Do these figures show over produc.
tiOn? No; but on the contrary show
that the increase of production has
not kept pace with the increase of
population. In 1880 we produced in
the U.S.nine and nine-tenths bushels
per capita and the average price paid
to farmers in the United States at
large was 95 cents. Ia 1893 we pro-
duced five and nine-tenths bushels
per capita, but a trife over one-half
as much, and the price was but SO
cents in our country at large. (See
Congressional Record, Vol. 2S, June
30, 1895, page 7,l4O.l But let us ask
what improvements have been made
In farm machinery within the past
fifteen years whereby our products
can be grown or harvested more
cheaply. The answer is PLAIN; simply
none. But the price has declined
from II cents per bushel, as paid here
In Wellington in 1891, when the
worlds crop was 2,3lS, 1850, 900 bushels,
to 80 cents, as paid In Wellington 10
1893, when the crop was but 2, 1854, OOO,-
600, or not nearly so mach per capita
as In 1891. This shows no over pro.
ductiOn.
AS this shows no over production,
we must look for some other cause.
We mention a case brought to our
notice only few days ago, which
only fairly represents hundreds OF
others: John s. borrowed $500,
