MORE HOME MARKET AT HOME,

Mr.. Mulhall treats the middle states
group in the June issue of the North
American Review as he did the New
England group in the preceding num-
Der, and the analysis offers the same
opportunity for comparison of it's re-
suits on those to whom the home mar
ket theory is offered as compensation
for burdens borne that appear as bene-
fits in other industries. Here. as in
New England, the opportunity for it's
desired. No obstacles stood in the way,
and all conditions favored The mine
and the mill either adjoined or were
in easy reach of the farm. The home
of transport was at the minimum
while a constantly augmenting surplus
Of labor gave service at the lowest
cost. If here the compensations do not
appear in the statistics of increased
wealth, property values, areas of Gull
tivation, showing an increase proper
tomato to that of other industries, then
the home market theory must be
branded as mere sophism or conjec-
ture, even if the more accurate term
of fraud be not affixed
One test of the profitableness of any
vocation is the increase Of the num-
Der engaged in it. In the middle states
the rural population was 6,164, 900 in
1870 and 100000 in $780, an increase Of
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-06-25

15 per cent in twenty years, Or three
fourths of 1 per cent year. The urban
population in the same time increas-
ed 81 per cent, or nearly per cent a
year. With no other data than this
1t would be a safe generalization that
the vacations in urban life were far
more profitable than those Of rural life.
And this in spite of the fact that,
while population has increased it's de-
mand upon land, the supply OF culti-
waited land has decreased from four
acres to rs per inhab itant between
1850 and 1890. The demand for prod
ucts of the farm has also increased,
the supply of 1.430 pounds Of grain per
capita having fallen to 900, and of 106
pounds of meat to 46, leaving potatoes
, to be the one staple that has increased
in per capita supply. The entire farm
supply produce of the middle states is
not sufficient to feed Pennsylvania
population
Again agriculture has not kept pace
with the other industries in the increase
the farms of these states amounted, in
millions of dollars, to 1868 in 1850 and
1852 in 1890, an increase in forty years
of 90 per cent, while the output of
manufactures increased in the same
period from 40 to 3,64S millions of dol
lars, or 676 per cent. In 1850 the value
of the farms was 60.6 per cent of the
entire wealth-2,256 millions of dollars
while in 1890 it was but Is per cent of
the 1888 million dollars of aggregate
wealth. Less than half of the area of
these states is under cultivation.
Doubtless says Mr.. Mulhall naively,
the explanation is that manufactures
and commerce are more profitable in
these states" than agriculture.
The relative condition of agriculture
and manufacturing varies but little
from that shown in our analysis of Mr.
Mu1halPs investigation of New Eng
land, the difference being in favor of
the middle states; but the examina-
ton in both groups conclusively shows
that the rate of increase has been enor-
mously in favor of manufactures; that
the annual increase in AGRICULTURAL
wealth is very slight; that it's ratio to
the entire wealth is diminishing rap
idly; that farm population is at a
standstill, and that the home market
theory is dismal failure in the very
focus Of manufacturing in the nation
If it has utterly failed there, if the bur-
dens imposed by and borne for the
sake of it show there in this snail's
pace increase in farm wealth, what
must be its effects in the states fur
Their to the West and further from these
centers Of manufacturing industry?

terday at the home of Mrs. William

purpose of deciding by what means the
Baptist women could help to raise the
deficit that there now is in the treas

A large delegation Of Minneapolis wo-
men were also present. Rev. Mr. Still
well, pastor Of Calvary church, spoke
of the amount, $4,000, which debt the
Baptist women Of the Western states
have decided to raise in one way or
another, and said that they were never
asked Representatives, by God and as
long as he had asked them, there must
be a way to do it, and that he had no
doubt but what tie women would ac-
complish it. Rev. J. w. Contey,
after leading in prayer, said that he
felt that the women were the only ones
capable Of making the sacrifices neces :
sary to accomplish this object and that
he knew they would in time raise the
debt. Is "

meeting the guests enjoyed themselves on
