Queer. He is against more liberal
provision for the importation of Cana
dian wheat, because, he says, the price
of North Dakota's product would
thereby be injuriously affected. By
what rule of justice does he find that
the farmers of North Dakota are en-
titled to anything more than the com
petitive price for their wheat? And
how can they get it except at the ex-
pense of the American consumers?
How does his doctrine square with the
rule of the greatest good to the great
est number? The purpose of protec-
ton is to develop the natural re-
sources of the country. VINO will con-
tend that protection for her wheat
fields is necessary 10 the development
of North Dakota, or that it is in the
case of wheat a process whereby com
petition is stimulated and production
cheapened?'
After telling the farmers of Amer
lea that they are benefited by the
tariff on wheat, the Times takes the
side of the consumer of wheat and
would evidently be pleased with low
er prices. The doctrine would hardly
be popular among the farmers.-Des

A Warming.

recent New York Evening Post
reprints an article from the London
Financial Times which ends with:
There is something very melan-
choly in the fact that the wheat crop
of the British isles this season has
been grown on the smallest area ever
recorded ,407 ,61S acres-for less
than fifty years ago the area was
4,2I3,OOO acres. In the past twelve
months the wheat grown at home that
was available for food represented
100000 quarters, and the net i'm
ports of foreign wheat and -four as
wheat came to no less than 27,S47 ,OOC
quarters"
The Post is now urging tariff revi
sion which shall revise off the present
Cuty of 25 cents per bushel on wheat
Not wheat that employs American
labor for transportation and grinding
preparatory to expectation, but wheat
for consumption here. This plan, thai
would injure every American farmer
and those dependent on his trade fol
support to the sole advantage of Ca
nadians, must have been engineered
by capitalists interested in Canadian
railroads. We do not want any such
melancholy result as Cobden's success
of fifty odd years ago has produced to
England.

based upon the Liverpool quotations.
The country had to export such an
enormous share of its crop that the
foreign market price had to be ac-
cepted. 1t had to export so much be-
cause hard times had reduced home
consumption.
To-day the American market sets
the price, for the American market is
growing toward the point where it
can absorb nearly all the crop. The
per capita consumption of flour has
grown enormously since 1896. The
average consumption in the United
States is so per cent greater now than
it was eight years ago, and, making
no allowance for increased population,
the American market therefore alb
serbs 50 per cent more wheat than
the same market did then
Democrats repeat, parrot-ike, the
old story that the farmer receives no
benefit from protection; that the home
market does not interest him, because
the price of his product is fixed by the
foreign market. Here is his object
lesson to the direct contrary. The
American workingman is SO prosper
GUS that he consumes so per cent more
flour than he did eight years ago. The
American market for wheat is so good
that the American price is higher than
the foreign price. There will be no
wheat to sell to the foreign market
until the needs of the American mar
ket are fully supplied, and by that
time if they need our wheat, as they
doubtless will, the foreign markets
will have to come up to the American
figures. This is how protection is
paying the Washington farmer this
year-Seattle Post-Intelligencer

The stability of our trade with for.

Would Not Benefit Farmers.

The following editorial paragraph,
appearing in the Dubuque Times, Dec
9, would seem to indicate that the
Times would not regard free trade
in natural products with Canada as
being against the interests of the
United States. The same article
would indicate that the present Ameri-
can tariff on wheat is to blame for
making wheat too high on the Ameri-
can side of the line. We quote:
Senator Hansbrough of North Da-
kota appears to favor not that protec-
ton by which competition has been
stimulated and production cheapened,
to use the language of the Republican
national platform of 1900, but that
protection by which the consumer is
plucked for the benefit of the pro

Ships That Passed at Sea.

Samuel ]. Elder, the Boston lawyer,
relates this story of dialogue be-
tween the shippers of two vessels
which met at sea:
What ship is that?" roared the
skipper of a little Gloucester schooner,
hailing a great full-rigged ship.
Reindeer, Calcutta to Boston,! was
the answer from the captain of the

Schooner Dart, from Gloucester,
answered the schooner's skipper

The movement of wheat eastward
from this state is new thing, at least
on such a scale as is seen now 1t Is
due to the fact that the American
price of wheat is far above the ex-
porting price. Wheat is actually worth
considerably more in the United
States than it is in Europe. Argen-
tina wheat is offered to the English
market at Is cents a bushel, less than
American wheat can be put there, at
the present price prevailing in this
country. short crop in the area
which supplies the millers of the Mid
die West has made them look to this
state for an additional supply, and as
the price which they offer is based on
Chicago quotations instead of those of
Liverpool, the exporters on this coast
cannot compete with the Eastern buy
er.
Seventy cents for club wheat and IS
cents for bluestem are the market
quotations at the wheat shipping
points in the Palouse country and in
other centers of the wheat industry in
this state. This is a price about twice
as high as the price of eight years
ago, when the country was in the
midst of a previous national cam
paign. At that time the price was
