Mr.. j. B. Lawes, 4 recognized authority
on the question Of the crops and consump-
ron Of the United Kingdom, in letter to
the London Times, estimates the number Of
consumers at 81, go, as per census re-
turns, and the consumption at 5t bushels
PER capita, or fraction less than 22,000,0 900
quarters. Taking the home produce at "a
bushels per acre, Of 81 pounds to the BUSH
81, and the area under wheat at 3,773, 663
acres, the same as returned for 1870, the
gross produce Of the United Kingdom will
be about Ii, 125,0o0 quarters, from which
-4>d.A--I- ~ l..-s->l- E------i----l
there will remain for consumption as food
about 900 quarters, leaving require
nent OF over II, 100000 quarters TO be SUP
Piled from foreign imports. He says !:
How far this estimate is wei
founded, time will show. 1t may be that the
Wheat crop has suffered more in this than
in the average Of districts; but there can be
little doubt that, at any rate to many dis
tricts, the yield will be below the estimate
formed Of IL, and that disappointment will
follow the test of threshing. There are sew
"ral circumstances pointing to a large con-
sumption of bread during the coming harvest
year. Meat is exceedingly dear, labor is in
great demand, and fun wages are paid. The
Potato disease has appeared in various dis
tricts, and although it is too early to form
an estimate of its ravages, 1t is certain that
the crop will not be so plentiful nor 80 cheap
as it was during the past year"

there are those who {" plot against the creed

cause there are not offices enough TO 90
round" We presume that is true. There
Is no devotion TO principle in the parry, be-
cause it has not principle involved in its
organization that Is in the least likely 10
commend it to the people. Plumber consti-
tutes the nucleus of its existence. and. as a
consequence, those who are crowded away
from the public erib~aFe discontinued and
rebellious. While they are plotting against
the Sins" the Sins" are plotting to keep
the places they occupy, while the party
.'outS" "hew wood and draw water in or
der to keep them there. 1t is but plotting
and contemplating between factions for
place, power and plumber. The party has
no creed, save that which enioinS those in
power to "get al they can, and keep all
they get" Conkling is plotting TO keep his
place, and keep his friends in power. Fen
ton is plotting to keep his place, and get bis
friends nearer 10 the bountiful drippings
from the Treasury. That is all there is OF
Radicalisn. The factions hate each other,
and mutually hate the Democratic party be-
cause Of its exposure Of their deceit and
dishonesty. .a.t

mAprcALrsn, a NECESSITY.

1.-THE nation needs Radical party" says
Tilton's Golden Age. As constant warn
ing to the people Of the evils of total politi-
cal depravity the nation may need Radi-
cal party. As pain is necessary in the
economy of nature as a means of making
us appreciate pleasure, so Radical party
may be necessary as q means of making the
people appreciate the advantages of an hon
est Democratic organization. We can best
comprehend ideas by having something by
which We can measure them, and perhaps
we can better measure the advantages Of a
Democratic organization by comparing them
with the dishonesty and disadvantages OF a
Radical one. Upon these hypothesis alone
can we conceive of a necessity for the exist
ence of Radical party. Its whole being
has proven 10 be antagonistic to the best in
serests of the country, because exclusively
perpetuated for the personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of the leaders at the expense Of the rights of
the people.

dered it less able to consume American cot
ton or supply American consumers. And
eleven years of pretended regard for the la
.borers have only reduced the average con-
) umption of cotton goods from 1872 pounds
a r capita to 1l.Cs pounds per capita. On j
cause of the diminution of consumption
BY home manufacturers is the decrease
of exports of manufactured products and
that decrease, as all know, is chiefly due to
the increased cost of production resulting
from the tariff. Another cause of diminish
ed consumption is the inability of the people,
oppressed as they are by heavy burdens, to
buy and use of domestic products as freely
as they could before those burdens were
imposed by protection. Thus the tariff
which was designed to foster manufacture
proves its most deadly foe. The first rigid
application of the protective principle was
to aid this very industry, when the mimi
mum of % cents a yard was adopted in the
tariff of 1878. That same system of taxa
ton has now so completely arrested the
progress of that manufacture that its pro-
dacts are not greater IN proportion to popu-
lation than they were twenty-three years
ago.
