why WHEAT Is DOWN.
Its Export is Prevented by Prohibitive
Duty on Foreign Products.

Its Export is Prevented by Pre- hibitive |
Duty on Foreign Product.
81. Louis Repubcl
There is something radically de-
fective somewhere when, in short
space Of two years, the prices of ag-
ricultural products of the country
drop down to the lowest point ever
known, while manufactured goods
of all kinds leap up to the highest
point And this, too, in the midst
Of good crops and at time Of pro-
found peace throughout the world.
In 1890 the Missouri, Iowa, and
Illinois farmer received 81 a oushel
for his wheat. To-day he gets SOL
cents and often less for the same
product, Of equally good quality,
the selling price in st. Louis being
Go cents. The same proportion of
difference exists in the prices of
corn, provisions, and cattle.
The Missouri farmer has learned
the cause Of it, and the Illinois and
Iowa farmers are rapidly lesrning
it. The prohibitive tariff foisted
upon the people by the Mckinley
law has shut out so much of the
commerce Of the world that the ex-
port trade has almost ceased. Be-
ing unable, by reason of exoroitant
import taxes, to supply this coun-
try with needed commodities, the
people Of other countries arc una
bic to buy our products. We are,
therefore, asked by the Republican
party to consume our own surplus
in order that the "infant" indus
tries may thrive.
Having eaten all that our stom-
: achs can possibly hold, anc. still
finding ourselves possessed OF mill
ions Of bushels of grain which oul
J neighbors can not or will not buy
the prices Of our agricultural prod.
9 ucts have gone to the bottom, while
9 the "infant" industries, under the
forms of law, are collecting taxes
1 from the farmers sin the in5eres
J, of the home manufacture market.
o Why should the farmer contrib
/. ute from their hard earnings K
+ build up manufactures and dtstro,
@ themselves? Does this constitut,
patriotism? The Republican, par
IS ty insulted the intelligence Of tn
VI people by placing a tariff of % pc
It cent. on wheat, we'll knowing tina
p we do not import a single bus lel O
ie that product except seed wheat
Ie which makes an additional t.x O
,e the farmer and then turned ubou
,e and prohibited our export of the al
N ticle by laying a prohibitive dut
or upon foreign products for y'hic
