WHILE we exported 615 barrels of -four
in 1894 to every barrel exported in 1878
we only received 4 times as much in
value, and while we exported barrels
ia 1895 to every one in 1878 we only re-
ceived three times as much money
as in 1878. In an effort to pay
our debt abroad by the export
of wheat, we have thus increased our
exports of -four by ~, 707, 500 barrels, but
prices have so fallen that this increase of
six times in quantity has only suficed to
increase the debt-paying power of our
exports of -four three times. 1t takes
nearly twice as much labor to pay our
debts with wheat -four as it did in 1878.
