A few nuts for our Democratic farmer friends: How do you like free wool and taxed clothing, free farm products and taxed sugar and taxed implements? How do you like Republican prosperity as compared with Democratic adversity? How many among ye all have received the promised $1.25 per bushel for wheat? Will you endorse the new tariff bill, the bill of, sale, and the "embodiment of party perfidy and party dishonor"' as characterized by your patron saint, Grover?

We have often heard it said that it did not pay now-a-days to raise wheat. With the well known fact in mind that the farmer must do something let us take a given case of wheat raising. A farmer of this neighborhood raised 22 bushels on 2(1 acres. The following are the cash expenses for sowing, harvesting and threshing: -wm For 40 bu. seed wheat, at 55e. dust year's price) $ vj.OO Kor 75 11)8. twine at He !.()) For repairs on binder u.fto For threshing, 1c. per bu 2K.8K

It must be born in mind that the $120 for theoretical expenses as we have termed them goes into the farmer's pocket, not out of it. It is simply what he realizes for the use of his land and interest upon capital invested. We deducted it merely to ascertain what were the wages and profits to be realized in the production of 722 bushels of wheat. As to whether it will pay a farmer to raise wheat for §4.01) per'day we leave to the consideration of the reader.

rilOUUKSS OF T1IK INQUIIIY. CHICAGO, Aug. 2a.—Heiportors told the itory of the Pullmau-rullroad strlko Tuesday to the national strike commissioners. ItopreseUitlres of moat of the Chicago newspapers wave on tho witness stand during the day. They were praotloally unanimous In tho declarotion that hardly any of the strikers took part in tha acts of vlolonoe or obstruction durltiR the riots. They testified thut most of tho ovort acts were committed by hoodlums who hud no oonneotion with tho railroads. With one or two exceptions all branded tho United Stiitos special deputy marshAls as lnofflclont und a uouroe of oonstant Irritation to the strikers,

Nnw No KulIroaI M«MI.

Malcolm McDowell, a reporter for a morning pnper, told of his observations during th» trouble at Hlue lslund und tho stock yards. He had soon ours overturned and property drstroyod, but did not recognize any of those concorned In the worlc as rallroiul mon, although thoy wore white ribbons. When Marshal Arnold read the United States court Injunction the crowd jeorod and hooted. Many of tho men did nod soein to understand tho Injunction. Soveral Amorloun Hallway union mon mounted a oar and told tho crowd the naturo of tho injunction and advlsod them to louve the railroad property alone. Soon aftor tho crowd dlsporsod. He told of riotous srcni-s at illuo Island, and said that much of tho trouble was caused by deputy United States marshals, who wore aggressive, Insulting and always socking to provoke trouble. At Hlue Island they jeered at and Insulted the women.

Hay Hammond, limit her reporter, old of tho firing on tho crowd byt the United states troopN ut Hammond. A small crowd of men. led by a tough from Chicago known us "Put," attempted to overturn a Pullman car. Arouuil them a groat orowd of women and children and a few mon hud withered when the United Statos troops arrived und began firing without warning. Several men und women were shot. Not one of thorn hud anything »o do with the attempt to overturn the oar. None of the men who .uttucked the car belonged to the American Hallway union. Mr. Baker saw the trouble at Kensington. The A. R. U. men did tliolr best, he said, to quiet the mob, and told all thoir men to stay at home. Tho conduot of the deputy marshals was very bad. There were more oases of drunkonness among the marshals than among the strikers.

Deputies Agiilii lilt llurd.

n. T. Cleveland, a reporter for the Herald, was next called. He saw a orowd of men, women and children upset soveral ears on the Book Island tracks near Thirty-nlirfh street. Many In the crowd were women and small boys. Witness illd not see any railroad mon In the crowd. Most of the persons in the crowd wore white ribbons, but this did not Indicate that they sympathized with the strikers. "1 do uot think that uny of the men enguged In thut rioting ever did un honest day's work In their lives," said Mr. Cleveland. Hcgurdlng the deputy marshals Mr. Cleveland suid that so far as he hud observed the deputies were "a low, contemptible lot of men.

Nat C. llut ton, a reporter for the Tribune, was the next witness. He told of the scenes ut Illuo Island when tho Injunction was roud. Mr. Ilut:on saw some of the derailed i.ml upset cars on the HocU Island tracks. Most of tills violence was dune by men not .striking nor railway employes. The deputy marshals did little or nothing to preserve order.

The commission was very particular to in(juireof every reporter who uiivo testimony during the morning whether or not his accounts, written during tho strike, had been c.hiinged or colored before they were put Into print. No instance was found where such had been the case.

A .11 Inlster'N .Story.

Hev. M. II. Wickmun, the Swedish minister at, Pullman, told of the reduction of liis parishloners' wages. He said the Swedish labors crs at ruiliiian were made to pay more rent at Pullman than ai Koseland or other places in the lieighliornooil. "Why, then." usUed li.iirinnri \Vn :!-.t, "do the men not live In Roselund or viclnityv" 'They are commanded to live in Pullman, on pain of dismissal. Even where men own homes outsldu of Pullinun, if work becomes slack, these men are the Ilrst laid off."

Mr. Wickman told of Ilie case of an employe who was Injured in the Pullman shops und obliged to stay at the hospital for nine weeks. During this time the company charged him rent for his house in Pullman, refused to pay 1 im any damages undent down his wages when he rclurtitd Irem the hospital, cause his Injury prevuiiied his ilc'ng r.s much work as formerly. 'I he Deputy iMiirsluils.

Chief Deputy Marshal Donnelly testified that he had about .|,(HXI deputies under him during the strike. He acknowledged that snnic of his men were inemcleiil, l.ut denied that as a utiole I,hey were as worthless a liody as represented by the reporters lie did not lecogalze any strikers among liose whom he suw»comuiit violence.

Ill answer to further t:njti!rlt.H Mr. Donnelly said the 3.O0O or 4 00U ilcputies selected by tho railroad companies were not in charge of anybody from the marshal's ollice: they reported to no one unless to the detective service of the railro.id companies, and the government had no lucclioii of their movements or actions. ,\o corli tlcates of character were required. Witness did not know v, hetlier these deputies vv re used io operate trains or not. He was reeall'-u after he had left the stand to loll whether any pains had been used to discover whether these deputies were citizens of the United States or uot.
