There was money in tho aperation, The wheat. was aent this way beenuse people In Chicago wore willing to pay mora for St than could be obtained elsewhere. A somewhnt simllar set of con- ditions hag attracted hitherward tho immense quantity of nearly sixty-five million bushels of corn during tho first cight months of the presont eniendar year, It has been charged tht the state of things which induces, or has induced, these facts 1s ncommercially unhealthy one, Ib has beon alleged that tharo was a wheat corner In Chicago, and is now # corner in pork and ments. Doth of those allegntions are dentod by men who ought toknow. But, suppos- ing them to ba true, tha accompany- ing facts are. far trom being aa represented. One does not - need toatretch the memory for to recollect tho persistent howl kept up for months by cer- tain newspapers on the seaboard to the effect that Keone and others had blocked the wheat trade of the world and Induced or obliged the farmers of the Northwest to hold back their grain to be sold dt rufnously low prices, But the ovent proves that the fann- ers actually sold out thelr wheat more close- Jy than e any other time for a dozen years previouk, aud that tt was about all sent for- ward to be consumed, Tho farmers' bing wero swept so clean that thore hasbeen practically no oltl wheat in the country fora month past, and millers have beon obliged to be idle unless a8 they could buy back some of tho whent that had beon sent to Chicago. And wo have now only about three-quarters of a milion bushels of the speculative grade ofspring wheat distributed through thonearly twenty mammoth storchouscs erected for the purpose of recefying and storing grain. .Tho biggest wheat crop ever known, which was roing to swamp everybody in tha trade, ac- cording to tho New York wisencres, has absolutely disappeared, in spite of the cronk- ings that it was held at prices which consum- ers would not pay, and could not afford to pay, Itluts been taken and paid for. Simi- larly, our immense stocks of provisions haye melted down to s low point, and“those at all other points except New York completely exhausted, though fully 60 per cont more hogs havo been killed here sinco Inst winter than in any previous summer in the history of tho trade. Wemay add that the wholoof the immensa volume of corn recolyed has been disposed of, elther by shipment or city con- sumption; the stock in store now, three and n half millions, 1s about equal to that on hand at the closo of Inst year, ‘, ‘The facts here noted polut {rresistibly to tho conclusion that Chicago is the great con- servator of tho Interests of the Gront North- west. - It 1s tho vast enpital centered here, and tho vast army of men anxious to acquire or inerenge enpital by trading in produce, that keeps” up and puts up prices to & point whore tho producer can afford to pay for tho other things besides farm produce that aro necessary to a comfortublo existence, ‘The consumer at the Enst and in Europo Is naturally anxlous to buy hls grain ond pork og cheaply ag possible, and the mon on the seaboard who buy for them aro eter- nally dolng their best to bear down prices to the lowest possible polit, Tho producor In thocountry, or hfs consignees at the smaller polnts around Chicago, are utterly unable to cope with the combined influences of the bear element to tho far Eastward, It ts Chicago, and Chicago almost alone, that forces the inor- chunts of Now York and Liverpool to pay de- cent prices, It is Chicago quotations that aro so continuously referred to as being to tho “disfavor of-shipments.? It ts the prices In this city which are eternally called “too Nigh,""—so high that people ennnot pay them. But thoy do pay thum all the same, It{s not too much to cinim that, ono year with another, tho farmer of tho Northwest re- eelyes five cents por bushel moro for his grain aud hal€a cent per pound more for his hogs than he could obtain wore Chicago as a market wipod out of existence and present transportation facilities to continue, Mero {3 9 point which not a few of our renders will do well to ponder over; it will pay to digest It at Ieisure. See “GARFIELD AND HENDRIOKS, Afr. Hendricks has sought to attructsome attention to himself by attacking Gen. Gar- field on necaunt of the Intter’s presence nt New Orleans pending the cuntroversy over the count of the Loulsiann vote, in 1878, In the first speech delivered in Tadlans dart the prosont campaten, Mr. Hendricks mada tho following statement: “Garfleld had charge of the returns in West Feliclann Parish, . . . As agent for his party ho helped to make returns by manipulating evidence.” “The Indianapolis Journal at the tlme donounced this statement as false, while admitting that ft would make Gon, Qarflotd infamous If it were true, But tt also said that such a statemont would render Ifondrioks infamous if It wero not truc, and called upon him to produce evidence to sub- stantlate his charge, Mr. Hondricks pre- tended to do this inn wpecch dollvered ot Indiannpolls tho other oyening, but tha Journal has exposed his prevariention and milsrepresentation by showlng that Uendricks has not relterated: his original charge, but restated the caso in the following torms: cilstumetauee, said: to Min aatt te eee alone, and in that room he suw witnosses, black and white, of Loulstaua, and be conversed with in vlune; and, when tholr testimony wus nog mule out sutisfactory to him, ho sugycatod fos lerrogatorics that should be putto them; and those inturrngatories wont to tho Returning Honrd, and thut Roturniug Board made a report Ajalnst the men that wore cluoteds Fe This socond statement is certainly a vory different ono from tho first, It has nono oft tho ating contained in: tho charge that Gen, Gurtioid was engaged In “ mantpulating evl- deuce," It fs morely an assertion that Gen, Gurfleld did at Now Orleans. what Gen, Grant desired him and others to do—viz.; tu nastat in bringing tho Louisiana vote fairly before tho Returning Board, and in obtaining a fair count, ‘The work was divided up among a numbor of gentlonen’ who represented the Stepublican side, and tha voto of West Fellciang fell, to the charge of Gon, Garfleld, Tho Demoeratio frauds in this parlsh were of the most notorfous charactor, The Demo- cratle returns revealed onuthoir face the most flagrant suppreaston of the Nopublican vow and the moat, barcfaced multiplication of the Demooratic vote, , Gen. Gartield would Ahave been darelict in hig duty to the Repub-: Iican party and to the gountry if he had not: used his best effert to obtain and put into proper legal shapo the ovidencesof this fraud. He udmitted freely before the Potter Comittee that he had agcupled a room in tho Custont-llouse In’. tye prosecution of this work, where ho eff coples of thy of- flelul papors Maed the evidonge in the cuss, ‘Uhl i¢ shawlarbat Mr, Hondricks gays Garfleld ‘Wid, tn tls recent speech in In- (una palls, and there ja nothing wrong about Mt; but it fs w very differene thing srom “\baylng charge of the r¢turas lu West Fo tana Parish,” and also vory diferent from ‘manipulating ovidonco *as an agont for his party, Tho Indianapolis Journat [s fuily Jus- tilled In asserting, under the clretmslances, that Hendricks “has been gullty of a grass oud willful perversion.of facts, and that he has voluntarily challenged the attontion of the American peopla ns nt once tho greatest volitical calumnintor and the smallest poll {ent pettifoggor of the age.” Gen.

It would bo just ns falrto chargoupon any one of those Democrats: thut he whs en-" gaged while in Now Orleans In manipiiiate, ing evidence,” ng It was In Mr. Hendricks to, bring such acharge against Gon, Garfield, In fact, thera would bo moro warrant for that kind of chargo against a,Domocrat, in | view of the revelations subsequently made. through tho Tilden, clpher dispatches, than agalnst, any Republican who can bo named. ‘That Gen, Garfield was afterwhrd chosen ng ono of tho representatives of tho Republican party on tho Electoral Commission was pecul- Jarly appropriate, in view of tho fat that he had become faimlllar with the Democratic trauds in one of the principal States in dis- pute, Mr. Hendricks’ futtle effort to revive an issue which became obsolete the moment tho Democrats refused to give elther hinself or Afr, Tildon a place on this year’s Presiden- tial ticket tins acted liken boomerang, It hos damaged Mr. Hendricks much moro seriously than ho has succeeded in damaging anybody else. Meanwhile his recent attack upon Ger. Garfield’s character may be best answered In this particular case by quoting what Hondricks himself sald of Garticld be- foro tho ‘Intter’s nomination, “I will tell you,” said Hendricks, “whom I think the Republicans should nominate, and whom I consider thelr strongest man; he Isa true man, a man of principle, an honest man, and would maken good President for us sill. Personally I consider tim the best man you could nominate, J refer to Gen. Junwa A. Garfield, of Ohio. ———SSE THE COST OF ELECTING HANCOOK.

If the voters will regard tho duty of going to tho primaries and oxpressing thelr preforence for candidates as equally Amperative with thelr duty to vote on olec- ‘tlon-day, it is cortain that conventions will be appoluted that will respect the obvious ! wishes uf the majority of the party, If not, ion it will be easy for any clique that has undertaken to control the nomination In any ono of the districts to carry thelr polut, de- ‘foatthe popular will, and contribute to pos- :Sible Democratic success in Republican dis- tricts. All this is truo ina gonoral way and atall times, but it has a spectal significance at this timo because it is generally undor- stood that, in the First District at least, certain fnfluences have been at work for a long time to procura the nomi- nation of a candidate whom the people, of thelrown motion, would never think of elevating to the distinction of Congressional honors. It 1s hinted, too, that In both tho other districts advantage mny be taken of popular Indifferonce to exclude from all chance of nomination the candidates who would be most acceptable to the Ropublican voters. a Moere~ han this, a bint bas come to Tur ‘Trin su within a day or two that'a certain number of thugs proposa to invade the Fourth Ward on the day of the primarics, and by thelr presence, and with tho ald of Demovrats imported from other wards, over- come the well-known opposition of the Re- publican of that ward to the nomination of tho Post-OMice candidate. We do not know whether this Is truo or nat. It la one of those things which cannot be known in advance, But the slightest suspicion of such @ movement should arouse the respect able citizens of the Fourth Ward to active resistance, Tho city nuthoritics should ba urged to furnish ninple protection, and tho Republican voters should turn out en masse to prevent the schotne, ‘Tho nae of a man who has achioved some notoriety in crime has been associated with the alleged schome of bulldozing, and 1t may be that other wards in tho South Division will-bo similarly In- vested, ‘Che only cortain way to hend off sttch villainy Is bys general attendance at the primaries of the Republican citizens of the various wards, —_—.
