Short Crops and Home Markets.

Mr.. j. S. Moore writes a letter from
the far West to the New York Times,
not, however, signing himself in this
instance GA Parsee Merchant" and
probably being unwilling to add "a
Parsee Farmer" to his other literary
aliases. Mr.. Moore is "the farmers
friend" when he is in the West, just as
he is 1.-The merchants friend" when he
is in the East, but always and ever the
Golden Clubs champion and advocate.
1t is rumored that the wheat crop will
be somewhat short In Dakota, and
thereupon Mr.. Moore reminds the
farmers of the West that their dimin-
ished crop will have TO compete in
Liverpool with the wheat grown by the
ill-paid ryots of India and peasants of
Russia, while what they buy with the
price of their wheat will be the pro-
duct of the well-paid and protected in
dustries of America. Therefore, says
Mr.. Moore, the farmers should labor
for the abolition of tariff duties.
We think that the farmers will be
quick to detect the suppression of the
truth and the suggestion of lie in Mr..
Moore's latest effort on behalf of the
Golden Club. For if it were true, and
it is not wholly true, that the price of
American wheat is fixed in Liverpool,
it would also be true that the price in
Liverpool would depend upon the sup
ply, being high when the supply was
scanty, and low when it was abundant
Now, although the American farmers
find a home market-thanks to protec-
tion-for nine-tenths of their crops, yet
the surplus of one-tenth which they ex-
port furnishes Liverpool with its chief
supply of wheat. So that upon the
greatness or smallness of the American
crop Liverpool prices depend. This does
not look as if Liverpool fixed prices
absolutely. But If the Dakota crops
are short there will be shortness in
the Liverpool supply, consequently
prices will go up. Consequently the
Dakota farmer may receive as much
for his scanty harvest as for previous
plenteous harvests. And If the great
home market which protection has Gre
ated did not consume nine-tenths of
all American farm produce the greater
part would have &c go abroad, thereby
