TIIE FARMER IN THE FUTURE ,
How Ho Will Bo Affected by tbo Prom

GREAT INCREASE IN CULTIVATED ACREAGE ,
In the IncrnnHn of the
Population nnd tlio ItRHiiltn to
\Vhluli Importation
Twenty years slnco wherever the cultiva
tor owned the land ho occupied ho was ox-
ct'ptlonally prosperous nud so continued to lw
until about the rnlddlo of the eighth decade ,
when the opening of so many now forms in
the Missouri valley and the development of
Indian wheat exportation so changed the re
lations of supply nnd demand for food pro
ducts thnt prices fell greatly and the farmer's
revenue , from n given area , was greatly les
sened , yet. It is more tlmnijuestlonablo If this
lowering of the price of food has resulted
beneficially to Iho Industrial clasjcs although
It bus enabled them to buy their food for less
money , yet probably such food has , because
of tbo disastrous chaugo In the farmer's ' con
dition , actually cost them moro labor than It
would had prices remained ut the level ob
taining during the first half of the eighth decade
cado when the price ( In gold ) of Knglish
grown wheut , In the markets of Great Brit
ain , was a.1 psr cent greater than the price
obtaining In the sumo markets
in the year 1800 , ns the changed
conditions surrounding thu employment of
the capital and labor of the farmer have , in n
very lurgo measure , destroyed the purchas
ing power of tin ) most numerous class of tbo
customers of the merchant , manufacturer ,
artisan and laborer.
The agricultural population of the United
States numberslomo : 25,000,0.x ) uud Is 40 per
cent , of the whole and when the purchasing
power of such u great proportion of tbo poo-
pi o bos been destroyed , or greatly diminished ,
It moans lessoned employment for others ,
lower wages , as well as a lessened purchas
ing power on the part of all the industrial
classed , moro or loss commercial stagnation ,
hard tlmos , a descending scale of land nnd
other valu s , and increased indebtedness on
the part of the producing classes , whose
wares ore selling at or below the cost of pro
duction. This hits long been the cn o with u
very considerable part , if not the whole , of
the agricultural class und bus resulted In loss
power to purchase the products of thu iubor
of others who , in turn , huvo thereby had
their purchasing power diminished so that
the whole economic fabric has been subjected
to unprofitable conditions wulcn have uiroct-
od all classes alike , If In vurylnt ? degrees. '
In the cnso of the American , us well as all
other farmers , the reduction in his returns
have been abnormally great as the prices of
form products , as measured by the price of
wheat , were 85 per cent greater during thu
llrst half of the eighth decade than those
obtaining during the yeur Just closed and
this change in price very accurately measures
the chaugo in his purchasing power and the
result is that lie wears last year's coat , buys
litllo or no hardware , puts up few or no now
buildings , manes tbo old buggy last another
year , the daughter has to do without tbo
promised musical instrument , thu son cannot
secure the expected education andtbo
makers of hardware , coats , boons , pictures ,
organs , pianos , furniture and curriuges and
teachers , transporters , merchants , Jewelers ,
professional men and artisans nro but half
employed , nnd find it more dlltlcult to buy
Hour made from 75-cout wheat than they
would If wheat had novcrsold below $1.50
per bushel.
This state of affairs has , however , under
the conditions which hnvo existed in this
country , probably been Inevitable , and wbilo
many such uuxtlfary causes as the unreason
able exactions of the transportation compa
nies and the far-rcnchlng nnd baleful prac
tices of the board of trade gambler In farm
products hnvo been largelycontributory , Iho
primary und potent cause lies deep down lu
that desirn of the race to own u homo and sit ,
ouch man , under his own vine nnd fig trco
which bus found such wide scope for Its real
ization on tno public domain where all were
welcome to n farm without money or price ;
nnd this , in the ubsonce of a retarding forest
growth , resulted in an Increase of 112 per
cent In the cultivated ureu of the United
States during the fourteen years ending with
1885 whllo population Increased but It per

crease In nearly us great u ratio us prior to
1885 or 12.5 per cent the cultivated area has
Increased but 7 per cent nud the rate of tlio
acreage increase is yearly and progressively
lessening , one consequence being that the
quantity of laud employed In tbo production
of food tor exportation has diminished from
21,000,000 acres in 1S85 to 10,0011,000 in 1801
nnd co'itinuing to diminish at tbo same rate
will , by 1895 , have wholly boon absorbed by
tbo requirements ot our added population.
The following tublo shows the rapidity of
agricultural development nnd the progress

being mndo to tlio cultivated area and Indi
cates thu early coming of that time when the
American , and especially western , farmer
will bo the most prosperous member of the
community.

The price of wheat having boon 73 per cent
greater for the tlvo yean ending In 1ST5 than
during the last tlvo years , It follow ? that the
\
purchasing power of the farmer has boon
lessened In nearly line measure , although
there has boon KOIUO llttlo reduction In the
cost of production. Add again this proportion
tion to tbo purchasing power of the Immense
agricultural class of the United States ntul
every nrtl.san , laborer , minor , manufacturer ,
merchant , transporter , builder and profes
sional man will bo fully employed , wugcs
good and the whole Industrial ilfo bo iuilck-
enod In un astonishing manner. It is almoit
Impassible to conceive that such n chutigo Is
impending after the experiences of recent
yean when the farmer has teen , notwith
standing nil his Industry and privation , the
dnbl with its annual Interest charge , yearly
increitslni , ' . That such a change is impend
ing und us susceptible of proof n.t data exists ,
but requires the labor and patience
necessary to Its gathering and tabulation , to
sh iw tlia.t there i * a deficient ncreugo us well
as u most direct relationship between popu
lation , acicago In staple food pro
ducts , prices for sucu products and
the prosperity of tlio cultivator as well ns the
prosperity of all other classes as there cuti be
no doubt that all the industrial forces uro
just ns dependent upon , nnd Just ns inti
mately connected with , the prosperity of tbo
basic Industry us in thut remote past when
thu founder of tbo second Persian monarchy
said- There can bo no power without an
nrmy ; no army without money , und no
tnontiy without a prosperous agriculture. "
In the view of this most successful statesman
the farmer was. the ultimate source of all
wealth us well us power and to see thut such
is still the ciwe wo have only to watch tlio
stock markets nnd observe how values rise
nud fall as the crops urj full or meager.
Many things have changed since the days
of Artoxcrxos , and Industrial processes differ
wonderfully , tmt the great underlying prin
ciples have not changed und when the basic
Industry is In nn unpnuporous condition
there will bo but llttlo money moving , mm
thut llttlo moving slowly through the
artoriut of industrial uud commercial Ilfo
while the body politic will bo in Just the state
wo have seen during the period when tlio
acreage devoted to the production of food In
creased more rapidly Mian the consuming
population. Now , however , the condition of
the furmer is chunging for the batter oven
moro rapidly than his affairs changed for the
worse during the eighth nnd nintn dccndos.
Wheat production may bo said to bo tbo
controlling factor In acreage distribution ns
well as In production as the product is at nil
times and everywhere salable at some price
nnd It Is thu ono product that Mio farmers of
tne temperate zone rely most upon to furnish
the needed monoy. This is no less true of
Kussiu than of Australasia ; no less true of
the United States than of India and the
roiult is that out of the area now employed
in AmericaIn producing food for exportation
about eighty per cent , thereof is devoted to
the production of wheat.
During the eighth decade the wheat acre
age of the world Increasoddn round numbers )
'JtUHUOU ( ) acres , or Ifi.O per cunt. and treat
ing the compulsory exports of India as being
equivalent to an addition of acreage , the
addition to the supplies of the bread-eating
population of European blood was , during
thut decade , equal to tne product of ! i7.0X,000 ( )
acres und at the ascertained average yield per
aero would give u yearly out-turn of IttO.UU'J.- '
000 bushels which att.7.1 bushels per capita ,
was euual to tbo reuuiroments of ( iT.lHJO.OOO
people whllo the bread-eating populations
increased but 41,000,000 so tliat had rye kept
puce with the increase In thu rye consuming
part of the bread-eating world there would
have been , nt the end of the eighth docude , a
surplus wheat acreage equal to the require
ments of IM.OUO.OOO pcoplo.
Assuming that the wheat acreage twenty
years since when prices were " . ' ! per con
greater than during the last llvo years und S5
per cent greater than ia IS'Jil ' was suniclont
to meet tno requirements of the then existing
population wo lind the acreage ut
tiio beginning of the ninth decade
cado , ( treating the recently developed
Indian exports us an increase of available-
acreage equal to tbo production of a like
number of bushels ) was some 9,500,000 acres
in excess of requirements and during that
decade there was uddod to such wheat pro
ducing ureu 4,101,000 acres ( being
but " .II pur cent ) or an
area eiiual to tlio requirements of
1,0'JO,000"people ( ) which added to the ytl.OOO-
000 wliicli tne surplus acreage , ut the begin
ning of tbo decade would supply , and wo
have ut tno end of tlio ninth decade n supply
sufUelout for : IO,000UOO out of the 00,000,000
thut have been added to the broad-eating
population of European blood since 1SSO , the
residue beintc supplied oy the enormous re
serves that uccumulatod in mill , warehouse
anil farm granary during the existence of a
surplus acreage , such reserves now being
quite exhausted.
From the best data obtainable it would np-
pear that with an average vield , the world's
crop of wiieat is now 100,000,1)00 ) bushels loss
than thu yearly consumption , and that each
passing year by reason of the increase in the
bread-eating population , adds from twenty
to twenty-live millions to this yearly deficit ,
so that by ISD. ) it can hardly tie loss than
L'00,000OUO bushels , if the per capita requirements -
monts remain us 1'irgo n * they have been.
Up to the present time the reserves -accum
ulated iiurmp me existence 01 a surplus
acreage hnvo sulliccd to meet this deficit
such doiicit in tbo live years of its continu
ance und grow'li ' having probably aggregated
UOO.OOO.OOO bushels less the excess of tlio
great , crop of 1887-8 , but there is abundant
evidence that these roservis are everywhere
exhausted.
The people of Europe yearly consume
about three bushels of rye per capita , and us
no additions have boon made to the world's
rye lields since 1S70 , thuro is nn additional
draft of something like 17,000,000 bushels
with each recurring year lo meet a demand
for wheat , created by the failure of the rye
Holds to expand as the ryo-catlug population
increases , and this bus consumed much of
the world's surplus of wheat probably UiO-
000.000 bushels sluco 1S80 ; hence the yearly
additions to the supply of wheat und rvo
must Uoroafter be from 40.000,000 to13,000 , -
000 bushels. In other words : wo must an
nually add to our wheat und rye lields nearly
four million acres , while the additions of the
lust ten yeaw have been but 400,000 acres
pnr annum.
All additions to the area devoted to the two
principal bread-making grains have ceased in
Europe as a whole ; have ceased in the
United States aim among the exporting
countries. Such area is Incicaslng only in
Canada , Australia and Argentina , and only
in Argentina docs It keep puce with domestic
requirements. ' The other primary food
staples show a somewhat greater rolalivo in
crease ; but , taking all kinds of grain and po
tatoes , they are now increasing loss than one-
fourth ns fust as thoconsuiulng population.
Of recent years the cultivated acreage of
the United States Increasing less than 0110-
hnlf ns fast ns domestic requirements , wo
nro yearly making great inroads upon thu
ucrciigo heretofore employed in producing the
grain und animal products sent abroad , nnd
while we now export exclusive of cotton-
something less than t ) per con tor the products
of our farms , this percentage must , from in
creasing homo needs , dimmish moro ttiuu
onu-lifth per year.
Owing to our Inability to muko further
considerable drafts upon n public domain
that has been practically exhausted of its
tillable- portion and thu rapid augmentation
of domestic population and requirements It
appears probublo that wo shall cease to
export food ut the end ot llvo years und ns

200,000,000 bushels of wheut and u still
greater quantity of rye , to say nothing
of other food staple.hitth prices must

for high prices as the deficient acreage now
uxlstnut ensures such prices from this your

Grout Telegraph S
Few parsons oulsido of Ihe- newspaper and
telegraph ofllcos understand the vast , com
plicated machinery by which the HOWS of the
world is daily gathered and transmitted
from point to point. Tnis great system is
oxplnined In detail In the Century under the
title , "Tho Press ns a News Gatherer , " from
which the following facts uio taken :
The records of the Western Union tele
graph company may bo consulted to show
the extent of tbo expenditures by the Indi
vidual newspapers nud the Associated press ,
for telegraphic tolls uloao , on this the largest
telegraph system.
During the year ending Juno 30 , 1890 , the
Wostcru Union telegraph company delivered
ut till stutlons 32'2OS.S,4IS ! words of "regular"
or Associated press report. This was deliv
ered to nn average of two newspapers In ouch
plnco , at an uvcnigo cost of I ft rents per ono
hundred words for each place. Tills is ren
dered possible only by the great number of
places served on u circuit from thirty to
forty being supplied in some . cases
ut the same lime. During the
same period the company handled
200,025,001 words of specials , nt an avor.igo
cost of 51 emits per 10(1 ( words. These figures
do not include reports transmitted by tbo
Associated press over Its leased wires , or
special correspondence .sent on Individual
newspapers' loused wires. Estimating the
two classes and the reports of the outsldo
press , there was delivered to the news
papers during that year an aggre
gate amount of 1,500,000,000 words of
tclogranh news. On iho regular ser
vice n llttlo moro than 22 per cent U bundled
by the telegraph company in the daytime ,
while on the special service only about n per
cent of the volume is bundled In the duvtlmo
The day rate Is twice the night , rate. On tno
Associated press leased wires the proportions
tions uro U4 percent of day report to 00 per
cent of night report , and the difToreuco Incest
cost the same ns by Western Union lines.
The total press receipts bv thu telegraph
company for the year oudlng June : W , 1890 ,
Including regular , special and lensnd wires ,
were 31,848,247.23.
It should bo borne in mind thut these fig
ures do not include tolls on other lines , or
cable tolls , or the wages of correspondents
and operators , or miscellaneous expenses , or
the sums paid for news by both individual
newspapers nnd the Associated press , which
would uggrogato a very largo sum.
Olio very interesting feature of the news
service , of which tbo public has no knowl
edge , U telegraphing In cuses of storms and

tbo utility of a vast system is inudo manifest.

Neither should the public bo led to bollovo

In December , ISS.'l , a little group of ladies
mot In the pnrlors of the old First Methodist
Etilscopal church nnd with the nssistnneo of
Mrs. Ban1 nnd Mr * . Fuller the Woman's
Christian association of Omaha was organ

and innddhlon to such relief ai the ladles

good deal of very creditable work was done
from tbo very llrst In distributing the neces

Many poor children nnd grown people were

association luu. taken the house on Fnrnani
street , there were 473 persons cared for at
the homo , ! M old ladies were cared for ; ! " ( >
children were taken In nnd provided for , nnd
203 girls were provided with homes.
Thus the peed work went on constantly
growing nnd in Juno liiST the association pur
chased a house and lot nt 2718 Hurt street for
which the Indies am-ood to pay $5,000. They
ptld $1,500 in cash null through the liberality
of the citizens of Omaha the Indies have boon
enabled to meet the deferred pay men Is
promptly.
ThU homo is n large , square , two-story
frame building admirably adapted to the pur
poses for which it is now used. It is sur
rounded by n largo , shady lawn , ornamented
with ( lowers beds and neatly kept. The
house is reasonably well furnished nnd is a
model of cleanliness and comfort. On the
back end of the snno : lot with the Homo
building the association has a good sized
cottage , presented by the motor street rail
way company. In this cottage the associa
tion has permitted several needy families to
live for a short time without paying rent
until they could got upon their feet and face
the world with some show of winning in the
struggle for bread.
When n reporter for TUB BIE ; called yester
day at the Homo on Uurt street ho was mot ,
at the door by the matron , Airs. F. B. Weeks
and was shown through the entire houso. In
the main building there were ton old ladies ,
each occupying a room to herself and all
apparently surrounded with enough
to make them comfortable.
Some of the old ladies had been in the homo
for several years and said they were comfort
able , la many instances their relatives con
tribute to thuir support , this being a quiet ,
comfortable and inexpensive ulaco for the
aged women to spend their last days on
earth.
There are sonic , however , who arc entirely
supported by the Woman's Christian associa
tion and doubtless will be until they dlo.
One old ladv , tliey'call ' her "GrandmaCary , "
is perfectly helpl s nnd 1ms been for some
years. She is tenderly and watchfully cured
for by strangers who bend over her in love
and pity and try to provide everything that
will relieve her suffering nnd sooth her care
worn and wrinkled brow as she nears the
borderland of life , where her burden will be
laid down.
There is one old German lady in the homo ,
who can't understand u syllable of English ,
and another poor old soul , now very ill , who
bows under the burden of nearly ninety
yours , but who is well cared for and fur
nished with medical attendance.
A poor woman with throe children is at
present occupying rooms in the cottage. This
building will bo used hereafter as a part of
the homo and will not bo occupied Uy fam
ines.

"You will probably be surprised , " said
Mrs. Weeks , "to Know that wo got along horu
with only two hired nsbiftantit myself and
ono girl. These dear old ladies do n Innro
share of the work themselves. They wait
upon each other when they nro nhlo and try
their best to bo ai liltlo trouble as possible.
And how generouktho people of Omaha are
In donating the monov and the provisions wo
need. If the people of Omaha knew , though ,
how those grand women of the Christian as
sociation work in this good cause , and how
anxious they are to assUt the poor and help
less , the donations would bo oven inoro liber
al than they are. "
In addition to the "Old Women's Homo"
the association conducts the "Woman's Ex
change In Tin : BEK building nnd the "Young
Woman's Homo" at 109 South Seventeenth
street. There are at present twenty-two
young ladies boarding at the homo on Seven
teenth street. It is in every respect an ideal
homo for young ladies who are obliged to
support themselves. The terms for board
are made us low as possible to cover the
greater part of the expense of the homo.
The association mot yesterday nt the
"Young Woman's Homo" and transacted the
usual routine business of the month The
ttiroo principal enterprise. ? conducted by the
association are In excellent working order
and the prospects for enlarged Holds of use
fulness are very promising.
