WHEA
Effect Of Large Fields and Railroads
on Its Price--Siberian Lands.

The increase of wheat fields by the
opening of great regions by railroads
was most influential in cheapening the
grain, and the railroads the Russians
are building in Siberia will introduce
to the markets an enormous breadth
Of wheat ground.
1t is not possible 20 tell yet to what
extent the price of wheat will be af-
fected by the new world of Siberia,
but there will be recompense to the
farmer in the addition of white bread
eaters. Siberian wheat will reduce
the consumption of rye in northern
Europe and Asia. and perhaps there
will presen y be substitution of
wheat for rice in Asiatic countries.
All things in sight indicate that the
Importance If wheat will be immense
ly enhanced, fand when. there are no
more worlds to conqer the price will
be steady.

II we had free silver president and
. congress of the same sort, the fact
would be acted upon as soon as known
in every money market in the world,
and that on the same day, for the great
money centers are made one, in effect,
by telegraphy. We would strike the
silver basis without delay and there
would be not an expansion Of the cur
rency, but its contraction by the dis
use of gold. which would be exported
or boarded. Free silver, therefore,
does not mean more money. but less.

FREE TRADE.
Under the Plea That It Will Aid the
Farmer, It Cripples His
Customers,

George B. Curtiss, in his great work,
Protection and Prosperity" gives a
whole tariff sermon in his conclusion
of the chapter on 'The Triumph of
Democracy and Free Trade" as fol-
lows:
"In concluding this brief review of
the triumph of free trade it is unnec-
essary to point out the many lessons
which it teaches. Under the plea of
helping the farmer, under the claim
that consumers would be benefited, un-
der the pretense that our foreign trade
would be extended, the manufacturing
interests were stricken down. The ca
lamities which have befallen the peo-
pie should ever stand as a warning
against the repetition Of the mistake
which the American people made in
taking advice from visionary and sham
reformers. It has been demonstrated
that the farmer can not destroy the
manufacturer without inflicting an in
Jury upon himself. The laborer can
not ruin the business of his employer
without losing his job. 1t proves that
injury can not befall any one great
branch of production without bring
ing disaster to every other line of in
dustry within the borders of our coun-
try. The industrial life of the nation
is like great temple resting on pill
lars, no one of which can be torn down
without bringing the whole structure
down on the heads of all. 1t is the de-
pendeEce of one industry upon anoth-
er which binds them all together and
makes protection necessary for all. sAs
Roscoe Conkling said in his great
speech in New York, Sept. II, 1880:
From the wheat fields of Minnesota
through the pastures of Texas there is
not an acre whose fertility does not
benefit New York, nor could she profit
by the misfortune or poverty Of ham
let in all our borders
