PROFIT IN GROWING WHEAT.


A Kansas farmer living near Manhat-
tan, writing in the Nationalist of that
city, gives his experience in growing
wheat, which may serve-to throw some
light on the apparent contradictions in
regard to the actual profits in growing
this cereal.
The farmer had field Of twenty eight
acres of fair upland prairie, and the cost
of the crop footed up as follows:
Breaking IS acres at 81 per acre. ....... $50 90
Narrowing five times with Disk harrow 2S 90
Thirty bushels seed wheat. ....--..-...:. 30 %
Seeding with pressed drill, days work 20 90
Cutting and shocking. 80 90
Hauling and stacking. ..-............... 20 UU
Threshlng and storing IN bin. ..-....... "a W
Interest on land valuation $50 per acre
at per cent. 81 w
Total cost of crop. observation-disclosures 1852 90
The estimated yield was little over
2S3 bushels per acre, No. wheat, worth
at the time OF threshing IS cents per
bushel at Manhattan. This gives clear
profit of something less than SO per acre,
which if added to interest on valuation
of land as above reckoned would give an
actual interest of "a per cent. on the
land, at $50 per acre. 1t will be seen
that at these figures it pays to grow
wheat at present prices even.
The farmer adds: "When it is taken
into account that our estimate of the
cost of production was at least one-fourth
mere than the same work can be con-
tracted for, and that the actual sales of
the wheat will justify higher price for
the grain than estimated above, the
actual profits will foot up almost one
third more than stated above"

1t is nothingof the-kind. 1t Is ia vim
dication OF the Republican policy, and

trine that when duty is placed on an
article which We do not ourselves, pro-
duce, or which-we~ cannot produce in
sufficient quantity to supply our home
markets, it is tax. This was the case
with sugar aud tho Republicans re-
moved the tax. On the other hand, We
have enough coal, iron and lumber and
other raw materials to not only supply
our homo markets, but to ship abroad.
The tariff is maintained on these things
to protect them from the competition
OF cheap foreign articles which arc pro-
duced by pauper labor.

Ono Mans Tcstlmony.

A naturalizod Engli,hman, writing in
the New York Pres, evidently apprecl.
ates tho benefits OF protection, II some
Of our own people do not. 1t Is, indeed,
remarkable fact that English working
men who have had experience with tho
tariff policy OF their 0 wn country; goner-
ally show grcaler appreciation .of tho
protective policy Of tho United States
aftor working undor it, than some Of
our own workingmcn who have never
toiled in a FREQ trade country, and who
permit themselves to listen to FREQ trade
theorists.
This Enslishman who writes for tho
Pres, refers to tho fact that when he
was boy he worked in a cotton factory
in Mossly, Lancashire, for si1ty.two
contS week, laboring fourteen and a
half hours per day. He camo to this
country, with many others who were
burdoned with debt. lie says: ~
would say hero that, having worked in
the manufacturing districts OF New
England, I do not know OF one who left
old England under those hard circum-
stances who did not soon bring his
family over here, and, moreover, send
back money enough to pay all his in
debtednes,."
This has been the experience OF thou
sands OF Euglishmen who have como to
America. They can DO found in every
manufacturing community. 1t is no
wonder the gentleman above quoted is
moved to ask the question, why it is, ii
England and the English people arc so
happy under free trade, and America is
SO burdencd and downtrodden under
protection, that so many thou
sand immigrants como to our shores
every week, and why stowaways found
on every steamer when forced to return
are broken hearted?
Ito asks another question which he
answers himself, as follows:
Are there any steamers loaded with emIgrants
headed from the United States 10 Europe? The
last question will answer myself. Mono so to
England but those who are well supplied with
good American dollars. and, by tho BY, no others
arc wanted there.
There is good Protection argument
in this answer.

Those New Workers and Mr.. Blaine
Those New York Republicans who
refuse to accept Mr.. Blaine's ,declina-
tion to be presidential candidate as
final, are in desperate straits, indeed.
It is comforting to know that there is
only n handful OF them and that they
will be obliged to como in out Of the
wet. at last.
1t is not surprising that there should
DO some to insist upon Mr.. Blaine with
drawing his declination, for there arc
unreasonable people in all parties
But in this instance they are more than
unreasonable. They arc positively un.
Just and unkind to Mr. Blaine himself,
for he has not only declared that he
does not desire tho nomination, but
that it would be physically impossible
for him to accept it if it were rendered
him unanimously, as it would be if ten
dered at all.
Aside from this consideration, the
action OF the New York boomers 10 a
reflection on Mr.. Blaine. 1t will be re-
membered that in 1855 similar situa-
ton existed Just prior to tho conven-
tion. There were enthusiastic Repub-
licans who refused to accept the famous
Florence letter as final, and insisted that
he must DO forced to accept whether he
wanted, the nomination or not. So
strong did this movement become that
it was necessary for him to writc sec
ond letter. Thi, he did a few,days be-
fore the convention, and a portion OF it
is worth quoting at this time, since
there are expressions in (which apply
to the present very bad case OF thick
headcdnesI with which certain Now
York leaders seem to DO afflicted. Here
it is:
