THE WESTERN FARMER OF AMERICA.
BY AUGUSTUS MONCRKPIKN.
CHAPTKK I.
INTRODICTORY.
Tho golden rulo for successful trad
ing is "to buy in the cheapest and
sell in the dearest market" Strange
to say, the American former rtvewos
this rule. He sells in the cheapest
and buys in the dearest market. For
what he raises he gets a lower price,
and for what he consumes he pays a
higher price, than the land tillers get
and pay in any other country in the
world. This is a very singular state
of things, ami is well worth thorough
examine t ion.
While the .Western farmer himself
neither receives nor seeks any legis
lative "protect ion" he is compelled
by law to supply his wants, not from
the cheapest sources, but from cer
tain privileged establishment to
which he has to pay extravagant
prices.
"While he requires no State subven
tion, because his occupation U of it
self a profitable one, he is heavily
taxed to support unprofitable manu
factures in the Eastern States, and
has to make good their losses out of
his profits. That this is hard upon
him everybody must admit, but no
one realizes how really hard it is, or
how vast a sum is year after year
wrung from him in this way, with
out resorting to figures and settirg it
forth in dollars and cents. This we
shall proceed to do as accurately and
as briefly as we can.
1. How much is actually taken
yearly out of the pockets of the Amer
ican farmers by compelling them to
buy dear, instead of allowing them
to buy cheap, goods.
2. What becomes of the enormous
sum that is yearly drained from them
in this way.
3. How this dreadful f.nd wanton
waste can be avoided.
CHAPTER II.
KMT MUf'H IS ACTUALLY TAKEN" YEARLY.
By the census of 1S70 the popula
tion of the United States was found
to be 38,000,000 ; and the number
over ten years of age was 28,220,000.
Of these, 12,606,000 were engaged in
various kinds of occupations, the rest
being women, young persons of both
sexes, idlers, etc.. What were the
respective employments of these 12,
506,000 workers ? According to the
census returns there were
9,922,000 persons engaged in agriculture.
S.doi,SOO persons engaged in I riifisnliinsl ami per
sonal service.
1,191,000 parsons enraged la trade and tranpo.-ta-M.
C54,e00 persons engavjd iu merrautiic trades and
2,064,000 persons engaged in man ufacl tares.
ttjiatjBM
In round numbers, there were two
millions of persons engaged in manu
factures, and these were exclusively
privilegbd to supply all the physical
wants (exept food and lodging) of the
other ten and a half millions of work
ers and their families.
As in these pages we only profess
to represent the case of the American
farmer, we must confine our atten
tion to the six millions of persons and
their families who are engaged in
the cultivation i the soil. It is quite
true that the remaining four and a
half millions engaged in professions,
in trading, in mining, and in person
al service, are sufferers to quite a
proportionate extent, but they do not
come within the scope of the present
inquiry.
Now let us see what is the actual
amount which the formers (that
is, soil workers generally) spend
yearly on the goods produced by the
manufacturers.
In the first place the tix millions
of agriculturalists of 1870 must by
this time have increased to at
least 7,500,000, as will no dcubt be
seen'by the census of 1880. To be
.within the mark we will call them
7,000,000, nearly all of them having
wives and children. Now what is
the. annual average expenditure on
all articles of consumptim, except
food and drink of each of these fam
ilies ? On caaeful investigation and
i.vnouiiaiiuu nun v.fiivicu I (;U5 111-
irers and with nersons most onm.
- ... i i i .
that we are within the mark In com
puting such annual expenditure at
200 dollars per family, including
within that average the small minor
ity of unmarried men among the
7,000,000 agriculturalists. . It must
be borne in mind that this amount
inclades Woolen, cotton, linen
and silk fabrics, and therefore every
species of clothing for male and fe
male, as also sheets, curtains, blank
ets, carpets, etc. 2. Iron and steel
manufactures, and therefore all iron
work, wire, cutlery, tools, forming
implements, farriery, agricultural
machinery, as well as railway con
veyance on iron, which cost very
much more tharp it would have cost
had it been imported from abroad.
Tteathern fabrics, and therefore boots
and shoes, saddlery, gloves, etc.
4. Earthenware and crockery, tin
ware and glass, and numberless oth
er household necessaries, all of which
come under the price-inflating influ
ence of the Custom's tariff. It is on
these subjects that the- greater por
tion of the agriculturalist's outg )ings
is expended, for he is but at little
expenjc for his food. Moreover this
yearly average of 200 dollars per
fomdy comprises a large number of
rich and. well-to-do persons, and it
may safely be assumed as rather under
than over the reality.
Having now cleared the way thus
for, it is easier to calculate the total
sum annually spent on manufactured
goods by the farmers and agricuitur
alits generally of the great Central
aud Western States. The amount
being 200 dollars to 7,000,000 families
is, therefore, 1,400,000,000 dollars in
the aggregate.
The next step is to ascertain what
portion of that amount the farmers
would save if, by the atniition of the
JSfce
Import duties they were left free to
supply their want rmm tho cheapest
market,' wherever that might be,
v hptherin America or in Europe,
uhcthei in New England or iu Old
England, This question is easily
solved and answered, is, fortu
nately we have tho guidance of pos
itive facts supplied by the official re
turns of the United States Govern
ment. From these we learn that tho
prices are so high in America and so
low in Europe, that in spite of the
enormous duties levied on them, con
siderablequantiiics of European goods
are imported into the United states,
where they must of course, laave a
profit to the senders, or they would
not be sent. Let us enumerate some
of the leading articles imported in
the year 1878, stating their amounts
and tho rato per cent of duties which
they had to pay :

What do these figures mean? They
mean that the prices which the West
ern farmers and the American poo
p's generally, now pay for their
woolen cloths and stuffs are so exces
sive that the British woolen manu
facturers can atlord to pay from f4 to
70 per cent import duties for the ad
mission of their goods iuto the States
and e till get a profit, that is to say,
that (taking tho average duty at M
per cent) the WeUt-rn farmer could,
if he were allowed to buy where ho
could buy cheapest, get the same
quantity and quality of woollen and
worsted stuff for 12 dollars for which
he now has to pay 20. Eight dollars
out of twenty thrown away I
They mean that the prices which
the western farmers aow pay for their
cotton and linen goods are so exces
sive that the British makers of tho
same goods cau afford to pay from
30 to 03 per cent import duties for
the admission of their manufactures
into the states and still get a profit.
That is to say, that (taking the av
erage duty at 69 per cent) the farm
er's wife could, if she were allowed to
buy where she could buy cheapest,
get the same article for G dollars for
which she now has to pay 0. ' Three
dollars out of nine thrown away !
They mean that the American rail
ways.are constructed of iron which
cost so dear that the British makers
can afford to pay 30 to 40 per cent
import duties for the admission of
their goods into the States, and still
get a profit; so that the railway com
panies are compelled to charge the
Western farmer a proportionately ex
cessive rate for the conveyance of the
produce to a market. The burden
of the difference, ol course, falls on
the patieut back of the Western form
er! Those figures mean, in short, that
the same enormous artificial inflation
of natural prices runs through every
article (except food) with which the
former has to provide his family.
The American has extraordinary
advantages over the British farmer.
He has, first, a soil -o fertile as lo
produce freely with cheap tillage and
no manure ; second, a climate highly
favorable to agricultural operations ;
third, abundance of land so cheap
that the fee-simple costs less thun is
annually paid for rent in England.
But on the other hand the British
former enjoys for the present one de
cided advantage: he sells his produce
in the dearest and buys his clothing,
implements, etc., etc., in the cheapest
market in the world.
Let us, howover. continue our in
quiry as to the total annual amount
taken out of the pockets of the West
ern formers by exorbitant protective
duties. These duties have a very
wide range. They are as low as 10
per cent on diamonds, which the
Western farmer does not use, and as
high as 03 per cent on cleaned rice
which he does use. They are levied
on no less than 1,000 different arti
cles, some of them yielding less reve
nue than it costs to collect it, and tho
whole producing a complexity which
gives comfortable employment to
swarms of clerks, etc., at every sea
port. The heaviest percentage rates
are those imposed on articles of gen
eral and necessary consumption by
the people, which accordingly con
tribute very nearly j three-fourths of
the total amount collected. But let
us strike an average. By a careful
comparison of the total value of the
chief dutiable foreign articles import
ed in the year 1878, with the total
amount of duties levied in that year
on the same article-, it has been
C learly ascertained that the average
rate of duties paid Oil their value was
i -l per cent. Were the average con-
faned to tne articles named in the
above table, It would no doubt muh
exceed 42v per cent, but, to be with
in the mark we will adopt the gen
eral average. This average thea
(42 per cent), is the measure of the
difference between the prices which
the Western farmers now pay for
what they consume, and those which
they would pay were foreign articles
admitted duty free. The prices
which the manufacturers in the East
ern States make the American peo
ple pay for their goods are not, and
cannot be, less, but, are, and must be,
bomething more than 42 per cent in
addition to British prices, or else how
could the Britisher pay an average
of 42 f per cent duties, and still make
a profit on what he sends to Ameri
ca ? If the prices paid by the West
ern formers to the manufacturers of
the Eastern States only exceeds Brit
ish prices by, say 2o per cent, no
British goods, having to pay 42 per
cent import. duties, could possibly be
sent to the United States. The very
fact of large imports being poured in
year after year (asshownin the above
table, for 1878), in spite of the 42
per cent duty for admission, makes
it clear that the prices in America
must be at least 50 per cent in excess
of those current in England, or else
those seodings would leave a loss,
and would be discontinued. Those
importations ba it noted, are not fit
ful or intermittent, but are, though
fluctuating in amount, constant in
their recurrence. The continuous
overflow, however slight, of a tank,
Is clear evidence of its being full ;
and, In the same way the continuous
Importation of goods burdened with
42 ,! per cent duty is clear evidence
tnat the ordinary prices of such goods
in the Importing country must keen
sufficiently high to make such impor
tations profitable.

A recent dispatch says that tho
Anti-Monoply League, whose head
quarters are In New York, have re
ceived applications for charters for
branch State Leagues from twenty
four dtfforont States. The movement
Is one In which the people of the
United States must take the deepest
interest, and It is evident tho central
organization understand how to
arouse the nation to the danger
threatening them. What can he
more vivid than tho truthful condi
tion of affaire, as drawn in the ''Ad
dress to the people" issued by the
League, which says :
"Monopoly is growing In all of the
States. It has completely subjugated
only one. In California It has ripea
ed its fruit. There, monopoly is
King. There, a few men control
steam transport ion. They have an
nihilated competition. There is not
a farmer, not a producer between
tho mountains and the Pacific who
does not pay heavier tribute than
conquered people ever paid to their
conquerors. They fix the value of
the farm, the mine, the mill and the
forest. They decide year by year
whether the producer shall make a
profit or a loss ; wetber his children
shall travel toward tho academy or
the poorhou.se. They name senators
and Judges. They have their candi
date for the Presidency. They have
bound the prosperity of California In
fetters of iron, as fatal as death, as
unyielding as the grave. Reviving
commerce, which covers her sisters
with the sunshiue of prosperity, can
not pierce the walls within which
she is imprisoned. Her toll may
bring forth golden grain, her mines
yield a golden harvest, hut her peo
ple do not profit thereby. Once they
united together, made a constitution,
and declared that a repetition of the
acts which had destroyed competi
tion, should henceforth be crimes,
and those who committed them be
punished as felons. These monopo
lies nullified the Constitution and
went en making the very contracts
it prohibited."

To be "twelve miles from a lem
on, 'may be as much of a misfortune,
after all asOail Hamilton represented
it. - One of our exchanges publishes
the following list of "uses" which
would make the fruit almost a pana
cea and cosmetic besides.
The lemon is a native of Asia, al
though it is cultivated iu Italy, Por
tugal and the south of France. In
Europe, however, It seldom exceeds
the dimensions of the smallest tree,
while in its native etate it grows
ninety feet in height.
Every part of this tree is valuable
1b medicine, t tough we rarely em
ploy any of It but Its fruit, and that
is the lemoa Itself ; and ever one
knows how to em ploy this, as In lemon
ade: Squeeze the Juice in cold water,
that is the shortest way, or to out it
in slices and boil It ; either way is
good. Lemonade is one of the best

whether in health or not. It Is suit
able to all stomach diseases,. Is excel
lent in sickness, in cases of Jaundice,
gravel, liver complaint and fevers.
It is a specific against worms and
skin complaints.
Lemon Juice Is the best anti-scorbutic
remedy known. It not only
cures the disease, but prevents It It
also prevents chilblain. Lemon is
used in intermittent fever, mixed
with hot black tea or coffee, without
sugar.
Tin: Oregoaian Railway Company
limited, more commonly known as the
"Narrow Gouge" has met with defeat
in its attempt to appropriate to its own
uses a ortion of the publie levee in
Portland. The syllabus of the decision
is as follows: Under the provisions of
the statute, without an agreement with
the ioeal authorities, a corporation can
not appropriate a highway or public
grounds already dedicated to a public
use, to its exclusive ase aad occupation.
In such case, the grant of power to
take property appropriated to public
uses, cannot be exercised in such a
manner as would obstruct or subvert
such public uses." The appropriation
of a public levee by a railroad corpora
tion for the purpose of erecting there
on permanent structures, sueb as depot
buildings, side tracks, etc., would create
such obstractiecs as would defeat or
extinguish the public use, aad is aot
within the grant of power without an
agreement with the local authorities, as
prescribed by the latter clause of
section 28. It is somewhat comforting
to know that there are some things a
railroad cannot do. The general im
pression has prevailed of late that it
was only necessary for a corporation to
want anything, and all others must
stand aside until its wants were satiated.
In 1871 the yield of wheat was
230.722,400 bushels, in 1875.292,
130,000 and In 1880 80,842,728
bushels. In the last decade the pro
duction of corn has increased from
991,898,000 bushels to 1,537,535,940
bushels. In 1880 the grrin area of
the country was 104,142,676 acres.
Ten years - ago the total export of
grain was 72,122,398 bushels ; last
year It amounted to 228,538,947
bushels.
The Grandin Bros. , of Dakota, are
said to have raised last year 187,287
bushels of wheat, and that the odd
37,000 bushels paid all the cost of cul
tivation and marketing, leaving 100,
000 bushels at 75 cents per bushel for
profit.

WHEAT.
The week has showu a quiet, al
most dull, market. Sales have been
small and on a basis of $1.30 on wharf.
Tho holidays abroad prevented busi
ness there, and as no advices were
received here, operators naturally
held aloof from the market. The
uncertainty of the freight market
here, uncertain owing to the high
asking freight rate and evident un
willingness ef shippers' to meet the
views of ships also tended to prevent
business. Holders all along have
declined to let go under $1.80, and
now that ships have got all they de
manded It is not probable that wheat
will decline. There are a number of
cheap ships near at hand which cau
allow $1.80 to be paid. Of course
with freight at 90s. that figure could
not be paid, but exporters will work
as serves their purpose best. Tho
foreign market for the past two days
has shown considerable firmness,
with a quoted advance in somo
qualities, but tho market abroad can
not be said to show a healthy under
tone. The Ban Francisco Merchant of
April 1st, contained a statement of
wheat on hand In the Htatoof Cali
fornia, placing the stocks at 714,010
short tons. These figures, large as
they may seem, bear evidence of
correctness, a. In many sections
It Is now known that stocks were
underestimated at the turn of the
year. The yield of the southern
portion of the 8tate Is believed to
have been largely underestimated.
In the face of a heavy promised
yield at the rapidly approaching har
vest and the presence of so large
quantity of old wheat there can be no
decline In freights. It Is said that
California, with tho tonnage In sight,
cannot possibly clear more than 2o0,.
000 short tons prior to July 1st, at
which time tho new crop begins to
move. Add 401,000 short tons to
the 1,860,000, confidently expected
from the coming harvest, and for tho
fourteen months ooming there must
be 1,700,000 to 1,900,000 tous of ship
ping to transport California's grain.
Oregon Is in much thesamo condition,
although small figures are used, ana
what affects California also affects
Oregon.
The Iron ship KUerbank has been
taken at 87s Cd for Liverpool, with
usual advance of 2s Od If for order-.
The vessel had been on the market
somo days demanding this figure. It
is reported this morning that the iron
bark Odulia, now at Victoria, has
secured the same rate. There are
now no distinguished vessels in port,
and those now expected have charters
secured, although they might be
open to recharter.
The Ohio Department of Agricul
ture makes a report of the condition
of the Winter crop In that State
which is not encouraging to the wheat
growers. There was a larger area
sown to fall wheat, but this later re
port estimates the damage by winter
kill of 80 per cent. It is probably too
early In the season to make such a
definite estimate. It may chance
that when Spring-like weather shall
come, with warm rain and genial
sunshine, the wheat fields that had
seemed so dead will come to life
again, to the surprise of this early
estimate of lose, as well as an agree
able surprise, to the wheat growers.
At Adelaide, Australia, January
21st, It la stated that the reaping wai
nearly completed, and a small out
come of the wheat crop was generally
expected. The samples were vari
able, the best not coming up in
quality to crop of 1880. Prices were
above English limits, and, with
the ruling freights, wheat could not
be laid down In England under 49s
to 50s per 480 tbs. cost, fre.ght and
insurance. Wheat was In good de
mand and competition active for
choice samples. There were plenty
of vessels unengaged. Commercial
