Relative Value Of Home and Foreign Mark

On the relative value of the home

ing statistics from the report OF the
Bureau of Statistics:
In 1882, we produced in this
country 1,G17,025, 100 bushels of
corn, OF which only IL $50, 9j3 bush
els, or about y per cent, was ex'
ported, while 971 per cent. was con-
sumed at home.
In the same year we produced
5Oi,1 Sj,47G bushels of wheat, OF
which $50, 7Sj, G9G bushels, or %!
per cent, was exported, and the
exports for the present fiscal year
will not exceed 20 per cent. of the
crop.
In the same gear we produced
900, 100000 pounds of wool, and ex
ported only Gi,i7i pounds, or
scarcely one.fourth of l per cent, OF
the clip.
In the same year scarcely 10 per
cent. of our hogs, cattle, pork, and
beef was exported, and over 30 per
cent. was sold in tic home mark

and tobacco, only Sper cent Of orr
home products lcere exported, tch'ic
81 per cent. rds sOh IN our lame

the farmers of the West that the

The leading Democratic papers
in this State are divided on the

a Republican or Independent for
thinking that tariff is better for
Virginia than Internal Revenue :
If we can do without either, which
should it be? That is thequestion.

There is nothing taxed by tariff
that is made in any part OF the

home machinery we buy it for less,
and our population has increased
twenty millions to eat what the
farmer has TO sell. But for this our
products to-day would not pay the
cost of production.

WHEAT.
All past experience teaches us
that no nation can be PROSPEROUS
on agriculture alone. For exam
pies look at Egypt, Turkey, India,
Ireland, Norway, and Sweden, cOun-
tries almost wholly given up toagri-
cultural pursuits. Labor in Sweden
is worth I cents per day, in India
and Turkey > to 8 cents per day.
England furnishes most of these
people with their manufactured
articles. In the first place II muSt
be borne in mimi Hdf929 per- ccrf.
Of orr agricultural products, crccpt
cotton, are consumed at home, and
the remainder Z! per- cent, is export
Ell. Now, the question arises
would it be best for us 20 give up
our own market by throwing these
people out of mechanical employ
ment, or had we best do all we can
to hold the home market and as
much of the foreign as is possible
without destroying our own? We
also fRd hdt 9S per- cent. Of all our
mdnHtdcta ed products are consumed
IN OHr OrR country. Out of $780,
5l9,l9l Of manufactured articles
only S111, $50, 00l are exported. 1t
would be better to sink the y per
cent. Of agricultural products in

would be the inevitable result If we
cease to protect our own indus.

they want TO compete with the

low out this logic. There are paid

would reduce the purchasing pow

The third annual convention of the
Dickinson county Sunday School Asso-

this city on Wednesday and Thursday
of last week, the lecture being an highly
Instructive one, much interest being
taken therein by those in attendance.
4 large number of earnest members
were present, and much good work was
done. One of the most important sub
jects brought before the convention was
that of establishing a graded system in
the schools The idea was favorably
looked upon by a majority of the con-
ventiOn. The proceedings were deemed
of such Importance that they were Or
dered to be issued in pamphlet form.
Four boys of respectable parentage
were arrested last week for petty thiev-
ing. A railroad labOrer's tool box, in
the park in the rear of Brady & Co. s Of
fee, was used as a receptacle for the
stolen goods, and was filled with mis-
cellaneous assortment of small articles
which had been pilfered from several
stores. Nearly all of the goods were
reclaimed by differe..t merchants,
Barnes & Northcraft heading the list
by identifying about SIS 90 worth of
odor cases, jewelry cases, etc. Such an
evidence of juvenile depravity in our
midst is to be deplored. The parents
of the boys should teach them such a
lesson that they will in future mend
their woys, and learn to know that
nothing but disgrace and shame, both
to themselves and their relatives, are
the certain results of dishonesty.
