A letter from brother OF the pub
fishers OF the PLAIN DEALER. residing
in Chautauqua county, N. Y, under
date of February 26, ment ons farm
half mile from our old home which
is to be sold on mortgage this week
says: s'Money is hard to get though
it is plentp in the banks and among
money lenders, but it takes the most
gilt edged security to get it, the own
ers rather letting it lie idle in the
banks, than to loan 1t on real estate,
as they say they don't the land as Sc
curity. Within two miles of us, are
ten families with farms, who need
money but can't get it. There are
many elegant buildings being put up
in jamestown by the rich, but the poor
are tending toward novels. We have
drifted away from the ideas OF Jeffer-
son and have return of Federal
ism aud tory party hostile to the
doctrine of human rights promulgated
by Jefferson. Is the country already
on the breakers, and is there no res
cuepn
The farm which our brother men,
tions, in 1878 would have sold at $75
an acre. Now it will go into the pos
session OF money lender at one fourth
its real value. The appreciation of
money has been such under the gold
standard that one dollar buys five times
as much land as it would in 1878. in
any of the eastern states. In the mid
die west since that time there has been
an apparent rise in the value of real
estate, notably in Northern Iowa, but
unless there is an advance in the price
of farm products land prices must re-
cede. If money invested in farms, for
series of years fails to bring the
owner in rent, as much as a like sum
invested in stocks, bonds or other Sc
curities for like time, then evidently
the price of land must decline. II
money is worth 8 per cent interest,
then farm held at $50 an acre should
rent at 81 per acre, over and above
taxes. If it will only rent for two dol
lars an acre and money is worth 8 per
cent, then the real value of the farm
as an investment is but $25 per acre.
And If the annual rent is less than 81
an acre there must be another cut in
the price of the farm as an investment

Why is it that no one ever thinks of
going to the postoffice and asking for
stamps on tick? or to the express or
railroad ticket or freight Office and un-
dertaking to give ''stand-off'' for SER
vice rendered? 1t is because they
know their requests would not be
granted. Then why should those peo-
pie ask or expect the newspapers to do
far more than these rich concerns will
do? A great many people make SER

AFaIse Report.

The report being circulated that
the permit Of j. j. Lowry to sell in
toxicating liquor was taken from hiln
lacks the element of truth. Mr..
Lowry with the consent and approx
al of Mr.. Luers and Fred Lowry vol
UNFAIRLY surrendered the permit and
had it cancelled, as Mr.. Luers and
Fred Lowry do not desire to have
anything to do with the liquor traffic
as pharmacists or otherwise. They
have no liquor for sale. and prefer
the legitimate trade belonging to their
business for which they arc to be
commended.
