The Theory of fOverprOduction.
An attempt has been made to account
for the fall of prices upon the theory
that there Is overproduction. 1t Is un-
reasonable to ask us to believe that
there has been overproduction all along
the line for twenty years, and the fact
that millions of men have not enough
food or clothing is sufficient to demon
strate that the theory is absurd. Take
wheat, for example. The belief Is gen.
eral that this country constantly eX-
pands its wheat-growing area. In truth,
we had 2,000,0 900 acres less in wheat in
1890 than we had in 1880. The wheat
crops of the world are not excessive.
They do not increase as fast as the re-
quirements of the population demand.
Here are the figures for ten years:

"People sometimes complain" writes
Nine. Melba in Lippincott's, that the
opera is expensive. Why should 1t not
be? Paintings by Daubigny, Rous-
seau, Vibert. Cazin, Jean Beraud, Detti,
ETC.. are expensive, because they are ex-
cellent, and the possessors Of the tech
nique required to produce them are
few in number and know their own
value. There are very few composers
who are able to produce really great
operas, and they must be we'll paid.
Then how many vocal artists are there
IN the known world who are competent
to interpret music? Do we appreciate
the enormous expenditure Of time and
effort, the long, laborious, uninterrupted
training which the singers must go
through with, before audiences will lis
ten to them? This species Of training.
too, demands the sternest and most con-
scientious personal sacrifices. There
must be often Spartan regimen, great
forfeitures of social pleasures, daily
and unceasing study and practice, no
matter at what cost of WEAKNESS and
often irksome labor. All this must be
accomplished while the golden hours of
youth are fieeting, and without the sure
promise of ultimate success as an in
centive. The attainment Of renown as
