in the course Of the last ten years corn has
during four years only sold rs high as sew
enty cents-that is in 1881, 1882 1888 and in
1891 since the month Of March In the three
years first named the price Of corn was IN
usually high because there was q very notable
falling OH in the volume of the European
crops,a and this depression in the European food
supply had to DO covered by the shipments
both of wheat aud corn from the United
States
In 1881 90, 6is.n7 bushels of corn were ex-
ported. In the fiscal year of 1890 1913, 3ls. 700
bushels went abroad. but for the iscal year
of 1871 there was an expectation of only 3d.
100000. The price of corn has been as high
in the fiscal year Of 1892. as far as it has pro-
crossed although the fore On shipments have
been even more insignificant than the ship.
ments OF the fiscal year 1891 AS the prices Of
1881. 1882 and 1888. when the demand from
abroad was so great The high price Of corn
at present a. compared with tie equally gh
price in the years named. appears all the more
remarkable when the reduction in the cost OF
tran p0rtation from the West to the seabcard,
which has been brought about in the course
OF the last decade, is recalled.
Unlike the price of wheat the price Of corn
is governed IN the long Iun almost entirely by
the domestic demand and supply, corn
bread being very popular article of food in
this country. but as vet il has not secured
tie favorable consideration of foreign popula-
tions-ibat Is TO an extent which would affect
the price OF the corn crop Of the United
States from year to year.
Tie aver 90 consumption OF corn in this
country is estimated to DO / 1856, 900 900 bush
els. but this by very many reputable authori-
ties Is thought 10 DO toolow as the consump-
ton is 10 many years raised Ell rmonsly by
an extraordinary increase in the number Of
cattle and hogs. The crop this year is an un-
usually large one. and unless there is a for
egn demand for it decline 10 tho present
price would seem inevitable As long as the
European populations can buy wheat or rye
at the present. priee OF these grains they will
bav< but little inducs,nent to buy American
corn. Whether the price of corn remains as
IL is. its consumption will DO practically con-
fined to this country.

If Waterloo had terminated Success

THE ELECTIONS.

The results Of the elections held Yesterday
are almost exactly as forecast by THx TINS.
Full returns have not yet been received, but
the indications are that Mckinley has carried
Ohio by q decided majority. and that in New
York. Massachusetts, and Iowa the Democrats
have been successful Pennsylvania has in all
likelihood gone Republican.
The result in Ohio was expected because
the State has always been a Republican
stronghold, and always casts its ballots for
the Republican ticket whenever that
year every nerve was strained by the Repub-
licans because high tariff and the fate OF
Radicalism in the country was at
stake. and. therefore, they could not afford
10 lose the State Governor Campbell made
noble and gallant fight, but he had to con-
tend against old pre-. udices combined with
tie capital of the benefciarieS of the Nc sin
leyism which was Concentrated against
him. For this reason it was not at all difficult
10 foreshadow the result.
McKinley's victory. however. would not
have been so easy but Tor two plauks in
tho Democratic platform which were
decidedly un-Democratic. These were
tho resolution in favor Of the free
coinage Of lightweight Bland silver
dollars, and the one in favor of taxing in
comes in proportion 10 the wealth OF the tax
payer. The result shows that thinking
people neither last West. North nor South
want debased silver currency which will
drive 7OO.OOOO)O Of gold out of the
country, and not only bring about contrac-
ton Of the currency to tat extent but will
also give Us d contracted circulation OF cheap
money. Livery man. woman and child in tie
land. rich OF poor high or low. must neces-
sarily suAer greatly from such a condition Of

have fully realized.
AS to the proposed graduated income tax.
that was both impract.cable and un-Demo-
cratic. No wonder it was obnoxious to all
sensible ueople in the State irrespective Of
party. Republican corruption money would
have defeated Campbell under any crcum-
stances, but his defeat was greatly accelerated
by these two unfortunate plsnks of the Dem
ocratic platform.
The general result is to leave the presiden-
tial situation Just where it was. 1t shows that
the West cannot be yet relied on to vote
with the Democracy, and that New York
must still remain the pivotal State Who
ever can tie more easily carry New
York next Noveml er, therefore. will be the
man on whom the Democracy Of the country
must rely TO insure a Democratic successor
to President Harrison.
