But Well Produce More.

The following figures by Prof NJ. A.
Carleton in Science are not only in
terest;ng at the reading but open up
vista for thought in connection with
our back-to-t the farms tendency:
Thu home consumption of wheat per
capita in this country, including seed
and wheat flour (at IL bushels per
barreD. has been as follows: 1870. SOP
bushels: 1880, 5.52 bushels: 1890, $40
bushels; 1900. 5.11 bushels. The same
is estimated to have been about $50
bushels in 1906 and G.S4 bushels in 1908.
There has been much f1uctuation, and
the figures may settle at about bush
els for 1910 or perhaps more. Anyway.
there has been apparently an increase
of about l bushel in our per capita
consumption since 1870. We may sup
pose an equal increase in the equal
period of the next forty years, max
ing bushels for 1850, though it may
he considerably less.
Al tiie Idte VI 1 DuSi1elS per capita
a population of 16O,0O0.0OO will require
100000. 600 bushels of wheat. This
amount taken from the production of
1.60O000.000 bushels estimated for that
year. and which is shown to be very
conservative, leaves a surplus of $780,
100000 bushels Some predictions of
our future population have placed it
much higher than 100. 100000 for 1850.
one making it as high as 200, 100000
Surprising this last to be correct, at :
bushels per capita. that population
would require 1,4OO, 900 bushels
leaving still surplus of 100000, 900
bushels. Again, if we assume that there
will be a greater increase in per cap
ita consumption resulting in as much
as bushels by 1850, the amount re-
quired at home at this rate would be
l,2S0,0o0000 bushels, leaving a surplus
of 100000. 900 bushels. Surprising both
contentious of the larger increases in
population and consumption should be
true, which is extreme improbabl BILE, the
demand would just equal the supply.

This Is Easy.

A prominent Republican has been
much agitated over the statement by
one of Democracy's most brilliant and
skittsh as we'll as reckless war bosses
at North Arson not long since, that

revenues. 81 100000. yet to be paid in,
would leave the treasury as empty as
| il is now" by the first day of January.
and he comes to the Journal with the
proposition that this paper ought to
answer such talk.
The journal would comment that to
answer all the rank idiocy advanced by
Democratic speakers and especially of
this particularly irresponsible war boss,
would be an insult to the intelligence
Of the people of Maine and task
whic, would discount that of Hercules
in cleaning the Augean stables!

would have made a much greater
splash.

been running from minimum of $780,

this discrepancy of the Democratic
speaker is around s4s0.0OO at least.
quite a comfortable sum.
But to this son of Democracy half a
million or SO out of the way is & mere
bagatelle!
Gentlemen of Maine. when Demo-
cratic statesmen make such talk as
this man did in North Arson. don't
hit him over the head with a
club! He perhaps can't help his con-
dition. ANY man trying all this sum-
mer to make out some sort of case
for Democracy must be suffering from
overwrought nerves and an magma
ton like kaleidiscope's insides!
The statement that the public treas
ury is empty is also untrue and a base
libel on the credit of Maine
From now on to January / Democra-
cy will get no comfort out of the
Treasury's daily balances, because the

That Hinckley Bridge.

The most prominent Democratic cam
paign speaker in a speech at Pittsfield,
blamed Governor Fernald for not hav-
ing paid the Bridge company the bal
ance due on the bridge across the Ken
nebec river at Pishon's ferry. He stat
ed that the company threatens to bring
legal proceedings against the State and
charge interest for the unpaid balance
ard more of that sort of conversation.
The Journal would reply by simply
stating the facts:
The resolve, appropriating $4,000 for
the bridge between Fairfield and Gin
ton. imposes a number of conditions.
among others making the basis OF pay
mcnt of the State appropriation depend
unon what the counties Kennebec and
Somerset and towns Fairfield. Clinton
and Canaan appropriated and paid.
The total cost. therefore of the Hinck-
lev bridge could not be readily ascer-
tanned and the matter was delayed un-
til all the bills were in before the final
certificate of the Treasurer of the
Bridge association could be made.
This Treasurer only recently got the
final bills together and it was not nn-
til August 10 that he called at the Of
fee of the State Auditor here in Au-
gusta and executed the necessary GER
tificatc
OF the s25 900 which the State appro-
priated, $l3,Sl5 has been paid in two
pa yments March 80 and April %.
AS above stated the balance has not
been certified for payment by the State
Auditor because. until all the bllls
reached the bridge commission. it was
not known just what sum the State
would be liable for under the conditions
o. the resolve The final payments will
soon be made.
And so another Democratic charge
against the administration of Govern
or Fernald is explained away. dissipat-
ed, exploded-by the facts in the case,
but will the distinguished stump speak
er retrac;?
Hardly.
In all cases these Democratic charges
are found to have either no basis what
ever or are founded upon half truths.
BY such unfair and. it would seem.
contemplate tactics, Democracy hopes
to muddle voters minds, change their
opinions and secure, while thus de-
ceived, their votes
Beware!
1t is perfectly safe for voters on
hearing the allegations of Democratic
orators or editorials in Democratic pa
pers to Immediately decide that these
charges against the Republican admin
istration, no matter how cunningly put,
are based either on ignorance Demo
cratic INSTRUMENTATION, or attempts to
deceive and, the first or the last prop
osition is more likely to be the true
one!
