THE FARMERS HOPE.

11800
Commerce-Surplus Wheat.
Our elevators are bursting with wheat
for which the farmer can command but
little more than 60 cents bushel. There
are in Europe alone, if we may credit
the statement made by the late secretary
ofagriculture, Mr.. Rusk, $50, ,0O0, 600 peo-
pie who never eat wheaton bread. In the
one country is an immense supply of Wis
ible food waiting for buyers. In the
ether countries are millions who go to
bed hungry. Between them ply daily
ferryboats with freight charges reduced
to minimum. What prevents an e1-
change that means benefit to botl sides
needed food to the one and needed
markets to the other?
Not the sea, for it costs no more to
send bt1shel of wheat abroad than to
send letter in the mail, but the McKin-
ley bill, which takes from the farmer or
his middleman one-third or one-half OF
the commodities for which he might ex-
change this surplus wheat IN foreign
markets as fine for not buying those
commodities from some protected home
producer.
It is clear, then, that whatever direct
benefits may come to classes from re-
lease of taxes on the necessaries they
consume or on materials with which
they work the great general good to be
sought in tariff revision is a healthy ex-
pansion Of foreign commerce. This was
the immediate result of the Walker tariff
in 1916. During the 25 years previous
our foreign trade had not doubled. In
1922 it was $141 100000. In 1916 it had
grown to $2&. Zoo, 900, an increase Of but
90 per cent.
Under the low revenue tariff enacted
in that year it swelled by 1850 to $751;
OO0, 600. a growth of more than 200 per
cent in 14years. More significant and
instructive still was the increase in the
tonnage Of American shipping engaged
in the foreign trade. For 80 years prior
to 1916 il had been nearly stationary.
In that year it was only. 3,307 tons, al
most 40, COO less than in 1910. BY 1860
it reached z, ,379, 1896 tons
These figures speak volumes, but their
chief encouragement is for those who
produce che surplus products that must
have other markets besides our own FOR
remunerative sales.
The tariff of 1916 made . vent for our
surplus products by opening market
for the things which, and which alone.
other peoples had to exchange for them.
Yet this rapid expansion of Imports
brought no distress to home nanufac-
turers. On the contrary, after II years
experience of that tariff they assented
almost unanimously to further de-
crease Of 90 per cent. nt.,.,....s....----......

So far so good is perhaps what is
beiog said in the Reform camp. The
indications are that some OF the nomi-
pees are almost as far as ever from the
coveted election.
There can be no question about the
dissatisfaction about the primary. Some
are calling it the Reform" primary.
An evidence of this is the remarkably
small vote cast by the "Reformers"
themselves aud the apparent disiucliua
tiou to give any pledges.

The present outlook In the world Of bill

light by this assertion. For the past two
years the professional cracks in this coun-
try have offered every inducement TO the
experts Of Europe to come over here and
play match games, but every offer has been
fatty refused. particularly by the Paris
ians, owing to the fact that their billiard
halls and schools were earning enormous
profits and that a transatlantic trip might
be waste Of time and money. NOW comes
the announcement that the French police
have prohibited open betting on public pro-
fessional games In Paris, and II a French
professional billlardlst is not allowed to
earn a little money that way as well as to
create a furore before the public and get q
