Of cannons. The millions who are
enfisting iu its ranks are marshaling

langnishing, dropping, dying. Instead
OF the happy, cheerful cong OF plenty,
~contentment and peace, which
should bless the home of the Ameri-
can farmer, we hear the dismal and
universal wall OF hard times all
over the land.
Let US investigate. briefly, the
situation aud see if we may fnd the
cause of this unnatural and danger
Gus condition of affairs.
In 1850 our farmers owned over
10 per cent of the wealth of the
country; 10 1860. about so per cent;
lin 1880 about 80 per cent. and to
day they own less than % per cent,
and yet they pay over so cents in
every dollar that is collected 10
taxes.
From 1850 to 1860 farm values
increased l0l per cent.
From 1860 TO 1870 farm values
increased 43 per cent.
Notwithstanding this alarming
decline in farm values, the ag.
gregate wealth of the country, in.
creased As per cen from 1870 to
1880, and the agricultural popula
ton increased over 90 per cent.
From 1850 to 1860, agriculture
led manufacturing 10 per cent iE
increased value Of products; from
1870 to 1880, manufactures led
agriculture 27 per cent, showing a
difference in favor Of manufacturing
of 81 per cent. /!
The value of the ten leading
staple crops of the country in 1866
was $2,007 ,462,23I. The value of
the same crops in 1864, eighteen
years later, $2,O43 ,500,43l. During
this time the cultivated acreage had
nearly doubled, the farm hands had
doubled, and agricultural nipple
ments and machinery had vastly
improved, and yet the crops Of 1884
sold only 2 per cent more than the
anne crops of 1866.
The average value per acre in
yield OF all our crops in 1867.
years later, the average
value vas about SO.
Wheat. 1860 to 1870, average
