CHEAP PRODUCTS And PROSPERITY

The depression in prices of important
products excites much comment The de-
dine in wheat and corn, though a natural
result Of most favorable reports as to the
growing crops, when supplies on hand are
remarkably large, is almost without precedent at
this season of the year. and therefore to specu-
latOrs who do not reason much the more sur
prising The decline in oil. natural result of
the opening of what appears new and large
deposit, was at first attributed in some dispatches
to a desire of the Standard Oil Company to
crush single firm of operators. SO each set Of
spectators is prone to suppose that the whole
world moves with special regard to his inter
ess, as the fly on the coach wheel imagncs that
he moves the coach. But the influence of a
mischevous excess of speculation is nevrrthe
less felt in the depression of prices, though not
in the way the operators tlatter themselves.
The general average Of prices is nearly or
quite as low as it was in August last year, when
the lowest point on record was reached. In
erery speculative market, lower prices have
been seen than those now current, but the
general average of all prices is a different
matter. Wheat is called very cheap at SGl2
cents, but it sold at less than 50 cents late in
average for the month of June was nearly 10
cents lower four years ago. Iron is cheap at
SIS. but it sold for SIG 30 in 1873. To some
persons these extreme low prices are disastrous,
but the people as a whole do not gricve because
they get needed supplies at a low cost. 1t is
especially worthy OF note that the low prices
which now prevail are not due to stagnation in
business or shrinkage in home consumption.
Iron is but little above the lowest price on
record, but the weekly production is believed
to be the largest ever known. Coal Is cheap,
but the output and consumption this ycaI thus
far are the largest ever known OIL is cheap,
but not because of any decline in consumption,
which is very large, while the exports also are
larger than those of last year. Wheat con-
sumption has not been checked; on the
contrary, the remarkably low price OF flour has
doubtless stimulated consumption at home,
and the recent purcha: es for Europe have
been large
Products generally are cheapened by the
increase OF production and by the great de-
crease in the cost of transportation and handling.
| Every process between the farmer and the final
consumer, between the oil'well and the lighted
home, between the dark shaft from which the
iron ore is brought and the mills and {. f.ctorics
which work finished iron or steel int forms for
use, has been reduced in cost within the past
few years. \ depression of that sort, not due
to or accompanied by decrease in consumption
is evidence of the Nations progress toward
greater prosperity. Some depression of indus.

and Evans and Winter attempted to frame the
kind of report so evidently demanded OF them
We await with interest any explanation which
may be made by the Navy Department OF the
concealment until now of the two telegrams
from Commodore Belknap. Unless IL Is
furnished the public may reasonably be con-
firmcd in the belief that the new Administra-
ton made wiful and persistent warfare upon
the Dolphin, condemned her without evidence
and against evidence and then bent every
energy. and resorted TO every available means,
fair or foul, to prove true and justify its con-
demnation. We do not envy Mr.. Whitney If
the four additional ships which he is designing
and may possibly venture to build are to Dc
dealt with as he has treated the Dolphin.

is the mcst important point that mas oeeh

proposed that the local assembly must reior
the matter to the Executive Board OF the di'-
