cure the farmers land and ms pro-
duce has increased fourfold, while the
power of his products to pay his taxes
and debts have decreased in proper
ton.
In 1873 wheat sold from S1.55 to 1925
per bushel according to Spofford's
Almanac in New York, in 1894 it sold
for fifty cents. In 1878 a bushel of
wheat would pay 50 of indebtedness
and leave twenty-five cents to pay for
Injuries, necessities, or taxes. But in
1894 it takes Az bushels of wheat to
bring the same amount, while taxes
and debts remain unchanged. A man
contracting G debt of $1,000 in 1878
could reasonably calculate to pay it
off with 500 bushels of wheat, and
leave him a margin of 1925 for other
expenses. In 1873 it took less than
twenty-seven bushels of wheat to pay
in the interest on a debt of 81 900, but
each succeeding year has increased the
number of bushels, thus decreasing
the power to pay the principal, until
in 1894 it takes 100 bushels to pay
the interest alone, or just twenty-four
per cent, of what it originally would
have taken to wipe out the entire debt,
and instead of 500 bushels of wheat it
will now take 1000 bushels to pay the
original debt.
Wheat is used only as an example,
but the rate of descending farm values
is the same on all staple agricultural
products, and what applies to wheat
applies with equal force to corn, cot
ton, tobacco, etc.-H. r. Report 1895,

Her husband died within two years
and she gave up housekeeping On
March 26th she was married to James
II Ports, of Winston. He was then
a very sick man, but he had loved her
devotedly and it was his dying wish
that they should be welded. To please

THE HEBREW IN THE SOUTH.
After Years of Patient Struggling they
Have Overcome Prejudice.

Have Overcome Prejudice.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
position of the Southern Jew to-day
Is equally as high as that of his brother
in any section of the country, it is
nevertheless true that in attaining it
he has had to struggle longer and
harder than his people in other Sec
tions. Not only has he had to over
come the prejudice against his race and
religion, but in addition has also had
to contend with the so-called aristo-
cratic pride which regarded with sus-
picion all beyond the pale of FIRST
families" and their descendants.
This state of affairs, but for its un-
pleasant results, would have been al
most grimly humorous, for in many
parts of the South the Jews were
among the earliest settlers, and in
numerous instances their families have
been much longer in America than
the progenitors of those who insist up
on regarding and treating them as
aliens and strangers.
With the exception of North Caro-
lima and Louisiana, the jew in the
South has always been accorded full
legal rights. The latter State, by virtue
s0f what is known as the "Black Code"
Of Bienville's time, placed them on the
same footing as the negro. In North
Carolina they were practically dis
franchised until the late war. They
were not allowed to have synagogues,
and it was not until 1852 that they
even had a burying ground of their
own in the State.-Jewish Messenger.
