THE FOOD QUESTION in GERMANY.
Facts That Add One More Country TO
Our Grain Market.

oui Ofdih
WASHINGTON, Sept 4.-Consul General
Mason, of Frankfort, in report to the
state department on what he terms the
German crisis in breadstuffs, presents
some very interesting statements respect
ing the most notable commercial event of
the year in Europe-the Russian decree
forbidding the expectation of rye from
Russia to any foreign country. This Mr..
Mason regards as equivalent to an official
declara ion that the harvest of cereals in
Russia so deficient that the export of
rye must be forbidden in order to avert
danger of famine there. Mr.. Mason pre-
sents some data which shows how SER
iously this unexpected edict is likely TO
affect the bread supply OF Germany. Very
little pure wheat bread, he says. is eaten
by the middle and lower classes in Ger
many.
Five-sixths of the supply Cut oT.
The staff of life" to vast majority of
the German people is black bread, made
with -four ground from a mixture of rye
and an inferior quality of wheat. The
consumption of this material is so enor-
nous that Germany imported 947, ,315 tons
of rye, O. which S. per cent. as we'll as 55
per cent. of the whole import of wheat
into Germany, came from Russia. The
recent e1ict therefore cuts off nearly FIVE
sixths of the entire foreign rye supply of
Germany. How difficult it would be to
fill this great deficit by increased impor-
tations from other countries, Mr.. Mason
says, will be evident from the fact that
the entire export of rye to Germany from
1854 to 1883. from six countries which
rank next to Russia as producers of
cereals, averaged but 6,14?, 331 bushel
year.
Must Send Over Here for Bread.
The deficit in Germany cannot be filled
from any source of supply on that side of
the Altar tic, and the effect of the situa-
ton upon the rye market has been start.
ling. On the third of August last the
effect of the meagre harvest had raised
the market price to $50 "a per ton. Then
came the Russian edict, and within two
weeks the price had risen to sol IS per
ton. Ado this to short and inferior
potato crop throughout nearly the whole
of Germany, and it will be seen. Mr
Mason says, that the food question there
has assumed an ominous aspect, and in
the end tho people of Germany, like
those OF France and England, will have
to draw on the well filed granaries Of the
United States for a large part of their
food supply during the coming year

co wARDLY GOLD.

Some one has set sAoat on the sea OF
Journalism this very truthful estimate Of
what many conceive TO be the superior
and more useful Of the money metals:
"No people in great emergency ever
found faithful ally in gold. II is the
most cowardly and trsacherous of all
metals. II makes no treaty il does not
break. 1t has no friend it does not sooner
or later betray. Armies and nations are
not maintained by gold. In times Of panic
and calamity, shipwreck and disaster, 10
becomes the agent and minister Of ruin.
No nation ever fought great war by the
aid Of gold. On the contrary. in the cri.
sic OF the greatest peril. it becomes an
enemy more potent than the foe in the
field; but when the battle is won and
peace has been secured, gold reappears
and claims the fruit Of victory. In our
own civil war it is doubtful II the gold Of
New York and London did not work us
a greater injury than the powder and
lead and iron Of the rebels. II was the
most invincible foe OF the public credit.
Gold paid no sailor. II was worth most
when our fortunes were the lowest. Every
defeat gave it increased value. II was
in open alliance with our enemies the
world over, and all its energies were
evoked for our destruction. But as usual.
when danger had been averted and vic
tory secured, gold staggered to the front
and secured the supremacy.
