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

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. "

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.
