Does the Tariff Affect the Price of Wheat

Does the Tariff Affect the Price OF Wheat?
Republicans have not generally insisted
very much that tariff affected the price
wheat Certainly no Republican insists
that the tariff upon wheat itself affects the
price. But does the enforcement of a
protective policy In the United States help
the price of wheat?
During President Harrison's administra-
ton, the total production of wheat in
the United States was 2,O1T,75 900
bushels. During that time and up to and
including the last day of June following
we exported in wheat and -four 633, 100, $50
bushels, retaining for home consumption
1884, 580.7 100 bushels or an annual con-
sumption of 346, 14O, $50 bushels. During
the preceding four years of President
Clevelands administration, the total pro-
: duction of wheat In the United States was
1,751, 1876, 434 bushels. We exported of
this In wheat and flour $50, 664, 7s7 bushels,
and retained for home consumption 1,17O,-
621, lat bushels, or al annual consumption
of 300, $50, 1861 bushels. This Is taking
the entire four years together and is fairly
accurate.
1t must be remembered that during the
administration of President Cleveland the
population in the United States had increas-
ed In round numbers about six millions,
and yet with this increase In population,
the annual consumption of wheat decreased
53,S04, 7s0 bushels. Taking the increase OF
population into consideration, the decrease
of the annual consumption of wheat of the
people of the United States amounted to
81, 500, 900 bushels. In other words, we
sold and placed upon the European market
IS, 500. 900 bushels more of American whea,
then we should have done under the policy
of the Harrison administration.
A policy that destroyed the home demand
for such an enormous quantity of wheat
certainly did injuriouslv affect the price OF
the remainder. When business Is active,
when workmen are employed, when factories
are running. there Is largely increased
demand for farm products with which to
feed the American workmen. This activity
and demand had an important share In the
iucrease III price vi all cihsses vi aRricul
tural products. The Dingley bill set In
motion the wheels of industry and gave
the American workingman an opportunity
to eat three good meals day, to feed him
self and his family upon good meat, good
butter. and class of fruits that he had
not tasted very often since the Harrison
administration gave place to the free-t trade
folly by which 1t was superseded
In view of all the facts II is impossible to
successfully controvert the claim that the
restoration of the American policy of pro-
lection has had an important Influence In
advancing the price of wheat and other farm
products. American Economist

The above in varied form has been
printed in several state papers dur
ing the past week. So far as the
article relates to Mr.. Simmons it is the
veriest rot" there being absolutely no
foundation for such statements. Prof.
Hoyt left the training school principal
ship of his own accord, gladly accepting
the new position offered him by the
State Board of Education, the work be-
ing more to his liking and also carrying
with it an increase of 5000 year in
salary Mr.. Simmons appointment
was made solely on his record as most
efficient superintendent and the knowl-
edge on the part of the State Board that
he was pre-eminently the man to take
the important place to which he was
unanimously chosen. Politics had moths
ing to do with any part of the proceed
ings. The statement was evidently in
spired by someone who was disappoint-
ed in not securing either the place given
to Mr.. Hoyt or Mr.. Simmons.

Ypsilanti, Mich, May ga gentle
man we'll known in the state in speaking
of the recent appointment Of Mr.. j. w.
Simmons, of Owosso to position in the
Normal College, said: "Great is Pingree
and greater is his machine Not stone
is being left unturned by the governor or
any of his lieutenants in their efforts to
make it impregnable. Take for instance
the removal of O. o. Hoyt by the state
board of education from his position as
director of the training school of the Nor
NAL, which position paid him salary of
81, 800 year, and then retaining him as
assistant in pedagogy at the same salary.
No other assistant in the school receives
over two-thirds of this amount.
"Then the appointment j. w. Sim
mons, of Owosso, member of the state
board of education, to the position for
merly held by Hoyt. Do you know what
that means? 1t means that Mr.. Hoyt
was removed by the state board and then
given his present position to prevent any
possible kicking, and that Mr.. Simmons
received his appointment as reward for
some political work done by him for the
machine.
SIN this connection the recent appoint.
ment of Prof. E. F. Johnson, of the law
department of the U. of M as member
of the state board of education would
bear little investigation.
"Then look at that salary grab rushed
through the last legislature, paying MEM
bers of Pingree's staff the same salary
that regular officers of the United States
army get and not man of them will
have to 60 outside of the state. Some
day, however, the machine will get so big
that will topple over of it's own weight
and will bury Gov. Pingree at the same
