The trouble with the Dingley bill
is that it was framed to do two entirely
inconsistent and contradictory things,
and thus far it has succeeded in do
ing only one of them. AS a prohibitory
tariff act it is undoubtedly a success.
The importations since it went into eff
feet show this. As revenue producer
IL has proved n colossal failure. The
constantly growing treasury deficit
proves this. What sound reason is there
for expecting effect of the Ding
ley law to be one thing this year and a
different thing next year2-Philadel-
phia Times.

PANIC AND PROSPERITY.
Hard Times Prices Better Than PrOs-
perity Prices.

Hard Times Prices letter Thnn PrOs~
perity Prices.
Republican newspapers are doing all
they can to impress upon the farmers
the idea that prosperity has dawned in
the United States because of the cleo
ton of Mckinley.
The rise in the price of wheat has been
spectacular, and, although it was caused
by famine and short crops abroad, the
increase in price has been exploited to
prove that republican legislation is the
producer of prosperity.
This argument has been urged with
constant reiteration, and has had more
| or less effect, but there are some statis-
teal people in Iowa who are still uncon-
WINGED. Among these disbelievers in re-
publican sophistry is the editor of the
Independent of Forest City, Ia, who
INDUCES in a little mathematical cal
| culation, with results which are not at
all comfortable for the republicans.
With unusual generosity this editor
| takes the panic year of 1893 and COM
pares the prices received then by farm
ers for seven leading agricultural prod
ucts with those received in 1897. The
prices are those quoted on the Chicago
market November Is of 1893 and 1897.
For 1897 the record stands as follows:
500 bu. corn at 26c.................... $3.50 90
500 hu. fax at 81. o. ................... b45 M
500 bu oats at 21c................... l05 .OG
600 Blu. wheat at 94c.................... 1000

20 steers, 100 lbs. at $5.10.......... 1,224.M
Total ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. $2,914.M
Turning back to the panic year of
1898 the statistics give the following
results:
500 blu. corn at 3oc................. S195 0e
500 blu. fax at 81. 16 ................... bS0.W

The storm began at l0;40 o'clock yester-

inches Of snow had fallen and two-tcnths
OF an inch OF snow had melted The pre-
vailing direction OF the wind was east
