asso ciation is the ngcncy through which ho farmers of the state nrc making ho battle against the monopoly and every western farmer's earnest wishes will be on its side.
