A good deal has been said about the ‘‘wave of prosperity,’’ Every calarnity howler has fixed it up in his own mind how the advent of good times shall be detected. It wastaken for granted by the free silver speak- ers and the free silver press in the last campaign that legislation should be passed primarily in favor of the farmer, and o great deal was said and written about the ‘poor farmer.’’ We publish the following dispatches, which are of undoubted authority and which will prove intensely interesting reading. They show that the farmer is entering upon an erg of prosperity that will compare favorably with any of the ‘‘good old times’’ before the “crime of '73."’ These dispatches refer to the farmer and to the people of Colorado. We ask their careful consideration : New York, July 15.—The conti- nental countries and England began making inquiries about our wheat a week ago. Now, however, comes the news, almost unprecedented, that the Argentine Republic, one of the great wheat growing states of the world must this year become a buyer of American wheat, owing to the light- ness of its own crop. Today an in- quiry reached here for 30,000 bushels from Argentin It was said that this wheat was wanted for sowing, but this explanation was scouted by old operators, as it is altogether too early to buy seed for sowing there. Fresh orders for wheat have been sent to San Francisco from Australia, which has suffered this year from a prolonged drouth, following a poor harvest last’ year. Several cargoes have already been shipped to Austra- lja from the Pacific slope. The visi- ble supply of wheat in Australia is practically nothing, and there will be no harvest there until January. Besides this, Brazil has come into the United States market as a buyer. Snipments of American wheat to Brazil were common enough some ars ago, but for the past few years have been rare. The shipments al- ready made to Brazil this year are re- ported to have been for the account of millers in Rio de Janeiro, who usually get their supplies from Ar- gentina. About 120,000 bushels thus far been shipped to Brazil, inquiries for more were reported yesterda: All this is more gratifying news for the wheat growers of the United States. It means that when they have been paid for their wheat crops this year they wi!l have more money than they have seen for many a day. While the indications are now for an unusually large crop all over the Cnited States, the price is higher than it has been since 1891. The government estimate of this year’s crop in the United States is abeut This is about Nevertheless sight exchanges, iat aa 82,- carried by the banks is 534,206 ; total amount of cash on /hand, $7,- 931,204, and total deposits, $18,- 050,430, This is the first time in the history of the banking depaftment that the total deposits have exceeded the loans. ‘The separate reports of the several babks show a systematic effort ou the part of tueir customers to reduce their indebtedness and to increase their cash resources, It is the most gratifying report in every feature of the banking business that has ever been made to the department, and indicates an unlooked for degree of prosperity, throughout the state. the Present Year the Most Pros- pereus in the State's History, Speaking of Colorado's prosperity the St. Louis “Globe-Democrat’’ say! It is with great pleasure that the country will hear of the abuudant prosperity and fine prospects of the state of Colorado. The statement comes frum one of the leading jour- nals of Denver and is based upon fig- ures, not mere conjecture. The edi- torial page of the Denver paper of a recent date looked as if Aladin had rubbed his lamp for the occasion. Some of the headlines were ‘Colo- rado’s Golden Stream,’’ and ‘*Fruit, Melons and Gold.” ‘These inspiring captions were backed up by statis- ties of undoubted accuracy. Tn its outlook for the present year Colorado places its production of gold at $24,400,000; of silver, bull- jon value, at $15,000,000; lead, $3,- 000,000,\and copper, $1,500,000, a total of \$43,900,000 forthe year 1897, It will be the largest aggre- gate in the\history of the common- wealth. Other metals are found in the state, including platinum, z aluminum intany, iron aud quick- silver. Sales of mlging properties for the year will reach t immense total, Even if the gold output of 1897 should not go beyond $20,000,000, that would be $5,000,000 more than the yield of last year, and place Col- orado at the head of all the gold pro- ducing states, But its fruits also are becoming famous, and speculators from the large cities are on the ground buying up the crop of peaches and molons for export. “Then,’’ proceeds the Denver paper, “the fat lambs and muttons of last spring, and the beef of next fall, and the potatoes and wool and hides, and coal and copper and other metals,’’ will swell the tide of plenty, and surely should make the song of thanksgiving reverberate. FAILURE OF THE WILSON LAW, A Comparison of its Operation With the McKinley Law.
