The Evil and the Remedy

The physician, upon visiting a sick
patient, and before prescribing medicine,
feels his pulse, examines his tongue,
aud enquiries into his mode Of living
The nature Of the disease being thus
ascertalned. the remedies are admins
tered accordingly. Let US apply this
common sense mode Of doing business
10 the disease under which the body po-
lilic, or, IN other words, the entire com
munlly, are now Iaboring
This disease is want OF profitable en-
ployment-waD Of remuneratng prices
for agricultural products-and want OF
sufficient circulating medium W hch
disease, with all its disastrous and fatal
effects, has been brought upon US by q
refusal Of our legislature TO re charter
the sound and solvent banks, and the
consequent withdrawal OF their note .
from circulation.
To this cause alone-the putting
down Of the bauks-may be attributed
the low price for wheat, the almost no
price for corn, potatoes, butter, oals, and
agricultural products generally, Some
persons insist upon it, that these low
prices and no prices, are caused by the
cessation or want Of a foreign demand,
We would ask such persons, when it was
tina. we had any better foreign market
than we have al present, for oats, corn,
potatoes, butter, eggs, &c.H And as to
the article oi wheat, the great staple Of
Ohio, when, within the last seven vears,
has the foreign demand been greater
than it is nowH
The following statement Of the agri
cultural products other than rice, cotton,
and tobacco, exported from all the States

years, as copied from official documents

For the same years, the value Of cot.

mount of 455 millions OF dollars, the
whole Of the grain growing States ca.
ported in bread stufrs, in the same length
OF time, 10 the amount Of only so mil
lions Of dollars!
The question now arises, How does it
happen that whilst the demand for our
bread sluffs, in foreign countries, has
been gradually increasing, e. was great
er last year than in any previous year
for seven years past, the price at home
has so greatly diminished
How does it happen, that in the years
1886, 1897, and 1888, when the foreign
demand was least, The price Of wheat
in Ohio was higher than in any other
similar period Of time within seven years
past2
Anticipating that the reader might be
startled at this assertion and inclined to
doubt it, we applied to Mr. James Means,
OF this city, for list of tho average
prices of wheat at his mill, for every
year for seven years past, and received
from him the following communication
