POETIC JUSTICE.

The contraction party fell with
direSt effect on the poor farmers of
the west and south. They first felt
its whitening blows. The cOnse-
qnence was that they began to
howl calamity fifteen years ago
and to hunt for relief in various
organizations snch as the graDgerS,
farmers alliance, etc. These farm
ers, who were trying to solve the
problem of hard times and to drive
stalk want from their doors were
hooted at and dcrided by their city
neighbors who had not experienced
the terrors of contraction. The
merchants, doctors, lawyers, me-
chanics not only refused to join
the farmers in a crusade against
plutOcratic encrOachments, but
denounced their efforts and doubt
ed and denied that their woes were
real.
AT last this has changed. In
compliance with economic law, the
evils of contraction have progress
ed from Tie country to tile town.
from the producer to the trades
man and the consumer and to-day
the commercial and professional
classes are the greatest calamity
hOwlers in the land. Hard times
are pressing heaviest in the towns.
In the meantime, the farmers,
after ten years struggle to combat
the evils of contraction and finding
it impossible to live under normal
conditions of trade and exchange
have determined as a last resort,
to return to first principles and
live at Eome. Working Oh this
primeval plan, they have attained
a condition Of independence and
self support which relieves them
from the power of the merciless
eontractionist. Living practically
without the use of money they can
not be enslaved by the gold Lug.
But the men who abused and
deiidcd the farmers have taken
their places in the tread mill and
it is hard to see how we tOwn-peO-
pie are to escape on the selfsup-

roads to be Merciful.

Wheat selling for 10 cents a
buslel! Think of it! the mainstay
eff maEkind's existance, that from
which comes the staff of life, sell
ing for the paltry sum flo cents a
bushel! 1t is almost beyond be-
lief.
To Tie PalOuse county it is a
terrible calamity. To our finan-
cial interests il is almost as bad as
u fetal loss Of the crop. AT this
price the cost of harvesting will
consume the entire proceeds.
The average cost of harvesting q
twenty-five bushel to the acre crop
is Is cents a busbel. Six cents to
cut it, 81 cents to thrash it, 4 cents
tosack it, and y cents to haul it
to market, making u totsl of IS
cents, to say nething of warehouse
charges. Where is the farmers
pay for the long hard days spent
in seedinai
And where is his tax and inter-
est money and store bills to come
from.
A rise in the market is hoped
for, but at present all eyes are
turned toward the railroad compa-
mics for relief. They are not get
ting almost as much for hauling

as the farmer gets for raising it.
IL may be that the profits are not

A N~orth-sider of n musical turf OF
mind was starting down town recently
when the strains Of a hand organ
played by an Italian across the street
reached his ear. He recognized the
music as a popular aria from "Semira-
mide." The harmony was perfect and
the impresario at the crank was con-
Quoting the performance with excellent
Judgment as to tempo.
Startled at hearing music OF such a
class from the much abused hand organ
the North side citizen stopped and lis
tened. The organist finished the aria,
| made some change in the interior ad-
| justment of the machine and started it
again. The selection this time was from
~"Lohengrin," and the performance was
equally good.
When the music ceased the listener
crossed the street, took a coin from his
pocket, gave it to the organ grinder
and said:
ado you understand English?"
"Yeh," replied the im~presario. pocket
ing the coin and grinning de~lightedIy.
Then want you to play that last
piece again"
The ~organist grasped the handle of
his machine, turned it with renewed
vigor, and the suffering atmosphere for
blocks around vibrated with the ago
nizing strains of After the Ball.
