and 1885, when the average values were
1888 and 1898, the former being exact
ly 20 per cent less than $12.2S. In that
thirty years the yearly average value
was more than 10 per cent greater
than $12.2S only twelve times, to-wit:
In the years 1863, 1866, 1865 1869,
1871, 1878, 1874, 1879, 1880, 1882, 1856 and
1890 They fell less than 10 per cent be-
low that average of SLIPS only eight
times, to-wit: In the years 1865, 1876,
1878, 1884, 1885, 1889, 1893 and 1895.
In the table above given by four
year periods the excessively hign prices
of 1867, 1874 and 1881 raise the period
formity, to which reference has been
made above. A careful study of those
tables for these ten states shows that
in these states since 1862, in spite of
the influence of the great civil war,
the various crop failures Of Europe
and all the fluctuating export demand,
England never saw thirty-four years
with so little fiuctuation of prices in all
the 600 years covered by the studies
of Prof. E. Thorold Rogers. The same
thing can be said for the whole United
States. In the nation during the
tWenty-eight years the average for the
ten great agricultural staples tended
to fall from 1867 to 1878, and thereafter
has been quite permanent, and yet for
than 20 per cent above the general av-
erage but twice, and that in 1868 and
1881. 1t never fell more than 10 per
cent at any time in those tWenty-eight
years below the general average, and
then only in 1878 and 1893. Full data
for 1885 will, however, without uues-
ton, show equally low figures, when
the data for the cotton crop, not now
published. can be included with the
other crops.
There is a decline in agricultural prices
for the states of the American Union
included in Group II. That decline is
not so great as has been popularity sup
posed, and is due to the decline of a
few crops, notably wheat and cotton.
The decline in wheat is largely due to
the decline in freight and other charges
between the interior and the Atlantic
seaboard and to Europe. It is due
largely to the elimination of the mid
dleman. The extent to which the mid
dleman has been eliminated in the
wheat business and the effect of the
same upon the worlds wheat prices
can best be shown by the following ta-
BILE. 1t exhibits the average home or
farm value of wheat by four-year
periods in the states of Minnesota and
New York and in the city of London.
The figures for the two American
states are deduced from the returns to
the agricultural department. Those
for London are from Sauerbeck's ta-
bles, showing prices for American
wheat. The American currency figures
of 1867 to 1878 are reduced to gold to
make them comparable with the gold
figures of London.

producer has received no benefit from
this change. 1t has all gone to the
consumer. In fact, the farmer in the
Eastern states has lost greatly by this
change in the charges of the middle
men, as is shown by. the table. The
freight charges and cost of handling
merchandise, not in the objects pro-
duced by him, but in those purchased
by him. AS purchaser of farming
implements and staples of food
clothes, ETC., he ,reaps his share of the
benefits of the elimination Of the mid
dlenlan, as the purchaser of his wheat
in London reaps corresponding bene-
fit in his purchases of the products of
the Western farmer.
The Minnesota wheat farmer realized
a general advance in the prices obtain
ed by him from 1867 to 1882, and there
after a decline. Some of the advance
between 67 and 80 arose from the in
PRODUCTION of the roller -rocess in mill
ing in Minneapolis, which raised the
price of hard spring wheat from a level
of 10 cents busheli below to 10 cents
bushel above the best white winter
wheat Of New York. The fact that
other and more recent, milling inven-
tions has raised the price of winter
wheat to nearly the same as that of
hard spring, accounts for some of the
subsequent decline shown in the table
for Minnesota.
None Of the tables when carefully
examined give any support to the
theories and claims Of the advocates
for the free coinage Of silver. The
average price Of wheat advanced in
Minnesota after the legislation of 1873
as well as declined. The silver legis-
lation could not produce both. The
great decline in the average prices in
the Eastern states took place between
1862 and 1873 and not after. The silver
legislation of 1873 cannot be said to
have caused the decline in grain prices

Chairman Caldwell, Of the Western
Passenger association, yesterday pro-
mulgated the information that member
lines had decided to grant instead of
a one and third fare rate on the GER
tificate plan, one fare rate for the
state G. A. r encampment, scheduled
for March 1912, in Minneapolis This
rate holds in Minnesota, but it is un-
derstood that a similar rate has been
made effective in Wisconsin and Iowa.
The tickets are to be on sale March
8. 10 and II, and are good returning on
the 18th.
The change in rate was made by the
roads on the theory that one fare rate
for the state encampment would insure
larger and more representative gath
ering at this time, with the result that
plans for the big national encampment
in September could be laid with more
facility and completeness.

Millions to Trusty Men.
WASHINGTON, March T. Senator
Morgan today resumed his questioning
of &. z. Huntington, in the Pacific
railway inquiry now in progress by the
senate committee on Pacific railroads.
His first question was directed to ascer-
tanning whether the Union Pacific road
had lost money in consequence of the
diversion of traffic from the Central
Pacific to the Southern Pacific. Mr.
Huntington replied that it had not, as
1t was a fact that more than so per
cent Of the transcontinental business
over the all-rail routes was carried over
the Central Pacific. He said this mat
ter was arranged by an understanding
as to rates and the distribution of busi-
ness among all the transcontinental
lines. He said this was not a pool, but
mere agreement. This statement had
the effect of diverting the inquiry into
the system of pooling and the division
of business, but Mr.. Huntington pro-
fessed not to be familiar with the de-
tails. He said such agreements had been
in effect for the past twenty-five years,
and he thought they still were.
Huntington said $S,000,000 were re-
ceiXed from land grant sales, and used
to help build the road. He denied hav-
ing kept Hobbies anywhere, but admit
ted having paid altogether about ST.
100000 to attorneys and trusty men.

nation, and the committee adjourned

In the table are first given the av-
erages for the ten Western states
whose names have already been given.
After giving the figures for the indi-
Nidual years, there are presented sum-
maries by four-year periods, and also
for the whole period covered by the
table. To this is added for the Western
group, the average of the last three
years, and that of the lowest three
years covered by the table A detailed
study Of this table discloses the fact
that, for the ten great central grain
and meat-producing states of the Unit
ed States, there has been a wonderful
uniformity and stability of prices since
1862. There have been four years with
exceptionally high averages for these
nine agricultural staples-1S64, 1867, 1874
and 1881. These years saw the, excess
sively high averages of $19S4, 1881.
$17.54 and 1892, respectively. The high
prices of 1854 reflect the effects of the
American civil war in lessening the
production and advancing prices, and
also the beginning of large exporta-
items Of breadstuffs, to Europe The
high prices Of 1867 resulted from crop
failures in the United States and Eu-
rope in 1866 apd in Europe. in 1867, to-
gether with the effects of
the Prussian , and Austrian
war. An export demand to Europe in
1874 doubled the value of breadstuffs
and cattle, annually shipped abroad.
The high prices of 1881 resulted from a
corresponding cause, following a gener-
al crop failure in Europe. Excluding
these four exceptional years, the av-
erage gold value of the agricultural
staples of these ten states averaged
from 1862 to 1895, inclusive, Slips. This
was less than for the periods 1SS7-1890
or 1S91-1S94. In the thirty years includ-
ed in this latter average, the average
farm value per ton of these nine sta
pies rose more than 20 per cent above
this $12.2S only in 1863, 1866, 1852 and

sLAsHING GRAIN RATES.
A Cut of Two Cents Being Made East
From Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 7.-There are all
sorts Of stories afloat to the effect that
the roads running east from Chicago
are cutting the life out of grain rates.
The stories are denied by the roads
with emphasis, but the stories keep
coming just the same. It is hardly to
be expected that any line that is cut
ting the tariff will acknowledge it, and
the fears of the penalties that may be
eXacted by the joint traffic association
are a factor in inducing any guilty
road to keep silence, regarding the cut
rates. 1t is a fact however, that the
rates are being slashed and to the
extent of cents or more. The roads
running out of this city have for some
time been watching the bulk of the
grain trade going away from them and
1T is, moreover, only a short time to the
opening Of navigation, and all the
roads are not likely to wait for the
competition that they are sure to have
within a few weeks. Traffic officials
generally are of the opinion that the
joint traffic association is going to be
no more able to strictly maintain tariff
rates than any association that preced-
ed it. - orao rteisf err ~a

The Minnesota Bureau of Labor has
spent three months in study of the
agricultural prices of the United States
since 1862, hoping to learn the effect
upon the farmers of the United States
of the decline in prices of a few Of the
great agricultural staples. An effort
was made to ascertain for how many
crops and in what sections of the coun-
try prices have declined, and the time
and apparent causes of that decline.
Amy decline in prices realized by the
farmers of nation, says the commits
sicner, is a curse to the land unless
clearly balanced by some gain in meth
DDS of production. Any decline in price
