Prohibition the Great Issue.

The American people are getting to
he in dead earnest about the evil eff
feet of unrestricted liquor dealing.
The most significant vote given re-
Gently was that in Maine, where
there was majority of over 10000
for a prohibition constitutional
amendment. Maine was the first
State to legally discountenance the
sale of intoxicating drinks. A whole
generation has grown up under a
rigid enforcement of the pr0hibatory
law, After trial of over thirty
years, the people of that State are all
but unanimous that liquor shall not
he sold as beverage. 1t is notable
circumstance that on every direct
vote, the popular will is always
against free liquor selling. When
ever the naked issue was presented,
as in Iowa and Kansas, prohibition
was adopted by large majOrities. So
great is tne progress OF lhlS leeIlnS
that it is morally certain if vote
were taken by the whole nation for
or against liquor, that the prohibit
tionists would poll two to one. In
Maine, the women stood at the polls
all day long, beseeching the men to
cast their ballots against liuuorsell'
ing. Should women ever vote in
this country, they would put a stop
to nine-tenths of the liquor selling
within decade after they had re-
ceived the franchise. Prohibition
has come into the politics of oul
country and has come to stay.-De0''

The Wheat and Corn Crops.
@0"
Secretary.
From the London Times.

From the London Times.
Messrs. j. NJ. Douglass and Co.,
make the following remarks on the
bearing of the wheat and corn crops
of the United States on American
prosperity:
"There is a delusive cry both in
America and here that the crops of
wheat and corn are to give imnedi-
ate prosperity but, in fact, the
wheat crop, reckoned by the govern
ment this year at 500 millions Of
bushels, is just the average of 1880
and 1882, which the government
reckoned at 49S and 504 millions. But
proportionally to population and to
railroads it is much less. There is
about one ninth part less wheat per
inhabitant and two-sevenths less per
mile of railroad than in 1880. When
price is taken into account it is much
worse. No. red wheat for the last
four years averaged in January at
New York $l.20 but the price for
next January is under SO cents, which
allows liberal advance from the
present prices. The result is that the
value of this wheat crop is as near as
may be one-third less per inhabitant
than the 1880 crop at the average Of
these years, and almost one-half less
per mile of railway. The corn crop
has been loudly puffed, but last ad-
vices make its greatness a little I'M
certain. Besides this, comparative
ly little is exported, and the surplus
crop has to be used in feeding pigs,
which have decreased in number Sc
riously ever since the bad corn crop
of 1881, and we observe that the
government authorities have just re-
ported further large decrease this
year. This will limit the valuable
pork trade. Much of the corn is PROV
ing OF low quality"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1884-11-01

A few comparisons will show some
thing of what protective tariff under
Republican administration, has ac-
complished for the country: The
various metal industries of this coun-
try in 1860 gave employment to
about $4,000 hands. To-day the same
industries give employment TO 800,
900 hands. In 1860 these industries
consumed 100 million dollars worth
of metal. They now consume $50
million dollars worth, and the value
of the annual product has increased
in that time from $50 million to 900
million dollars. In 1864 American
contractors were paying $50 to 500
per ton for English steel rails. In
1884 American manufacturers pro-
duced the same quality of rails at $50
per ton. In the year 1860 we import.
ed 227 million yards of cotton goods
from England. In 1881 only % mil
lion yards, while the same year the
exports reached $50 million yards.
In 1860 we imported nearly one-third
of all wooden goods used in America.
Now we import but One-tenth, aud
within the same time a protective
tariff has increased the number en-
plOyed in the wooden industries from
60, 900 to 100000. In 1860, about 130.-
600 persons were engaged in indus
tries relating to wood. To-day, 340,-
600 are so employed. The annual
product of our coal mines since 1860
has increased from ii million tons to
SO million tons, or nearly seven fold.
In 1860 our iron mines produced
about 100000 tons of ore. To-day
they produce million tons. or nearly
nine times as much as then. The
silk industry gave employment in
1860 to about 5000 of our people. In
1890, 10000 were thus employed,
while the value of the products of
our mills has increased from six to
forty million dollars, and the con-
sumner of the silk pays about thirty
five per cent. less for it than he did
in 1860. The same ratio of gain exists
in relation to all the leading indus
tries of the country. The wages of
the Iaboring man in every depart
ment have advanced from 40 to 50
per cent.
