WHEAT DEAR, BREAD
CHEAP in FRANCE
Pecuarities of Great Wheat Growing Country nclosed
by Tariff Wall that Can Be Removed Restored at
Wl-The Paris Grain Trade. *ys III

In England bread is ~ to 8 cents a
pound. In Minneapolis, and, [ believe,
other American cities, the fixed price
for pound loaf is 5 cents.
To the old question, HWho pays the
tariff?' the answer is difficult to
find, in France. A more interesting
question might be: Who makes the
profit in America9o
The Wheat Crop Of France.
France is great wheat-growing
country. It raises as much as Mime
sofa, the Dakotas, Nebraska and Kan
sas. or from 300,000.000 to 100000 900
bushels annually. The imports are 3d.
100000 to ,40,000,000 bushels, and the
exports Tin flour and macaroni) are
2O,0O0,000 to 30,0O0,0O0 bushels. The
home requirements of France are, there
fore from a trife in excess of the crop
to a little less than the crop, varying
from year to year as the crop is good
or otherwise.
Whether this nice balancing of crop
and consumption is the result Of acct
dent or combination Of the growers ]
cannot say. But it is certain that the
farmer profits immensely by it and the
tariff.
The, American farmers in the wheat
i growing states might study the situa-
