THE YIELD OF CORN.

Corn is King undoubtedly, if the value of the
entire crops produced of cotton, wheat and corn
be reckoned. Several times the yield has ex-
cecded 800, 900. and now it is expected
to reach 1000, 100000 BUSHELS. and even it
only 20 cents per bushel should be realized by
the producer, less than corn is supposed 10 be
ordinarily worth for feeding TO cattle and hogs,
such crop would be worth 500, 200. 900.
When the country has produced over G.000,000
bales of cotton thus far, it has not been worth
TO the producer $50 per bale and when il has
produced over 4O0,000,000 bushels of wheat,
as the Western farmers well know, the average
price to the producer has not exceeded rs cents
per bushel Last year, with unusually large
crops, the Bureau estimate of the value to
producers was about 81 80, 90 200 for cotton,
1880, 900, 900 for wheat, and $3.50, 900, 900 for
corn. The estimates of the Bureau may per-
haps be rather higher than the actual return 10
the producers, but they nevertheless illustrate
with sufficient accuracy the relative importance
of these great crops. Hence the reports of in
jury to this most important crop have been
watched with unusual interest.
TIE Chicago Tribune of September 3 ex-
pressed the belief that the Southern half of the
corn crop was out of danger, but that the
Northern half was in doubtful condition;
very large proportion of the plants were still
green, tho prevailing moisture having kept
them back from maturity, so that severe trust
would be q serious blow to general business.
Since that date n severe frost has come in some
parts of the Northwest, bat it IL too carly TO
Judge how far the apprehendcd injury has re-
suited 10 the corn crop. The only thing quite
certain about it is that the spectators 90 both
sides will make the most of all reports favor
able or un!ayorable to the crop, according to
their interests. Dispatches published yesterday
expressed the belief, based upon quite cx-
tensiye information. that the frost thus far had
proved harmless in the greater part Of the ter
ntory still within the reach of danger, so that
fully three quarters of tho crop might be con-
sdered out OF harms way. II so, the yield this
year VIII undoubtedly be the largest GU record.
even though late injury should cause 1t 70 fail

surveys the record of England's dealings WIN
the conquered island, he cannot be surprised
that Mr.. Parnell should crave an opportunity
for Irish legislation in behalf of Irish M
dustries. From the time Of the conquest to the
opening Of the present century, the Engish
Government acted upon the principle that Ire
land must be made market for their manu-
features. One industry after another was de-
stroyed by repressive Legislation. The expor1a,
ton of live cattle from Ireland was prOhlDlteu
in the interest of English farnersj sbeep-farm-
ing and the manufacture of woollen goods we're
interrupted Irish brewers were driven out Oh
trade: one manufacture after another was
ruined and the population thrown back upon
the soil. There was single exception, uie
manufacture of brown and white linens, winch
was encouraged in Ulster by notifications OF
the navigation acts and by the payment ol
bounties and IL has remained profitaole ln
dustry to this day-a witness TO the prosperity
which might have prevailed in many industries
if English greed had not interviewed. When
the barriers of restrictive policy were thrown
down IL was too late for Irish manufacturers 10
compete with their English rivals, who had
accumulated masses of capital, firmly estab-
lished their business and given their artisans an
industrial training. Irish industries could not
be developed under English free trade. They
required the same degree OF encouragement
which American manufactures have secured
under high tariffs.
Have the Irish people any reason to be CRATE
full to England for the commercial policy unaer
which they have been ruined and I'M
poyerished, deprived of the beneiitsef diversi-
ncation of industry and driven into exile
They have P history and their leader has not
forgotten it. 1t is the history of a people inl-
poverished and crushed by the cruel greed Oh
England's commercial policy.

VIZ. P1RNELL 4 PROTECTIONLST.

IL. II
Mr. Parncl has filed the cup of England's
bitterness TO the brim. He has not only de-
manded the restoration of the Irish Parliament
of Grattan's time, with the veual House of
Lords left out. but he has also committed that
National Legislat Ire to the policy of protect
ing home industries. In his recent speeches he
has been rs explicit in his denunciatons of the
results of free trade so far as the island is con-
cerned as in his demands for the abolition of
landlord SUI. He tells the English people
plainly that Ireland will not be satisfied until
its delegation Is Withdrawn from Westminster
aud a Parliament of its own is in session in
Dublin and then in the next breath he warns
them that one of the first things that National
Legislature will be called upon to do will be to
establish strict protective system in the in
tcrest of Irish industries. This declaration has
had the natural effect of throwing the English
Liberals into an hysterical rage. The idea of
an independent Legislature empowered to deal
with the land question on Mr. llealy's principles
is enough to make them gasp and TO repent
having made so many virtuous attempts during
the last fifteen years to redress Irish wrongs.
But the prospect of having protection intro
duced in any part of the United Kingdom and
of having Ireland shut ont British naunlact-
urcs AID discriminate in favor of its own in
dustrics, simply drives them furious. Ii Mr.
parncll were Frcc-Trader they might forgive
HIM for keeping Parliament in uproar ana sue
cessfully defying British opinion. But when
they discover that he Is Protectionist and is
| anxious to develop Irish industries at the ey-
pense of English manufacturers and producers,
they can scarcey find words in which to express
their contempt aud hatred.
Yet when conscientious student Of history
