NO. l6. ALEXANDRIA. VA, WEDNESDAY EVENING JAN
WOODLAND FARMERS CLUB.

The January meeting Of the Wood
lawn Farmers Club was held at the
residence of J. n. Gibbs on the 10th
inst, President Harrison in the chair
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and approved.
IL further discussion Of the subject
under consideration at last meeting
"The cause and the remedy for the
present depression of agricultural in-
s'-allusion was made to recent
article in the Farm Journal advocating
the reduction of the salaries of State
and county officials. II was argued that
there was no good reason why they
should remain the same as they were
in prosperous times, as nearly every
thing they have to buy Is reduced In
price. Taxes also are as high as ever,
when they should be reduced in pro-
portion to the prices of commodities.
An article was read from late
pumber of the Country Gentle
man, in which it was shown
that the present low prices were caus.
ed by the unwise policy of the govern
ment in giving away the public lands
to foreigners, railroad companies and
others To such an extent that
the production OF agricultural sta.
pies largely exceeded the demand
from the natural increase Of popula-
ton. Ali the world was invited to
come here and compete with the farm
er, while the immigration laws in
great measure shut out those who
would compete with other branches OF
business. Supper being announced the
club adjourned to IN eet at the home of
the secretary on the 18th OF February.
