There never was a time when there was more excuses for the war cry: "Turn the rascals out!" Turre are Protectionist newspapers | which still fancy they are deluding American farmers by their talk of ‘keep. | ing the American market for the Ameri: can people’ when their only object is to keep the American market for favored industries by barring out of it competitive products which might be purchased for less money. The farmers perfectly un. | derstand that the purchase of nearly all of the products of the soll is largely hindered by the tariff warfare we wage against the nations which are the great importers of our food stuffs. The con. trol of the American market for Ameri can farmers is assured without any leg. fslative help. The tariff makers can neither make the market nor take it away.

Just so, while we speak of it is as diverse as Europe, | the United States as a wheat-exporting country, it is really only certain sections that export wheat, while all the rest im. port it, In the entire region east of the Missis- sippi the only States that produce any considerable surplus of wheat above their own needs are Ohio and Michigan, and their balance goes only a very little way toward supplying the requirements of their neighbors. The whole State of Massachusetts in the last census year had only ninety five acres of wheat, and the six New England States combined did not grow enough to feed the town of Pawtucket, even in the absevce of the Earl Ou: bome consumption of wheat is in- pow at the rate of about a have such a crop now as the one of 183 creasing nine million bushels year.
