Letter From Iowa.

SAC CITY, Iowa, Sept. 80, 1884.
EDITOR TRANSCRIPT Being detained
here on business thought would spend
few of my leisure moments writing a
few lines descriptive of this city and its
surroundings. The city is located in
jackson township, in the western part Of
Sac county. on Coon river, and is some.
what north east from the center of the
county, and about 100 miles west from
Marshalltown on branch of the Chi
cago g. Northwestern r. R. It has two
daily mails from the cast, and one from
the north. The principal part of the
business houses are located about ! mile
east from the depot, ON much lower
portunity for water works, which are
being put in operation by a Chicago Co.
There is daily stage line between here
and Newell, q station on the Illinois
Central r. r., Is miles distant north of
this city. There is a public school build
here some larger on the ground than the
one at Austin, but not so expensive in
appearance: The courthouse here is a
very good one, but Mower county court
house s'lets them all down" that I have
seen yet.
There are three or four brick blocks,
but the most of the business houses are
small, low wood buildings. Tic resi-
dences are somewhat scattered and small,
yet there arc some very fine ones with
large nicely kept lawns. Among the
NEST prominent is one. owned and occu-
pied by Judge Early, one of the Blaine
electors from this state
The streets are very uneven and many
quite steep hills are to be met with while
passing through the city.
This, you know, is one of the many
prohibition towns to he found in the
state. The boys don't get full of whisky,
bcer, belzine, and such old out of date
drinks here the way they do in Austin,
but they get full Of Something which makes
them appear the same as a man full
of Minnesota forty rod" They call it
here full of prohibition" but think it
must be good deal mixed, that IS a good
deal of outraged prohibition law,
mixed with a much greater quantity of
besotted city officials, for don't think
people could get drunk on prohibition if
they would take it straight, and more
especially if the city officers who have the
affairs in charge breathed a good healthy
whisky breath, but so long as
the people will support such parties for
office SO long they may expect the laws,
no matter how good, dlsregarded and
outraged.
There are about 1900 inhabitants in
this city; great many of them are
eastern people, and as class seem to he
quiet, honest people. There is cream
cry, grist mill, Methodist and Presby
terrain church, and denomination of
Advents. Yours truly.

THE STATE OF BUSINESS.

Notwithstanding the general complaint
of business depression, the ordinary
amount Of business in the regular chan
nels is beng transacted. The sales of
clothing, dry goods, boots and shoes,
hardware, groceries, and other staples are
just as great as usual and the collections
are fully as closely made. The profits
may not be as great as in former years,
but there is the usual demand for the
goods that are consumed in the ordinary
channels of trade. There is every reason
why this should be so. There are just as
many people to be fed and clothed as ever;
the crops are good and money is easy and
plenty. 1t will thus be seen that all the
conditions of steady, reliable everyday
business exist.
The real business depression appears to
be confined to two branches, one of which
is legitimate and the other speculative.
Owing to the fact that the railway build
ing has been largely curtailed, the iron
business, with the collateral coal and coke
industries, is laboring under serious de-
preston, the duration of which cannot
be foresecn as yet. That it will last for
some time is quite certain, however, as
railway construction has been stimulated
ND to the full demand and must wait the
further growth and development IF the
country before another boom in this i'm
portant industry can be expected. The
other interest which is languishing is that
of speculation III stocks, grain and other
staples, and the longer that interest Ian
guishes the better for the prosperity OF
the general public. The speculative craze
creates Artificial values, makes men dis
honest and dcmoralizes trade generally,
and if it was killed past al hope of res
direction it would be all the better for the
country at large.
Whatever of overproduction there is
IN the line of manufactured fabrics fol
general use is production beyond the
steady wants of the country and must be
curtailed either voluntarily or by the mex
orablc law which always adjusts the rcla
tions of supply to demand. II men will
insist on extending the manufacturing
capacity of the country beyond the capa
city of consumption, oversupply must be
the result, but this oversupply does not in
dictate a legitimate business depression
such as might occur from scarcity OF
money or short crops. Itsimply indicates
that the surplus energy Of the country i!
misdirectcd
There is nothing in the general business
situation that should be discouraging
The wants of humanity continue thu
same as ever and must Ee supplied. Thu
capacity to supply those wants is con
stantly increasing through Improvement
in machinery, and men must learn to b
