Pennsylvania Ave, i 1 Washington, July 17 1889. ! Corporal Tanner took President | Harrison's advice to-day and kept j his mouth shut. He refused to say j anything to the correspondent who called upon him to-day, but his pri | vate secretary said that it was useless for the Commissioner to say any- H thing, as the Democratic papers, acting under instructions from ; Chairman Brice and other members | of the Democratic national committee were sure to distort everthing he said. Dr. McMillan, who had been firing the Corporal’s friends in the medical examiner’s district, is still feeling very chipper and hopeful. McMillan is in almost daily confer- ence with Bussy and Noble, and is almost entirely ignoring Tanner. McMillan said to-day that he would continue dismissing medica] exxmin- ers until he had the department re- organized to suit himself, and he in- timated very strongly that he did not care a cent whether Tanner lik- ed it or not. Tanner's little scheme of rerating pensioners has made the adminis- tration feel very sick. Harrison and Noble are disgusted and the other members of the administration are fearful that unless Tanner is fired the people of the country will repu- diate the Republican party at the next congressional elections. The Republic’s correspondent learned to- day on excellent authority that nearly 300 pensioners employed in the Pensions office had rerated each other and awarded each other sums of money in back pay running from $1,000 to $4,000 during the Tan- ner incumbency. Pensions have been increased from $4 a month to $40 a month, and they conld not do is fast enough to suit the Corporal. On some occasions it was looked up- on as a capital joke that young girls employed in the bureau as clerks wrote both the medical and legal opinions for fellow clerks seeking a rerating. and these opinions were approved by Tanner and railroaded ‘ i i 4 i | J.T, WALLS, PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON.

About a month ago an old crony of Tanner's from Brooklyn came here, and had his pension rerated and was given $3,500 in back pay That night the lucky pensioner, the Corporal and two of three pen- sion sharks sat around the con- vivial board at the Hotel John- son. About 2 o'clock in the morn- ing the Corporal being toasted arose and delighted his hearers with a brief but pointed speech. He said he was not very steady on his legs, it is true, but if his arms and head held out God Almighty help the surplus. In fact it seems to be the great ambition of Tanner to divide up the surplus among the pension- ers. Such action has been freely talked of in Grand Army encamp ments during the past few years, and as Tanner considers his allegiance to the Grand Army as something high- ance to the laws of congress, it is to be presumed that he is using every effort to give his will to the Grand Army sentiment. It is the general impression here | fore congress meets. A republican |eongressman said a few days ago, | that were it not for the national en- campment of the Grand Army to be jwould have been weeks ago. The administration, however, is afraid to bounce the cor- | poral before the adjourament of the | national encampment, knowing that \ Tanner would be sure to appeal | from Harrison to his fellow Prietor- |ians at Milwaukee, and the Preetori- | ans would be certain to support the ‘corporal.

S-6m The Money In Wheat. Among the communicatious ad- dressed tothe Republic giving the cost of wheat raising in Missouri and Illinois is one from Mr. M. Standley of Carrolton, Mo., whose estimates, based on his personal knowledge, may be quoted to show the average cost and profits where average land is worth $35 an acre and where the average yield of wheat is 15 bushels to the acre. His esti- mate is as follows: Interest at 8 per cent on ivest- ment on land per acre Cost of seed wheat per acre Cost of breaking ground per | | $ 2,80 1,25 | | acre 1,25 Cost of preparing ground for drill per acre 25 Cost of drilling per acre 25 Cost of cutting, binding, etc per acre 1,50 Cost of threshing per acre 1,65 Cost of marketing, home mar- ket per acre 55 Taxes and incidental expenses per acre 50 Total cost per acre $10,00 Receipts on wheat sold, gross per acre 9,00 The average price is here reckon- ed at 60 cents abushel. Other es- timates of the cost of production run higher. Mr. John G. Edwards of Cooper County, Missouri, for in- stance, estimates the cost of produc- tion at $15,10 per acre, putting the labor cost at $6,75, which, with the price of labor at from $1,25 to $1,50 a day is not high. Farmers howey- er, are expected to reckon neither la- bor, interest on capital invested nor “wear and tear of plant” in estimat- ing net profits. They are expected to invest money and labor and be satistied with being allowed to live. The average wheat yield per acre is not as high as 15 bushels (average for 1886, 12.4 bushels,) and accord- ing to the information The Republic is deriving at first hand from the farmers themselves, $10 an acre is a low estimate of the cost of produc- tion. At 60 cents a bushel the aver- age of wheat land will not yield above $9 gross. Wheat then, fails to return any thing on the labor and capital invested in its production un- less the yield is above 15 bushels. In'the general average it is a losing crop, yet few crops that can be gen- erally grown are better. Though the chances are against any profit at all from their principal crop, farmers are forced by Federal law to buy all their supplies charged with a tax averaging over 45 per cent for the benefit of a favored class. which after reckoning all labor, all interest on investment, all wear and tear of plants asa part of the cost of production, demands 10 per The Wheel. The Wheel, which seemsto be the most numerous aad popular organ- ization, had its birth three years ago in Arkansas. It was intended to combat the encroachments of the “anaconda mortgage.” It grew very rapidly, and has done a great work in teaching the farmer that the first lesson he must learn in order to be independent was to keep out of debt- They have started stores and ex- changes in many counties, which have resulted in bringing about in some places an almost complete rev- olution in trade. The Arkansas Wheel recognizing St. Louis as the great business cen- ter of the Mississippi Valley appoint- ed a trade agent with headquarters in this city. Mr. R. B. Cail Lee is the agent at Nos.8 and 10 North Com mercial street. He is assisted by G. M. Jackson. Last year 20,- 000 bales of cotton were shipped to the agency here for which all kinds of supplies were returned. Mr. Jack- son said yesterday that the reports from this state were most encourage= ing, and that the agency expect to handle 100,000 bales of cotton this coming season. From the humble beginning of the Wheelit has spread all over Missouri, Kentucky, Ten- nessee and Wisconsin. The State Wheels will hold their annual meeting as follows: Kentucky Kattawa, July 16; Tennessee, Nash- ville, July 23; Arkansas, Hot Springs July 24; Missouri, Springfield, Au- gust 20. The Farmers Alliance had its birth in Texas, and it too has grown won- derfully, and contests the ground with the Wheel in Missouri, both having powerful organizatious. The alliance is thoroughly organized in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carlina, South Carolina, Flo- rida, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa. It has the same object as the Wheel. The Farmers Mutual Union of Louisana is a similar organization. It is thought best te have these or- ganization consolidated under one common head, so a meeting of rep- sentatives of all was held in Miss., and a plan of consolidation agreed upon, which was submitted to the lo- cal organizations for ratification. A convention of representatives from all the organizations will meet in St. Louis early in December, when if the state organizations have voted for consolidation the union will be completedfand officers will be elect- ed. This will be the most powerful labor organization the world has ever seen, as more than 2,000,000 ° farmers are already in the ranks.
