A Monstrous Wrong—lts Remedy.
Of all the economio evils that filch
money from ear farmers and retard
their prosperity, none is more wide
spread and disastrous than the specula
tion in futures.” We make this
statement advisedly, with due delibera
tioo, and only after long observation
and patient inquiry. This journal is
too conservative to speak lightly on so
grave a matter, But the enormity
of the wrong done to the farmers o(
America by the “bear" speculation of
the past three months, and which still
continues, leads the American Agricul
turist to devote its energies to uprooting
and abolishing this givaotic robbery.
It is not too much to say that this
speculation in fictitious articles has de
pressed prices of our four great staples
at least ten per cent in recent years.
This lottery business has increased
even faster than agricultural prosperity
has decreased. Now that world-wide
natural conditions promise to restore
good times to the American farmer, the
speculators have combined to postpone
the improvement in values by arti
ficially depressing prices in every con
ceivable way. But even though this
most stupendous “bear’’ movement io
the world’s history is conducted by the
legalized Species of robbery sanctioned
on tbe Board of Trade, it will fail of
complete success. Its purpose is to
keep down prices, and jet excite pro
ducers to sell for fear of still lower
values, until the crops are all iu deal
-ers’ hands. Fortunately, the inability
of tbe railroads to haul tbe grain is
preventing this sacrifice, and giving
more time for farmers to learn tbe
anomalous situation of tbe existing
supply of food staples throughout the
world.
Tha nefarious practices' of the short
seller have, this season, artificially de
pressed prices of the grain and cotton
staples much more than ten per cent.
Even allowing for the improvement in
prices that the next tew months seem
destined to witness, it is not an exag
geration to say that the value of these
staples, produced in 1891, will average
ten per cent less than would have been
the case under a legitimate system ot
trade. Stated roughly io round num
bers, this meaDS that our farmers will,
on their 1891 crops, be robbed on —
Cotton oflc. per pound, or $ 40.000.00 D
Oats of Bc. per bushel, or . 30,000.000
Wheat of 10c. per bushel, or 60.000.0 CC
Corn of 6c. per bushel, or 80,000,000
Total loss on four crops $200,000,000
Why should these farm staples and hog
products be subjected to this vicious
tax? No other orop or product is sold
by such a system. Wall street specula
tion in stocks is honest in comparison,
for it is done on a cash basis, and tbe
collaterals are actually delivered In
fact, it was dealing in futures ou stocks
that hastened the great panic of 1873.
Even Wail street learned a lesson then
that she has siDoe profited by. Shall
we wait for a similar demoralization in
the oommeroe of food products?
Never. Dealing in futures and op
tions must cease. It can be reached
by the taxing power of government, as
the bill now before Congress provides.
That measure should be critically ex
amined, its minor details perfected if
weak or UDjust and then enaoted into
law. The American Agriculturist in
vites the utmost scrutiny of its position
in this matter, confident that both pro
ducers and consumers, and also the
great mass of reputable merchants and
middlemen, will find it to their interest
to bring every possible influence to
bear upon Congress in behalf of the
speedy passage of the bill to tax deal
ing in “ fntures.”
Of course the ent're army of specu
lators, short sellers, bucket shop dealers,
nod other barnacles on legitimate trade,
will fight this measure to the bitter
end. Every ioflueoce that they know
ao well how to work, will be employed
to distort tbe real issue and the facts it
involves. Great effort will be made to
delay tbe progress of the bill in Con
gress until the spring season, when it
is hoped that farmers will be too busy
to attend to it, and the bill can be
quietly ahelved. The way to compel
the success of this measure is for every
one to at once write a letter to his Rep
resentative, and to both tbe Senators
from his State, strongly urging tha
immediate enactment of this bill. If
every reader wonld write snoh a letter,
and also induce all his acquaintances to
do the same, it would make more votes
for the measure thin is possible in any
Other way. This is the simplest and
mosj effective method of i^k.
Impressed with the magnitude of the
task of reforming this evil, the Amer
icon Agriculturist departs from its
heretofore invariable rnle, and heartily
enlists in the direct work of this cam
paign. It will send, free to all appli
- eants, a eiroular containing a copy of
the hill in fall, suggestions for letters
in behalf of the measure, and petitions
demanding its enactment, that are to
be signed by taxpayers and producers
everywhere. Our readers are not only
invited to send for and oirenlate these
petitions, but will help tbe cause yb ,
giving the addresses of others who may '
dp likewise. It if only necessary to i

To Remedy Speculation in Fntnres.
“A bill defining optons in futcres
and impoaing special taxes on dealears
■ herein, and for other purposes,” has
been introduced into the Senate of the
United States by Mr. Washbnrne and
in the House by Representative W. H.
Hatch. It defines ‘ options’’ as mean
ing any contract whereby a party
acquires the right or privilege, hot is
not thereby obligated, to deliver to
soother at a future time or period,
wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, cotton,
aod all other farm produots, also pork.
' lard, beef, and all other meat produots.
, “Futures’’ is defined to mean any agree
ment whereby a party contracts to sell
aod deliver at a future time any of
these articles, when at the time of mak
ing suoh contract the maker is not the
i owner of tbe article to be delivered.
It is provided that this shall not apply
i to contracts for the future delivery of
, such articles to the United States or to
, any State, county or municipality.
Neither is the proposed law to apply
: to any farmer’s contract for tbe sale
. and delivery at a future time of such
i articles, whieb are in actual course of
production, on land owned or ocoupied
i by suoh farmer at the time of making
i the contract.
The bill compels every dealer in
> options or fntnres to take out an inter
. nal revenue license at a fee of SI,OOO a
i year, and to pay a tax of five cents per
pound for each and every ponnd of
. eotton or of pork, beef or other meat
products, and the sum of twenty cents
per bnshel for eaeh and every bushel of
> the other artioles mentioned. Any
’ options or futures contract shall be ab
\ solutely void, unless tbe makers there
• to eomply with the law- Tbe bill'
, provides for returns of all snoh tran
’ auctions to the Commissioner of loter-
I nal Revenue, and penalties of not less
than SI,OOO or more than $5,000 with
or without imprisonment of not less
, than thirty days or more than six
( months. The bill further provides that
s such lioense certificate shall not exempt
any from the laws any State may make
( regulating dealings in options or futures,
I nor shall the payment of the internal
( revenue taxes be held to prohibit any
State or municipality from plaoing a
tax or duty on the same transactions for
I suoh municipal and other purposes.
The effect of the measure, if enaoted
into law, wonld be to tax such specula
| tiou out of existence- It is substan-
P tially the same measure that attracted
( much attention in tbe last Congress,
under the name of the “Bntterwortb
| bill.”
Tbe way in which such speenlation
i injures the farmer best appears by ex
plaining just how tbe traffic is con
ducted. Suppose that in August,
when wheat sold at $1.12 per bushel in
Chicago, “A” offeored to sell “B“
5000 bushels of wheat at ninety-five
cents, to be delivered any day in De
cember that B preferred; that is, B
wonld have the option or right to call
for the wheat oo any day between Deo
Ist and 31st. Suppose that wheat is
selling at ninety-six cents on Deo. sth, 1
and B fears it will go lower. He 1
therefore closes the trade by oalling on 1
A, not for 5,000 bushels of wheat, but I
for the one oent per bnshel, or SSO in <
all, that the price has advanced over 1
tbe figure he paid for tbe optioo in <
August. On the other hand, had B 1
held off until Deo lfitb, when wheat 1
sold at ninety cents, aod then closed 1
the trade, fearful ot another decline', 1
be would be obliged to pay A the loss 1
of five cents per bushel, or $250 in all.
rather than take the wheat which he ]
doesn’t want. Hence A’s object since
be sold himself short, has been to de
press the market and bear values so
that the price would go below ninety
five cents, and thus compel B to pay A s
the difference in price, which is A’s t
profit on the gambling operation. It is t
eaaier to depress than advance prices, ■
and as the only cap ; tal required is a f
margin to the amount of five cents per £
bnshel, thousands of men gamble or t
specnlate who don’t produce or ever j
own a bushel of grain, but whose effort „
is constantly to force down prioes q

Useful Recipes.
Neck of Mutton Stew.—The neck
of mutton is one of the best pieces of
meat for stewing. It is, tender and
nutritions, and if properly cook does
not deserve the scorn frequently cast
upon it. Have it cut in pieces, and pnt
over the fire with a sliced onioo aod
enough cold water to cover it. Cook
slowly until the meat will slip easily
from the bones. Remove the bones,
let the gravy 000 l sufficiently to permit
of skimming the fat from it, and set
part of the liquor aside for soup. Put
the meat back ou the fire with a eupful
of the broth, heat a eupful of milk in a
double boiler and thicken it with a
tablespoonful of flour robbed smooth
with two teaspoonfuls of butter. Turn
this over the meat, let all cook together
five minutes and serve-
Brown BREAD(MissParloa’s recipe).
—lnto a mixing bowl there were pnt
one cupful and a half or oatmeal, one
capful and a half of rye meal and one
level teaspoonful of soda was dissolved
io two tablespoonfuls of ooid water, and
stirred into a pint and a gill of cold
milk, and to this was added a gill of
molasses. All these ingredients were
mixed together, and then stirred into
the dry ingredients. The batter was
beaten vigorously for five minutes, and
then poured into a well buttered brown
bread tin, whieb has a cover that fits
closely. The tin was put in the steamer
and the steamer placed over a kettle ot
water which was boiling rapidly. The
time of cooking was five hoars. The
water in the kettle had to be replenished
after the bread had been cooking for
three hoars, the new supply of boiling
water being taken from the teakettle.
When the brown bread was done it was
turned from the tin and set away to

Coooanut Meringuk—One quart
of sweet milk, five tablespoonfnls of
tapioca, a generous half capful of
granulated sugar, tha yolks of three
eggs, salt and vanilla to taste. Wash
ths tapiooa and soak for several hours
in plenty of cold water. After draining
off the water, add the tapioca to tbe
milk and set them on the range in a
padding dish. If there is the lest doubt
as to the freshness of the milk, stir in a
pinoh of soda. Cover until the boiling
point is reaohed. Now stir in two
tablespoonfuls of the coooanut, and, after
drawing the dish to tbe edge of the
range where the milk oannot boil, add
zradnally the yolks of the eggs and
sugar, which have been beaten together
until light. Replace on tbs hottest part
of the range stirring continonsly until
tbo custard has thiekened. Remove
from tbe fire and set aside several hoars
to cool, when salt and flavoring may be
added, and tbe meringue spread upon
tbe top.

A POPULAR FAMILY.
JnntiE: “ How is it, Kate, that you always
seem to‘oatoh on'to the last new thing? Do
what I may, you always seem to get ahead
of me.”
Kate : “ I don’t know: I certainly do not
make any exertion in that direction.”
Jennie: “ Well, during the lost few months,
for example, you have taken up painting,
without any teacher; you came to the rescue
when Miss Lafarge deserted her Dclsarte class
so suddenly, and certainly we arc all improv
ing in grace under your instruction; I heard
you telling Tommy Eames last evening how
bis club made mistakes In playing baseball;
you seem to be up on ail the latest 1 fads,’ and
know just what to do under all circumstances;
you entertain beautifully; and in the last
month you have improved so in health, owing,
you tell me, to your physical cultureexercises.
where da you get ail of your information
from in this little out-of-tho way place?—for
you never go to the city."
Kate: “Why, Jennie, you will make me
vain. I hare only one source of information,
but it is surprising bow it meets all wants. I
very seldom hear of anything new but what
the n.xt few days bring me full Information
on the subject. Magic? No I Mugaxine!
And a great treasure it is to us all, for it
really furnishes tho reading for tbo whole
household: father has given up bis magazine
that he has taken for years, us ho says this
one gives more and better information on
tbo subjects of the day; and mother says
that it is that that makes her 9 ch u famous
housekeeper. In fact, we all at roe that it is
the only really family magat no published,
as we have sent for samples of all of them,
and find that one is alt for men, another all
for women, and another for children only,
while this one suits every ono of us; so we
only need to tako one instead of several, and
that is where the eeonomy comes In, for it is
only $3.00 n yoar. Perhaps you think lam
too lavish in my praise; but f will let you see
ours, or, better still, send 10 cents to tbo pub
lisher, W. Jennings Demorest, la East 11th
Street, Now York, for a sample copy, and I
•hall always consider that I have done you
a great favor; and may be you will bo cutting
us out. as you say we have the reputation of
being the best Informed family in town. If
Uiatbe so. it is Demurest'a Family Magazine
that does it.”
