A Wall-street financier says: “ If present, calculations arc real
ized. we shall garner a 700.000,(HHI bushel wheat crop, a 2 . 000 . 000 ,-
"00 bushel corn crop, a 1.2tHt.0tt0,(t00 bushel oats crop. The virld of
potatoes and bay is also likely to be eonsiderably ahead of last year.
The total value of these five crops is estimated at $.'{.000,000,000. or
about $2(Mi.OOO.tI"" ahead of last year. In all probability the aggre
gate of all agricultural wealth produced this year will be about $!>.-
000.000.000 as against $S..‘> 00 . 000 . 000 . the figures of the Department
ot Agrieulture last year. What this annual produetion of new wealth
means to this eountry may be estimated when it is remembered that
the eapital stork of all the railroads in the United States is placed
at $8,470,000,000. An increase ot $.>00,0110,0(10 in agricultural
products in a single year cannot but be a powerful stimulus to
business. ”
That is the optimistic aide of it. It is the side that everyone
I■ kes ..... '"template at all times except the man who seeks an excuse
now ami again lor the high prices that combined big business inter f
csts resolve upon. It is only the wish of all well-meaning people that j
this magnificent rorii crop will not disappear when the beef barons
start out to tell the eountry that we are no longer raising provender |
for rattle, and that with shortening supply the demand must mean
more money for what they sell, lint when these men and others of
their ilk get ready to enter their apologies they pay no attention tot
the facts of greater production; they simply make the sweeping state-
ment that we are fast approaching the margin where we will not raise
enough to live decently upon and they simply have to conserve tile
supply as best they ran by charging the highest price the market will
bear. If the Wall-street man and the statisticians of the Department
of Agriculture would take some ot these gentlemen in hand and {
teach them at least the wisdom of consistency, their simulated pes
simism might appear somewhat less ridiculous.
