Wheat Market Prospects Ashore and Political Storms
A late nineteenth century Evening Observer item analyzes the wheat market, forecasting a 226 000 000 bushel current crop demand and a 390 000 000 bushel surplus in grain producing nations. It notes Russian ports closed for winter, suggesting American exporters have an inside track. The piece then shifts to political theatre, condemning a speculative bid to appoint Lincoln as president in 1884 and criticizing attacks on Senator Ferry and Wubbell amid alleged government-employee banking. The column mocks the public for believing such claims while lambasting congressional corruption and the cost of American liberty.
