"On Linden when the Sun was Low''

Wednesday morning, the goth inst, repre- sentative of THE TIMES yielded to the kind solicitation of prominent candidate to bal lance the vacant side of his vehicle to go forth with goodly numcer of our town folks to at tend the big fish fry, picnic, barbecue and bran dance, which had for some days been heralded from the tree tops and the valleys at Lin len, in the good old township of Franks.
 Arriving upon the ground. under the intiu- ence of the rays of a Southern June sun. we were delighted to behold most charming spot for the occasion, beneath umbrageous oaks, elms, beech and cypress. A more lovely spot would indeed be hard to find. This spot is, Linden on the hill, upon the crest of Crawley's Ridge.
 To our hearty delight the od-fsahioned reg ulstion style of such occasions prevailed. The improyised seats. the rOstrum for the music, the spacious saw-cust covered spot, ana the lemonade stand. and the myriads of charming ladies fitting about like putrernies, carfieo ye local away back in the past.

THE OYERPROpUCTTON THEORY,

satisfaction OF the Capital that over
production is not the cause Of the low
price Of wheat. In it's issue Of Feb
ruary "a, it makes another bIunder-
ing attempt to answer our argument;
but the deeper it goes INTO the SUBJ
jeCt the worse 1T gets mixed and the
far ther it gets from any satisfactory
solution Of the problem. 1t first
made the unequIVoCal statement that
the trouble with the price Of wheat
is that every year when the new crop
comes on there is some 100 million
bushels of old wheat still on hand
unconsumed;" and further that the
price always adjusts itself to the
equation Of demand and supply" In
reply to these propositions we first
demonstrated that the American crop
of 1890, fell short Of supplying the
demand Of our own people, saying
nothing about any export demand,
49, 450, 1886 bushels, If we measure that
demand by the necessities Of the peo-
pie instead Of by their ability to buy.
We demonstrated in the same article
tn at with a diminished supply in
1890 from that of 1870 and with an
increased export demand, the price
had declined 46 cents per bushel.
The Capital totally ignores these
facts. It totally sbsndons it's original
proposition also, and simply responds
'that in 1892 the United States pro-
duced 612 million bushels-17O mil
lions more than enough to satisfy the
widest requirements on the army ra.
tion basis" If this were true, what
Of it? Would that answer the facts
of the year 1890? Not by any means,
and the Capital has not met and can
not meet the argument based upon
the facts of that year. But we took the
figures presented by the Capital for
the year 1892 and not only showed
their inaccuraCY, but gave the true
production Of that year and demon
strated that it fell short of supplying
the demand by 136,986219 bushels,
measuring the demand by the necessi-
ties Of the people instead Of by their
ability to purchase How does the
Capital meet these facts? It again
lodges the question at issue-that
overproduction is the cause of low
prices, and that the price always ad-
justs itself TO the equation Of demand
and supply-snd admits the error Of
its former figures. 1t now says that
1t was the crop of 1891 that yielded
612 millions Of bushels which, it says,
was so much in excess of the de-
msnd as to cause the low price Of
wheat We again ask, suppose all
the Capital claims concerning the
crop of 1891 to be correct, what has
that to do with our argument based
upon the facts and figures of 1890
and 1922 That argument the Capt.
tai totally ignores, and is still found
ering about in search Of q year when
there was an actual overproduction
The advocate., 1894-02-28

IL was the crop Of 1891 shat yielded 612
million bushels, and 90 we intended 90 state.
The ADVOCATE shows that we were So mil
lion bushels off in our figures. As a matter
Of fact, We were one year off, 30 far as the
argument was concerned. In 1891, instead
Of 1892, the farmers Of the United States
raised 40 million bushels more than the
ADVOCATE figures as the consuming power
Of the country.
Again we ask, supposing all this to
be true, how does that effect the
other years named? We think we
made several other POINTS against
the Capital if the editor will put on
his goggles and look for them. II is
useless to repeat them here, because
ADVOCATE readers will discover them
in our former articles; and if the ed
itor of the Capt. al cannot find them
there he will fail to find them if we
repeat them. The fact Is, it is more
convenient to fail to find them than
it would be to answer them. Unfor-
tunstely for the Capitals theory, the
facts concerning the crop Of 1891
will place the editor of that paper IN
a worse hole than he was before, and
we are glad he called our attention
specially to that year.
The report of the secretary of az
riculture for 1892, page 419, shows
the total American wheat crop of
1891 to have been Gil, 100000
bushels. The editor Of the Capital
absolutely ignores the actual market
of that year, as 1t has been necessary
for him to do in all other years. We
exported In 1891 25,665,812 bushels.
This, deducted from the total prod
uct, leaves 386,114,188 bushels for
home use. But, supposing the pop
ulstion to be the same as in 1890, we
have de monstrsted that it would re-
quire 442,113O8 to feed our own
people as we'll as the government
feeds the army or as well as our PEN
itentisries feed conVicts. There
would thus be a deficiency of $685.
897 bushels in 1891, saying nothing
about the amount required for seed.
Add to this 100000 bushels for
seed and the deficiency of that year
would be 1O5, ,998,897 bushels.
But there are some other facts con-
nected with that wheat crop that
come seriously in conflict with the
theory that the price always adjusts
itself to the equation Of demand and
supply" The crop of 1891 was 212,-
43S 600 bushels greater than the crop
OF 1890, and yet the average price
was a fraction greater for 1891 than
for 1890. For 1890 it was 83 cents
and for 1891 83.9 cents. The crop of
1891 was greater than the crop of
1892 by 95,S31,OOO bushels, and yet
the average price in 1891 was greater
than that of 1892 by 2l5 cents. It
will be necessary for the Capital to
hunt up some other year in which to
find the kind of facts it is looking
for.
The advocate., 1894-02-28

the estimates are inside Of known distribu-
tiOn.
1t the secretary Of agriculture is
correct what becomes of the Capitals
great surplus of 100 million bushels
per annum? During this decade the
price declined from 1892 in 1881, to
83.9 in 1891. What was the causeg
We again, Tor the third time, call
attention to the fact that the worlds
product of wheat for 1893 was 81
64IO42 bushels less than the product
Of 1892 and still the price 10 con-
stantly on the decline. We also add
the following testimony from Brad
streets report Of February %:
Wheat in farmers hands March /, 1894,
with all allowances for under estimates by
the government in it's report of the last
three wheat OrOps), quantities eaten, planted
and exported being calculated on custom
sry basis, indicates a total held Of 129, ,OOO,-
600 bushels. The significance Of this ap-
pears when 1t is learned the calculations
indicate there were 2c4,OOO,OOO bushels of
wheat in farmers hands March 1, 1898.
And still Dun says the price is not
only lower than it was in 1893, but
lower than it has been before IN sew
enty-seven years. What is the mat
ter with the Capitals Equation of
demand and supplY~
The Capital strikes keynote in
the following declaration:
The ''wsy out" is by increased consump-
tion, and this can be assured only by plenty
of employment for every kind of labor.
We are glad to note that the Capl-
tai has discovered this much of the
truth. The fact is encouraging. Give
to the idle men of this country ample
opportunity to work and secure to
them the fruits Of their industry, and
they will buy OF good prices and con-
sume every bushel of wheat that the
American farmer has to spare. This
in turn will enable the farmer to pur-
chase more of the products of other
industries. It will set the wheels of
production and Of commerce in mo-
tion, and insugurste an era of pros
peritY never before known upon the
earth.
But the Capital is fatally wrong in
the means by which labor is to be
supplied to our idle millions. 1t
says:
This end will be defeated, as we said in q
former article, by the ADvooATR's policy Of
free trade.
We would respectfully remind the
Capital that all the enforced idleness
IN this nation has been brought
about during period of the highest
protection of the republican variety
that ever was known in the country.
We have had NO free trade except in
laDor to bring this result upon us.
Our system Of protection affords a
protected market IN which the maui
facturer may sell his products, and
it affords free trade market in which
he may buy his labor. We would re-
mind the Capital that there is no
tariff on imported labor.
