Hopkinsville, the wheat center Of
western Kentucky, comes a statement
of the other side of the picture:
There is very little wheat remaining
in the hands Of the farmers. but local
mills are offering $1.3O per bushel
for all that is brought to them
Always there is the struggle be-
tween the ultimate consumer" and
the producer
That is causing the discussions
among the Democratic representatives
at Washington. preventing them eau
cnsing and giving rise TO shouts Of
Judas, and "traitori" Each wants
the tariff so adjusted. that a high
tariff viii bar competition from the
things produced in his district, and
free trade provisions will reduce to a
minimum the cost of necessities,
which his district does not produce.
The farmer gets more for his
wheat, but the laborer pays more for
his bread. The laborer gets better
wages, bu. the farmer pays moro for
his wire
But. they say not much wheat re-
mains in the hands of the farmer
No, we presume not; but IL 1t did. the
price. would be up just the same. We
cannot pass laws, compelling farmers
to hold their wheat for a certain
price. We cannot assure them they
will get the price, II they do hold 1t.
But those, who did, are reaping their
reward. Ordinarily we talk about the
wrongs Of the farmer. but II he isn't
making money on his wheat, he can
not blame the market. On the other
hand, Patten may be right, when he
says he simply took advantage of the
law of supply and demand.
However, the thought of specula-
ton in the necessities of life is OBJ
noxious, and, as in this case, is liable
to work hardship on the consumers of
bread without benehting the produc-
ers of wheat

Padueah the stigma, largely unde-

a fee of ten cents the mile. This
amounts to few cents over s74 for
