The farmers Of the country are receiv-
ing much larger sums of money for their
products in bulk than they did year ago.
January expectations of corn were in
value S6,219, 633 against 81, S2S, 957 in
January 1897, and for the seven months
ending February LIST amounted to S34,
1856, 2SS against S26, 900 007 in the CORE
spending months of the preceding year.
The sales of corn meal for the seven
months amounted to 1888, OILS against
SAL 246 in the corresponding months of
the preceding year. The January sales
OF oats amounted to 81 1862, 591 against
S572, 09l in January 1897, and for seven
months were $l1 1852, 147 against s., 36l,-
749 in the corresponding months of the
preceding year, while there was a CORE
spending increase in the expectations of
oat meal. The expectations of rye for
the seven months were SASS, TIP in
value, against 81, 96S, 1876 in the same
months year earlier They sent abroad
in January SO, lO6, TAI worth of wheat,
against 81. OS6, GAG worth in January 1897.
and for the seven months ending February
LIST the expectations of wheat amounted to
sS7, ISL ,53s against s44, 4s7, O59 in the cor
responding months of the preceding year.
Wheat flour also brought more money
into their pockets, the expectations for
the seven months amounting to $50, 6S4,-
1874, against $50, 637, 623 in the same
months of last year. The total exporta-
lions of breadstuffs in January, 1898,
amounted to S24, I'll, 100, while those of
January 1897, were only SIG, 971, 173, and
for the seven months ending February /
1898, were 1888, OPT, 800, those of the
seven months ending February |, 1897,
being but 1921, 945, 1872. There was also
grain in the expectation of provisions,
the total for January, 1898, being Sl6,-
375, 1916: that for January, 1897, S13, 1O4, =
1854; while for the seven months ending

total expectation of breadstuffs and pro-
visions during the seven months ending
February 1, 1885, amounted to $3.50 9S9, :

gain for the seven months just ended over
the corresponding seven months of the
preceding year the handsome sum of S73,-
674, 953, an amount sufficient to pay off
several farm mortgages.

portations of leading farm products in the
seven months ending February /, 1898,

Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 81, 1898.
The recently published statement sum-
married. from "Bradstreet's" comparing
prices of farm products on January 1,
1898, with those of July l, 1896, the near
est date obtainable to Mr.. Bryan nomi-
nation, is supplemented with further
statement by the same journal showing
prices of various articles produced and
consumed by the farmer on February 1,
1898, and at sundry periods during the
past three years. 1t is interesting to OBJ
serve that in nearly every case farm pro-
ducts advanced immediately following the
election of President Mckinley and have
continued to advance since that time
The following table quotes prices on the
date of the nomination of Mr.. Bryan and
the adoption of the Democratic declara-
ton that prices could not advance except
through the free coinage of silver and
compares with them those of April l,
1897, the nearest obtainable date to the in
auguration of President Mckinley; also
those of February l, 1898. 1t will be OBJ
served that in nearly every case there has
been steady increase despite the fact
that the voters of the country rejected
the silver proposition. In another table
is given the prices of articles which the
farmer must buy, similarly arranged as
to dates. In these articles it will be OBJ
served that prices have fallen. The prices
quoted are those of New York markets,
except in case of live stock and meats,
where, in most cases, Chicago prices are
quoted.

in the world in 1897 exceeded the total
value of both gold and silver mined in

Although these stated that the smoke
stacks were leveled to the deck, one art
list depicted them as upright and intact.

Economy and prompt business methods

in one industry-by this is meant New
England and the cotton industry-is the
centre of much attention on the part of the
silver shriekers, aud Chief shrieker Bryan
proposes to emphasize this condition by
visit to the cotton manufacturing indus
tries of that section. 1t is not learned,
however, that MI. Bryan has any expecta-
ton of visiting the cotton mills of the
South, which are being run overtime and
are declaring large dividends with great
regularity, and which operate under the
same tariff and currency laws as those
which the calamityites assume to have
tailed i'll relation to New England mills.
Nor is it learned that he has any nten-
ton of stopping en- route at the iron and
steel, tin plate, or wooden factories or
the great potteries of Ohio, Pennsylvania,
and New Jersey, which are all running
overtime, where idleness or short hours
were the rule under the operations of the
tariff law which Mr.. Bryan helped to
place on the statute books.

entirely willing 20 accept the gage of bat
lie thrown down by the Democratic Con
gressional Committee in their declaration
in favor of the proposition of the Chicago
platform OF 1896. Every Congressional

lican conventions or organizations during
the present year has been clearly and dis
tinctly in favor of keeping the currency Of
the nation at its very highest standard.

same battle ground in which they won
their splendid victory of 1896.
