COST OF rOOD PRODUCTS.
We find in tho Chicntjo Inter Ocean
am inquiry into the cost und tho prico of
food products, which is n most interesting
and important subject for consideration
of producer?. The ileclii.oiuinarkct values
of nil bread stuns, meats and mnnufao

i 1870, SI 21; 1877, SI 10; November,
1S73, SI 03.
From 182I-7S, Indiiin coin avvrigid
OS 8-10 cents per bushel, ami in Novem
ber, 1SS, the price declined to tij
cents per bushel. These iiguies giw us
thu fact that wheat and com hear a
much lower prico now than the average
for 37 years, aud a price disproportioned
to tiie purchasing power of gold for all
that time.
That paper attribute" tin cuiso to
forcing p.iper currency to p ir with coin,
and to disproportionate development of
agriculture'. It states that since the
panic of 187.T half a million people have
gone west from New Kngland and most
of them have engaged iu farming. Also
others have gone from other K.tstern
States. Want of employment in towns
tins driven thousands, throughout tho
United States, to agricultural pursuits.
During the year ending June', 1878,
there was increased sale of public lands
to support this view, and ollicial rojiorts
show au unprecedented t'.owof immigra
tion into Minnesota, Nehtaskn aud
other States. It is claimed tlut we
have overdone the business of produc
tion, and the remedy is said to be that
wo must increase home manufactures
und so increase demand for homo pro
ehicts. Wo givo the argument of the
Inter Ocean us follows
The remedy is simple, hut time will ho
required to apply it fully aud :uccoss
fully. We must build up more branches
of manufactures at home. For instance,
iu the ten years ending .Iuiim 30, 1877,
we consumed tin pl.tto to tho value of
S10.',H7,077 01, every cent of which
was paid to foreigners. Tint manufac
ture represents an annual onsuniptioii
of over 150,000 ons of pig-iron, and
about 1,000,000 tonsof coal, with about
fifty rolling milts to supply thu demutid
for this plate. Were this employment
for capital and lulior transferred to our
soil, a new matket would to opened at
home for tho sale of American food,
with great beruefit to our farmers.
During tho ten years ending J line 30,
1S77, wo imported, mainly for our homu
consumption, $43,7 17,08r of raw hemp;
$20,705,137 of manufactures of hemp;
9,483,744 of raw flnx. and 103,391,
719 of manufactures of flax un aggro
gate S242,ii31,250. Nearly all this
might have been produced at home. In
that case, agriculture to-day would uot
he developed far out of proportion to
manufacturing industry, and would not
ho suHering so intensely from low prices
for farm produce.
Western tanners must arouse them
helve's to a tltte regard for their own
interests.

That paper proceeds to urgo farmers
to demand thoroughly protective duties
ou nil articles we can produce -md man
ufacture at home, and we mtut say that
wo Iwlieve in wholesomo protectiot., uud
re-coguiie that if we were independent
of tho world aud able to keep the pro
ducts of our mines and of our labor,
we should of necessity become tho
richest jieople in the world; but we
must nlso recognize that at tlie present
time tho world is our customer in great
excess of our own purchases of foreicn
goods. Our manufacturing industries
are prosperous nheady, as tho result of
protection, and therefore) it is reasonable
to believe that oxteudint; protection to
other branches w ill give us still wider
range ot enterprise in that ehrection.
While that h n reasonable view we
must look the main question in the faco
una not dodge any point that is material
to the issue and the .solution of the
problem wo seek
It labor saving machinery and thell'eorio,

tmv, enable half or twothirtls of tho
working jieoplo of the civiliaxl world to
proauce as much in proportion as tho
wnoie community could produco two
generations ago, or a hundred years ago,
it will follow that unless wants nre
stimulated tevond what they were in
the past, a "reat proportion of tho
people who seek labor must remain idle,
or that the employment of all who Beek
labor will cause over production and
glut tho markets of the world and cause
revulsions and ruinous reactions. If
such is tho case whilo protection mav
stimulate our home industries and oil
atlo American enterprise to competo
more successfully than ever with other
nations it will not relieve tho universal
evil of over production. It is no doubt
true that a natural solution will be
