M. Letelmiv, an authority ou matters
agricultural iu France, seea no hope for
Fronolt wheat growow, and according to
him tho great body of French farmers
uro and must cease to ho whoat growers,
unless tho existing import dues ou com
uro still further raised; otherwise 2(1
million of pcrnoiiH will find their occu
pation gouo and bo thrown ou the eh.ir
ity of thoir fellow-eitliens. Iu hin view
it ia from Russia that tho greatest dan
ger is to bo upprohonded. Mr. l.oteburo
calls attention to tho fact that this very
year, 1SS5, in which Russia Hooded
Franco with wheat was, as a matter of
fact, h year for Russia of bovcro de
pression. Not only was tho yield iu
wheat somo 25 por cout. inferior to the
return of tho previous year, but wheat
growers wero hoavily handicapped ia
competing with their American rirala

Ii Wheat Dearer than Flour?
A promiuont represcntativo of tho
Hour milling interest, ox-Oongrossman
W. 1). Washbtirnc, of Minnesota is cred
ited with saying: "Milling is bad. Tho
trouble is, wheat costs more than Hour.
Wo have no Kuropoan market, becauso
they can got wheat choaper from Aus
tralia and India. Wo must, therefore
produce loss Hour, consume more at
borne, or Hud a new market somowhoro
elbe."
Tho aliovo is hardly a fuir statement
of tho case. This industry of milling
whoat is admittedly not in as satisfactory
a condition as it might bo named. Ono
of tho largost, if uot tho largest flour
ing mill in this State, engaged almost
wholy iu manufacturing Hour of for
eign trade, and conducted by an incor
porated company, has been paying reg
ular dividends, which is a refutation of
tho statement that Hour is cheaper than
wheat. It also refutes tho declaration
that we havo no European market, for
nbout h i'i f our cxportod Hour goes to
(iie.u liritau. Tho ido.i that Europe
obtains wheat cheaper in Australia and
India than iu America, will uot hear tho
test of reason. If such wero tho case,
American wheat would Hud a foreign
markot only after tho supplies of India
and Australia had been totally absorbed.
It is too woll known to nocd mora than
mention that wheat from this country is
no more neglected in Europe- than wheat
from any othor portion of tho globe, re
gardless of supplies in India or else
whore. Tho world's supply with other
contingencies, regulates tho production
of all countries being brought relatively
to tho samo level iu tho samo market.
If there is a difference in quality, and
not simply on account of tho wheat be
ing raised iu this or that country.
American wheat commands moro in
Europe than India wheat, becauso its
intrinsic valuo is greater. If tho reverse
wore tho case, our whoat would have to
be sold for less. Producers in Australia
and India can, from authentic accounts
as illy afi'ord to furnish their who.U to
Kuropo at present prices, as can tho pro
ducer in thia country, and tho former
would bo as quick to axact an advanoa
as tho latter, vfhonew an opportunity
was presented.
Sot this down as a fact that no set
ting breed will lay as many eggs iu one
year aa a non-oetting breed.
A LEi.-S.03 WITH A MORAL.
When Will Our Eyoa bs Opened to this Great
National Calamity?
Tho year 188G played sad havoc with
many prominent men of our country.
Many of them died without warning,
pushing n way apparently in the full Hush
of life.
Others wero sick but a comparatively
short time. Wo turn to our Hies and
are iibtonishcd to iind that most of them
died of apoploxy, of paralysis, of nervous
prostration, of malignant blood humor,
of Ilrighl's disease, of heart disease, of
kidney disease, of rheumatism or of
pneumonia.
It is singular that most of our promi
nent men dio of thoso disorders. Any
journalist who watches tho telegraph re
ports, will bo nsftnished at tho number
of prominent victims of these disodors.
Many statements havo appoarod in
our paper with others to tho oiTect that
tho disoasos that carried off so many
prominent men in 1880, aro really ono
disease, taking different names accord
ing to tho location of tho fatal affects.
Whon a valuablo horso perishes, it be
comes tho nino day's talk of tho sport
ing world, and yet thousands of ordinary
horsos aro dying every day, their aggre
gate loss is enormous, and yot their
doath creates no comment
So it is with individuals. Tho causo
of death of promiuont men croates com
ment, especially when it can bo shown
that ono unsuspected disease carrios off
most of thorn, nnd yot "vast numbers of
ordinary men and women dio beforo
thoir titno every year from tho samo
cause."
It is said if tho blood is kopt f rco from
uric acid, that heart disease, paralysis,
norvous prostration, pneumonia, rheu
matism, and many casos of consump
tion, would never ho known. This urio
acid, wo aro told, is tho wasto of tho
systom, and it is tho duty of tho kidnoys
to rcmovo this waste.
Wo aro told that if tho kidnoys aro
maintained in perfect Health, tho uric,
kidnoy, ucid is kept out of tho blood,
and theso suddon and universal diseases
causod by urio acid will, in a largo meas
ure disappoar.
Hut how shall this bo dono? It is
folly to treat o floe Is. If thcro is any
known way of gotting at tho causo, that
way should bo known to tho public. Wo
bolievo that Warner's safo euro, of which
so much has boon written, and so much
talked of by tho public generally, is now
rccognizod by impartial physicians aud
tho publio as the ono specific for such
diseases.
Bocauso publio attontiou has been di
rected to this great romedy by means of
advertising, somo persons havo not be
lieved in tho romody. Wo cannot see
how Mr. Wnrnor could immediately
benefit tho publio in any othor way, and
his valuablo specific should uot bo con
demned bccnu8o somo nostrums have
come boforo tho publio in tho samo way,
any moro tuan mat nil doctors siiouiu
bo condomued becauso so many of them
aro incompetent.
It is astonishing what good opinions
you hear on overy sido, of that great
remedy, and publio opinion thus based
upon an actual experience, has all tho
weight andimportuncoot absolute truth.
At this timo of tho year, tho uric acid
in tho blood invites puoumonia and
rheumatism, and there is not a man who
does not dread thoso monstors of dis-
easos ; but ho need have no fear of thorn
wo aro told, if ho rid tho blood of tho
urio acid causo.
Thoso words uro strong, nnd may
sound like an auvertlsment, and bo re
jected us such by unthinking people,
but wo bcliovo they are tho truth, and as
such should bo spoken by overy truth
loving newspaper.
