In only four products did imports ex-
ceed exports. These were barley, hay,
potatoes and eggs, neither one of which
can ever become product of general
interest to all farmers. Moreover, If it
eap be shown that the tariff on these
products raises the price to our pro-
ducers, II must be remembered that
many farmers are themselves buyers OF
some of these articles This is espe-
cially true Of potatoes, since the potatoes
grown in more northern climate are
always best suited for planting or seed
In this way the farmers in the south
use northern grown seed almost en-.
tircly; and many northern farmers get
their seed potatoes from Canada.
Eggs are product in which only
limited number of farmers Glong the
Canada border need fear competition.
Eggs can never become subject of
deep interest to the farmers; the busi-
ness is too small an industry.
The imports of hay are too insignif-
cant to effect the prices of our home
product; and barley is crop in which
our farmers as whole have but little
interest
Mckinley's farmers tariff" is an
open, undisguised attempt to deceive.
The great outward flow of farm pro-
ducc makes McKinley's duties on these
commodities extremely ridiculous, and
to suppose the farmers are going to be
deceived by this is to credit them with
very small measnre Of intelligence.

Minnesota's Farm Land.

Figures collected by the Tribune
point to the conclusion that in sale
OF farm lands to actualfarmers, 1891
has been the banner year in the
history OF Minnesota. Loral dealers,
railroad companies and the govern
ment land Offices tell the same story.
The demand has been phenome-
nal throughout the entire wetsern
half OF the state, from the Iowa
boundary, to the Red River Valley.
The number OF farms sold, the price
per acre and the total acreage
all show q marked volume of in
crease. A most satisfactory charac-
teristic OF the sales is that they are
in small lots and to actual settlers
and cultivators. Minnesota's crop
returns are an advertisement OF the
states agricultural resources, sufii-
cient to make the land ellitselfwith-
out the aid Of agents. The sharp
demand and large sales sAte pushing
up The prices and enabling farmers,
by the sale Of a few acres from their
holdings, to secure emancipation
from debt. The prospect is, there
fore, the settlement OF the state by u
thrifty and debtless class of indie
pendent agricultural yeomanry on
small and we'll cultivated farms-the
most desirable status to Which an
agricultural section can attain.
Such a yeomanry is to commerce a
foundation, to society a source OF
energy, and to republican govern
ment a pillar OF patriotism and sta
ity.-Minneapolis Tribune.

Selling the Property Of Others.

The Philadelphia Record asserts
that there have already been sold
5O,OO0;OOO bushels OF new wheat to
go to Europe during the next three or
four months. This reveals the plans
OF the spectators. They began to
sell farmers wheat before it was Iar-
vested, sell property not their own,
and sold it on the assumption that
this fall, as heretofore, the farmer
would allow them to put their, own
price on his wheat when he got ready
to sell it. AS exhibitors OF gall, the
wheat spectators beat the record
when they deliberately sell to deliver
within a few months haH as much~as
we exported during the whole OF last
year. 1t indicates how completely
they regard themselves masters Of
the situation, and the farmers OF the
country. The sellers Of those so,
100000 bushels Immediately became
powerful and constituencies conspira-
tors against the prosperity and
homes, il not the "peace and digni-
ty," Of every Industrial worker and
legitimate business man in the land
and they should be treated as are
thieves and assassins Those fellows
made gigantic wagers that wheat
would not exceed a certain price, and
at once proceeded TO make the wager
good by using the power conferred
by enormous wealth to depress the
price to the uttermost. Yet there
are people who contend that wheat
gambling is in the interest ofthe pro
Queer! The selling of that wheat
goes long way towards not only
iustifying, but making Chritian
virtue OF the issuing OF that celebra-
ted wheat circular a few weeks since.
1t may result in teaching specializing
brigands lesson they will not soon
forget, teach them to hereafter sell
their own property only, not that OF
others.-Farm, Stock and Home.
