with a good stock of cattle which he

he now enjoys peace and happiness for
the first time since he mortgaged his

will make him successful farmer and
man for business. He has Jared no
worse than merchants, lawyers, bank
ers and doctors that he knows and ne
ascribes The blame to himself and not
to the government. Last fall he voted
the alliance ticket jus: for Il "cbange"
but he fails to see in what way any
legislation passed or proposed would
have helped him out of the hole. But
most of our farmers will not have TO
go into bankruptcy. A good crop this

figures set out by the Arenas able
contributor is as powerful as his fig-
urcs are accurate-and these are based
upon official reports of governmental
origin. If the consumption must so
soon overtake the production OF the

Wheat Production.

The Arena for May contains a not
able PAPER upon "The Wheat Supply
of Europe and America" by G. Wood
Davis, the Wichita economist whose
recent studies upon kindred topics
have deserved and attracted wide
spread attention. No: only is Mi.
Davis a thinker and statistician, but
also he is an optimist in behalf OF the
future of agriculture. Within his
mental vision and the scope of his
ari,hmeti: there may he viewed near
by time when population shall have
overtaken and eaten production alive.
Granted all the possibilities OF expand
ed areas devotable TO wheat culture lie
believes that before five years have
passed--under the most favorable con-
ditions-the United States will have
become an importer instead OF an eX-
porter of breadstufIs, that Europe will
be casting about her for new fields TO
be made tillable, that prices must ill.,
eyitably attain and maintain a far
higher plane than has been known to
the world since the quinquennial per-
iod following the civil war, during
which the wheat production OF tie
United States averaged less than two
hundred millions of bushels annually,
worth $l.54 a bushel at local markets,
as against the average yearly output
of four hundred and thirty-fivc mill
lions, worth Is cents bushel, OF the
five years ending with 1889.
Nor is Mr.. Davis one who speaks
auCht except by the card. He shows
in many carefully drawn tables with
or we are drifting.
Alter 1874 for three successive i've
year periods, the average price OF
wheat steadily declined until 80 cents
a busheI had been taken from It's sell
ing price. Up to the period ending
with 1884 there was marvellous home

principally raising corn. He died a

land without a cent of incumbrance.
His land and the corn he carried was
worth fully 100000. During this
time ho paid from $4,000 TO $4,000
security debts. He was crank on
the subject of holding corn, carrying
10000 to 10000 in cribs for years at a
time. He raised as high as $4,000
bushels of corn in a year, and this
season his widow will have 400 acres

Practical Results.

Another chapter has been added 10
the history of reciprocity. Following
closely upon the completion OF the
reciprocity treaty with Brazil, comes
the news from the seat Of government
of Spain, that Premier Conovas del
Castillo, representing Spain, aud
Minister j. w. Foster representing the
United States, have agreed upon ana
drafted treaty, by which hereafter,
sugar. molasses, coffee aud hides are TO
he imported into this country from
Cuba, Porto Rico and the other Span
ish Antilles free of duty. Cuban to-
bacco, however, is not and could not
under our late tariff law be included in
the term OF this treaty. In exchange
for the free admission of the above
articles into the United States. Spain
speaking for Cuba, Porto Rico and the
other West India Islands will here
after permit the United States TO send
many manufactured articles and ma
chinery and wheat, flour, lard aud
petroleum To the Spanish Antilles free
of any duty in most cases and at
greatly reduced duty in others. The
great victory in this case is again for
the farmer and producer. Heretofore
American -four has been absolutely
out of Cuba by heavy duty amount
ing to prohibition, and in way max
ing -four cost the Cuban consumer $l2
Der barrel. Even at this high figure
Cuba alone consumed 100000 barrels
annually. Under the new arrange
nent entered into this high duty viii
be removed aud flour furnished the
Cuban consumer at rate OF ~ per
barrel. II is estimated by those who
are in position to know, that Cuba
will, on account of the cheap flour she
will now be able 10 obtain, furnish an
increased msrket for this product aud
that hereafter 1t will take 100000
barreis ann rally TO supply the demand.
Thus the good work goes on. In adj
dition 10 our splendid home market,
(the best OF cartb) the master hand oil
James G.. Blaine is reaching out, ana
here and there advancing our markets
beyond the interests of our own coun-
| try, and at The same time obtaining Tor
our own people cheaper necessities OF
life. and all this without throwing
down the barrier 10 the markets ct our
own country for the products Of our
farms. The remarkable increase in
the price of farm products recently
which promisesitO continue, taken TO-
gelher with the bright prospects for an
abundant yield all over the country,
would seem TO indicate the dawn OF a
better day for the farmer. The report
of the Census Bureau, recently made
public, shows that the supply Of farm
products in this country as compared
with the population has heen on the
decrease of rrrent years, and shows too
that the suburban or city population OF
the coumtry-tllat which furnishes a
market for the farmers-has increased
at a remarkable rate over that OF The
agricultural population.

Chairman Cannon of the House Appropri.

Chairman Cannon of the House Appropri-
atoms Committee, read his report on the last
day of the session of Congress. The aggre-
gate of appropriations for all purposes ex-
ceeds $545, COO, O00-a sum unparalleled in
the history of the nation. The estimated
revenues of the fiscal year are SAG, ZOO, 900,
so that a deficit of 500, 600, 900, at least, is
certain. No- will the trouble end here.
The scale of expenses has been raised to such
degree that vast amount of money will be
required for several years to come. So far
as can now be seen deficit will follow deficit,
and in a short time the government, which
had large surplus under the Cleveland ad-
ministration, will have floating debt of
considerable proportions on its hands.
The last Congress set the standard of
national expenses at the highest point ever
reached. 1t has inaugurated a policy which
years of economy and good management
cannot fully outlive, and the prospect of ad-
ding to the national debt is by no means a
chimerical dream.

Compressor rather the presents quite in

and the present will have four or six.
In the House the change is more striking.

50 are re elected, and there are but 81 Re-
pnblieans in the present House all told. A
Republican majority of 81. sixteen OF which
was made by unseating Democrats, has been
turned into Democratic majority of i49.
Very few of the prominent Republicans have
been returned, and from the roll will be missed
the well known names of Mckinley, Nc
