crept in upon the body of the people
and had affected public Improvements,
so that two, three, fourfold the amount
of taxes were now called for than for
merly-and this per capita. Increased
compensations were called for on all
sides, and granted to almost all classes
of workers except the farmers, whose
compensation depended upon the mar
ket prices of their products, and these
were gradually lowering from year to
year. Though farming as carefully as
it was possible for the writer TO do, dur
ing period of years from 1866 to 1877,
the result was an annual loss or falling
into debt.
Nor was this case an exceptional one,
for of those engaged IN the same pursuit
not few experienced like result.
Everything needed on the farm cost
heavily, and often the crops sold for low
prices because of their abundance.
Many persons have quite erroneous
ideas as to the prevailing prices of farm,
orchard and garden products during the
years of our intensest activity and great
est amount of money per capita-with
highest prices for most lines of goods and
products. They can remember wheat
at So so per bushel, and -four at Sl5 per
barrel, bacon at IS cents per pound.
kerosene at 81 per gallon. steel rails at
81 90 per ton, common (unskilled) labor
at So and sometimes So so per day, 1915
for harvester of improved kind, etc.,
etc; yet high prices of farm products
had no stability, and though they are
impressed upon our mind as having a
run, they were subject to an ever vary
ing supply, and like eggs they might
bring an attractive price at one date
like 80 cents per dozen, as the writer
| knew of on one occasion only-and one
fourth or one-ffth that sum at another
time not far distant but under an
abundant supply. In 1872 the writer
handled large quantities of fruit
peaches, pears and apples-and the
prices we're surprisingly low. 1t was
only few days ago-about June 18th
the writer received letter from some
friends in New Jersey engaged in gar
dening, and among other items of infor-
nation was this 10 regard to the price
of lettuce, of which these persons grow
large quantities: that it had lately been
selling at from fifteen to twenty-five
cents per pound. Farm products, and
especially orchard and garden products,
are mainly of perishable character,
and can not be held over for few
months to take any advantage OF
cleared up market, if such might occur.
Farmers are mainly obliged to sell as
soon as their crops mature, and there
fore ought to be freed from adverse
legislation. If legislation be enacted
favoring one class of industrial workers,
it is quite sure to follow that it either
directly or indirectly imposes addi-
tional burdens upon some other line OF
workers. Partially is almost certain to
end in i'll to some part, if not the whole
body, of our people. The farmers of
this country have to compete with far
mers the world over, and nothing save q
restricted production can give aid to the
farming interest while shadow of ad-

Some Reasons Why Farming Has Not Held
Its Former Place Among Other
Industries.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Fifty years ago farming in this coun-
try held high and honorable place
among the industries, and the thrifty
farmers had means to lend to business
men as quite common occurrence.
Forty years ago farm life was regard
ed with especial favor-it had it's
charms of quiet comfort, of real indie
pendence, of a greater stability and
more assured income Gf not even larger
compensatory than other industrial pur
suits.
The average farmer was about evenly
educated with the average industrial
worker in other lines-unless we except
the preachers and teachers, lawyers and
doctors, ETC., whose labors entitle them
to be counted as workers on special lines
of industries, and whose opportunities
had been somewhat better for a broader
range of learning. Not few farmers
in those days often sat upon the judicial
benches; or practiced at the bar of some
court; or ministered in some pulpit; or
visited the sick, ministering to their
wants; or taught the unfolding minds
of class of youths. But whether as
farmer and naught else, or otherwise,
we call clearly to mind larger respect
as being paid to their calling and to their
labors than has been accredited these
later years.
Suppose we examine into this matter,
and see if any injustice appears as hav
ing been done to the farmers-any par
tality shown to other industries-any
sound reason why discrimination
should have been exercised in any
measure whatever. Statistics show that
the en- years preceding 1860 were the
most prosperous years for farmers and
/ many other workers during the century
4 past. The best PRICES for products gen
orally thai are on record may be found
to have existed just about forty years
| back Since then some abnorma al condi
tons existed for while, and caused a
temporary rise-or at least an apparent
rise-of prices; but upon Investigation
it will be seen that these prices mainly
were either unreal, or only for short
time, during deficit of usual supply.
AS an instance, cotton sold for 80 cents
per pound in 1866, but that 80 cents only
\ was in paper currency rated at so cents
to the dollar in specie money. Nor did
that 40 cents per pound for cotton hold
over through the season of 1867, and by
1868 1t had fallen to about Is cents per
pound. Two or three short wheat crops
about this time gave to wheat an en-
HANGED value, so that if taken alone it
would seem as if prices had risen, but
when other products are examined it
! will be found no general advance &C.
CURED, while in fact a general decline
had set in and the cry of overproduction
began first to be raised about 187O-72.
Mechanical ingenuity was never be-
fore so rapidly developed, and produc-
ton proceeded at a lessening of cost,
while transportation soon followed in
it's ability to haul products at less cost
than ever before.
An era of largely extended produc-
ton along almost all lines of industry in
this country clearly showed itself. while

The State Normal at Weston

The policy Of The state in establishing
a normal school in Eastern Oregon il
founded on several reasons. These
reasons become quite apparent to any
one who studies the situation.
The first il based on the consideration
of economy. Eastern Oregon has spent
large sums Of money in Portland and
the Willamette valley, not alone. for
groceries, provisions, ETC., but for ednca-
ton. The necessity for 4 long and ex-
pensive trip is not now necessary in
order to reach good institution of
learning.
The second consideration is that Of
health. Too often the young people
in the dry and healthful climate of East
ern Oregon find the long continued
rains, the chilly fogs and the always
wet atmosphere OF the western portion OF
the state Incompatible with good health.
They at least have to go through the
process of acclilpatization, which pre-
vents the best results OF study.
Another consideration is that of fair
and equitable division Of the state edu-
cational institutions among the people
! who pay the taxes. These and other

policy which placed this young and
prosperous institution within reach oi
l our people.
! One hundred and thirty-eight young
men and women were enrolled in the
school last year--the second in its his.
tory. The people OF Eastern Oregon are
showing their appreciation OF the states
generosity, aud naturally take pride in
this the only state institution east Of the
Cascade mountains,
While the primary object OF the sehoo
/ is to train teachers, and grant its
graduates diplomas emitting them the

schools OF the state without further ex
animation, vet anyone not intending t.

false rnnor from going the rounds Of the
press Of the state. There is no danger
Of another paper being established here,
