NEBRASKA AND HER FARMERS. Benator Paddock Takes Occasion to Correct Some Current Misstatements, DOES DISTRESS NOT EXIST. The Price for Corn is Profitless, But Are Large Stocks on Hand s Not “Plastered with Mortgages." Bradstreet's prints the following communi cation from Senator Paddock ka produced year the largest r history of . staple pro- than 150,000,000 bushels were har- All other similar grain did well. The seasons were propitious and there was an en tire ubscnce of flood and drouth, which in ctions worked vast damage to agr products, Prior to the har and in fact for some time afterwar who had dared to question the general perity of the Nebraska farmer, arly as compared with his brethren of other and neighboring states’ would have been met with a prompt rebuke, His alleged poverty did not exist then does not exist nbw. It is true that there is great complaint among Nebrasks farmers of the low priec id for corn compared with the prices re ized herctofore. cbra crop in & duet, me vested last some other tural vest, any one pros- articu at e In some sections of the state corn 2 at 12 cents a bushel. Inothers, remote from market, it is so low nd a cheaper fuel than coal, which is in such localities always expensive becanse the sources of supply are comparatively re. mote. Much of the great crop still remains unmarketed. On March 1 68,000,000 bushels were reported as on hand in the s ing a satisfactory market. The anomal condition is accordingly presented of tent in the midst of bounty and of complaint in the presence of apparent plenty It may be remarked that this charge of agricultural depression is restricted to no one section, The reports of unremunera- tive labor, of low prices for tke products of agricultural industry, of “hard times" and of the dificulty of mecting mort obli- gations come allke from New England and the mi from the Mississippi va ley, from the northwest and the southwest, and with cqual volume and force from the acific coast. It is interesting to observe that such notes of discontent in_ Americu are swelled into o diapason of protest of a similar unature from the various countries of Eu rom England, from Germany, from id Italy come the same cries’ of agricultt ists, that the markets for their pro- ductions ure depressed, t competition, resulting from the' reclamation of vast s «in Asiatic Russia, in Egypt , through irrigation, and the cheap- transportation by the extension great railway systems of the East, s driving them to the while creased tillage is addig pverproduction at home.

And certainly there is none in any other section of the st It is not, however, to farmers of NebrasKa are not as prosp as they are entitled to be onsidering enormous surplus of farm products possessed by them us the result of last year's crop. But_their complaints are baséd © fitions ~ before stated —a erop and | which make its value on the farm very little more than that of a crop of hulf thé umount a fow years ago.

In this they tirely sound Tho causes of the present agriculty pression in_ which Nebraska sharcs, but hrough which it suffers far less than is gen erally believed from the exaggerated accounts of discontent originating with_political farim ers and demagogues and published in the castern press, are largely of ‘general applica tion. It is true that un unusually large erop of coru in the west has not been secompanied by # proportionately increased demand from consumers, aud in_some degree the law of supply and demand has operated to reduce prices. But this is not all of the explanation The very knowl the enormous stock of produce on 1 afforded an oppo tunlty to the widdlemen und gamblers in g to continue the depression for their own ad antage, There are yet other elements which have operated to Teduce the price o in the west. Perhaps the most notabic these is the very at advance during the ast yeAr in ocoun freights, on account of th scarcity of tonnage for the shiy gt cultural products to Europe, wher 4 ket price for our corn_has not materially red sineo the crop of 1588 was harvested id have ta by the ilroads the grain haul from the west, and in thelr own interest, as that of the western farmers, they should o ago huve reduced their own to corre spond, 50 s to have held the cost of shipment from Nebruska to Liverpool to the average of 1888, s would huve given our farmers 3 cents or 4 cents more per bushel than they have received.

Most of its settlers came to the state poor and unable irom their own resources to turn the prairie into a den. Their capital was the rich soil given them by the government nd thousands of them pledged it to secure means to erect farm houses and barns, to purchase agricultural machinery and stock The records of the court and loan companies will bear me out in the statement defaults in interest or principle ¢ have been surprisingly few. The improved farm has, with the fewest of exceptions, paid off the debt, and is doing o today. 1 know of no industrious and thrifty farmer in my séetion of the state who has found himself unable to ¢ v his obligations incurred for farm improvements, cven at this time, when prices are low and labor less remuncrative than formerly.
