Farmers Home Market.

In answer to the query, "what per
cent of all farm productions are con-
sumed in this country" the Inter
Ocean has given some figures which
should furnish interesting food for
reflection to political demagOgues who
are industriously trying to tear down
"our American system of protection"
The exports of agricultural and
manufactured products for 1888, the
last year of which perfect reports are
at hand, were:
Animals $50 9iS
Breadstutfs III, l9l s6SI
Cotton and cotton seed .oil........ pa, 942 ,499
Miscellaneous farm products......... 36.94s,s9
Total agricultural exports, 1883. .s49s, 966, C29
Total agricultural exports, lSS7......$s2O s2O,754
Exports of American manfs ctmes
for lSSS....--...:.... sos, S62, lO4
The value of breadstuffs, which COM
prise all kinds of grain and flour, for
1888 was 81 ,2O4, 2S9, $40. So that the
export of breadstuffs amounted to
about one-tenth of the crop.
Sir Lyon Playfair, an eminent
British free trader, speaking to a meet
ing of voters at Leeds, which is the
chief city of the British wooden manu-
featuring district, very recently told
his hearers that in twenty years from
now they would have to look elsewhere
than to the United States for their
grain supplies. "For," he said,
"if the relative increase of farm pro-
ducts and of manufacturing population
continues for the next twenty years in
the same ratio as for the last ten the
manufacturing and trading people will
consume all that the farmers can raise
in America" His prediction would
seem to be well inside the mark, for
while our wheat production has shown
no average of increase during the past
ten years our average of consumption
has increased greatly. In 1878 the
total output Of wheat was AZ, 100, AIS
bushels, of which we retained only
272, 6sI 1865 for home consumption. In
1888 the output was 416, OO3, 1851 bushels
of which we retained 927, ISL, 1893. In
1887 we retained 1886, 7S5, 169 for home
use out of a total of 456, 922, 800. The
decrease in our wheat exports has been
very steady during the last ten years,
it being 149, sos, 553 bushels in 1873,
against only 1892, 462 in 1888, al
though the wheat crop of 1878 was
greater than that Of 1888. This does
not look as if we need trouble ourselves
concerning foreign grain markets, so
far as wheat is concerned at any rate.
During the last six years there has
been but slight increase in the acreage
under wheat or corn, the figures being
as follows:

But the increase between 1859 and
1880 is very marvellous, it being 10, 49,
0O4 acres for the former and 81, 1856, III
for the latter. The same ratio rules
in corn, of which there were but 81
1O3, 245 under cultivation in 1859
against 81, S17, S42 in 1880. Between
these years was the great rush on the
new farm lands of the great west, and
in these years many, lperhaps most,
of the farm mortgages of which we
hear so much were laid. Since 1880
the tendency to farm occupation has
been somewhat checked by the oppor-
tunities of employment in trade and
with the result of
home market for farm products extend
ing more rapidly than the increase Of
such products.
