THE CAUSE OF HARD TIMES.

The following is clipping from the
Detroit Free Press of last week. 1t is
worthy the careful study of the entire
nation, not of particular political part
les, but of all parties and classes, for il
is asSutedly question that affects all
alike. The prevailing depression in
| American agriculture is treated by
Statistician j. II. Dodge in the March
report ~ the Department of Agricul-
ture. The prevalence of low prices $
noted, and Il feeling of encouragement
/ rural districts throughout the world
Is indicated. 1t is and has been especi-
| ally severe in Great Britain, and is the
| subject Of complaint, discussion and Of
| licial investigation in Germany, France.
| Italy and other countries. 1t is present
| IN monarchieS and republics under di-
verse currencies and economic systems.
But 1t is less severe here than in other
countries Though prices of imple-
ments, utensils and fabrics are also low,
the farmers interest account is unre-
duced and his mortgage harder to lift.
The main cause of low prices is referred
TO the memorable law of supply and de-
mand. Corn and wheat and other stap-
ies are cheap because of over produc-
population 0.0O0.000i in ten wears. Inter-
continental areas have b u carved in
farms, tree to natives aud foreigners
opening millions of acres to cultivation.
Railroad extension has stimulated pro-
duction and overwhelmed the east with
western products.
Mr.. Dodge says while there is excess
of production of a few staples like
wheat, etc. there are insufficient sup
plies of many other necessary products.
and a total absence of scores of others
which should furnish profitable employ
ment to rural labor. There is too mar
row a range of cropping Diversified
ZION is essential TO agricultural saliva
ton There are imports costing S2i0.-
100000 per annum Of agricultural pro-
ducts which should be produced here.
There are sugar, animals and their pro-
ducts, fiDers, fruits and nuts, barley,
leaf tobacco and wines. Farmers are
suffering for want of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars that the sweat of brOws
and dexterity of hands might produce
in "raw materials" for scores of old and
new industries.
Another serious cause of depression,
he says, is the exorbitant share of the
farmers profits taken by the middle
men and carriers. The army of dealers
in futures disturb the natural flow of
trade, check expectation by tempo
rary rise, to be followed by lower pric-
es and greater fluctuations. Specula-
tors depress prices when gamers are
full and boom them when farmers have
nothing to sell, as at present. The com
munity is infested with pestilent
swarms of non-producers. The curse
Of speculation bllghts and consumes
the result of honest industry.

LANSING, March 24.-An audience
that packed Bucks Opera House was
addressed last night by Justice Grant of
the Supreme Court, on the duties of cir
cult judges and sheriffs and police Off
GERS in the suppression of crime.
1t was formerly held. said the Judge.
that Circuit Court Judge did his full
duty if he sat like wise owl upon a
bough. passed upon the cases sent be-
fore him, and then went home. A Sec
ton of the general statutes Of Michigan
provides that grand juries shall be
drawn when Circuit Judge so directs
This provision is not kept upon the
statute books for mere form. When
shall a Judge use the power thus vested
in him? When crime is done and no
one attempts to bring the offender to
| justice. Judge Grant had threatened
to use this power twice, and once, when
he found total disregard of the liquor
law, he did use it. The result was
twenty-five indictments.
In abiding to the duty of officers. the
Judge said that the citizen cannot go
out and find out who it is that has COM
mitted crime. He hasn't time, and it
entails a risk he Is not called upon to

the law never fills his place. The officer
may be killed, but the law does not die,
and straightway it puts another officer
in his place. The sheriff and his depu-
ties, the city chief of police and his Off
GERS are paid to enforce the law. 1t is
their duty to see who is offending, to
get out warrants and cause the arrest.
Let murder or rape be committed and
every officer will run his boots off try
ing to find the offender. Only three
classes of crimes are neglected by the
officers. When it comes to offenses in
houses of ill-fame, saloons and gaming
places, the officers say: Every well,
you go and make the complaint. cause
a warrant to be issued and | will arrest
the offender" Where does the officer
get his right or authority to draw dis
tinctiOn between one crime and an
other? He has none.

Thoughts of Spring.

In the spring time the thought of care
full housekeepers naturally drifts to the
subject of - Frightening Up" their
households. Its the particular season
when nature girdles on the robes of
freshness and in the radiance of her new
dress presents a fitting example for
thrifty housewives to follow in her foot
steps. If you want a carpet or mating
this spring you should come to see us.
We have lovely variety of both, and
our sales in those goods are double what
they were last spring ,-this certainly
shows that we made good selections in
our patterns and that our prices are
right. Our line of Lace and Silk Cur
tains is simply lovely-you should come
and see some of our new Window Drap-
cry. Don't forget that we keep full
line of floor and hall oilcloth, Linoleum
etc. We will cut your oilcloth to fit
your hall, also cut, make and lay your
carpet, at the least possible expense.
In closing we would like to say that
our carpet department is no side issue
with us, it is one of the main stays to our
business and we work harder day by day
to keep everything the market affords in
the carpet line. EMMEIT & FIFRY.

METHoDs.-The methods of the as

Meeting together and becoming bet

business methods take wider range

he higher price for the produce raised

that must be purchased.
The political methods are strictly
non. partisan, and must ever remain
so, because every candidate before
taking the pledge, is assured that II
will in no way conflict with his polit-
ical or religious views. All political
parties are represented in their ranks
