Mr.. Williams statements are an found,
on official das:
From a tabular estimate Of The eroD.
Tor lsi3. il appears that lhe Stale of Ohio
produces more Wheat Than any Other
State 10 The UriOn. viz: Il. $3.50. 7Os bush.
els. baing nearly One-6llh of The produce
OF the country.
! New York produces the most Barley
and Oats. viz: I s02. 9s2 bushels of the
iormer. o. nearly three iillhs OF The entire
produce. and 24,s07.5 bushels of lhe
latter or more than one sixth OF the
ahole.
Pennsylvania raises the Rye and Buck
wheat; that is 10 say. three-eighlhs of The
total produce Of the former, and nearly
one third Of the latter.
Tennessee grows the great quantity Of
Indian Corn, viz: Ga ,s25. AIT bushels, or
nearly one seventh Of the produce Of the
Uni"n.
The new Stale Of Michigan IL advance
ed rapidly in her agricultural career. The
hrsi year in which she supported herself
without importing wheat was 1888; in
1910. her production was 2, l57, los BUSH
els; aud ia 1874, her crop is estimated al
5,296.27l bushels, being a surplus of
nearly three MILLIONS Of bushels 10 DIS. !

he crops Of Iowa and Wisconsin have |
srebled since 1910.
Mr. Williams proves 10 demonstration,
that The great bulk Of bread stulis is con-
sSnlnmfdc IN the cnnairiss- where ihAu ara
The annual export Of Flour and whea.
from the United States TO all countries on
The face Of the globe, from 1890 10 the
present time, has not amounted to 4, 500,
600 bushels annually, and for the last
twenty five years have amounted to 4. 900,
600 bushels. Our annual export, there
fore to all The world, is equal to one lwen-
~ second part of the crop of ls43. Our
annual exports Of these articles 10 Great
Britain is less than one hundredth part Of
'he crop, being about one quart of bread
sun annually TO each inhabilant Of that
empire. Or other grams than Wheat the
oreign demand is equal to less than one
hree hundred and il,ielh part. Such
has been the foaeign demand, for our ce-
zeal grains during our whole existence
IS a nation, never taking off more than
mere fraction Of our annual produce, such
has been alike when relaxed and when
hey were most stringent; such has il been
when the whole carrying trade Of The
world was open to us, such has il been
when South American Republics slrug-
fling for existence, gave US markets, such
has II been while Europe was desolated /,
~ the wars Of Napoleon, such has it
'een while starr ing millions abroad were Z
:rying for bread. {
Even il the corn laws Of England were I
epealed and trade was open and Tree, the 4
American farmer could not supply her 7
market until he can place himself on a {
eyel with the serIs Of Russia and Poland. ,
II he can live as poorly housed and led q
IS they, il he can endure To go as meanly b
lad, Il he can content himself TO have his s
hlldren grow up around him as'ignor"nt r
$ his cattle, then he can raise wheat and {
ell il in competition with the European
erI." The average price Of wheat in c
he marke, of New York, Tor The last u
Iirty years has been one dollar and thirty T.
en.s per bushel, while at The gra n ex. d
"r.ing marls Of Europe it has been less Il
IAN one dollar" Y
What is our Home Market for grain! S
What has il been! What does it promise Il
, be! We have seen what the Foreign Il
iarkel is. II
1.-The census Of the population Of the Il
United States in l740 showed tina. 79l, h
l6 persons were employed in manufac- q
lres aud trades; and applying the usual u
lles Of calculation il is not TOO high an S
slima.e to say tina. fouI millions oil peo- Il
lie directly and indirectly derive subsis d
ence from manufactures; and being diver a
ed from the production Of grain become :
consumers. AT the low estima'e of five c
ushels of wheat annually-more than Il
,ur times the annual export TO all the u
gorld and more than twenty times the a
veragc export to Great Britain. The $
