WESTERN Wharf.-The immense and increasing
product Of wheat in the Western States, may be in
ferrcd from statements whc hhave recently appeared
from authentic sources relative o the amount of
wheat which has been shipped the past season from
the several ports Lake Erie in the State of Ohio
The amount of wheat shipped from Cleveland in the
year 1910 is stated at 1855 $50 bushels. An amount
has been shipped from other ports on Lake Erie suf-
fcicn to make total of 5000 900 bushels exported
from Ohio the past year. About two thirds of This
amount passed through the New York and Erie Ca
nal, and the remainder through the Weand Canal
Only small proportion probably of this vast amount
found It's way 10 foreign markets. 1t very remark
able fact that the annual export of wheat and flour
from the whole United States foreign countries has
not average equacd that of Cleveland the past
year.
We have on another occasion remarked that the time
is at hand when the growing of wheat, will be denti
fed with the interest oftho westa much the grow
ing Of cotton is interviewer with the interes Of the
Southern States. And when this shall be the case all
national station calculated further the interest
of the 10 the neglect OF the other be toll
Grated with impunily. What course of nationaleg
slaton ought TO be pursued, what i'll be the po-
Icy governing the national councils, is subject re-
served for future remark. Suffice i: to say-it is n
matter Of history which one will deny, that The
South has many occasions sought and obtained
legislation from the General government suited the
peculiar branch OF industry, with which its interests
were identified. The North too, have claimed and
received at the hands of the national government
protection for those pursuits on which were based
their prosperity. If The history of the past then fur
nishes any data from which conclusions may
be drawn with reference TO future legislation it is
able to infer that the respective interests Of the
North and the South, will be urged upon the consid-
Grafton of Congress future In these controversies
the West will have interest maintain and voice
that mus: be heard If the cotton ofthe South through
the operation of The impost laws, finds its way unre
striced foreign markets and the wheat of the West
10 prohibited then certainly will the west be recrean
TO its Interests the people silent. Equality in
the operation of government principle dear to The
people.
The immense expectation OF wheat from Ohio du-
ring the past year. is but indicative of the incacula
bic amount, which will be produced IN the west with
in a few years. During the next three years the quan
tty now produced in Wisconsin, will be more than
doubled, The amount of W heat exported from this
Territory the past year, have not the means of
Determining but is certain there has been surplus
above the wants of the people, sufficient, to sustain
twice the present number of inhabitants in the Terri
tory. The future wheat market is therefore a mat
inr in which the people of this Territory are deeply
interested, and The prosperous condition of this mar
ket will depend more upon the general regulations
of commerce, than many are inclined to suppose
