We admire the Petersburg democrats for keeping as silent as the grave about dollar a bushel wheat and the good time the country was to have under Cleveland’s administra-tion.^-News. Let’s see. When Mr. Harrison was inaugurated president wheat was bringing the farmers who produced it an e#en daddy dollar per bushel. Four years later when Mr. Harrison was ready to step down and out the farm* ers who had produced 4 bushel of wheat got fifty-five cents per bushel in the Petersburg market. The democrats have nothing to do With the loss of forty-five cents per bushel to the farmer that produced it. How’s ‘tliat, Emmer? Perhaps never in the history of modern journalism has any newspaper gained so rapidly in pnblic favor as the Chicago Inter Ocean. Within the past two years it has bv adopting progressive methods and injecting pash and enterprise in all its-depart-ments forced itself into the very front rank of great Chicago newspapers. That this popularity is deserved is beyond question. The publisher during this time, Mr. H. H. Kohlsaat, has spared neither expense nor effort to attain his idea)—and he has succeeded. Uncompromisingly Republican on all National issues, The Inter Ocean doeB battle for what it believes to be the true'faith in a manner that at once commands Hie attention of the public and respect of all. It can be recoin mended to those who desire a clean, reliable, enterprising metropolitan family newspaper. *
