The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1896-02-14

For the year 1890 the statistician of
the agricultural department estimat-
ed the value Of all farm products at
So, 800, 100000. For the same year the
Manufacturers Record has made COM
pilatiOn of census returns and esti-
mates which places the value of all
manufactured products at S9,370,OO0,-
900. 1t has been the belief of many
that the products of the farm exceed
ed those of any other industry in the
country, whereas their value is only
one-third that of the factory and
workshop. Far more people are en-
gagged in manufactures than in farm
ing, and yet the free trade theorists
hold that the home market is a mat
ter of no account, as compared with
some of the little markets of the out
side world, and contend that the
policy which has built up this vast
army Of workmen and those depend
ent upon them, is one of oppression
and robbery. It. has not been one
tenth as oppressive as has the policy
which has been followed by the pres
ent administration, which spread
want and idleness over the land.
