OATS VS.. SUGAR.

While the bin of the farmer is al
ready full, and while prospects for
the seasons crops, as rule, ara
brighter than for years, the tillar of
the earth nevertheless feels de.
pressed and poor. In spite of the
dull times, however, that affect him
with others his lot Is better than it
was within recent years. The pr ce
of grain is lower than general, but
not lower than it has been. In 1876
or 1877, we forget which, wheat was
purchased by the car load at a figure
which the farmer would Indignantly
reject to-day. There was surplus
Of wheat in the market at
that date which has not been
known since. Yet the wheat
production increases annually,
while there is barely any export
whatsoever. The conclusion that
must result is: there is greater in
ternal demand and the price is con-
sequently kept up. 1t is true, con-
ditions could be much better for the
farmer; it is equally true they
could be iIcompsrably worse. The
merchant is a sufferer IN greater
degree than the farmer, for while
the products Of the farmer have de-
creased 10 per cent. in value in half
decade, the wages of the merchant
have decreased 80 per cent, SO that,
if it could only be made clear, the
general redemption has been any>
thing but an injury to the jaborer
and husbandman. To put it
practically: the price of oats has
materially decreased; the value of
ugsr, however, has decreased in
greater proportion. Six or seven
years ago the farmer would come
into town with 500 pounds Of oats
In his wagon, and would go home
with sack OF sugar in its place.
To-day the same farmer drives into
town over better roads, he has bet.
ter wagon, a finer quality of horse
flesh; in his wagon he has 800
pounds of oats. He drives up to the
store of his old friend, the mer-
chant, drops his soats, gets his 10C
pounds Of sugar, and rides home
with $l.50 besides in his pocket
This illustrates the relative decline
in the value Of farm products and
merchandise, and it also shows that
the merchant is much the greater
sufferer OF the. two. This is but one
Of a number of illustrations. We

A WORTHY son.

The late and lamented Jere s..
Black left sou Chauncy F. Black,
who is NJ aking himself the worthy
offspring of one of the grandest
fathers that America has produced
among the public men. Judge
B acK was democratic consistency
itself, aud ss pure in heart as he was
devoted TO principle; in his case
there was more in principle than
there is with too many Of our alleged
statesmen, with whom party and
principle are synonymous terms ;
with him the two were ever sepae
rate, principle teing greater than
party. The con who Is as purs a
Democrat as was his illustris
GUS parent, was the founder
of the Jeffersonian Democratic
Club of York, Pennsylvania, and
has just been elected its president
for the fourth time. To an address
congratulstiDg the members of the
cub On the growing tendency CT
Democrats "to study the fundamen-
tai principles as they were enunci-
ated and applied by the founder of
our party, until the teachings of
Jefferson, the great chief of the
strict construction school, have be-
come again the measure of demo-
cratic policy, the touchstone OF
democratic faith-the only ground
of ssfety and harmony" he made use
of the following language:
Will any body, that is anybody not
mad Federslist, contend that the tenth
amendment lie not the true and only rule
of construction? Will any Democrat
set up the general words of the preamble
against the specific grants in the body Of
the instrument? Certainly not; and 60
long as we hold to that rule, the Federal
government must remain what it was in.
tended to be, limited political agency;
confined to certain and defined duties,
and taking only 60 much money from
the pockets of the people as may be
necessary for their execution. What
would Mr.. Jefferson have thought of an
annual surplus Of between 81 900, 600 an
81, 900, 600. wrung from the weary hands
of labor, 10 maintain needless officials,
and to be scrambled for by a greedy
lobby? What would he have thought Of
a system of taxation framed with the
avowed object not of supplying the pub
lie necessaries, but of taking the earnings
of labor and adding them to the Sc
emulation Of capital?

ton for Jere Blacks character and
work will be pleased to learn that

ings of bis sire, and gives promise
of going in the direction POI ted out

strange that there isn't Grst-clsss
hotel in Salt Lake. The hotels here
would perhaps be equal to the oe.
mends of the town If the latter were
alone to be considered; that is to say,
the hotels are sufficient In size and
other resE ects for an inland city of
10000 inhabitants, the very large
majority of whom live in their own
homes and know nothing of hotel
life. But when We consider Salt
Lake as q chief point of attraction
on the continent, a resting place
for the traveller and an object of
interest to the tourist and eight
seer, our hotels are simply bur
lesques. The best Of them would
be second class in far less important
cities. II there is town in Amer
lea where really first-class house
would be appreciated and appro pri-
ate it is Salt Lake, which is never
without It's crowds OF strangers rich
enough to pay and willing to pay
for first class accommo dations, as
well as for "style," and who are
disappointed if they cannot get both
for their M 1ney. Denver may have
occasion for larger hotels than are
required here, but she doesn't re-
qGire better ones than are needed in
this city; yet the fr.t-named hat
several that are 60 far ahead of
ours in Every commendable respect
as TO make comparisons extremely
odious. The same is true of Omaha
and her hotels, and If it were not
for encouraging Ogden in its too
pronounced pride, we might be In
duced to repeat the remark with re-
ference to it.
The complaint is not against the
manner in which the local hotels
are managed or "kept;" the pro-
prietors and keepers evidently I'm
derstand their business, but we think
none of them will claim that his
house is first-class, as the term is
understood as applied to hotels.
Whether or not a commodious
hotel, modern in architecture, and
frst>class In it's appointments and
management, would prove profitable |
is a matter which capitalists must |
determine for themselves; but wise
men say no better opportunity for
paying investment pIesents itself in
this region, than the putting of big
money into big hotel in Salt Lake.
One thing, however, we may recon-
,iIe ourselves to, namely; that until
here is first class hotel here Salt
Lake will be growled about by
and strangers who would
otherwise go away sounding
praises of the beauty and enjoyable
less Of this growing inland metrop>
Ills.

excitement and indignation that was aroused
