The War and American Farmers.

Au0 a ono AiASAb bSoo - sA4Saos
Will the European war, by causing an
increased demand for agricultural prod.
ucts, benefit the farmers Of this country
Il 10 by NO means certain that 1t will.
The savings OF the world In one year
may amount to 5000, ,000, 600 or $6,00O,.
000, 900; the war will destroy that amount
of wealth in three or four months.
Consider the resulting scarcity Of capital
throughout the world, the consequent
restriction of production, the diminished
supply of labor, the increase in the rate
of interest. Farmers cannot escape the
effects OF such economic disturbances.
Suppose that most farm products do
advance; does 1t follow that there will be
real increase In profit to the farmer?
Will farmers AZ group lose more than
they gain on account Of the higher
prices they must pay for every thing they
buy? Farmers are consumers as well as
producers; they are buyers as we'll az
sellers, even of agricultural products.
Suppose that wheat goes to $1.50 or
81 a bushel. How many farms in one
hundred raise whealp Only twenty
three. Consequently, seventy-seven
farmers must pay exorbitant prices 70
twenty-three farmers for one Of the
principal articles of food. Most wheat
farmers buy their -four from the mer-
chant; they will have to surrender In
that way some of the profit that they
may receive for unground wheat.
No farm produces everything, or near
ly everything, that its owner needs.
Potatoes grow on only one-half OF all
farms, and sweet potatoes on only eight
cen percent Of them. Cotton may 60 to
fifteen or twenty cents pound, but We
must remember that less than one-quar-
ter of the farms raise cotton. Sugar, dry
beans and rice are raised on only small
proportion of our farms. Moreover, 1t
the war continues, the prices OF CLOTH
ing, and almost all sorts of manufactur-
ed goods, will rise.
1t is not even certain that there will
be an increased effective European de-
mand for our farm products, not except
ing wheat. Europe has suspended cred
it pay ments, and will take only gold;
consequently it must pay gold. As
rule, the nations at war are not paying,
and cannot pay in goods, and the loan
market of this country has been closed
to them. Cotton manufacturing is par
alyzed in the warning nations, which
have taken yearly about two-thirds OF
our crop. Fruits have been exported
from the United States to the countries
at war to the value of $50 600, 600 year.
That demand has ceased absolutely.
We have no meat that We can afford
to export. II we do export it, the price
Of meat, and of meat animals, will sd.
vance, and there will be q wasteful
slaughter of immature cattle. 1t would
be q misfortune both to the farmers and
70 the nation to increase or even to con-
tinue the overslaughter Of meat ami
mails that has occurred in recent
years.
The European war cannot really bene-
fit the farmers of the United States.
Small groups of producers here and
there may profit by it, but when the
actual results of the great upheavai be-
gin to make themselves felt, the farm ing
population as a whole must face di-
minished market and lower prices

Nothing could cheat them of the

Very slow progress was made In

much difficulty in understanding the

however, to having hidden under the

The court session was marked by
an almost continual clash between

thrashed out, and on another occasion
