a bill in the Florida legislature pro-
viding for a constitutional amendment

sious TO February. The object OF this
bin is to do away with a difficulty Of a

IL Is quite time that the farmers OF the
country should understand that the tariff
has no more 10 do with the price of wheat
than the rise and fan of the tide. Wheat
commands high price when the produc
ton is not equal to the demand. and it
commands a low price when there are
good crops throughout the wheat grow
ing world These variations in the price
OF wheat are not affected in the slightest
degree by a high or low tariff.

ABOUT CHAIN BUSINESS


As some Of our people have been
working the endless chain racket
we herewith publish short sermon
on the subject from the pen of Rev.
} o. Thompson OF the Keyser Echo
We have several times received
letters asking us to please help on
charitable chalH," by enclosi n Q
sum Of money to somebody and
also making three copies of the let
ter and mailing them 60 three of
our friends. Now we have this to
say about such ''chains." We don t
intend to be or make link IN an
OF them. II we can we will help
avery good ctuse that appeals to us -,
but We will not help it in that way.
We will not even ask or advise any,
body else to help in that way. We
advise everybody who has money to
raise to take some less pestilent,
more sensible way to Talse IT..
Among our reasons for not fAyorin O
the "chaIn" idea is the fact that it
IS too wAsteful IF the chain is
carried cut according to the plan,
No. l writing TO three persons. each
OF the three writing TO three more,
each of these writing to three more,
aud so on up to No. 20, us proposed
in case which recently came to
our notice, the number Of people
required to complete the chain
woHld be only l FAB, 7S9, ISL, several
times the present population of the
earth. Of these 39S, 3l7,Ill would
pay eight cents postage each which
would amount to the snug little
sum of $31 ,065, 3GS.SS and this
added to the two cents each paid
for postage by the remaining l.
G25 ,5l9,S47 would bring the post.
ago account up to 50 ,4lG. 565. 50
Another argument agaInst the
cham business is the fact that fifty
per cent. of the whole amount in
yolyed is wasted. 10 get dime
from me the promoters Of the chain
ask nc to furnish stationery for four
letters, to spend at least half 4 dol
lars wort Of time IN writing, and to
pay ont eight cents in cash for pos
tage. The postage and stationery
amount to at least as much as the
contribution they ask. 1t would
seem that fifty per cent. is pretty
large per centage for collection.
The whole scheme is absurdly I'M
practicable though, Of course it
may bring in some money. The
figures We have giYen look a0surdIy
large, bat any one who clH null
! tiply and add can easily WORTHY them.
Just begin with / and multiply by
3, usiRg the product Of each oper,-
ton az u muitipIicand Tor the next,
repeating the process nineteen
times, and then adJiRg all the pro.
ducts and it will be seen that our
I figures are correct. And anybody
can sec that every one who contrib.
utes q dino pays another for post.
