Half of tlicM; are east of the Alleghenies and north of Delaware, and the other half on the Pacific coast and the Rocky mountain region. In the former the cause is found in large yield per acre aHd high prices, both the result of de mand for consumption by a large pro portion of the population engaged m non-agricultural pursuits. In the lat ter, the climate is not so well suited to maize, and mining and manufacturing stimulate the demand. Where prices are lovest, there is either an excessive production or a very low rate of yield It requires nearly four acres in South Carolina to equal the value of one in New Hampshire, although the soil of the former is superior to that of the latter; and it requires more than three acres in Nebraska, which makes the highest average rate of yield, to produce the value of one in the Granite state. These results depend far more upon iuequahtieH in distribution of population. and especially in the ratio of consumers to producers, than upon climate or soil The higher values per acre in wheat arc found in the eastern states. The middle states and the Uocky mountain district generally make relatively high average. The entire northwest runs below the general average, and also the entire eotUm states, la the former beeatutt of supply beyond con atioa, aad ia the other because of low rate of yield. The average rate of yield lor the country, twelve Iraefcels, ia aeariy the mum m thai of Europe. f with a small acreage, has an more than twioe a large, while wnk a large breadth, average aoareetr two-thirds as mueh as the United States. As population shall in ereaae. higher cultivation and soil en rSehment will follow a a necessity This result is beginning to be seen in the practice of the most progressive wheat growers, ami Is shown in the differences of state averages. Even the exceptional richness of the western prairie hi fully offset by the fertiliaa tion and cultivation of relatively poor soils of the Atlantic coast. In this way the wants of a population of more than 1O,O0,wO people sitould ie met ny a breadth of wheat no larger than that of the present year. AVKKAGK PltODUCTtO.V.

The Itata, after leaving San Dietfo, took on board a consign mcnt of rifles and ammunition which had been, shipped from San Francisco on th schooner Kobert and .Minnie.

The set run to that point is ahoat 700 miles. The Ktata being heavily loaded, although reputed as p faat craft, it i estimated that she cannot exceed sJ knots an hour, and the Charleston, which left San l'edro this morning, i thought certain to overtakcher orreaeti San Lucas m advance of the transporfcIf not found there the Charleston will proceed direct to Acapalco, which wil 1 lie the first port at which any further intelligence, can be received.

LIQI4V1.ATION. A mwrnge IUvla4iHi I a many ways the people hare wH itesaed wumVerful dlaplaya of ability o tlM jrt of iv publican statesmen la shaphiK leyiMlatkm "on a pinch." It has been a pueuliarity ot latter-day rvHblleaHiHm to franu laws which wtHikl ueeetJtate expensive avotdaiiee el calamity by the adoption of x pollen U calculated to tide the peopltj "over a pinch." It was republican financieriiifcf that raatlu lurye hiuouhU of government bondK notuinally fall due in a single year. Then, when the ''governmeut faith" was to be preserved, the people were told that there was danger of "a pinch' and it waa neoosaary to reftutd ther.e lMMida In other on which they would have no option a to pay ment for a lontf term of yearn. It has thus happened that as a result of this peculiar lcirUdation the people have been taxed to pay a premium of fair IM.tltil on bonds purchased by the present HdiniHihtration in the opiii market because the option of payment had been surrendered. Hut there has been brought a disturbing' element into the house of republican iinaneieriiii. Sir, Secretary Foster was assumed to lie a skilled exponent of republican doctrine. He had demonstrated his tttness to associate with pvnt men by his ability to make g'nins in business. He was a financier aud a statesman lecnuse hu had wealth. Hut with his advent has come a stningo rev elation of the fundamental ideas of re publican statesmanship. He finds tho jwople were taxed long years ago for the purpose of having -a fund of coin wherewith to redeem thoir paper mon ey wnen Uesireti. A law nail been passed authorizing' tho secretary of the treasury to sell certain bonds of the United States for the purpose of pro viding the necessary redemption fund. It was determined by the secretary of the treasury tinder the discretion allowed him by law that he would hold $100,000,000 of coin for this purpose. With this understanding the people have accepted the greenbacks, relying upon the good faith of the government to maintain at all times tho redemption fund sacredly for tho purposes stated. And now comes the dealer in calico, aud tells the people that all this was mere pretense, and that "on a pincli" the coin held as a reserve fund for the redemption of the greenbacks is to be used, and the "basis" of which re publican orators' have grated so eloquently is to be swept away. It happens then that plain citizens who have nbt been so fortunate in their dealings in cotton goods are driven to exercise what little talents they may possess to discover what is the net result of this form of republican financiering. They are forced to the conclusion that for the last sixteen years they nave been taxed for the maintenance of this fund. They know it has been in the strong box of the government awaiting their pleasure. On this fact has rested their faith in the government's ability to re deem its paper money. Hut because one billion dollars have been appropriat ed by an extravagant congress it now be comes necessary for the government to deaeoil the tceawry of thereaerre fund. From tta state of facta taey are xoreea to another aoaeiaaiott that is not ealealated to exalt their opinion of this kind of financial ability. Although they cannot find in any statute a provision demanding the maintenance of any specific sum as a reserve, and although the law of 185 leaves this mat ter entirely at the discretion of the secretary of the treasury, still they assert that the constant policy of the government in the past and the fact that the people have lieen taxed for this express purpose have been full warrant for the faith that the sum so held should never lie squandered or touched except for the purposes for which it was gathered. Against this peculiar policy the busi ness men of the country have not been slow to protest. They understand what h meant by the law and practice, and contend that the government paper money Is no more a legal tender than when the law was passed in 1675 for the purchase of coin for its redemption. They see in the determination of Mr. Foster a strange leaning to the ideas of the fiatists who inveigled so many Ohio statesmen into the profosslon of principles of finance long since discarded. If it be true that the greenbacks may stand as acceptable to the people because of their legal-tender quality what defense Is Mr. Foster to make for the expensive plan of a largo coin reserve which is to be used for other purposes at the first "pinch?" It will lie well for the people to look into this matter and let Mr, Foster understand their views, to the end that the country shall not again lie brought to the old condition wherein there was no other basm for their paper money than the faith of the people. It is not true, as has been stated by Mr. Upton, that the usj of any part of this fund will place Mr. 1-oster in danger of impeachment. .Mr. Unton has overlooked the main feature of republican financiering. Theo are not iretitlemen who have placed safe guards against their own dishonest acts. Their discretion has been deemed sufficient guarantee of their proper action. That this has proved defective does not change the law. Mr. Foster may do as he pleases under the statute, but tho people are not without recourse. They still have the ludlot, and when the next congress mecu their representatives will find a way to force secretaries of the treasury to respect the unwritten law. Chicago Times. THE TREASURY DEFICIENCY. The lHtrnH KcHlt nf KfMiMbaa MUmtMitticemrnt. The treasury is depleted. The revenues of the current year have been spent, and in addition the surplus that was left by the democratic administration and the trust funds for tho protection of the holders of national bank notes have disappeared. The public debt will not be materially iicrecd at the end of the current fiscal year, the Vttth of dune, because this treasury had atoreJ-wp frimV when theTepttblieah resumed lite full control of the governmout hi Deeember. HM

SHAPING

The fiscal year of la will legta oa

the 1st of July. The appropriation for it were wade at the laat aeasUm of coiigtvMt. Kxpwiwiiturea on their aeuount will not begin for more than a month to eome, but in the meantime, aad for the Hrst time in thirty yeaia, the rutted State government la in straitened circumstance. Secretary Foster does mA. know how lie is to py the iH'xt, quarter' petudon bill, that fall due on dune 4, He has some 931,000,000 of small change in the treasury, but that will not be sutMeient by 91,000,000. If he succeed la getting together enough money to meet thla extraordinary obligation and to pay the current expenses of the government, the tieasury will begin tha next Hacsl year without any reaerve or surplus. The government will have onlv it future Income to meet the ex traordinary charges with which the billion-dollar congress has burdened it. The regular annual and permanent appropriations demand about 9600,000,000, This extraordinary sum mu$t be mid out of the revenue of the current year or tue puouc ueut musi. ue in creased, unless the general government proposes to follow the example of some of the states and repudiate its obligations. What are the chances that the government will lw able to pay it expensive way with its income? According to Secretary Wlndom the receipts for the year will be $378,000,000. Comment upon'theso figures is unnecessary. They spenk for themselves. The estimate, of uourae, is not correct. It is simply a conservative surmise, but In view of tho new tariff law, the full effect of which is not yet ascertained, the revenues are quite as likely to fall below as to go above tha amount stated by Mr. YV'mdom. If we assume, however, that they will amount to $400,000,000 the outlook is not much brighter. There must be an enormous deficiency. In consequence of the absolute control by the republican party of all branches of the government the UnKod States are not able to iniy their way through the coining fiscal year, and a new debt of from Sl.M),O00,O0O to 3200, CKR 000 must be created to meet the emergency. To the extraordinary expenses of the year there must be added about $Tj0,OOO.OOO of 4f per cent Iwndrt that fall due on the 1st of September. Secretary Foster has practically admitted that he cannot pay this debt, which .will not lie much if any larger than the contribution required by tho statute for the anuual payment to the sinking fund. ' The government is going backward. Republican extravagance has destroyed the surplus. The treasury Is slipping back into debt We are no longer niecting our obligations. The billiondollar congress lias made ducks and drakes of the public money, and although we are not at war nor seriously menaced, and although our income ia abundant, we are forced to face the necessity of increasing our debt in order to bestow largesse upon the favorites of the republican party, pension agents and other enemies of honest soldiers, politicians who seek vote with nblie buildings aad river harbor improvements, subsidy banter aad a swarm of henekiaea for whom Mwottees nave been created. The country has been robbed by Mr. Reed's tittlr buftinese conirreae of all that it has, and of more. The wiping out of the debt ha been stopped for a time, and it becomes the dutv of the new democratic house to face the situation without flinching Economies must be inaugurated, no matter who may be hurt The govern inent must Imj bf ought bu!k to the honest paths of thrift and prudence. Tariff taxation must be reduced that revenues may lie increased. Mr. Harrison and his senate may do as they will, but the democratic party must exert all its power to the healing of the financial ills with which the country has been afflicted through the brief ascendancy of the party of monopolies and trusts. S. Y. World POLITICAL rlOTES. In the west the republicans are trying to organize a Farmers Alliance of their own. Western Americans are sometimes most humorous when they are serious.
