Rice will always be the principal crop
in this section. notwithstanding the low
price of this cereal when compared with
that of few years ago, our farmers are
not discouraged, aud the season Of 1894
will witness a considerable increase Of
acreage over any previous year. Rice
has not yet fallen nearly so low as has
wheat, comparatively speaking, There
is vet money in raising rice il proper
methods are pursued. The three great
requisites are early planting, proper prep
aration of the ground, and good seed

APublic Market House.

We heard expressions from a number
of prominent men favOring the renting
Of the market house built by Mess. JOLIET
& Gueble and sub-letting it to dealers.
How extensive this sentiment is, we do
not know, but it is a proposition worth
considering. 1t is only in this way that
meat shops, poultry dealers, ETC., which
should be under the direct supervision of
the city to prevent them from becoming
nuisanees, can be controlled. There
should be strict laws requiring the in
speetiOn of meats, vegetables, ETC., which
are offered for sale. No one now knows
what they are eating. Very few, we
think, would care to eat veal that was
less than five weeks old when killed, and
yet few days ago we saw the dressed
carcass of calf hanging in front of one
of the shops that had first seen the light
of day less than three weeks before.
Even worse cases than this are possible
where there is no supervision. One Of
the principal objects in having a city
market is to provide for the inspection
of the articles of diet that are liable to
become unfit for use, such as meats, veg
etables. fruits, ETC., and thus protect the
health of the community. The duty of
the inspector is also to see that all the
surroundings are healthful and cleanly
and that the air is not polluted by de-
caying animal and vegetable matter.
A city market with an inspector
and proper ordinances governing the
same is the only way this can be accom-
plished. In private market house this
is impossible. We have only spoken of
the matter from sanitary point of view
We believe also that city market could
be made to yield a good revenue if the
proper course was pursued. The columns
of the Echo are open to all who would
like to discuss this question either pro OF

A few days since we had the pleasure
of meeting Ex-MayOr Sloan, of Welsh.
He was not candidate for reelection,
and DR.. Cooper succeeds him. 1t was
given out before the election that the
question at issue was Ywet or dry" or in
other words, license or no license to sell
intoxicants. DR.. Sloan says this was not
the issue in fact, but as to whether the
people would have u right to vote upon
the proposition, and that the old council
and he, as mayor, were always willing,
and free to acknowledge this right. 1t
will take yet another election to decide
the question as to whether the council
will OF will not grant license.

And all in eight weeks time. In
doing this it is raising the wages OF
every working man and woman in the
land. That is the Democratic theory
Of the relation Of the tariff to wages. A
low tariff increases their purchasing
power. The supply and demand Tor
labor regulates them for one thing; the
productivity Of labor for another; and
trade organizations for another. The
tariff Is not in it, save to increase the
cost of living, and thereby decrease the
purchasing power of wages.
