Decline i'm Prices.

In the last twenty four years the
price of nearly every article of food
in common use has declined fifty
per cent. The year just ended has
witnessed a fall of eleven per cent
alone. Flour, in 1870 worth six
and seven dollars, is now a glut on
the market at one-third the price.
AS the cost of production has GER
tainly not kept pace with this
steady decline, the loss to the pro
ducer represents a most serious
feature in the economic situation of
the country. The reports of largely
increased crops in the Argentine
Republic, in Europe, and in our
own country give little hope of
better prices for long time to
come.
But while wheat has been the
most strongly effected of food pro-
ducts, the tendency to lower prices
has been universal. A glance
through a table showing compare
tive values in 1870 and in 1894 is
almost startling, the greatest sur
prise being the change since 1898.
AS previously stated the twelve
months decline has been eleven
per cent. In other words, one dol
lar to-day is worth $1.11 as come
pared with year ago, and $3.50
and $1.75, if based on 1870 prices.
This makes plain the fact that the
man whose income has not declined
in twelve month is better off inan-
cially than he was at the same time
last year, taking into consideration
the purchasing pOwerof his money.
The Financiel.
Let it be constantly borne in
mind that fall of 335 per cent in
the price of property means a rise
in money of 80 per cent. Debts
and interest do not fall but rise.
Mortgages and other debts created
only last year are worth IL per cent
more this year than when they
were created, and such debts en-
tered into several years ago are now
worth 80 per cent more than when
incurred. This system of finance is
so evidently unjust on its face that
no argument is needed to make it
more plain.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1894-08-24
Tariff and Business.

The price of a barrel of flour on
the farm to-day is the price of
twelve bushels of wheat the nor
NAL price of a barrel of flour is the
price Of five bushels of wheat, for
twelve bushels of wheat after the
legal toll comes out will make two
and a-quarter barrels of flour. 1t
costs the farm price of one bushel
of wheat to market four bushels, or
about 80 per cent of the crop, after
it is delivered to transportation. In
the face of such conditions as to the
production of the prime necessities
of life, does any sane man, does any
crazy man in a partially lucid in
tnrval, belive that the passage of a
tariff bill of any sort is going to
start business Mat. Waterman.

Give Us Work.

Fifth men were wanted to do a

Chicago, five thousand assembled

"Give us work, give us work ~
The police dubbed them away.

cannot much longer run in this
groove till something smashes.
Their only two known remedies
have been tried total demonetiza-

tariff, and both have failed. The
old parties are at the end of their
string.

Nineteen Reasons.

The nineteen reasons stated by
Hon. Tom Watson for government
control of railroads, published on
first page, should be carefully con-
sidered by every reader. This
question will in the near future be

their action, and should be under
stood to insure intelligent action.

The Populists have nominated

The POpulists have nominated
candidates for congress in the First,
Fifth and Sixth districts of Mary
land. In the Sixth district the
party is reported to be very strong,
so strong in fact that they have
hopes of electing their candidate,
Mr.. Horace Resley, who is one OF
the most popular men in his dis
trict, and has been elected several
times to important offices, never
having been beaten when a candi-
date before the people.
There will be a nomination made
soon in the second district, and the
indications are that large POpu-
list vote will be pOlled. The new
party is receiving aid from an
unexpected quarter in this county.
The Cecil Wing has commenced
Safeguarding it, and there is a
county proverb that whatever
Torbert whites must have good in,
and whatever he praises had better
be watched closely, for it is apt to
have the smell of birthstone about it.

"Free CompetitiOn."

The St. Louis Single Ta4 Courier in
combating the position taken by all ex-
change that free competition results in
trusts, combinations and monopoly, says:
Competition is not free when men are
not free to use the earth without paying
tribute to some monopolizer All the
objections to competition are based on the
assumption that present competition is
free. 1t is not nor can it be until the land
is freed by the single tax"
For the sake of the argument admit
that competition is not free on account of
the single tax not being our system of
