OF home, the greatest republic. and

TO the period of the establishment of

Rome fell through the influences OF
free trade. and the craze for providing
the masses with cheap things.

Egypt. enabled her 10 import her ce-

those countries. at far lower figure
than she could RAISE them on her own
fertile plains.
What was the result?
The Roman small farmer and land
owner, the strength and sinew of the
people and Of the army, was gradually
reduced TO bankruptcy and servitude.
He became a member of the proletariat.
The land he once titled became the
property of some rich patrician. who
turned IT into pasturage or hunting
fields. or if he cultivated it did so by
slave labor, which was cheaper.
Had the Romans then introduced
manufactures they might still have
prospercd, but this they disdained to-
do. II was so much easier and cheap
err to import the products of the east.
What was the result?
In spite of the vast treasures acquired
by conquest and robbery, this treasure
was being continually exported to pay
for imports. The balance of trade was
continually against Rome.
This i'm turn produced "A contraction,
which, in turn. produced a terrible de-

VALUE OF HOME MARKET.
Busy Home Labor che Hest Customer
FOR Farm Products.
PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION.

Busy mills increase the demand for
farm products and make good times
both in city and country. This is evil
dent from the above figures. showing
our per capita consumption of wheat,
corn and cotton, which reached their
highest points from 1890 to 1899. during
the last republican administration. The
subsequent decline under democracy
has been a serious blow To farmers. The
check to our industrial progress unde-
the policy of protection has resulted
in loss 10 farmers through the de-
creased demand for upward Of 100. 0OO.-
coo bushels of wheat year since 1898,
a loss in 1875 and 1896 of demand for up
ward of half a billion bushels of corn,
as compared with 1892. and loss of de-
mand for nearly 35O,OOo.OOO pounds OF
cotton each year since 1898. as com
pared With 1892.
by studying these figures farmers can
appreciate the value of the home mar
