READ PROPHECIES OF THE PEER
LESS IN 1896 AND 1900.
The Western fanners in 1901 , regardless -
loss of the prophet , know that their
wheat crop is worth more than last
yiur's by 150 millions of dollars.
Other grains represent as large a total
value this year as last , the shortage in
yield of corn being made up by advance
in price.
Potatoes are so high that the short
crop will probably return more money
to the farmer than over before.
Live stock represents a value of nearly
250 millions of dollars over last year.
Applea and other fruits arc extraor
dinarily high.
The farm products of the United
States this year are doubtless worth 400
million dollars more than last year's
outturn.
The cereals ( wheat , corn , oats , rye
and barlej' ) raised ii the United States
during the past five years represent a
value to the farmer of (5250 ( millions of
dollars , or an increase of nearly 1000
millions over the preceding five years.
Cotton growers have netted 400 mil
lion dollars more for the the past live
crops (1901 ( crop estimated ) than for the
previous five.
Taking 1896 as a fair basis of values
during the late agricultural depression ,
nine staple crops for this year represent
an increase in value of over 700 millions
of dollars. Live stock is worth 1000
millions more now than then.
During the past five years , agricul
tural exports have been 988 millions of
dollars greater in value than for the
preceding five years , a gain of 80 per
cent , while exports of manufactures
have almost doubled in value. The ex
cess of exports over imports is nearly
three-fold that of 1890-97. Whereas in
the former period the United States lost
220 millions of dollars in gold , during
the past five years it gained 192 millions ,
or a net addition to the nation's gold
supply of 412 millions. The total stock
of gold in the United States now (1125 (
millions ) is double what it was five
years ago , and the per capita circulation
of money ( $28) ) is 33 per cent greater
now than then.
With a keen foreign demand for our
surplus , the American farmer certainly
rejoices in a glorious prospect for
profits , prosperity and happiness. Or
ange Judd Farmer.
The democrats of Scott county , la. ,
which includes Davenport , have re
newed their declaration of last year
that "the money question has been
settled and is no longer an issue be
fore the people. ' ' In 1892 , with an
honest money platform , Scott county
gave ! 5,200 democratic majority. In
189(5 ( , on the free silver platform ,
Scott county gave 1200 republican ma
jority.
