THE goldbug-Republican combine
is making much ado over the pres
ent fair price of wheat, and claim
that this is the revival of good
times" Let's see. Last October
wheat sold in Columbia at one dol
lar bushel. The only difference is
that the advance was little earlier
this year than last, even if the dol
lar mark is reached this year. And
certainly we had no great shakes OF
prosperity last year. Going back a
few years 10 1921, which was by no
means a prosperous year for the
country at large, we find September
wheat selling at $ll6. Before the
country got used TO these times they
thought 1891 was bad enough: and
yet wheat sold then at from % to -
more per bushel than it is selling for
now. We are sorry 70 displease
some Of our friends by declining
their faith cure" doctrine, but truth
is, the country has wasted away too
long on that school Of treatment al
ready. II needs now a change of
diet, change Of doctors, and a
change Of medicine.

Now they have started fairy
tale about the crops out west being
marvellously great and the laborers
distressingly few. To hear them tell
it, the farmers are watching the
roads and hunting the bushes for
tramps, and begging them to work ;
and advertising in the city papers
for hands But these tramps and
"hands' are idle fellows, don't you
know? All of which, in our opinion,
is great big political lie. If any
responsible firm, corporation or in
dividual, will advertise for ten thou
sand farm hands at 81 per day, the
demand will be met within week.
There are some people who won't
work; that's true. But nine-tenths
Of the idle are those who cannot
find employment at living wages.

Columbia, the Queen City of the

bank statements showing over a
half million dollars on deposit, can
not afford school for its boys. The
trouble is that the men and women

the value Of the bulls and tho cost OF
