Friday, October 14. 1888. THK WHKAT I'KOSPHKITY. Those who a few months ago were shouting prosperity on the strength of ''dollar wheat" for the farmer, are still insisting that prosperity abounds, although their tone is a trifle more subdued, and "dollar wheat" does not appear in the refrain. But then we must not be captious over little things. So long as we have prosperity what difference does it make whether we have 'dollar wheat" or ufifty-cent wheat ?" At the present time wheat is worth 15 to 55 cents on the western according to location. Cotton has made a new low water record, selling in Xew York down to the merest fraction above five cents. With wool, corn and oats also edging toward the low record mark, the agriculturists who constitute nearly half of our industrial population may well inquire as to the real nature of the prosperity which abounds and who has it. The fact is that while there has I been rather more business activity lately than during the depression of 1S94-5-6-7, there has been no material advarce in prices, except r r where famine conditions in other countries, coupled with speculation , temporarily raised the prices of up the prices of some other things. r" I But such influences always have serious off-sets, and we have had no real prosperity. THE GITS UP THK FIGHT. The following nrtirle dinned verbatim irom me i lymoutn evening News, a campaign sheet which has been issuing from the Republi can office; .jjj "That the Democrat party w be successful this fall, and particularly in this county, there does not seem to be the least doubt. Parties who are in the habit of reading the signs of the times will readily see that this is a fact beyond question and the Republicans might as well hantr their harps on the willow I trees as to be spending their time and money hunting votes." This startling announcement,coming mu eany in me campaign, was quite a surprise to a number of the republicans of Plymouth, who half believed that their organ was m -w I 11. ll 1J1UJ 11CICIU1WIC, 1M is needless to add that the republi-1 can county candidates are very an- . . ery. It was whispered about town , ... iL t i i im I had sold its influence to the demor 1 crats, but the Independent knows this to be a mistake. The above . cupping represents senior euier s Conscientious convictions and lie simply did not have the heart to Wn ,,n lt Mm nntll UrtJn. The state conference of the countv ofBcere and workers in the Famers' institute closed at Lafayette Wednesday, with lfiO delegates from seventy counties present. At the present time the state conducts at least one Institute in each county in the state and in some counties more than one, making a total of 130 institutes during the year. The attendance averages about two hundred for each county. The meetings in some of the counties are very large. The institute season will open again In a few weeks and Superintendent Latta and the authorities of Purdue university, under whose auepices the work is held, are greatly encouraged with the prospects for the coming season.
