The Premises of Political Economy
Being determination of Certain
fundamental Principles of Economic
Science. BY SIMON n. PATTEy,
> Phi. ID. (Halle.) Philadelphia J. B.
Lippincott Company. 1885. Price,
$3.50.
The study of political economy is the
most important and interesting OF
studies. This book attempts to show
that the main causes of rent and Of the
increased price of agricultural produce
are not Of physical but of social
nature. 1.-The prevalence of ignorance
and lack of appreciation of inexclu-
sive pleasures, cause demand for CON-
modities Of which nature can supply
but small quantities, waste large part
of what is produced, and at the same
time preventive distribution of popu-
lation and the increase Of capital. The
ignorant and inefficient classes displace
the skilled and intelligent because their
wants are so limited that they are able
to give greater surplus as rent than the
higher classes can do, and whatever
class can give the greater surplus gets
possession OF the field of employment.
and thus the survival Of other classes is
prevented" These are gloomy doc
trines. They explain why the Chinese
can drive out better people. If these
teachings are true, the world must be-
come worse and worse as it grows
older, and the commanity consist of

4 Case That Has Bafiied the PosiC1lcc In
sptctOrs al Last Cleared ~,
Philadelphia Times.l

- iiihA'ifAiAd iiAitNs
More than a year ago.John Marshall,
Of 2453 Perot street. had as boarder
an EngliShman named John Lyons.
The two men became very intimate and
told each other their personal histories.
Lyons said that he had come from Lam
cashire. England, where he had an I'M
married sister living, named Mary. He
then recOunted the difficulties he had un-
dergone in obtaining employment in the
United States. especially in Phladel-
phia, and said that he had determined
to 90 to New England. Soon after he
went to Lowell. Mass. Several weeks
after Lyons's departure Marshall wrote
10 his sister in England. declaring that
her brother was in great distress AMI
that he had no work, and offering to
forward to him any money she might
send. The sister managed to get to-
gcther e5, which she Immediately sent
by poSt-Oilice order to Marshall, i'm
ploring him to send it to her brothOr as
quickly as possible.
The letter arrived in March. 1891.
but instead Of forwarding the money
to Lyons Marshall kept it. lie sent,
however. letter to him at Lowell,
purpOrting 10 contain S24. When by
ons received the letter he az once in
formed United states Inspector Fields,
OF Boston. stating that he believed the
money had been stolen. He then
wrote to Marshall to the same
effect. Upon the receipt Of the
letter Marshall went Immediately
before United states Inspector Barrett,
of this city. and swOre that he had
placed $24 inside Of the envelope. He
even mentioned the kind of notes sent.
The inspectors were greatly puzzled,
and have been investigating the case
for year. Mary Lyons was commu-
nicated with, the correspondence be-
tween her and Marshall compared, and
various contradictory statements were
discovered. The post-oAicc authori-
ties at Washington then took hand.
and came to the conclusion several
weeks aso that the money was never
sent by MARSHALL.
Last week Inspector Barrett sum
moned Marshall to appear before him.
The next day he came ana made full
confession. lie broke down, said he
could not resist the temptation to keer
the money, and begged for mercy. lie
declared he would refund the money
and did so two days afterwards. Yes
terday morning he had hearing before
United States Commissioner Edmund:
and was held iu$j0O bail on the charges
Of perjury and violation Of the posta
/ laws.

British Minister there, has opened con-
sultation with his Government about

suppressed. He is an experienced di-
plomat, now sixty yearS old, and though
mild in manner is stern enough when
there is need. He lives in finer
palace than the Shah himself, with
finer grounds than the Royal gardens,
and he arrogates to himself the prlyi-
lege Of keeping peacocks. which is
allowed to no one else in Persia out

Shah hates him and the Prime Minister
is Jealous of him.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch. J
BRIsTOL-GOODsON, June 10, 1850.
The farmers are now having as favor
able season as could be desired for
the growing crops of corn, oats. and
grass, and the present outlook is most
promising for an abundant yield. A
large crop Of tobacco has been set out,
and is growing off finely. The wheat
crop has improved considerably since
the rains set in about the LIST Of June,
but the general impression is that not
more than half a crop will be harvest
ed. There never was finer. prospect
for fruit Of all kinds, and that will
greatly make up the loss in wheat.
notice in the papers accounts OF
the great scarcity Of provisions in
Southwest Virginia, and that corn is
selling at 81 per brshel. That is erro-
neous. 1t is true that times are rather
hard and provisions not as plentiful as
usual in that section, but it is not true
that there is suffering among the people
for the necessaries Of life. Corn can be
had at - cents per bushel and wheat
at 30 to 90 cents bacon at l2i cents,
and plenty to supply all the demands
Of the people at those prices.
