The Corn Crop.
Inc March report Of the Department Of
Agriculture published the 10th, shows
the corn crop of 1890 to be the smallest
IN nine years, 10 proportion to the popu-
latlon, while the crop Of 1889 was the
largest for the same period Of time The
acreage for the year 1890 Was much
larger than that for 1889, but drouth and
unfavorable seasons were disastrous to
the yield. The amount produced in 1890
was nearly one third less the amount for
| 1889. The price of corn has advanced
In price since December from % to 5
cents per bushel; and some wild, high
tax enthusiasts have attributed thi.
advance to the Influence OF
the Mckinley tariff bill. But the rea,
explanation lies in the following facts
The amount of corn reported on hand
March lst, 1890, was nine hundred and
seventy million bushels. The amount
reported Ga hand March 1st, 1891 wa
i've hundred and forty two millions, O.
four hundred aud twenty millions les
than in 1890. The small crop is wha
advanced the price. If tie yield ha(
been as large or larger than in 1899, th,
price would have remained low, and tn
western farmer would have found
cheaper to burn corn for fuel than to bu
coal; and this would have been so i
spite OF mckinley tariffism.
