Having become hopelessly involved
in it's financial affairs, the Morgan Co
operative Mercantile Institution has
Just made a radical move, and chat
tie mortgage covering all of its prop
erty has been placed on record. This
instrument is in favor of lions Co
operative Mercantile Institution, and
calls for sum between $1,000 and
$4,000 In addition to this mortgage,
the Morgan institution gave to the big
Coop an assignment of its accounts.
This secured z. c. M. L., but it is said
that there is in the neighborhood OF
$4,000 still owing to outside people. In
order to fully take care of its interests
the local institution yesterday COM
menced suit in the Fourth district
court for a balance of some $1,000.
A rough estimate of the stock and
other property owned by the Morgan
company places the assets of the lat
ter at about the same sum as the
liabilities, so that it is in reality a
complete failure. 1t is not just yet
known whether or not the business
will be carried on as in the past, but
the general idea is that the store will
not be allowed to close UP.

the local officers of the company that
everything is operating with smooth

tubers. Only certain sections of the
district are as yet making deliveries,
the well ripened ibeets being selected
by the superintendent of that depart

Since the first business day of the
present week Utah sugar has been in

SOME COMPARISONS.

Prices of Corn and Cost of Labor
Twenty Years Ago.
To the Editor of The Herald:
Your morning contemporary fire.
uuently of late descants upon the
hardships of the farmer of the Miss
issippi valley who is raising 80 cent
corn. In November, 1872, the farmers
of eastern Iowa were selling their
corn at the railroad stations on the
great trunk lines for IA cents in green
backs worth, as the writer now re-
members it, from so to 80 cents in
gold or silver coin. The prices Of
clothing, furniture, farming imple-
ments, coal, and all groceries that an
Iowa farmer has to buy, were en-
HANGED by the deprecated currency
and most Of them still further in
creased by a protective O. tariff so
that they were from 20 to so per cent.
higher than now. The cost of hired
labor in greenbacks was nearly as
high as it since has been in money
worth par. Farm lands in that locality
are from 20 to so per cent. higher now
than in 1872. But it cost the Iowa
farmer to borrow money at that time
between IL and u per cent. interest,
while now on the same security he can
borrow at a cost of from 612 to per
cent interest SO that the interest of
the money on the cost of an acre of
corn land in 1872 was somewhat more
than now. If, then, the lot Of the
farmer raising corn in 1895 at 80 cents
per bushel is hard, what must it have
been in 1872, raising corn at a nomin-
al price of IA cents, but a real 0rice
nearer II cents.
THE 14-cent corn was raised and
sold in good Republican boom times,
nearly a year before the great Repub-
lican panic of 1873, while the corn of
1895 is raised and sold while the coun-
try is just recovering from according
to Democratic authority just in the
throes of, according to Republican
authority, of the panic of 1893. E.
