NO GENERAL OVER PRODUCTION.
The next stop that the single standard
men make is upon the claim that prices
have fallen because there has been an
enormous overproduction of every kind Of
commodity. But these gentlemen need
only consult the standard works of their
English economists to learn that a gen.
era) overproductiOn is a scientific impOs-
sfbility. An individual producer may
make a mistake in his plans and produce
more products than he can sell. Indeed
it is conceivable that all producers in
one line of business might do so at the
same time and thus that an OVerprOduc-
ton might exist in that line. But it is
impossible that all producers in all lines
should produce an excess Of everything
at once. When such appears to be the
case it is because there is some fault in
the exchange function, in that branch of
political economy which concerns the
distribution of products to consumers.
The world never yet produced more than
it could consume, and it never will. So
long as millions of men, women and child
rem are hungry, insuffciently clad and
uncomfortably housed, and millions of
others deny themselves rational enjoy
lnents or practice perforce the most rigid
economies, let no man say that there is
an overproduction of food, raiment and
comfort. No, the phenomenon observed
is under-consumption instead. It is always
characterized, moreover, by falling prices,
which invariably mean money that is
hard to get. The theory of overproduction
is both an economic absurdity and
moral monstrosity. 1t is a fit companion
piece to the single gold standard.
HOGS, OATS AND CORN.
Dslodged from this position the advo-
cate of the British money measure in the
United States falls back upon oats, corn
and hogs. In all the discouraging and
unhappy circumstances that environ him,
corn oats and hogs wear for him all the
attractions of the three graces. They
reflect the only light he can see, and he
loudly halls them as the rock Of his SAL
walton. Cite the indubitable record that
girdles the suffering globe with it's con-
stricting proof of falling prices, and he
only yells the louder, as if to stifle at
once your argument and his own mis-
givings: Hogs, Oats and Corn!' Fortu-
nate indeed has the American farmer
been, esecially he Of the Northwest, if
he has been able temporarily to find a
market with some products that are free

"a

standard nation, where home prices have
not fallen, must inevitably compel the
producer, as is now done in the case Of
our wheat and cotton staples, to take in
gold such a price as will buy enough sill
yer in the gold market (Where silver has
fallen more than half to purchase the
competing product in the silver country
where silver has remained practically
unchanged. Many of the prices quoted
by these gentlemen on corn, oats and
hogs are wholly unreliable, but it is not
necessary to spend time to correct them.
We need only to be reminded that the
commercial Importance of all these pro-
ducts is Of recent creation; that excep-
tional circumstances have stimulated de-
mand, and that their producer has wholly
lacked foreign competition. Aside from
the use of oats feed for horses, it has
been a fitful and irregular crop, and it's
use as a human food product, for which
enormous quantities are now required, is
of recent and growing demand. Hogs,
in the increasing scarcity of cattle, have
been lately coming into large vogue as
food, both here and in Europe; and the
American supply has practical monop-
oily of the trade. Corn, until within
few years. has hardly been an article of
export. Only l2,00O,000 bushels went
abroad in 1858, while in 1884 we export
ed 65,000,0 900 bushels, and we meet no COM
petitor in the European market.
Millions of bushels Of corn are now con-
sumed in various processes where not
long ago practically very little was used
for example, in the manufacture of high
wines, spirits, starch and glucose. But
whatever the temporary and accidental ad-
vantage enjoyed by one, two or three
commodities, the law Of final conforma-
ton to the uniform principle of the gold
standard is as absolute as any process
of nature. Like the torture bed of Pro-
crustes, whatever lies on it must be cut
to it's measure.
THE "HUMAN TOLL UNIT
But the gold philosopher has one final
resort. Defeated at every other point, he
seeks to turn the flank Of his foe. Com
PEELED to witness the demolition of every
barrier behind which his gold standard
has entrenched itself, he solemnly an
nounces that we have been fighting shad-
ows all this while; that gold is not the
measure of values at all; that labor is
the basis of all value and the only true
measure of it. It is almost amusing to
see with what JUNCTION this declaration is
made. The Shrinkage of profits and the

UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND NOID.
Judge Nathan Golf of the L. S.
Circuit Court of Appeals, in recent
decision delivered at Martinsburg,
holds the new cigarette law passed by
the Legislature of this State last
winter as unconstitutional, inopera-
tive and void. The decision is a
long one and discusses elaborately
all the points in question and con-
cludes by saying that the act, go far
as it applies to cigarettes imported
from another State into West Vir-
ginia, and sold in this State in the
original packages, is burden upon
commerce among tho States and is
to this extent in violation of the
commercial clause Of the constitu.
ton of the United States, and also,
that so far as it relates to cigarettes
in another State and by the manu-
facturers sent into West Virginia in
the original package for sale by the
agent of the manufacturers and so
sold in such packages by such agent,
is for the same reason imperative
and void.

For GOVERNOR.-The Wheeling
NelrS credits the Hon. John Overton
Pendleton of that city with desire
for gubernatorial honors, and says
he has about decided to announce
his candidacy for the Democratic
nomination. We hear that Forrest
Brown and a. S. cambridge, of JEFF
ferson county, are troubled with a
similar ambition and Judge Ben
netts friends will probably urge him
to make the race again. Lewis
county has another possible candi-
date in the person of Hon. Andy
Edmiston, though we do not know
that Andy's thoughts have been
seriously turned in this direction.
1t is impossible to say Just yet who
the candidates will be-either Demo-
cratic or Republican.
