THE HIGH PRICE Of WHEAT
Ose mt Ske rUhoo4a Thai Has Beea so
Offm RpMU4 That Tbni (
rpu BtiitT it
Editor Independent: As a large
number of the farmers of this country
are at this time sowing as well as sell
ins their wheat it is a very appropriate
time to discuss any or all phases of the
wheat question. The so-called great
daily newspapers have been for sev
eral years bristling In their daily Is
sue with editorial statements as fol
lows: -The present high prices of
wheat,- -The great wheat crop," "The
prosperous wheat farmers and a hun
dred more of like statements. Now
what are the facts? There is no use of
dealing in glittering generalities when
tangible facta are at hand to prove
whether the supposed "present high
prices- are high or low, or whether the
supposed -great wheat crop" was great
or small, or Just an average wheat
crop and whether the average Ameri
can wheat farmers from Bangor, Me.,
to Portland, Ore., la prosperous or not.
As to the present "high" prices oi
wheat, let us investigate a little so we
can see Just "where we are at."
It must be admitted by every one
that the export price of wheat haa In
the cast and does at present and will
for years to come control the domestic
price. This being the case, I will only
consider export prices and for the most
part I will make my comparisons be
tween the export prices of wheat for
1871, 1872, 1873 and 1899. 1900, 1901.
The export price of wheat for 1871 was
U1; 1S72. U.47; 1873, .L32. and for
ISS9. 74 cents; 1900, 72 cents; 1901, 73
cents. This shows an average decline
of about &0 per cent. What the average
American wheat farmer wants to know
is what caused that decline and how
to prevent a further decline and to re
store prices so as to make them return
some profit to the average wheat
farmer.
There are several questions to be
considered in connection with this sub
ject In order to fully explain IL Com
paring first the export price for wheat
in 1S72. which was $1.47 per bushel,
with the export price for 1900, which
was about 72 cents, shows a decline in
the export price of 75 cents on a bushel
of wheat from 1872 to 1900. Everybody
must and will admit that the? export
price and domestic price as well have
declined about as shown above. Then
the question presents Itself to the ordi
nary Investigator as follows: The av
erage American wheat farmer from
Bangor, Me., to Portland, Ore., must
be able to produce the wheat for 75
cents per bushel less than he did dur-
ng 1872, or that the average wheat
armer and his family from ocean to
ocean Is being beggarlzed and pauper-
zed by this decline of more than 50 per
cent In the export price cf wheat.
The great dally newspapers have
been busy proclaiming to the people of
this country that the 72 cents per bush
el for wheat In 1900, and the 73 cents
In 1901. were high export prices. The
period of time covered by 1901 Is from
June 30, 1900, to June 3). 1901. The
proof is that the 72 cents and the is
cents per bushel above named, are not
only not high export prices, but are
extremely low export prices.
In discussing this question the av
erage wheat farmers throughout the
country must be taken to determine the
cost of producing a bushel of wheat,
not just the rich farms and cheap lands
n Nebraska, Kansas or the Dakotas.
The wheat farms by the hundred of
thousands that have been Impoverished
since the early seventies must be tak
en into the consideration of the cost of
producing a bushel of wheat.
It would be absurd to say that the
older the wheat farm got, that It would
take less labor and expense to raise
a bushel of wheat on it. The cost of
fertilizing the average wheat farm east
of the Mississippi river amounts to sev
eral dollars per acre for every acre
of wheat raised. Many of the farmers
may not use commercial fertilizers,
but they haul manure from their barns
and near by cities and towns as well
or raise crops of clover and plow them
under. Putting all these items to
gether, they will amount to several dol-
ars per acre for every acre raised east
of the Mississippi river which was not
the case thirty yesrs ago.
There has been considerable im
provement In machinery during the
ast thirty years for putting the wheat
nto the ground, harvesting It and
threshing it. but all tbewe improve
ments will not save as much in sowing,
harvesting and threshing the wheat as
the extra cost of fertilizing east of the
Mississippi river. So taking into con
sideration all the conditions of the
farm. Its loss of fertility, we find that
It takes more human toll or a greater
expenditure of money to produce a
bushel of wheat on the average wheat
farm from Bangor, Me., to Portland,
Ore., daring 1901 than it did during
1871. There are other expenses in con
nection with the average wheat farm
and the family living on it than Just
keeping the farm ftrtile. The facts are
that it will cost much more to keep
up the improvements on the farm and
the demands of the family will require
many more dollars during 1901 than
they did during 1871. Thirty years ago
nearly all of the farmers east of the
Mississippi river had timber on their
farms to make improvements with, but
now they have not, therefore the av
erage cost is much greater for the nec
essary improvements during 1901 than
they were during 1871.
I stated above that the demands of
the average family on the average
wheat farm from ocean to ocean re
quired many more dollars to meet all
Its wants than it did thirty years ago.
In order to prove my statement, I
will consider and compare some of the
fixed charges that the family on the
wheat farm had to meet thirty years
sgo with some of the fixed charges that
the family on the wheat farm have to
meet now. I will designate only a few
of the fixed expenses. First, school
district taxes are much greater now
than during 1871; county taxes are
greater; state taxes are greater. The
national taxes are more tban doubled.
A funeral service will cost more. Doc
tor bills are higher. The general cost
of educating the family much more.
The hired man will cost as much per
month. The hired girl costs more per
week. Social environments much more.
I have proved conclusively that the in
creased cost of fertilizing and keeping
up the improvements on the average
wheat farm during 1901. over the cost
for 1871, would more than offset the
savings made by the lmpTOvements in
the machinery used for sowing, har
vesting and threshing wheat. I 'have
shown beyond all question that the
average family on the average wheat
farm must have more dollars to meet
their demands during 1901 than the
same kind of a family on the same
kind of a farm did during 1871, There
can be but one conclusion deduced
from the facts that I have stated above
and that is that it costs as much or
more in labor or In money to produce
a bushel of wheat on the average wheat
farm throughout the nation during 1901
as it did during 1871. There is no es
caping just one conclusion on this
wheat question and that Is that every
man, woman and child that vorked on
the average acre of land that raised
wheat in the United States during 1901
and received about 73 cents per bushel
for the wheat delivered at the sea
board, was and is being beggarlzed and
pauperized In this great and glorious
and of ours.

Populist Poetry
The' republican party' is sadly in
need of a poet laureate. The prin
ciples that it advocates does not seem
to inspire men to write poetry in their
celebration. The real poetry that has
been written in the last three or four
years has been by men and women who
a not in svmnathv with republican
policies. Ella Wheeler. Wilcox, Mark-
ham and Edgerton have oeen tne poets
nt thfiSB vears and thev all belong to
the opposition. The best eulogy of Mc-
Klnley so far was written oy Jtagerton.
It was as follows:
He paused upon the borderland
One moment in the fading light;
He paused and waved to us his hand,
Before he Dassed into the night, ,
There seemed to form about his head
A erlorv from the sunken sun.
As with his last good-bye he said,
"It is God s way. His will oe aone.
He was our captain. Day and night
in mm and storm we'd followed him;
And now that he had gone from sight,
What wonder that our eyes were
dim?
What wonder that with doubts and
fears.
We stood there looking, each on each.
With thoughts that were so big with
tears,
They choked the avenues of speech?
His soul was made in such a mould
That naught its patience seemed to
His heart was tempered like to gold
Refined in sorrow s cleansing nre.
He was so tender and so kind
That all who knew him must confess
The sweetness of a noble mind.
The strength that lies in gentleness.
So, when the hour of parting came,
Not friends alone were fain to grieve.
The whole world echoed with his name
And foes shed tears to see him leave,
All parties and all creeds were merged
Within one common sympatny,
As near the awful gulf he vergefi
And, "Nearer," hummed, "My uoa,
to Thee."
What soul no thrill responsive feels?
What heart unmoved the page can
scan.
When simple faith like this reveals
The Inward majesty of man?
Who so ungracious as to come
Without some wreath unto his men
Upon the pangs of martyrdom
What eye can look and shea no tearr
He paused upon the borderland
One moment in the lading agnt;
He paused and waved to us his hand
Before he passed Into the nignu t
Oh, for that fortitude we pray.
When each of us nls course nas run,
That we, like him, in trust, can say.
"It is God's way. His will he aone.
To this eulogy ,Mr. Edgerton adds
the following in prose:
One of my friends, and I am thank
ful it was but one, has remonstrated
because I have spoken in praise of Mr.
McKinley, seeming to ask why it was
that I, who had fought in two na
tional campaigns against him should
now seek to add my small tribute or
respect.
Why? Because I am a human being.
Because I am an American before I am
a partisan. The very thing that moves
me at the sufferings of the poor, moved
me at the sufferings of this man. The
very thing that gives me faith in God
and the triumph of right, stirred me
when I saw the evidences of the faith
of the dying president. The very thing
that makes me love my own fireside,
makes me acknowledge the beautiful
tribute his whole life has paid to his
fireside.
Believe me, such virtues as he has
shown are not so common that they
can be cheapened. I ask not of his
party or his belief. I fought him he-
fore for principle's sake. If he were
alive, I would fight him again on the
same ground. But no man Is worthy to
fight a battle who cannot honor his
foes, if they be worthy of honor. This
matter transcends all party and ap
peals to manhood. It is a fellow being
who has been stricken down by a cow
ardly blow, and has borne it uncom
plainingly. It is a brother who in the
hour of trial has reached out with one
hand to shield his wife and with the
other has taken hold of God. That is
enough. ;
"And now abldeth faith, hope and
love, these three; but the greatest of
these is love."

Governos N. O. Murphy of Arlsona
Is perhaps the first executive of Ameri
ca, to take stepi for legislation along
tb line, suggested by the recent tu
berculosis congress la London, eays a
Washington dispatch to the St Louis
Republic. : " , .
I'tojpri&clpal recommendations, which
urged the separation of patients and
protested agilnst public expectoration,
holding that the germs of the disease
were thus .conveyed by Inhalation to
the uhnfaicted, are to be followed by
legislation in Arizona If the recom
mendations of Governor Murphy to be
made at the ensuing session of the ter
ritorial legislature ' are made into a
law.. ; . - '..A ' -V-.-' '" :
Governor Murphy, who was formerly
delegate from Arizona to congress,
states that, while his recommendation
would be a radical measure In the mat
ter of controlling the actions and the
lives of consumptives, he believes nev
ertheless that the time is opportune to
raise the question in an official way, so
far as the territory of Arizona is con
cerned, to the extent of passing a re
strictive measure regulating the habita
tions, and residence of consumptives
in an effort to prevent the spread of
the disease by communication. No leg
islation Is as yet In effect in the Unit
ed States which directs as to where a
consumptive may or may not reside.
'There .is considerable agitation In
Arizona said Governor Murphy, "on
the question of the treatment of the
thousands of persons . afflicted with
consumption who have come to live
with us because of the salubrity of our
climate and the wonderful effect the
dry air of the desert has upon the
lungs of those who do not postpone
their attempts for relief until they are
in the helpless stages of the disease.
"We do not desire to shut out con
sumptives from the privilege of com
ing to us In an Effort to get well, but
my object Is to prevent their promiscu
ous Intermingling with the well. While
I have as yet given ho Intimation of
my intention t will now say that It is
my purpose to recommend the creation
under legislative authority of a terri
torial board of .health. Investing Its
officers With full, power to quarantine
and segregate persons coming Into the
territory afflicted .with consumption
precisely, along fbe lines of the power
of the boards of health of the various
states In quarantining against any dan
gerous contagious disease. ,
"Of course I know that this law If
passed would be of . the most vital Im
portance to the great army of those af
flicted with consumption, and it is leg
islation which would arouse much dis
cussion as to Its merits and ultimate
effects. But there are two sides to the
question. I think our people are en
titled to some sort of protection from
contagion, at least on an equality with
the patient, who Is In turn entitled to
exhaust all reasonable efforts to get
well. It would be Inhuman to deny
them this chance, but I shall recom
mend that a law be passed prohibiting
them from living in hotels, and board
ing houses with well people and requir
ing them to live upon the desert In such
places or sanitariums to be provided
and In localities where the possibility
of contagion will be as greatly reduced
as the circumstances permit.
"The recent declaration of the tuber
culosis congress in London as to the
means of contagion has affirmed the
need of Isolation and control In com
munities where there are a great many
consumptives. The newly created board
would have power to examine the ar
rivals In the territory In the trains and
determine whether they are proper sub
jects for control. Persons coming to
us would be obliged to obey these di
rections or pass out of the territory.
Persons afflicted with consumption, es
pecially those in the last stages, who
flock to one center are a great menace
to the inhabitants and cannot be said
to be desirable companions for close
association." -,'.-'
Governor Murphy further says that
it is his Intention to recommend that a
law be passed prohibiting the Issuing
of a marriage license to persons afflict
ed with incurable diseases and that a
proper board of physicians be consti
tuted to determine Upon the question
whether such persons would be per
mitted a license to wed In his territory.

' In the outcry at this time against

be forgotten that there is an anarchy
of wealth as well as an anarchy of
poverty. When millionaire Flagler

that he can do no wrong you believe

Devery's home In New York looks

foreground, say 8 the New York Even

a high light The chairs were built for
big people. There are no spider legged
affairs made to be seen and not sat
upon. Mrs. Devery was not in, but
Miss Devery was:
"I am proud of him, she said, with
an aggressive toss of her pretty bead as
If, possibly, she anticipated a contra

"I am not a bit worried about him,"
she went on, sitting down squarely In
one of the sturdy armchairs. "He's
well able to take of himself and any
thing that may happen to him."
' She was asked about his home life.
"He always notices what we are all
wearing. He always tells me what he
likes and what he doesn't like. He likes
me In broWn, and he likes me In even
ing dress. And if one's hair happens
not to be just neat he speaks of it in
a minute. But he is. so nice In his
home. You don't know what an inter

have everything .nice. He likes to see
the rooms looking just so and to have
the table just the way be likes It and
although he , has so little time he no
tices everything. But he. doesn't fuss
about what doesn't suit him. He Is so
easy to please you don't know.
"We always breakfast together, all

Florence is young she is In school yet
and father Is very fond of her. He is
always in a hurry in the morning, but
he never talks business then. Then he
is gone all day. and often he Is so busy
he doesn't get home to dinner and
sometimes not till very late. Of course
he never gets here at noon. He lunches
down town when he lunches at all; but
you know, a good many days he is so
busy he doesn't get time to have lunch
