We have little hesitation IN predicting

OUR EUROPEAN MARKET.

More and more evident does il become
that our great market for nearly all our
Agricultural productions is TO be found
il the dense populations across The AT
laptic. We have heretofore shown how
FULLY khis IS the case in respect to wheat,
beef, pork, etc. And now we find that
even our butter market is ruled by the
European demand. We quote:
"TAe market is glutted with butter OF
Western Manufacture, and consumers
wonder at It's stiff price. Good butter Is
sold at from forty to forty-five cents D
pound st wholesale. Ii has been said
that the high price Of butter is due to
the heavy exports TO foreign countries.
a vast quantity was recently shipped TO
England, and il reported that thei ex~
ports have more than doubled within .
wear. In round numbers Y 600. GOO
pounds were sent 10 foreign ports, IN
increase OF I 100000 pounds over the
export in 1875. Men who deal extern
siyely il butter say that it is impossible
to clear the market OF the great quanti~
ties sent from the West to this city, and
that Il il this kind OF butter that is eg-
ported at from twenty-five to tnirty>tve
cents pound Home consumers who
want the best butter. and made in this
state, must pay good prices for it."
All this goes to show that the real
greatness Of the United States rests upon
It's agricultural productions. And this
points the argument IN favor OF Tree
trade We can supply Europe with
vast quantities Of food because we have
an illlnitable expanse otnewand cheap
| lana: we have ccmpirativel Y
sparse population but. At the same time
aa energetic and intelligent one, able Il
cheaper production by the use of labor
saving machinery. Against these ad
vantages Europe, with its small farms
its high priced lands. and It's dense pop
ulation cannot compete. On the Other
hand the European countries, notably
England, have dense populations, CHEAP
labor, abundant capital and low rates 0
interest. all essential to cheap manu-
features, and these advantages we d
not possess.
1t would clearly be extreme folly 10
England to enhance the price of food
all her people for the purpose OF protect
ing her high priced lands against IN
co mpetition ofour cheap prairies. An
on the other hand is it not equal Jolly to
our government TO enhance the price {
clothing and all other forms Of manu-
| features to protect our sparse populatio
and high rates OF interest against con
petition with the dense population an
cheap money OF England?

ty five per cent Of these eggs will hatch
and the Young be distributed in the
waters OF the State. The greater part
will be deposited in Lake Michigan.
The returns for money invested IN fish
culture is enormous-500 per cent. Is
not high estimate. The fisheries of
the Dominion Of Canada for the year
1875 Welded $1,000 900 worth OF fish
more than in any year before artificial
Matching was begun. 1t is reasonably
estimated that water with less culture
can be made 20 yield more food per acre
than land.
Illinois has nearly 100000 acres OF
water which will grow many good va
rietv OF fish. and State like this cannot
afford to let this water remain almost
Idle, as it is. SEEMING and netting OF the
fish Just at the spawning season, ana
using ola seine with b mesh SO small
that al fish are taken, and tho young
ones thrown away and destroyed, should
be prohibited. Fish culture IS the ag>
riculture OF the waters, and il no others
urged the Legislature TO pass laws Tor
the protection Of fish the State Board OF
Agriculture ought to DO So"
Poor as cur people are we hope the
Legislature will not loose sight of the
great question Of fish culture, but will
make reasonable appropriation TOR its
development.
Itwould be a curious study to ascer-
tain how far our people already draw
their food supplies from the lakes and
rivers of the State; especially in the
grasshoppered regions And ii we car
substitute for the pickerel the lake trout
the salmon and the white fish, we are
supplying our people with the most de-
icate and nourishing food.
