ExpSa.ts of Agricultural Products

Expcsts of Agricultural Products.
There is q world Of thought for
farmers in the record Of wheat and
wheat flour for the past three years
under the Republican administration
as compared with what it was when
the Democrats were in control. Good
seasons brought the bountiful crops, Of
course but good times, created by the
protective tariff, advanced prices at
home, increased the consumption and
thus enabled the farmer to sell his
surplus abroad for higher prices. The
record Of exports of wheat and flour
in values is as follows:
Four Years. Three Years.
Cleveland. Mckinley.
Total value. .$431, 7O5, O12 $3.50, 1904, 419
Av'ge per year. 1O7,926,253 177,766, 139
It is apparent that the farmers are
receiving $70,0OO,OOO year more for
their wheat and its product which are
sold abroad than when times were duh
In this country.
