He will plunge into any muddy ditch

awhile, will throw his prize away.

0YER.PRODUUTIONN.
A GrecIan Fable and It's Apple
tiOn.

A GreelAn Fable and HIS Apph'
tiOn.
fE1.Edltor In Philadelphia 1nqulrer.l
"You have over.produced," say certain
gentlemen Of the old school.
"over.produced," some poor man an
swers, "What does that mean|
"Why II means that you have bnllt 700
many houses, raised too much corn ana
wheat, made too much cloth, raised anu
made in fact too much Of everything. ~
one word you have been too industrious. q.
@Curious, is it not 2" the poor man re-
plies. ave have built so many houses
that we have none TO live in; at least, we
fear we shall be turned out Of them Tor
Inability TO pay the rent. We have
ra;SoJ AZ much corn and wheat that We
have nothing TO eat. We have made so
many clothes that we have nothing 10
~"nr. an many shoes that we shall have
W 90 barefoot. We have been too indus
trious, and the penalty is that we must
be put on short allowance"
Men and brethren, is 1t not curious
that any sane man can find fault with
men for being too industrious, and thu
producing too much
What l. over production? Over pro-
duction is, in ono word, wealth? The
wealth OF country consists in the excess
OF production beyond its immediate
wants.
Il wealth a bad thing7 Certainly no
individual complains Of It. Why, then,
Hhould IL be bad for a Nation?
Suppose we were TO come across
passage OF this kind, in reading our an.
cient history:
"Greece, at this time, was suffering un-
der grievous blight-trade was stagnant,
industry depressed, and the artisan class
unemployed whereupon the priests were
instructed 10 put up solemn prayer 10
Jupiter, in all the temples, as follows:
dan powerful Jupiter, we, thy child.
rem OF Athens, Sparta, and the other
States OF Greece, are grieyously per.
picked and troubled. We have, thanks
10 thee, plenty OF houses to live In; we
have M abundance Of wheat and rice and
vegetables for food; we have even more
than we need OF flax and wool for the
purposes OF clothing. In fact, this abund:
ancc Of everything is the great cause OF
our distress; for, as our wise men tell US,
it is owing to this very abundance OF food
and clothing that tens OF thousands among
us are in danger OF starving and going
naked, We beg thee, therefore, y Jupi.
ter, 10 send famine and storms and whirl.
winds upon the land, that we may be
able once more to feed and clothe our
people,"
Would not such prayer rs that sound
very strange in our ancient history? And
yet what Is there more unreasonable in il
than in much We hear every day?
Oyer-production! Too industrious
II that be the best explanation political
economy has TO give, then it seems TO US
that political economy is neither very
wise nor a very righteous thing.

SroCKS-Speculation on Stock Exchange
opcned quiet. but subsequently firm tone
prevailed, but after the first Board the
market became greatly depressed and there
was a pressure to sell shares Of some Of the
trunk lines, notably Michigan Central and
Lake shore, and finally the whole list gave
way In sympathy. The occasion Of this de-
preston in railway shares was the meeting
81 prominent railroad officials at Chicago,
which resulted in q reduction in the rates
on East.bound freights. On the Stock Ex'
change this was accented as meaning
another railroad war, and hence the bearish
feeling which prevailed. The greatest de-
cline was In Michigan Central, which de-
clined from 5SA to 66H. Lake shore fol.
lowed with decline from 6SX to 56M.
Erie was heavy and declined from IS to
1881, an additional influence against this
stock being o decline OF London and ru-
