THE COMMON SENSE OF 1T.
Cor. Country Gentleman.

Cor. Country Gentleman.
If present prices are compared with
prices during and for many years since
the late war, them seem low but when
we recall that prices then were govern
ed by deprecated paper money of much
less value than real money, and now by
real money, when the inflated prices
are reduced to the real money value
the difference will not be very great.
Or, if present prices are compared
with those obtained for twenty years
prior to the war, they will not seem to
be so very low as they now appear.
The fact is, if we take the average
prices for farm products for 20 years be-
fore 1860 as a standard for measure
ment, it will be found that prices today
are fair average Of the prices of
those days, and as farmers proSpered
then, it would seem at first thought as
if they ought to now.
But second thought shows that
the present generation of farmers
have grown up during and since the
war; that their ideas Of prices and of
living expenses are governed by the
conditions that have existed during
these years of inflated prices, during
which the demands Of living have in
creased faster than the means of sup
plying them. During the war all prices
the prices for farm products have been
greatly reduced, many things which
farmers have to pay for remain but
little altered-such as hotel charges,
teachers and ministers salaries, and
wages. While the prices of the far
mers' products have gone down, his
taxes have gone up, and with this in
creased burden the demands Of social
intercourse have largely increased.
Now farmers require better furnished
houses-more carpets, more pianos, or
gans, pictures, books, carriages and
equipments, more and better dressing,
and more in other directions All these
things cost money.
These, then, are present conditions,
and show why farmers, so many of
them, cry hard times-not that the
times are SO hard if living were upon a
more simple and economical scale
but because the equilibrium between
receipts and expenses is yet in a state
of agitation and struggle, and until an
adjustment is reached, times will be
no better.

cAPETowN COMMITTEE MAKES 4
REPORT in TIRE TRANSvAAL
AFFAIR.
iNsTIGATED JAMEsoN's RAID.
HIS COURSE, IN VIEW OF HIS POSI-
TION AS CAPE PREMIER, REP
REHENSIBLE.
IINoRITY REPORT DIsAGREEs.
An Evident Effort to Clear Him and
His Lieutenants of q Grave
Charge.

CAPE TOWN, July 19.-The select
committee of the house Of assembly
of Cape Colony to inquire into the cir
cumstances of the Jameson raid has
made a report. 1t finds that Cecil
Rhodes was fully acquainted with the
preparations for the raid and that AL
fred Belt, director in the South Africa
company, DR.. Jameson, administra-
tor for the company in Rhodesia, and
DR.. Rutherford Harris, secretary for
the company at Cape Town, were act
i've promoters of the raid 1t also finds
that DR.. jameson personally obtained
from johannesburg a letter Of invita-
ton for his raiders to come fully a
month before the ostensible date.
There was no evidence adducd to show
that Cecil Rhodes intended that the
Patsani force should invade the Trans
vaal unlimited. But at the same time.
there was an absence of any peremp-
tory command from Mr.. Rhodes to
prevent the raid. Mr.. Rhodes and DR..
Harris drafted telegram containing
such command, but it was never dis
patched, not even when the wires (cut
by DIR. Jameson's orders) were re-
stored.
The committee, thereupon. cannot
acquit Mr.. Cecil Rhodes Of responsible
lily. Mr.. Rhodes never informed his
colleagues Of the raid. Sir Hercules
Robinson, governor of Cape Colony,
and Sir Jacobus Dewet, British agent
at Pretoria, alone sent kilograms to
arrest DR.. Jameson's advance.
The Chartered South Africa com
%hn
the funds for the raid with the know
ledge Of its London office. Cecil Rhodes
afterwards refunded this amount to
the company. s74
The report of the select committee
concludes with an expression of re-
greet that Cecil Rhodes did not attend
the committees meetings to give evil
dence. The committee is therefore,
forced to the conclusion that his con-
duct was not consistent with the duty
Of Cape premier.
LONDON, July 2O.-A dispatch from
Cape Town to the Times says that Sir
Thomas Upington, attorney general Of
Cape Colony, besides signing the report
of the select committee has issued a
minority report generating the London
office Of the Chartered South Africa
CoHupduy from dHy guilty knowledge OF
the raid and declaring that the evidence
does not suffice to involve Cecil Rhodes
in actual acqufesence in the raid, but
that it shows that when he became
aware of 1t he did all in his power to
prevent further inroad.
Sir Thomas Upington's report appears
to be intended to clear Mr.. Rhodes in
his political capacity from the serious
charge Of responsibility for the invas-
ion of a friendly state.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 10
Among the passengers on the steamer
China, which arrived today from Yo-
kohama, were Sho Memoto and r.
Kuskado, prominent japanese bust
ness men whose errand is to arrange
details Of gigantic colonization
scheme in Mexico. They have secured
an option Of 100000 acres of land in
the state Of Chiapas, Mexico, and are
on their way south to consummate the
DEAL The land is sold to them at 81
per acre. The immense tract will be
cut into small farms which will be
operated by coolie labor brought from
Japan. Cotton, sugar, tobacco and
products adapted to the climate will
be raised. In addition to the above
scheme, ShO Memoto has been COM
missioned by the Japanese to investi-
gate the trade prospects of Mexico
and Central America. 1t is the desire
or the japanese to trade directly with
the countries south of the United
States as far down as Panama and
a steamship line has been subsidized
to run to ports along the Pacific coast.
The main port will be San Diego, In
this state, and it Is the intention of
japanese manufacturers to import all
their cotton via San Diego instead of
through San Francisco and Puget
sound ports, as at present. Traffic ar
rangements will also probably be made
with the Tehuantepec railroad, thus
giving the new steamship company
access to the Atlantic coast The
steamship company has nothing to do
with the one about to be established
with Portland as the main port of call.

1T is possible to distinguish milks pro-

after the milking, then no such distinc-
