THE WHEAT QUESTION.

Some Instructive Figures for Republican,
Oracles-
The department of agriculture has
recently published some extremely III
teresting and valuable statistics of tic
whole worlds wheat crops and those OF
the United States since 1891, which are
as follows:
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1896-04-30
WHEAT PRODUCTION.

1t will thus be seen that while the
wheat production of the whole world,
on the whole, increased go, O0O, 100 bush
els from 1891 to 1894, the wheat crop of
the United States decreased 215, DOC, 00g
from 1891 to 1893 In 1894 and 1895,
respectively our wheat crop was 55, 0OO,-
600 and 4e ,000, 600 bushels less than in
1892 and ISL 100000 and $4,000, 600
bushels less than Ia 1891.
The great increase in the worlds ag-
gregate supply during the last three
years explains clearly why wheat has
been so low.
But, according to the insinuations OF
some republican oraCles, our farmers
must attribute both their short CROPS
and low prices to the wicked Wilson
tariff 1.-The Wilson blight" Is becom-
ing a stock phrase which would fully
explain any calamity from a great
drought to a smash-up of the globe by
collision with one of the planets Doubt.
