The Producer and Transportation Matters.

Some recent publications by the gov
us a key to solve some of the problems
of the few years just passed. 1t has per-
picked thousands of clever thinking
men why prices of many of our products
should have fallen off year by year dur
ing the last four or five years. There
seemed to be no sufficient cause for this.
which was clearly discernable to the
general producer, who might be rightly
presumed to have the most interest in
connection with the matter No doubt
part of the situation was cOmprehended
by many, nevertheless it remained a
source of mystery to large extent, why
prices for so many products, both of
field and factory, should keep falling
from year to year. Some considerable
number of persons began to believe the
purch asing power of the great body of
the human family had visibly decreased.
Varied causes were assigned to have
operated in this direction and produced
such an undesirable effect.
One thing remained as hopeful con-
dition it was found quite impossible to
reach common agreement as to what
the cause or causes really were, and
while this disagreement lasted some
ground for hope was claimed that still
other cause or causes unnamed might
prove to control this whole matter. Now
just here the writer wishes to introduce
a point not often touched upon; the lower
rates of prices prevailing the past few
ears has favored the consumers to an
extent beyond all previous expectations.
A days labor's earning has larger pur-
chasing power at the present time than
ever before, and steady employment
now is the one point most requisite for
the greatest measure of comfort ever
within reach of the average man.
Recently collated information goes to
prove that at no time in the past known
to us, were field and factory products
set down at the doors of consumers at
such low cost to them. Two or three
reasons will be here given to truly &C.
count for this. Mechanical appliances
have enabled the growers and producers
to supply finished article or product
at lower price than in the past; for il
lustration, yard Of cotton goods can
now be supplied for 81 cents to- cents
per yard, which until recently cost from
to IL cents per yard with no better
profits ACQUIRING. A sack of prime family
flour can be prepared at Minneapolis and
transported to Manchester, England, and
set down at the consumers door for 49,
per GENITAL; reduced transportation rates
having played no unimportant part in
this latter statement. Here comes in a
three pound can of cotUolene, or TO-
pound package Of butJerine, the fOrme
at IS cents and the latter at 49, 20 and
the consumer finds these products very
neat, very fine, very pure and very low
in price with free package included.
Now what is it that enables the producer
to furnish such articles to the consumer
at these low rates, except it is the thor
oughly systemized manner of an i'm
mense business esta blishment and mod
ernlzed transportation methods with low
rates of freightage? Take canned beef

all his personal needs In certain dlrec-
tions. In all this matter there is nothing
at all amiss, it is healthy, legitimate
trade. 1t may not be international or it
may be, and just here the writer would
suggest that all and every Obstacle there
to had better be removed giving to the
producer the fullest possible freedom to
come into contact with the consumer.
Does this sound strange? If so, let
me make the INJURY if there are not at
least two or three fold more distributors
now than the wants Of trade call for?
Assuredly is this the case. The place of
the self instituted trader can be supplied
better by agencies at every needed point
and for different lines of goods as we'll,
competing agencies with similar lines
of competitors goods. If this point is
unfortunately attended with reasonable
doubt in the minds of some persons, let
me add it is not most likely the interest
of producers would be to obtain all the
patronage possible by the inducement of
low rates or prices for any or all products
entering the field in competition
with others products.
Increased production has doomed up
from every part of the world, exhibiting
mans energy and activity. Now the
next movement should be to secure an
increased consumption, for surely there
ct n hon 4ol
and but poorly housed and clothed. All
such as are able to offer anything serv
iceable or desirable In exchange. it be-
comes us to seek some commercial in
tercourse or exchanging of products
with them. There is hardly known
limit to such possibilities of exchange
as remain yet an undeyeloped matter.
During the past decade increased
production and decreased cost of trans
portation have wrought a wonder of
change and as the lmprobability of any
retrograde movement in this matter is
almost surety, our best way out the
attendant difficulty is simply to be of
good courage and go forward. The best
advise ever given to men.
We come to the inquiry that ever con-
fronts our foremost men, what seems
most practical and called for as first
step of renewed action?
BY all possible means let us shun an
inflated currency. This is simply an
accused thing in the end. 1t is on alb
solute par with Intoxicating drink.
Simplify personal expenditures; all
public expenditures should be cut down
largely but it is folly to counsel the
latter until the former is first dealt with.
The very day and hour in which the
producer IN this State or in this country
can set down his products in excellent
condition and prime quality at little
lower rate of cost to the consumer, that
day and hour he masters the situation,
and it is the sober conclusion OF the
writer that this is the only way open to
the producer wherein he can expect
relief, or full demand for his capacity
of production and this applies alike to
farm or garden or grove products as
we'll as to any factory goods which could
be named. The latest and best infor-
nation now within our reach sets forth
very CLEARLY tn at we are in No Sm all WaV

MoFFETT's CREEK, May 20.-The sixth
annual commencement of the New Provi-
dence Academy took place on Friday even
ing last, May oath, at which time the final
programme was most excellently rendered.
1t would not be right for me to attempt
to occupy the columns of your excellent
paper by detailed statement of individual
excellence in the parts assigned to the
pupils participating in the exercises, suffice
it to say that all acquitted themselves
well, eliciting encomiums from the large
assembly gathered as spectators.
Among those who took part in the exer-
cises which were opened with prayer by
Rev. J. M. Shreckhise, were-W. F. Dice.
W. Smiley, R. J. Men utt, Grier Smiley,
W. B. Wade, G. R. Smiley, G. R. Whip
pie. B. F. Johnston, Willie Wade. r. M.
Lacy, S. E. Patterson, w. G. Hatton, A.
Smiley, and E. S. McFaddin, and Misses
b. Wade, A. Patterson, s. McClung, Lena
Brown, Cora Beard, Kate Stuart, Grace
Wilson, M. McClung and ]. Whipple.
1t is estimated that there were nearly
eight hundred persons present. Quite a
number of the young ladies and gentlemen
received certificates of distinction and
completion Of certain courses of study,
which, besides the lower branches, included
Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Sur
veying, Latin, French, German, Greek and
Music.
To MI. s. Ephraim Patterson was award
ed the scholarship in Washington & Lee
University. Miss Jean Moncrief Whip
pie received the prize offered, a gold pen,
for greatest improvement in music. Misses
Leila Dudley and Ada Patterson, and
Messrs. Hunter McClung, David OFT,
Robert McNutt and James Brooks, receiv-
ed medals for good conduct.
The Academy has had during the session
closed, a good patronage, the teachers have
been earnest and painstaking in their efforts
to advance the pupils, and the mere NEIL
tion that they have been successful is but
feeble expression of the measure of their
success.
It is expected that the seventh annual
session will commence about the middle of
September next, at which time we hope to
greet returning pupils and to have the
pleasure of welcoming many new ones.

Providence church last Sunday, the pastor,

Railroad to be Sold.

The Richmond, Nicholas, Irvine and
Beattyyille railroad in Kentucky, is to be
sold to satisfy the Judgment of D. Shanna-
han & Co. for $500. 1000, mentioned in the
VINDICATOR last week, and for other
claims. The Cincinnati Gazette speaking
of the suit and sale says:
The original contractors for the con-
struction Of this railroad were the we'll
known firm of D. Shannahan & Co., of
Louisville, Ky. Their lien amounts to
the sum of 100000. This firm was con-
nected with the bnilding of the e. & ..
Railroad here, and also the magnificent
Huntington bridge across the Ohio River
into this city, and is now engaged in con-
structing the famous Chicago Drainage
Canal.
The contractors who built the railroad
and men who furnished materials, filed
liens against the railroad property in the
manner required by the Kentucky statute.
Under the decision of the lower court they
out interest. BY the decision rendered
yesterday the contractors are also allowed
interest on their entire claims from the
time they became due.
Some attorneys in the case claimed a
mechanics lien for legal services performed
for the railroad company, but the Court
affirms the decision of the lower Court that
an attorney is not mechanic, and is not
entitled to the benefit of the lien statute.
The railroad will shortly be sold to Salts
fly all lien debts and receivers certificates,
which amounts to about $3.50, 900. The
railroad property will far more than pay
all the liens, with interest and costs,

DEATH OF USEFUL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
MENT OF QUARANTINE STATION
THE DAMAGE BY THE FROsTs, &C.
[Reported for the Staunton VINDIcAToR.]
MOFFETT's CREEK, May 22-During
the week jus past death has robbed our
community of two good citizens. Mrs.
Peter Lucas, wife of one of our weathiest
farmers died Oh Wednesday, 18th, and MI.
Jacob Runkle on Friday, 18th. Both wer e
buried from Mt. Hermon church this place.
Each funeral was attended by a large num-
Der of friends and relatives of the deceas-
ed.
Mr.. Runkle was member of Co. D 5th
Va. regiment, and quite a number of the
surviving members Of his old company
were present at his funeral to pay the last
tribnte of respect to the memory of their
departed comrade The active pallbearers
were Messrs. David F. Miller, John w.
Beard, VIM. II. Fulton, Jas. B. McCutch-
an, VIM. Wiseman and Matt Fix: hon
orary Col. H. J. Williams, and Messrs. T.
M. Smiley, Jno. N. Hite George Lucas,
Harrison Swartzel and Samuel Lofts, all
members of CO. D 5th Va.
The funeral sermon preached by Rev. G.
A. Freed pastor of the Lutheran church
at this place was very appropriate one.
He alluded to the time, "a years ago, when
the deceased acting upon his convictions
of duty joined the Confederate army and
fi,,.o,, fJ,ox in, Of h
native soil, and then spoke of his having
subsequently enlisted as a soldier in anoth
ter army when he did valiant service in the
cause of the church militant.
In the case of both Mrs. Lucas and MI
Runkle, death was preceded by a long an6
painful illness, and was doubtless welcome
release from suffering. Mrs Lucas leaves
husband and ten children. and large
number Of grand children, to mourn theil
loss. MI. Runkle's immediate family con
sisted of a wife and daughter. His con.
nections by marriage are quite numerous
in this neighborhood, and he leaves large
circle of friends, all af whom realize that
they have lost good neighbor and worthy
citizen.
The smallpox excitement has somewhat
abated with us. On last Tuesday Supervisor
Smiley and Justice TaliaferrO went to Mid,
dlebrook. and in conjunction with Justice
Hamilton, and DR. Dunlap established a
small pox hospital at that place, where all
suspects will be placed under guard and if
taken sick will be treated by DR.. Dunlap.
This precaution, in connection with a
rigid enforcement of the resolution of the
board OF Supervisors with regard to COM
pulsory vaccination will it is to be hoped
soon stamp out the disease in our section.
The recent froA&s did some damage to
the gardens in this vicinity. but the fruit
does not seem to have been materially in
jured owing no doubt to its advanced stage
and the protection afforded by the foliage

has retired for the season, and will n5t
