WHAT THE HOME MARKET MEANS.

Americans are not only the greatest producers,
but they are also the greatest consumers on earth
Our annual production Of wealth Ia estimated at
around 10000 900, 900 year. while our total con-
sumption runs to three.fourhs or more Of that
amount. No other nation ever did or ever could
cxpend aOoO0,000,000 a year In providing itself
with food, clothing, housing and Injuries.
That is why the American market il such a rich
prize, and the foreign producers are so ANXIOUS TO
ret into this market--but II doesn't explain why
the democratic free traders NO anxious to admit
them to compete with American producers on tie
unfair basis Of foreign standards, A protective
tariff II designed to bring foreign costs up Amer
lean standards; the free trade policy advocated by
The democrats will force American costs down TO
the foreign level, or put American factories out Of
business, which means the same thing In the end.
When American waRcs lowered to the rate
paid abroad or American mills are closed, the farm
crs chance Of selling his produce TO the home CON
sumcr Is lcssened. Farm prices must come down
accordingly, or the stuff not be sold, II we are
told and the democrats continually repeat the state
ment, that the farmers prosperity depends on the
European market, let examine the record.
In 1891 10000 American workers were out
~ employment; the export Of foodstuf greater
than in history, and what followed?
In that year according TO the records Of the
Department OF Commerce the American farmer
exported 27p04s Gal bushels Of wheat, 60,000,0 600
bushels more than he sent abroad in 1920, twice
much rs he exported in 1918, and five times the
average cxportaton Of the period 1909 to 1913,
and more than al any other time in the history Of
the nation. In 1921 the farmers Of the United
States sold abroad t29,000,000 bushels of corn,
against $4,000 900 bushels in 1920 and 23.000,000
bushels in 1912 and average Of 100000 bush
els for the i9O9-l9l3 period, and more than ever
had been sent abroad In single year before Dairy
and meat products went across the water in similar
proportions.
In other words the American farmer had the
European market and sold there more than he ever
did before, and went broke.
WHY lie was cut Off from the home market.
Five million men out Of work had lost their buying
power. This has been restored to them in large
measure and the farmer Is assured OF chance
TO sell HE produce at home and at n better price
than Europe afford to pay II experience OF
the last two years has taught any lesson, II ought
to be the value Of the home market.

AFTER THE. WORLDS SERIES.

As already stated, baseball enthusiasts are par
tsan and so II is not difficult to account for certain
expressions of disappointment from the partisans
of the losing team. Another phase OF the outcome
ia entitled to some consideration. Gate receipts
for the five games loom to the impressive total of
sG05, aT5 an average Of 1921 900 game. OF
this amount H20,554 given to charity, it being
the amount paid for admissions to the game that
resulted in tie Compare this total with the $780,
23S paid for admissions last year. and the impress
sion IL that the team owners lost money because
of the brcyity of the contest
When n further comparison is made with the
$50 900 collected at the gate in 1903. When the
series was inaugurated, the intake at The box office
begins 10 show its true proportions. In 1908 loo,-
900 persons were in attendance; in 1922 the turn
stiles registered 1891. This does not show that
the capacity of the grounds for accommodating
patrons has been enormously enlarged but that the
price Of admission has moved up considerably
A further statement is made that the amount
OF money to be turned to the respective teams
Il not sufficient 10 cover the expense incurred IN
nreparing for and carrying on the contest Each
team, will get sal 200 as It's share, the statement
that TIE expenses will not be met by this sum
means that more than $4,000 game was needed
TO meet the cost
These figures indicate the extent TO which base
