Grant, Garfield and Blaine. Recall
their exalted characters, their learn

On the lst Of August, 1887, it was S45,-

HOME CONSUMPTION.
Economic Truths Which American Farm
ers should Always Keep in View.

Economic Truths Which American Farm
ers should Always Keep in View.
The agricultural products of this
country. aside from tobacco and cot
ton, amount to about $1,000, 900 900
year. OF this enormous amount we
use about % per cent. at home, and
have only about s per cent. for eX-
port. The free trader fixes his eyes
on this comparatively small portion.
and urges that our farmers should
vote for free trade in order to increase
their exports. There are two absurdi-
ties in this line of argument rs far as
the farmers are concerned: First,
there is no legislation possible by
which the people of the world will eat
more than they do, nor by which
other countries can hs prevented
from raising the same products that
our own farmers do. Hence it is
impossible TO increase prices for
wheat, for instance, so long as the pro-
duction Is greater than the demand.
Second, the only way in which we
can have more surplus farm products
to export is by increasing their pro-
duction-and this a free-trade policy
will do. by driving them out OF manu-
featuring pursuits into forming. But
are low prices going to be increased
by increasing the amount produced,
when it is already so great "a to rem.
der production only slightly remuner-
ative?
The true line of policy for our farm
ers is to increase the home market, by
increasing our own consuming class.
Notwithstanding the enormous exten-
sion Of agriculture by the opening Of
countless farms in the newer portions
of the country within the past decade,
the increase of our homie consumers,
through the extension Ct manufacture
ing. has been so great that, as shown
above, we consume over nine-tenths of
our entire farming product and export
less than one-tenth. Had II not been
for this increase in our farming area,
we would consume at home every dol
lars worth of agricultural products,
and be independent OF the foreign
trade entirely. Toledo Blade.

A TABLE OF WAGES.
Figures That Are of Peculiar Value to
Free-Trade Working-Men.

Free-Trade WorIing-Men.
When the State Department began
its work OF collecting statistics as TO
the rate OF wages and cost of living in
Europe, rs compared with those in the
United States, Mr.. Secretary Bayard
and his subordinates had little idea OF
what a favor they were comforting
upon the advocates of protection gem
orally and Republican editors in par
ticular. The figures are always sug-
gestive as showing the vast difference
in favor OF the protected working-men
of the United States, and afford about
the best possible argument against the
change in our system proposed by the
Democratic party.
The following table of the rates OF
weekly wages paid in Europe and in
tne United States in 1884 is condensed
from the report Of the Secretary OF
State on the Estate Of labor in Europe. "
