Another Example.

A farmer in Michigan sold his farm
of 100 acres in 1864 for 500 per
acre-nOt an travagant price 1T
that time and received $4,000, of
United States bonds, lear NC 6 per
cent interest in coin. These bonds
furnished an income Of 5000 per an
mum, and left him free to dispose OF
his own labor as ne saw fit. His la
Dor, together with his income from the
b nds, supported his family without
adding TO or taking from the original
amount received as proceeds from the
sale of the farm. In 1873 the 5 per
cent bonds were exchanged for 4 per
cents due in 1907. AT present rates
Of premium his bonds are worth sl2,-
800. How is it with the purchaser of
the farm? For the first two years the
business paid him profit, but since
1873 his profits have been less, until
a state of positive loss has been reached.
AS it now stands, he is an old man;
his best energies gone. His farm is
less fertile, his building old and wea-
ther-beaten. He has no more stock
than when he began, and the farm
that cost him SO, 900, 26 years ago,
upon which he expected to labor all
the best years of his life, can not be
sold for $4,000. But the money with
which it was purchased has increased
in its power over values until it will
now buy more than three just such
farms. Is there not something beyond
free trade or protective tariff in this
example. Economist.

Now comes the season of the year
when the man of the house hies HIM
self to the hardware store buys hoe,
a shovel and sprinkler. Then he
goes to his grocer and leaves an order
for a couple of packages of every kind
of SEED in the house from peas to
pumpkins. Then comes long siege
of a couple of hours of hard work each
morning and evening. superabund-
ance of back-ache and callous spots of
various sizes and degrees of health in
the palms of his hand. Eventually
comes the first sprouting and with it
the neighbors' chickens and an abrupt
breaking off of friendly relations be.
tween yourself and all the balance of
the residents of the block, who have q
penehant for raising chickens and
sheol. Then follows war between
the children, a scene between. irate
females, ten-foot high board fence
and law suit. The head of the
house swears solemn oath that he
will never make a garden rs long as
he lives. And next year? Why,
next year the same performance is
gone through with, with new special
ties aud scenery.
Is this not your experience, too?
