ducing corn ut dead loss. How
great that loss is we are unable to
tell, but when we consider that the
average Weld for Nebraska is given
at 81 s bushels, and considering
that the average for the United
States must be much below that fig
ure aud also considering that the
average yield for period of seven
years will still lower the amount, we
must conclude, that raisers are
getting down to bankruptcy just
about us fast as they well can. W
Now we have taken one crop to
slow that farmers are, in that crop,
farming at dead loss. How much
better is it in other crops Z If it is
cotton, the more cotton the less mon
ey. If it is beet, we find that cattle
has followed corn, at a break-neck
pace. If hogs, cholera, short crops,
and the Armours have licked the
platter. If wheat, we find that
wheat, a few weeks since, was low
er 10y five cents in Liverpool than
it had ever been, and lower In New
York city, with the exception of one
year (that Of 1884, than it had ever
been known. If farmers would look
to their own interests, politically,
as thoroughly as they attend to their
crops, they would be much better
of and still not work so hard.

Cleveland Writes.

Mr.. Cleveland has written. No
one expected him to say anything,
therefore no one is disappointed. In
his letter of acceptance, there is the
usual multitude of words without
meaning. While he Justly attacks
the tariff as being "a pernicious sys-
TEN of taxation, he proposes to con
tinue it for purposes of revenue.
Mr.. Cleveland well knows that the
revenues of a government cannot be
cut down, in growing nation, with
growing interests, and, that, in CON
sequence, tariff revenue, if the
revenue is to meet expenses, must
rather be increased than diminished.
If the tariff system is wrong, it is all
wrong.
If, as Mr.. Cleveland claims, the
present tariff imposes burdens on the
masses, will it not CONTINUE to i'm
pose burdens as long as it has an ex-
isteuce ? Nj. Cleveland ought to
know that there is not particle of
difference between a tariff for reve-
nue., and protective tariff, in so far
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1892-10-06

as both are partners OF SYSTEM OF
taxation, and in the matter of who
pays the tax. If there is any tariff
whatever, the American manufacture
er will reap the benefit in proportions
to the amount of duties collected, so
that any tariff is protective tariff.
Now, Mr.. Cleveland proposes to
cut down expenses, yet he well
knows that expenses of our govern
ment must necessarily grow, unless
pension legislation is repealed, or
the salaries of government officials
are cut down. Under existing laws,
both the pension bill and the sala-
ries bill must grow larger. More
men will be placed on the pension
roll, and more men will be needed to
fill government Offices.
Mr.. Cleveland's suggestion, to
practice economy, is not worth a
snap unless he can show where and
how economy can be practiced,
the people will not go back on the
soldier, and Mr.. Cleveland is not III
favor of cutting salaries, SO there is
no place for economy to come IN ex-
cept in shutting off useless appropri-
ations. Mr.. Cleveland is free
trader only in that he is in favor of
admitting raw material free OF duty.
lie ought to know that America
produces raw material in immense
Quantities, as cotton, iron, coal, lead
and wool. Who wants free cotton,
iron and wool What class of peO-
ple are benefited by putting wool on
the free list? or, how is the consum-
er of WOODEN goods to be benefited
by cheap wool if the manufacturers
combine and charge all they please?
Mr. Cleveland touches no vital

Cost Of Raising Corn.

1t would be astonishing if it were
fully known how many farmers go
ON from year to year without know
ing accurately the cost OF what they
produce. Indeed, there are many
farmers who do not know anything
about the cost of their productions.
Now, if merchants aud other
classes were to do business on the
same plan, they would be consid-
cred as lacking in iaentai makeup;
and this leads us to the inquiry of
the average cost of a husiiel of Corn
in the United States and we find
an answer, in part, in the Kansas
Farmer, and in a speech made by
GOV. Boies, of Iowa r. M
The statement published in the
Kansas Farmer was prepared by the
commissioner of industrial statistics
Of the federal census, and Nebraska
is taken as being the leading corn
state. The average yield per acre
is given at 32S bushels, and the
average cost per acre for the whole
state is So .43 2-3 per acre. Accord
ing 10 the United States census, the
market value of one acre of corn is
S7.5S. The difference between this
market value and the cost Of pro-
duction is $I.l4l l-S. The cost of
hauling and deterioration of soil is
not included, so that it may fairly
be claimed that the cost of produc-
tion and the market price are about
equal. These figures are prepared
from statements made by the most
Intelligent farmers, aud from every
county, and they are reliable
Gov. Boies, of Iowa, in substance,
says that, taking the average cost
of producing corn for five years, in
Iowa, it could be proven that corn
had been marketed at loss. per
acre, of 81 cents.
Let us take more enlarged view.
Nebraska and Iowa are the best corn
states in the Union, aud we have
seen that corn-raisers only about
come out even, so it follows that, in
all other sections. farmers are pro-

gests no remedy for existing evils,
offers no new thought for the CON

why he or his party should have the

glances at 'paternalism in schools" F."
he fails to inform the people what
'paternalism in. schools" Is. In

that he has been beating Che and

There is no variation. Mr. Cleve-

PROPOSED SINGLE TICKET.
POLITICAL PARTIES TRYING TO UNITE.
Issues Discussed at the Industrial Confer
encs IN St Louis-Eforts TO Reach
Some Common Ground.
Special TO Tbs MoRNISG CALL

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2O.-The principal event
OF to-day among the delegates to the in
dustrial conference was meeting Of the
representatives Of the Prohibition party.
the Peoples party and the National Reform
party in an endeayor to reach some common
ground upon which they could support
single ticket Among those present were
General j. B. Weaver. lgnatius Donnelly,
Miss Frances L. Willard, t. J. WhcelOck
and G. NJ. Wheeler. No decision was reached
beyond the confirmation of the action of a
conference held at Chicago recently, at
which il was determined that a committee,
having among its members several Of to-day's
conferees, should present to the industrial
conference a series Of resolutions declaring
in favor of the issue Of money by the GEN
eral Government in sufficient quantities to
prevent the Intervention Of private institu-
tiOns; the suppression Of the saloon; favor
ing Government control Of transportation :;
opposing alien ownership of land, with a
limit on any ownership, and favoring
municipal suffrage for woman, with an
educational qualification.
The committee will therefore present
these issues to the conference with re-
quest that they be indoTsed in the platform.
1t is understood the liquor plank will be
met in the conference with a counter prop
osition to the effect that when a State legis-
lates upon the question that legislation be
respected by other States and the Federal
Government aud the State protected in The
endorsements Of its law. \ lively time is
expected over this prohibition question.
One wing of the industrial people, led by
General Weaver, is said to be practically in
favor of straight prohibition and an alli-
ance with PrOhibitonlsts, while another,
headed by Washburne and Taubeneck, in
siSt that economic reforms are what the
conference is after and the liquor question
should receive consideration later At the
first meeting Of the National Citizens Alli-
ance to-day the delegates TO next weeks
conference were instructed to support inde-
pendent political action.
At to nights meeting CT the alliance
Noah Allen of Wichita, kans., was chosen
President; Mrs. Anna l.. Diggs of Wash
ngton, u. C., Secretary; p b. MaXOm of
Emporia. Kans., Treasurer
In addition to supporting an Independent
political movement in next weeks con-
ference the Alliance delegates will present
a demand that the Government alone shall
issue money TO the people.
An explanation OF the strong effort of the
PTohlbltiOnlSts to secure a prohibition plank
is found IN a secret circular recently sent
out by Prohibition leaders, a copy of which
was secured tonight. II states that there
IS probability that the ST. Louis conference
would eyade the liq1or question by adopt
ing national scheme ana urging that the
leaders endeav0r to prevent the success Of
the movement. This national scheme is

THE FRENCH SITUATION.
Minister Ribot to Form New Cabinet-An
arohIsts Onnosinp Constans

Minister Rtbot to Form a New Cabinet-An-
archists Opposing Constans.
PARIS, Feb. 20.-It is announced this
evening that Ribot, Minister of Foreign All
fairs in the Cabinet that has resigned. has
been requested by President Carnot to form
q Cabinet, aAd he has agreed to undertake
the task.
1t is announced that NJ. Ribot will form
new Ministry on the old lines, he being Pre-
mier and the other Ministers nearly the
same as the previous Cabinet.
The prospect that Constans will leave the
Office of Minister of the Interior has alarmed
nearly all classes of the French people. He
has been so successful in suppressing Bou-
langss and Socialists that it is the uniYer-
sal desire among Represen tatves that he
retain the Office. This desire led to the re-
port that COnstans will be asked 10 form
Cabinet. 1t is held by many. however, that
the recent striking OF Lauer, B0ulangist,
by COnstans In the Chamber of Deputies,
will preclude the President from calling on
Constans to form a Cabinet, butit is believed
10 be likely he will retain the portfolio of
Minister of the Interior The Anarchists,
who bad, previous TO the resignation of the
Cabinet, resolved to observe Mayday in a
quiet manner, have already held meetings
and various sections have decided if Con-
stans is removed to make a demonstration
on the 1st Of May.
Opinions of the French Press.
PARIS, Feb. 20.-La Republique Fran
caise, in its comments on the resignation of
the Ministry, says the members of the party
OF the Left are guilty of more than a blum
der. The surprise of the country, 1t adds,
will be surpassed by the general feeling Of
dissatisfaction.
The Radical considers that it is impossi-
bic to draw q conclusion from the success
sion of contradictory votes.
EtraD opf half De-
dent Carnot will accept the resignation of
the Ministers, as none Of yesterdays votes
embodied a new policy,
The Steele says: The country will regret
that a Cabinet which has shown compe-
tenCy in every branch of national enter
prise should be Overthrown on a question
In which public opinion Is not Immediately
concerned.
The Figaro declares the country is con-
demned to undergo new ministerial COM
bnation without unity or principle for its
guidance. The new combination, it says,
Will be no better than the present Ministry.
L'AutOTite prides itself upon the part it
took in the defeat of the Government. 1t
congratulates the members Of the Right
upon their action.
Other papers express the belief that the
Ministry will be patched up or the cham
berS dissolved. Leading men in public life
incline to the opinion the former course will
be followed.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb 20.-The news
papers in this city all publish articles eX-
pressiye of regret at the occurrence of the
French Cabinet crisis.
