NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS."

The venerable notion that the real root OF diff
Guilty in business is not overproductlon or any
sort. but undcrconsumption OF this or that prod
net IS again brought forward by Mr.. Marshall
in one Of his letters TO The New-York SUM-
He instances anthracite coal and bituminous
coal whiskcy, cottonseed oil. white lead, cordage
and other commodities, and argues that In
These and many other cases combinations TO re-
strict production become necessary only because
there is underconsumption Of certain products.
At bottom the difficulty seems to be misuse
or misunderstanding Of terms. Strictly speak
ing the two phrases mean the same thing There
Is overproduction when the quantity produced
undesirably exceeds the actual consumption.
whatever that may be. There IS underconsump-
ton when the quantity consumed falls too far
below the quantity produced, whatever that may
be. But each phrase points toward a separate
cause Of the disparity between production and
consumption. and as these causes are essentially
different, 1t gets into the minds Of men that the
one or the other may be regarded as the bottom
fact In all industrial Disturbances
one phrase points to the wellknown fact that
In certain particular branches Of industry 1t IL
always possible 10 go too far at any given time,
and TO glut the market and depress prices and
destroy profits by raising more Of particular
product as Of cotton last year, than can possibly
find a market at any price. There Is no theory
about this The world Is full Of illustrations
proving that such limited overproduction, In a
particular branch Of industry Is not only al
ways possible but actually probable. 1t does
not alter the fact In the least TO say that
quantities OF cotton might be worked into goods
and sold, were the price permanently and sufii-
GENTLY reduced and that n greater number OF
people would buy and use cotton goods In that
event The actual consumption Is. on the whole,
regulated by the conditions Of the consuming
populations in this and other countries, not for
a particular season, not for any month or year,
but In broader and more permanent sense.
What people are accustomed In the long run TO
buv and 10 consume Is the measure Of safe pro-
duction for any particular product.
ON the other hand, It Is equally true that this
normal consumption is at times materially dimln-
,shcd by changes In the condition Of the con.
suming population. Financial disasters not in
Frequently affect. and quite materially. the con
sumption Of many farm and manufactured prod
nets particularly In other countries where the
struggle for life IL more difficult. and the mar

THE PALM GARDEN IN CENTRAL PARK

In this densely inhabited island every foot Of
space Is coveted, and there will always be good
people who suppose that they can put the lawns
and meadows OF parks to better use than to
leave them simple stretches Of turf with Dor
ders of trees and shrubs. A few years ago the
president Of the Park Board spoke Of one Of
these wales as waste ground" and he proposed
10 cover it with sheds and stables for a
menagerie OF wild beasts. Just now there is
project 10 erect on another lawn palm house
that Is, q spacious glass structure TO hold fully
grown treeferns, palms and other tropical
vegetation.
Now, there is no doubt that q geological gar
den, a botanical garden. an aquarium or any
other kind of museum Of living objects IL an
admirable possession for any city; but the thing
TO bear In mind Is that the purpose Of q museum
and the purpose Of an urban park are altogether
distinct Institutions Of either sort may be used
to advantage IN connection with public parks
where there is ample space for them, and where
they do not interfere with the controlling motive
Of the grounds. The attempt TO Introduce both
animal and plant museums in Central Park has
been made over and over again, but fortunate
ly, there Is no longer any excuse for either. A
law authorizing geological garien In one Of
the incorporators have organized and begun to
work Central Park has, therefore, escaped
from the danger Of invaslons Of this sort for all
time 10 come. Besides this a botanical garden
has already been established and one Of It's
features will. of course be tropical plant houses.
1t would be absurd just now when the directors
Of the botanical garden are preparing 10 pro-
vide the city with museums Of living plants for
the Park Department 10 set up an opposition
show in Central Park.
But even II the botanical garden did not rem
der the proposed palm house unnecessary, the
intelligent people Of the city ought to know by
this time that there Is no reason or room for any
such building Ia Central Park. II Is not half
large enough now TO serve It's legitimate pur-
pose A portion OF the northern end Of the park
on the Fifth-ave. side has never been completed
until nnw and IL will soou lao oDen meadow

vert the place from It's highest use. Every one
y, tbe small lawns in the southern part of the
mark ia filled every day with women and chill
dren. and the part Just completed will furnish
a similar recreation place for the population
which Is rapidly growing near 1t. plant
museum would afford some instruction. but IT
would BY no means furnish that repose or mind
and that relief to the spirit which billowy
stretch of turf brings to senses wearied with the
sights and sounds Of city lfe
This Is the primary function or an urban park
II is not education. nor amusement, but refresh
ment. pure and simple. for body and mind which
these rural scene, afford And it ought to he
remembered that this distinctive purpose OF
mark IS by no means trivial. 1t meets pro-
founder want in city life than picture galleries
or museums 1t Is quite as genuine factor In
promotlng the public health and happiness as
are hospitals, colleges, schools or churches.
