The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1878-11-21

Hoes are now selling in the Cincinnati
market at So 40 to So, 9,OOper 100 lbs gross,
The Gazette says this is the lowest price
paid within the last twenty. eight years,
with the exception of 1851 and 1862,
The depression in the latter year was
caused by the panic following the out
break of the rebellion. During the hard
times between lS55.58 hogs were higher
than they are now. The Gazette com
ments on these facts as follows
The question now is whether the price
of pork has struck bottom. This IS a
proposition for those engaged in the bu'
siness to discuss. The fact that farmers
are freer sellers than when prices ruled
high, while buyers are more disposed to
hold of, show the extent of the demor'
alization in business One thing is Ger.
tain, there is not much profit in feeding
hogs, Notwithstanding the large crop of
corn. This may not affect the market
this year, but it ultimately will. An.
other thing equally certain is an inCreas-
ed consumption induced by low prices
Another point is that it requires two
thirds less money to handle hogs than
in 1868. This latter is a nut for imitation
lists, who are talking about scarcity of
money, to crack. If the price of hogs
were governed by the volume of money
outstanding, they ought to sell to-day
for So instead of So. Money is not ev.
erything, even in trade.

A FARMER FLEEoED.

A German farmer from Minnesota, on
his way to Europe with his family, was
swindled by two confidence men out OF
$500 on a Pennsylvania railroad tram
between Mifllintown and Harrisburgh'
One confidence man was approached by
his accomplice, who claimed to be an
Express agent, and informed him that II
he did not fork over $500 for goods car
ried, he would detain at Harrisburgh the
car containing them The person ad'
dressed said he had nothing but drafts,
and turning to the farmer, asked him to
loan him the amount, prctlerlng drafts
representing to be worth over $l 5OO as
security. The German fell into the trap.
Soon afterwards the bogus Express agent
disappeared from the train with the
money. At Marysvlle the other con-
tidence man jumped off the train while
it was moving at the rate of thirty miles
an hour, and sustained serious injuries
and he is now in the Harrieburgh hos
pial. On his person were found only
$2 in good money, and seven coins IN
imitation of $40 gold pieces.

MEXICAN
Mustang Liniment,
FOR MAN AND BEAST.

This1Inlment very naturally originated in Ameri'
ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such
surprising antidotes for the maladies of her chill
dren. Its fame has been spreading for years,
until now 1t encircles the habltable globe.
The Mexican Mustang Llnlment is a matchless
remedy for all external ailments of man and beast.
To stock owners and farmers 1t Is invaluable.
A single bottle often saves o human life or re-
stores the usefulness Of an excellent horse, OK,
COW, or sheep.
It cures foot.rot, hoof-ail, hollow horn, grub,
screw.worm, shoulder.rot, mango, the bites and
sings of poisonous reptiles and insects and every
such drawback to stock breeding and bush life.
1t cures every external trouble Of horses, such
as lameness, scratches, swinny, sprains, founder,
wind.gall rlng-bone, ETC., etc.
The Mexican Mustang Liniment Is the quickest
cure in tho world for accidents occurring in the
family, in the absence Of physician, such as
burns, scalds, sprans, cuts, ETC., and for rheuma-
tlsm, and stiffness engendered by exposure. Par
ticularly valuable to Miners.
1t Is the cheapest remedy in the world, for 1t
penetrates the muscle to the bone, and single
application is generally sufficient to cure.
Mexican Mustang Liniment is put up In three
sizes of bottles, the larger ones being proportion
ately much the cheapest. Sold everywhere.
