Notwithstanding the high prices

the further fact that the price of
cotton was as,low as it was last
year, farmers, merchants, and
men of all classes, who had energy
and used economy, not onl, had au
abundance of everything but many
grew rich. And why? Because
everything that the farm could
produce was raised at home and
the cotton crop was the surplus
crop. III this old book we find no
record of where the merchant ever
sold a bushel of meal, corn or OATS
or a pound of bacon or lard. The
farmers in those good old days
sold such things to the merchants.
Let the people adopt the methods
adhered to and practiced by their
fathers; raise all their meat, lard,

THEN AND NOW.
~rFarmerville Gazette.l

1t is contended by many people
that the financial legislation of
1873 has caused the price Of
farm products to decline and thus
has produced hard times; that
flush conditions will accompany
the free coinage of silver. These
conditions are not justified by the
history of the past.
The free coinage Of silver exist
ed in this country in l845, aud
that year, instead Of the prices of
farm products being high they
we're even lower than they are now.
We have in our possession a mer-
camille book of a firm that did bus
mess in this town in the good old
days Of "free silver" when the
''money of the constitution" "the
money of the people" had equal
recognition at the mints with gold.
In this old dusty history we notice
that cotton sold in this market at
about II cents per pound. On one
page of the book two bales of cot.
ton, and heavy bales were made in
those days aud the staple was usu.

is recorded as selling at the low
price Of $43.05.
The same year all the articles
usually kept in the stores yer ex-
traordinarily high as compared
with the prices prevailing now.
People complaining now of tight
times don't really know what tight
times are. With the price of cot
ton even lower than it was last
year the prices of goods were su-
perlatively high. From this same
old record we quote a humber OF
other things, sold in 1916 aud give
the prices charged for them and
also quote the prices of those same
things this date:
