! Possibly some of the other three States
may not have produced quite SO large an
tamoun. in proportion TO their population
for expectation, as Illinois; but if we add
Missouri and Wisconsin, we think it
probable that it would carry the amount
lup to our estimation.
Now can any man doubt, that this
Iamount rapidly produced for the market,
accompanied, too, by such trillng in
crease in the number of consumers on the
sea board, must contribute greatly TO the
decline of prices of grain.
< For our part we entertain no doubt up
on the subject.
j The measure of the administration for
the last ten years have constantly been
pressing down the non-agricultural classes
'of the community and driving individuals
from those classes into agricultural pur-
4 suits, thus reducing the consumers and
increasing the producers. sbE
In this way the fair, equal, natural and
advantageous balance which should exist
(, between producers and consumers was
] destroyed, and now it will take series
of years to swell the latter class suffi-
GENTLY to afford the farmers the same
prices for their grain which they received
some years ago. a H..
4 The prices Of manufactured articles
will assume their old rates much sooner
than grain, because all classes of the
community are consumers of those arti-
cles, and the embarrassment and pressure
upon manufactures was induced mainly
4 by the arrangement of the currency, and
+ the destruction Of confidence caused By
the measures ofthe present administration.
The election of our present rulers from
power, and the Introduction of more wise
| and patriotic men, will remove much of
the embarrassment under which the man.
Iufacturers labor, but time alone can en-
hrely restore the proper condition of
things in relation TO the farming interest.
The mere restoration of confidence by
the election of new rulers will, no doubt,
have some effect, but the immense pro-
ducts of the rapidly swollen population of
! the new States cannot very soon find
, satisfactory market.
We notice this matter now, to show
f that the mere restoration of confidence
cannot, at once, so far as the farmers are
concerned, entirely remedy the evils
caused by the over great stimulus applied
10 the increase of agricultural products.
