GRAIN and GOVERNMENT

However, the system changed when
England became manufacturing
country. England since then prefers
to manufacture for all the world and
to import grain for the Industrial
workers from her various colonies.
To some extent this is the natural
outcome of the English colonial en-
pire.
In Germany, during the Middle Ages
trading in grain was strictly under the
supervision of the cities or the state.
Later on, the system of grain elevators
owned by the state was developed.
Frederick the Great especially made
use of such elevators.
Clear up to the middle of the nine
teenth century there were also laws
compelling cities, villages, and even
private individuals, to store up part
of their harvest as a reserve.
During the great French Revolu-
tion the convention, in 1898, by law
compelled all dealers in grains and all
farmers to state what grain they had,
and to sell it at certain price.
Those who did not obey the law
were in danger of losing their heads =
and this was not a figure of speech,
either, because some spectators real
ly did lose them.
Yet this law was one of those that
even the revolutionary convention
could not enforce.
AS late as the middle of the nine
teenth century some European coun-
tries passed laws to forbid the export
alton of grain from their respective
territories in case of shortage of q
crop, and they also forbade the manu-
featuring of articles which used grain
as raw product-as, for instance.
brandy, beer, starch, face powder, etc.
All of this is very interesting for
the student of history.
However, the fact remains that there
is absolutely no excuse or basis for a
grain famine, or even a dearth of
wheat, in America
Scientists continually tell us that.
with our modern means of production.
and the facilities at our disposal,
enough grain and enough agricultural
products could be raised in the Mis-
sissippi Valley alone to support all of
humanity.
And now there appears in the Chica-
go wheat pit a man by the name of
James A. Patten, an alleged philan-
thropist, and a pillar of the Presby-
terian church, and of the goodly and
godly city of Evanston, a high moral
suburb of Chicago, where they have
not single saloon; and this man Pai-
ten, by starting "a corner in wheat
! by which he makes millions, sends tho
price of grain soaring sky-high, and
! renders it impossible for millions OF
useful workingmen and their families
to secure sufficient nourishment for
their bodies.
Truly, there is something rotten in
Denmark, and also in Chicago, New
York and the surrounding villages
