No More Green Goods.

At a recent meeting of the democratic
leaders in Lansing it was resolved TO call off
the ''clerks" in the state Offices who had Or
ganized literary bureau, and were sending
out such matter as was reactlng upon the
party and making laughing stock of their
productions. Hereafter all such must pass
the scrutiny of the state central committee.
This is doubtless proper move, it however
reflects somewhat on the democratic press
throughout the state, since these leaders of
public opinion do not seem to have been
discriminating enough to discern ''green
goods" from more proper contributions.
Even Re Form, the chief scribe, now
has to submit his writings to scrutiny,
yet scarce one week ago he was Boosting of
his ability and making comparisons of his
greatness. 1t would seem in the case
of the bureaus productions that both
proprietor and publisher had been regarded
as ''fresh." A little judicious supervision
on the part of Campau, Dickinson and
others of the party is necessary now and
for party discipline and also to prevent a
harvest Of whirlwind from the too great
sowing of wind.

Wages Earned and Living Charges On

Wages Earned and Living Charges One
Hundred Years Ago.
New York Tribune
The Department. OF Agriculture is about
to publish m interesting report comparing
the cost of living early in this century with
what it is now. 1t exhibits vividly the
contrast between the poverty or primitive
agriculture and the progress In civilization
and wealth resulting from high develop
ment of all the possibilities OF land ana
labor in rural and industrial arts and in
dustries. The small wages paid in those
days are as surprising as the low prices Of
commodities of all Sorts
Game was abundant early in the century
and therefore cheap: Venison cost only
GIG cents q pound. Bear meat was very
slightly higher. Pigeons were IN extraor-
binary abundance. selling at a little more
than cent apiece. Elderly readers will
remember the flights of tlocks of pigeons
which darkened the skies even as late as
fifty years ago. Shad were very cheap
costing only 4 cents each. Owing TO the
plentiful supply of game tanned skins were
low In price. A deer-skin fetched about
SLIT. while bear skin was worth from 81
to 81. Milk cold for cents quart and
butter for 13 cents pound: Apples were
from 12ls cents to % cents bushel, but by
1928 they had reached 50 cents.
Farm wages were only about one-tbird of
what they are now, ranging from 81 to 80

of labor and invention of la6or-savinR pro-
cesses and appliances. Prices of farm prod
ucts fluctuated greatly. according to local
scarcity, which could not be mitlgated by
distribution from regions of plenty. If
there were big crops they conld not be sold;
if partial failures there was almost nothing
to sell.
Every loo alitv. in it's industries and prod
nets, existed for and by itself, having no
relation with other communities; therefore
the surplus production of each farm was
small, the inducements to produce being
wanting. and there was very little money
to purchase any thing more than the bare

caused by the retirement of Judge Blod-
