  • Corn Exchange 1891-1892
    Berwick Advertiser 1891 Berwick Advertiser 1891 January 23, p. 2, column 5. BERWICK CHORAL UNION. MARITANA. Last night the members of Berwick Choral Union gave their 22nd annual concert in the Corn Exchange, which was filled by a numerous and appreciative audience. The work selected for performance this year was Vincent Wallace’s charming opera “Maritana,” which shares with “Lurline” a large measure of popular favour. The chief features of “Maritana” are its florid orchestration and its fine melodies. The dramatis personae of the opera are Maritana, a handsome gitana, soprano; Lazarillo, mezzo-soprano; Don Caesar de Bazan, tenor; Don Jose de Santarem, baritone; Captain of the Guard, baritone; the King, bass; the Alcade, bass; chorus and soldiers, gipsies and populace. The argument is as follows: Maritana, whilst singing to a crowd of people in a square in Madrid, attracts the admiration of the King of Spain. Don Jose, who is an unscrupulous courtier, observing this, determines to satisfy the King’s whim, and then to betray him to the Queen, with whom he is bold enough to be madly in love. Don Caesar de Bazan, who is an impetuous spendthrift, arrives upon the scene, and in order to protect Lazarillo, who is a poor boy, from arrest, challenges the Captain of the Guard, an action which by a recent edict of the King entails death by hanging. He is arrested and imprisoned, but by Don Jose’s influence his sentence is changed to the more soldier-like death of being shot, on condition that he marries a veiled lady; this he consents to do.

TIME FOR A NEW FARM POLICY .............. 97 APPENDIX: THE CAUSES OF FALLING COMMODITY PRICES ........................... 99 In 1996, free market Republicans and budget-cutting Democrats offered farmers a deal: accept a cut in farm subsidies and, in return, the government would promote exports in new trade deals with Latin America and in the World Trade Organization (WTO) and would eliminate restrictions on planting decisions.1 In economic terms, farmers were asked to take on risks heretofore assumed by the government in exchange for deregulation and the promise of increased exports. 2 This sounded like a good deal to many farmers, especially since exports and prices had been rising for several years. Many farmers and agribusiness interests supported the bill, and it was in keeping with the position of many farmer representatives and most members of Congress from farm states who already supported the WTO, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the extension of fast-track trade negotiating authority, usually in the name of supporting family farmers.

  • The World of International Grain Traders, 1846-1914
    Centralizing Firms and Spreading Markets: The World of International Grain Traders, 1846-1914 Morton Rothstein University of California, Davis For economic and business historians, the repeal of the British Corn Laws marks the true beginning of market competition on a global scale. Perhaps this explains the early interest in the history of the grain trade by two pioneers in businesshistory, N. S. B. Gras and A. P. Usher, each of whom wrote a major book on structural change in the internal markets of France and England respectively [25, 66]. Their studies of market integration during the early modern era have been revised, if not replaced, only recently by Steven Kaplan and John Chartres [14, 15, 35]. We also have a fairly solid understanding of the significant intra-European trade carried on both in the northern seasand the Mediterranean before the 19th century. Yet there are relatively few works available on market integration for breadstuffs since 1846 in institutional rather than statistical terms [40, 57]. After 1846 the geographic spread of the grain trade took several generations. In the first half of the 19th century its center lay on an axis that ran from Amsterdam and Antwerp through London. By the 1870s Liverpool, London, and Chicago were the critical markets. Rather than government regulation, it was the diffusion of improved communications and transport that shaped those markets. The mid-19th century business press dubbed it the revolution of "steam and electricity," their shorthand for the diffusion of more and better steamboats and railroads, telegraph lines and transoceanic cables. These innovations changed the speed, scale, and nature of risks in commercial transactions.

  • American Farming and the International Wheat Market, 1880–1920
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Columbia University Academic Commons Casting Bread Upon the Waters: American Farming and the International Wheat Market, 1880–1920 Adina Popescu Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2013 Adina Popescu All rights reserved ABSTRACT Casting Bread Upon the Waters: American Farming and the International Wheat Market, 1880–1920 Adina Popescu In the late 19th and early 20th century, as wheat production and marketing were transformed in scale and in practice, American farmers tried to make sense of how they were positioned within a rapidly growing and changing international market. They tried to formulate a response that would gain them some sense of control over a market that was described by some as vast and powerful as nature itself, and by others as a playground for the wealthy speculators who supposedly controlled it. By situating the farmers within the changing international grain market this thesis explains the challenges that they were up against. American farmers understood their plight through narratives of market failure, common enough during the agricultural depression of the 1890s, as well as in the first decade of the twentieth century: declining prices, distant famines, and attempts to corner the wheat market reinforced the notion that supply and demand were not working “properly” to produce prosperity for all. During the Populist period, farmers organized to demand relief, in the form of government intervention, from what they perceived as a predatory market system that guaranteed profits to speculators but usually left producers with little to show for their labor.

  • The Hopi People and Drought
    THE HOPI PEOPLE AND DROUGHT: OBSERVATIONS, ADAPTATIONS, AND STEWARDSHIP IN A SACRED LAND by Elizabeth Kennedy Rhoades A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, MD September 2013 © 2013 Elizabeth Kennedy Rhoades All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Background: The American Southwest is experiencing a prolonged drought, which climate projections indicate will worsen in severity in the upcoming decades. Native communities in the region, including the Hopi Tribe, are particularly hard-hit by drought, as their cultural practices and traditional food sources are tied to the land. Yet the same factors that contribute to disparate impacts on Native communities are also the reason why these communities are often more aware of ecological change than those living in urban environments. The Hopi practice dry farming of corn, a method that relies exclusively on precipitation and runoff rather than irrigation. However, farming and other aspects of traditional Hopi life have been endangered by drought. Purpose: In partnership with the Tribe, this research sought to understand Hopi tribal members’ explanations for the causes of drought, to catalog Hopi people’s observations of drought, to describe the negative impacts of drought, and to document current and proposed adaptation strategies for lessening those impacts. This study is the first to explore climate-related public health impacts among an American Indian population in the Southwest. Method: Over nine weeks, I conducted 35 in-depth interviews with Hopi elders, government employees, farmers, gardeners, ranchers and others on the topic of drought. Interviews were supplemented with site visits, observations of community meetings, and collection of relevant documents.
