Farmers and Legislators.

va N~~~~s 8Aa AobAhAAtVks.
The Western farmer is in state Of
promising discomfort. Let us show him
some facts bearing on his condition.
The price of bushel of No. /. white
wheat in Cleveland for instance is 81 90
The price of pound of roasted Rio coffee
is IS cents, aud of pound of good yellow
crushed sugar is Is cents One bushel 81
wheat will therefore buy 5 % ;35 pounds Of
coffee or l3 pounds of sugar The price
of bushel of No ] white wheat in lS6(9in
Cleveland was S140 The price of a
pound of roasted Rio coffee was 20 cents
and the priceof pound of good yellow
crushed sugar was 8 cents. One busheI
of wheat would therefore have bought :
pounds of coffee or Is SO pounds of sugar
The purchasing power of the bashel of
wheat has therefore diminished, measured
in coffee about pound and a quarter, and
measured in sugar about d pounds. WHY
is this thus +?
The Western farmer blames the rail
ways. But we have taken the price of his
wheat at market as near as possible to
the place of its growth He also and
more Justly blames the tariff But one OF
the articles we have cited is on the free
list
The fact is that the exchange of wheat
for coffee and sugar is made with enor-
nous waste. The currency is inflated, and
no man can foretell its value for a day.
Gold fiuctuates from II to 20 premium
and the importers make their profit sure
by assuming the highest rate as the usual
rate and reckon Is per cent premium.
The freight is payable in gold, and the
same operation is repeated, The carriage.
labor, rent, and expenses are all exorbi-
tant. and for these the consumer has ulti-
mately to pay. And if that consumer is a
farmer his product is not measured BY
the American but by the universal stan
dard The price Of his wheat in Cleye
land is regulated by the price of it in Mark
lane. If the farmer buys a cup of coffee
at Delmenico' S he pays more for it and
must pay more for it at Delmonico's than
at a little coffee room on side street And
his coffee comes to him now in the most
expensive way Gun financial policy has
made this the most expensive country or
the face of the earth, as we viii give one
example to show In England the dutyor
coffee is ST cents pound Here coffee is
free. And, notwithstanding, in London a
Genital of wheat will buy more pounds Of
coffee than in New York
The price of red spring wheat in London
is lis. Cd a GENITAL The price of roast.
ed Rio coffee is Is. Cd pound. A centaI
of wheat will therefore buy r. pounds Of
coffee.
The price of red spring wheat in New
York is 81 "a for the GENITAL. The price Of
roasted Rio coffee is IS cents pound. A
GENITAL of wheat will therefore buy 6 l4-35
pounds of coffee-over a pound less than
in London.
Let the Western farmer ponder these
things and direct his Indignation against
the rightful objects of 1.-THE policy of the
Government and the instruments of il
which he helps to keep in power-N 7.
