i.Over Production j" of Wheat.

In 1882 the world produced 2,187,.
600, 900 bushels of wheat: in 1884 only
5000, 900 bushels less; in 1886, 1000, 600
600 bushels; in 1889 1850, OOO, 900 bu-
shells; in 1890, 2,04O, OOO, 900 bushels.
These figures represent fairly the
yields of the intervening years, In
the meantime the worlds population
grows about per cent per annum:
If its consumption grew in the same
proportion-and it would if everybody
were getting his old time allowance
the yield Of 1882 should have grown
to $3.50, 900, 900 bushels, instead of
nearly 5OO,OOO,O 900 bushels less than
that. Such an increase would have
simply kept up the equilibrium be :
tween wheat and population, aud
should have kept prices up to the
1882 point; undoubtedly would have
done SO if natural trade laws had
been operative, If supply and de mand
had been allowed to regulate prices.
But we are told that lover produc-
ton" Of wheat was the cause of its
abnormally low price for few years
past. The over production" does
not seem to be OF wheat, but, by nat
ural inference, of hunger The people
now living on the earth have over 10
per cent less wheat to eat than they
had in 1882, yet there is an lover pro-
ductionn of wheat Funny isn't it.

The whole Union pays tribute now
to New York, and ancient Rome
never had the control of the finances
of its territory more firmly than New
York has now the control of the
finances of the United States, Ii
money is to be raised for any large
investment in any part of this coun
try, the moneyed men of New York
must be consulted, and they fix the
price of toll to be paid or veto the
Improvement, just as they please and
the price Of money loaned to the
farmers is fixed just as they fix the
price of all products of the soil. The
law of supply and demand governs
the price of these products between
the Spectator and the consumer, but
the producer is left to the mercy OF
the financial status when he wishes
to market his crop. 1t is q curious
fact that all the financial panics we
have had since the war, except one,
have occurred in the fall of the year,
just about or during the time the
crops begin to move, or are being
marketed. This can hardly be acct
dental.

Of the State and Of it,
People.

The SO called temperance organiza-
ton of the state has been in session
at DesMoines for several days, and one
would think from the tenor OF the
speeches made, that the people OF our
state were race Of habitual drunk
ards. The money sharks who are
fleeing the people in extortionate
interest rates owing to . money fam
inc created by legislation in the in
terest OF capital and against labor,
owe debt of gratitude to the per-
sons who charge the poverty of the
people to intemperance, instead Of
placing it where it legitimately be-
longs. Look about you, reader, in
your own neighborhood, and among
your immediate acquaintance, and
see if you don't find some OF the very
poorest persons Of your acquaint-
ance to be among, and of those
who have been industrious and tenn
peIate all their lives, and whose very
Strengthened circumstances have al
ways enforced upon them the most
rigid economy. The men who have
secured legislation that enables them
to reap where they have not sown
can rejoice ut such misleading false
hoods against the people Of Iowa; no
others should.

Who Shall Do It!

The Investigator, Atlantic, Iowa,
Says; No man can have a better rea-
son for agitating reform movements
than the fact that he is suffering un-
der uninproyed conditions. The man
who is poor and in debt and held
back by strong men who have all
sorts of advantages of him, is the
first man who should agitate a refor-
nation in our finance system; the
well-fixed man does not care to have
a change. Not infrequently do we
hear some rich man or his hireling
criticising and kicking poor devil.
who has lost his money through the
strength and cunning of others which
the law sanctions, for preaching and
agitating equality before the Jaw.
1t has always been the poor and
down-trodden and despised who have
brought about conditions of improve
ment in government and society.

Gov. Peck has the scoundrels in
more than four, pecks of trouble.
Suits have been instituted to recover
the money which they have embezzl-
ed through corrupt means. Their
method has been to take the moneys
collected through taxation from the
farmers and business men of the
state, and loan it to the banks pock-
citing the interest which .of right be-
longed to the people of the state
whose money had earned it. 1t is
proposed in the interest of peace to
compromise the embezzlement for
1900, 600, which will give the state
treasurers 100000 over and above
what their salaries amounted to.

Resumption unlocked vaults and
made gold once more, a part OF ma

can.
Instead Of that it opened the Gus
tom houses of the land to receive the
treasury notes at par for custom dues.
1t simply, on the unauthorized edict
Of the secretary of the Treasury,
wiped out one of the exceptions on
the greenback, that and nothing
more" With the exception in force,
the treasury note went out with
notice to the world that what the
government paid out for a dollar in
exchange for services Of the soldier
or civilian, for the munitions Of war
aud for commissary stores, it refused
to receive in payment of the taxes
due to it from the Citizen. All that
resumption accomplished was to
wipe that exception off the back of
the greenback. Gold was not neces-
aary when that was accomplished
and could remain in it's hiding place
without detriment to the public SER
vice.

The return to the states, by the

OF III ,OOO, 900, after having had its

Gus tom houses Of the United States.
IA a ton for the privilege of furnish
ing its tin plate.
The foreign importer is the most
generous, whole-souled don't-care-a-
cent fellow to be found on this ball
OF mud and water. Why, he is abso-
lutely seeking opportunities to give
away the products of the panper Ia
Dor of his country, and is only too
willing to pay for the privilege.
Should the duty amount to more
than the price Of the imported artic-
lie, without additional legislation, he
might refuse anything more than the
goods, in which event the people Of
this country will be compelled tc
hustle around Cor the money to pay
the expenses Of their government
This should not be permitted. W.
need legislation that will compel the
foreign importers to defray the ex
penses of the United States. In tina,
way we shall become the richest PEG
pie on the face Of the earth, enjoy
ing the fat Of the land and not pay
ing cent.

pays the duty, we have thrown away

against this loss has been made lin 9
