In order to-realize the largest pos-sible results from the wheat crop now ready for the harvest, Kansas farmers are are advised to stack tfoc wheat and allow it to sweat out before threshing for market.

The exceptionally wet weather of the last six weeks has been unfavorable to the prompl marketing of the crop. Buyers discount the grain when it is. not thoroughly cured, beyond the real extent tf its inferiority to the old wheat, and any attempt too market the new crop vr-erly will result in a heavy loss to the grower. The necessity for good management and intelligence in farming never ends until the crop is off and the money in hand. The land must be intelligently prepared for planting, the seed intelligently selected and put in, the growing crop intelligently and industriously farmed and harvested and finally the grain sent to market at the proper time and in the proper condition.

A crop of wheat successfully gathered may yet prove a failure by being shipped to market in a condition that will not grade" as contract. At this critical time, therefore, we urge farmers not to thresh from the shock but stack the wheat and give it time to cure properly. Such a precaution will undoubtedly add several dollars per acre to the value of the Capital.

THE SILVER ADDRESS. The national executive silver com-mittee met at New York last Saturday and issued an address to the public calling attention to the remarkable efforts made recently by the great banks of Europe to in-crease their gold reserves and there by to avoid the bankruptcy which wes threatening them on account of the scarcity of ready money in their vaults. The address points out the very timely lesson of the affair.

Money is to scarce in the world. The per capita circulation needs to be increased. The commerce of the world is growing faster than the facilities for business and every year draws tighter the binding cords of an unelastic currency. The conclusion drawn from the lesson is that there is an immediate pressing nee essity for adopting the use of silver on an equality with gold as the money of the world. Very few people among any class will object to this statement of the case.

If the adoption of free silver coinage in the States depended alone on the argument here stated, there would be no op position to it in either party or from any public man. But the silver committee leave a great cavern un-bridged by argument or precedent when they go from the above statement to the conclusion that the United States should hasten to adopt as money that which in the other great commercial nations is simply a commodity of fluctuating value. The vital point in the silver ques tion is not whether the world needs more money. It is not whether silver ought to be placed beside gold as the money of the world. The important question is whether this country can succeed in making silver money equal to gold money in all respects in this country, while other nations consider it an inferior money and refuse to accept it as an equivalent of gold.

It is that question which makes so many people doubters and questioners on the subject of the free coinage or silver. And for some reason or other that is the one question which the advocates of the immediate, free and unrestricted coinage of BUver very seldom touch. Kansas City Star.
