prohibit the introduction of the products

for defeating the forfeiture of the one .rn
ed land grants in the territory. We are
in fever of the eight. hour system for the
working of mines and prohibiting the
employment of child labor therein. We
disapprove the introduction of contract
labor and under the protection of armed
men for the purpose of intimidating la
borers in mines. mills' etc. We join the
sisterhood of silver producing states and
territories in favoring bi-metullic curren
cy and condemn the policy of the dam
ocratic administration in its efforts to
demoreitize silver. We denounce the
ldemocratic management of the postofiico
tdepartment as partisan. It has made
{mail {dcilities in the waste public hur
jden instead of public revenue and con
‘ yerted postofices into machines for pro.
motion of the democratic party instead
of non-partisan for the bcnitir of the
public. We denounce the action of this
present administration in lmrrassinzz and
annoying citizens, suspending without
cause homesteads, preemptious and tim
ber culture entries, and classing the set
tler upon public lands with perjurrrs.
We demand that the delegate to congress
do all in his power to secure the passage
of a bill for the erection of postoflices in
all places rated by the department as
“second class" ofiiccs. We demand at-
Indian reservations in Washington terril
tory be restricted to 'the actual needs of
lndlans. and their excess tbmWn open
to homestead settlement. We believe
that charges of transportation. warehouse

ject to regulation of law. ‘

Surplus and Prices.
Now that the farmer is taking a
vivid interest in the price of wheat,
Wu wish to call his attention to a few
pertinent observations of distinguish
ed economists on the subject of
prices. Tooke, a much respected En
glish writer, after careful research.
says that he found that in 1799 there
was a deficiency in the wheat crop of
England of less than one~fonrth of
an average crop, and a smaller (lefi~
ciency as to other grains. The aver
age crop he reckoned at 8,000,000
quarters, yet the actual rise. due to
one fourth failure, was from 50 shill~
ings 3 peace to n 104 shillings 4 pence
a quarter. The value of the average
crop of 8,0(K),000 quarters was there
fore $20,100,000, while the (3,000,000
quarters at the enhanced price of 104
shillings 4 pence was $1,300,000.
Here was a clear gain to the farmer“
of £II,O(MWUO. resulting from an
apparent disaster. But the benefit
to the farmer did not end her -. The
enhmmeinent of all other crops, which i
ensued as a necessary consequence of}
the wheat deficiency, was such thati
Tooko estimated the gross profit to‘
the farmers on the whole of their}
crops at 1133,0tX).000. So marked was
the efl'ectthat in the ensuing year?
there was a great extensit n of the
area of land devoted to cultivation. ‘
Butif the farmer derives an im ;
mouse advantage from a shortage. as
indicated above, he is also subject to
the evil effects of producing a sur»
plus and thus inordinately cheapen~
11):: his product. The same writer
informed us that in 1671, with an
‘ average crop. the price was 46 shill
:ings 3 peace a quarter for wheat.
3 But in 1620 and 1621 abundant crops
‘ reduced the price to 27 shillings._
As a result of this great fall of prices
due to a surplus the farmers were
entirely unah 9 to pay their rents,
and the greatest sufi'ering and dis
tress prevailed throughout the agri
cultural districts of England. and as
usual in such cases the area devoted
to cultivation was contracted.
Numerous other examples might
be quoted from the the same and
other writers. but it is unnecessary
to extend this article by citing them
when We have so pertinent an illus—
tration in our own country. The
inordinate development of the wheat
growing industry in the United
States, and the multiplication of
cheap methods of transportation,
have brought to the deficit countries
such large supplies of wheat that‘
prices have been abnormally depress—l
ed for some years. This has resulted:
in acoxuparative contraction of the
area devoted to wheat raising in this
country. That 15 to say, with about
thirty millions more population in
the United States in 1887, there was
actually lees acreage devoted to
wheat than in 1880. Naturally this
has helped to bring the demand
abreast of the supply. and better
prices must result, unless our people
under their stimulus branch outso
extensively in the future as to again
put themselves at the mercy ol the
consumer,_ as the producer must
always be when he creates a great
surplus—S. F. Chronicle
The Effects of Free Trade.
In 1357. with a population of less
than one half the present population
and with a voluma of business not
une~fiftli as great as the present day,
them was u panic in the United
Status which resulted in failures. the
liabilities of which footed up $291,-
750,000. Thom has been no such
widespread dis {st-er since the war as
that which thirteen years oi free
trade brought to the country in 1857.
