THE PRICE OF WHEAT.
... There are so many complex and vari
able factors affecting the markets of the
world that the wise -wheat raiser will
- hot place too much crcdenco in the posi
. tive deductions of statisticians and their
prophetic forecasts, says the Review,
but will trust to his own business sa
gacity as to the proper time to sell his
wheat for what he believes will . be the
highest price. - ,
The highest August prices paid for
wheat since the Crimean war were $1.55
in 1867, $1.71 in 1872, and $1.80J.j in 1875.
Last year's crop, with the prospect of
universal shortago in the world's supply
to be made up by America's phenomen
al yield owing to the Russian famine,
brought less than nn average of 90 cents
' at New York. . - "'..--.' ' ,
According, to- present prospects the
crop of this year ought to sell ior nearly
as much as the crop of last year. But
one man's judgment is as good as that
of another in a matter so uncertain, and
the prudent man will not venture pre'
- dictions that may hit wide of the mark
There is, however, reasonable certainty
.that the returns to the wheat
. growers ' of . the Inland Empire
i'will be as large as last year. ; This
" not due to an exceptionally large yield
nor will it be due to exceptionally high
prices,-but to increased acreage which
will bring the aggregate up to a most
encouraging figure. So the farmc
after all, lias less grounds for complain
. and calamity foreboding, than millions
of his less fortunate fellow-men, even
in our own country.
Iu presenting some indisputable facts
today, respecting previous remarkable
yields of wheat in the United States, in
eluding 1891, it is shown that instead of
a shortage ; because of the famine scare
American holdings caused a large sur
plus, as Europe supplied itself from
other sources. Hereafter, let ua liopa,
the crank famine crop statisticians will
be given the place they deserve in pop
ular estimation.

LITTLE
0 IRISH HISTORY.
Work on the first locomotive of the
new single rail railroad, now being
.bnilt in Portland, is nearing comple
tion. Uork was greatly delayed by the
death of Mr. 55. T. Wright, who was
deeply interested in the new invention
but other parties have been interested
and the system will soqn be perfected
xne oia oi mis moniu nas been eet as
the day for testing the locomotive, at
which time, it is expected, tiie locomo
tive wfl1 have been completed.
Grand Master Sweeney Las expressed
himself 6omewbat vigorously upon the
brutality of the New York militia in
dealing with the strikers, but so far
known, he has wot yet pronounced
opinion upon the striking switchman
who held him up against - a telegraph
post, blacked his eye, and otherwise dis
figured his countenance.
mere is to-day riding at quarantine,
in Now York harbor, eight large passen
ger steamers from cholera-infected
ports of the Old World This mildly
suggests the influx of an immigration to
which, perhaps, something as strenuous
as quarantine rrgulations might have
been profitably enforced during eeveral
years past. '
Inquisitive reporters have to be kept
from boarding cholera ships in New
York quarantine by the use of guns in
the hands of the harbor police; but
when the captain of the Moravia went
ashore, on Staten island, he was simply
ordered back to bis vessel.
A.prominent democrat, in addressing
the democratic convention held at Rath
drum, Idaho.recently bi ought forth Dan
iel O'Connell to testify against the pro
tective system. The object in view, of
course, was to hold-ftp an example for
emulation,, so that Irish-Americans
might have.no conscientious scruples in
being loyal British frce-tradersv.
O'Connell never was a ireo trade ad
vocate. During his whole lifetime he
opposed the British free trade system.as
applied to the industries of -Ireland.
Thomas Francis Meagher, the associate
of McCOnnell on the repeal association,
who became in after years a famous gen
eral in the" federal 'army -of the United
States, spoke long ago in Ireland as fol
lows on the result of British free trade
in Ireland :
Thn nhnliHon of native government.
followed by British free trade, were, the
underlying causes of the -famine. The
leading Irish industries have been de
stroyed bv free trade. The cotton man
factories of Dublin, which employed
14.000 operatives, have - been destroyed.
The stuff and . serge manufacturers,
which employed 1491 operatives, have
been destroyed. The calico looms, Hal
hiiggan, have been destroyed. -The
flannel manufacture of Kathdrum has
been destroyed. The blanket manufac
ture of Kilkenny, has been destroyed
The camlet trade of Bandon, which pro
duced 100.000 pounds: a year, has been
destroved. : The worsted and stuff man
ufactures of Waterford . have . been de
stroyed. The sateen and frieze manu
factures of Carreckon-Suir have been
destroved. One business alone thrives
and flourishes and fears no bankruptcy.
That favored, and privileged, and pa
tronized business is the Irish coffin-
makers.
':' This shows what British free trade
has done for . Ireland. It . is a self
evident truth that similar causes pro
duce similar results. Apply the same,
or a similar system of .free - trade, to
American industries and the result will
certainly be similar to the result of free
trade in Ireland. It would be wo'l that
Irish-Americans who vote for free trade
in this country ponder over, the forego-"
ing picture of their native land as the
result of British trade."'; When they do
so they will act with, the republican
party as earnestly as ever they battled
in defense of the republic in war times,
and thus establish their fealty to prin
ciples which, had they been fostered by
Britain, instead of subdued, might have
made Ireland the model Nation oi the
earth. : " . . . ..

". The working, of the tariff is a wonder
fully economical arcument in-favor of
the McKinley law. The United States
government is now collecting not a dol
lar mote than is actually needed to meet
the expenses of the government and leave
a respectable balance. .Our receipts for
the last fiscal year were iu round num
bers 354,000,000 and our expenses were
$ 345,000,000.Of the receipts $178,000,000
was contributed by the customs duties
under the McKinley law. Instead of
the balance each year growing larger it
is actually growing less! Our balance
'for the fiscal year 1891 was f37,000,000.
Our balance . for the fiscal year just
closed was only $8,000,000. These are
the indisputable facts; and, to be con
sistent, it stands our democratic friends
in hand to show us how they propose to
reduce duties: any with this situation
confronting them. They profess to favor
the collection of tariff duties of sufficient
revenues' to meet the wants of the go4
eminent, ana yet inesuguiesc reduction
in tariff. duties, will necessarily come
from the small surplus of only about
$8,000,000 which we now have to go on.

A .New York dispatch says- nothing
can now rave' the metropolis- from the
great plague . but -the absolute compli
ance on the part of every member of the
community with the instructions of the
board of health and quarantine authori
ties. The danger is real ; it cannot be'
overestimated. Newly infected steam
ships arrived in the harbor on Saturday,"
as anticipated,, with' awful stories, of
death and suffering. They were. the,
Rugia and Normania, both from Ham
burg. The IIerald's Munich cable has
an interview with 1'rof. echwenniger,
one of the most celebrated doctors, upon
I he subject of cholera, in which lie says,
in healthy -p.aces,; 51ean towns, and
among the' well-nourished, the malady
will amount.to but little. In that case
there may be ten, or only one. cholera
case, according to tho size of the popu
lation, but not thousands, as in Ham
burg.' If yen become ill, drink.'as hot
as ever you can, grog, camomile tea, or
no matter what, Provided it Is hot.
Then, if yonr limbs grow- cold, plunge ',
into a steaming hot bath. Should these
produce no etlect then place vourse f in
the hands of God, for those are the only ;
remedies known to be efficacious. The
doctors can do nothing, but don't bo
afraid of cholera. ' -

OI. H- Young,
The conditions on board the passen
ger steamships in isow York' show a
culpable neglect of public safety in the
way they -ship steerage passengers to
America, which congress will, be com
pelled to recognize at the very first op
portunity. Accounts show that there
were fifty Russians among the passen
gers of the City of Berlin, suspected of
being affected, as the circumstances at
tending the case show, and the only pre
caution taken to prevent disease was the
herding of them "separate from other
passengers during tht voyage." . The
Rugia, from Hamburg, is dne today,
also the City of Rome, from 'Glasgow, j
both of which have a large number of
immigrants on board. The Normandie,
from Hamburg, is also due,, and the
Umbria, from Liverpool, both ports now
infected, from all of which passengers
are transported like cattle, "for revenue
only.
A St. Louis man describee the honey
moon as "that slate of estatic idiocy
that will cause a supreme judge to shin
up a shell bark hickory in his bathing'
suit to harvest a hornet's nest for his
innocent, little tootsie wootsie." His
preference of a hornet's nest as a refuge
from the innocent little tootsie wootsie
comes later. . . -

.Steerage immigration from the other

and in figuring out results the steam

debits to their side of the account with
out calculating the credits on the side of

pear like a jug handle, "all on one
side." 'Twas ever thus : The corpor

The trip of Senator Charles Hilton
California, matured in the purchase of
forty-one blooded Spanish Merino bucks.
They arrived by steamer Kegula.torThurc
day evening, and were greatly admired by
all who saw them passing through the I
streets to the stock yards from the boat,
for shipment to the ranch in Gilliam
county. : Senator Hilton arrived, on the
noon train yesterday.
At the stock yards yesterday also ar
rived, from Omaha, 'via. U. P. R., six
teen head of blooded Spanish Merino
bucks, and six ewes, purchased by Hon.
C. W. Cartwright, jof Crook county.
With such stock as this coming into the
Inland Empire, it is not to be wondered
at, that The Dalles is acquiring a. solid
reputation abroad, from Pacific to Atlan
tic ports, as being the. best market in
the United Statesin which to buy wool.
