FARMERS PROSPERITY.

There is not single occupation, business
or profession to which is not attached by
the Republican organs the label "Prosperi-
y." Every individual man knows better
than the adept statisticians whether he Is
prosperous or not, and II is useless TO expect
an aggregation OF individuals 10 loudly en-.
press thanks for prosperity when they do
not come up the label. The notion has been
going about that the farmers are afflicted
with astounding prosperity" simply be
cause prices OF farm produce have, 10 the
last two or three years, partly recovered
from the low level they reached In some
previous years. Now the farmer ought TO
know, and the records Of mortgages 10 the
various county clerks Offices demonstrate
the fact, that oil these increased receipts, II

strating any increase. are more than sbsorb.
I'D by the increased price he must paw for
everything for which the farmer exchanges
his produce He must pay tribute 70 the
trust, and no better illustration OF the truth
u this eau be made than In the case Of the
American Steel Company. Six thousand
men were thrown out Of employmsn, be.
cause OF the lack OF demand for implements
which the farmers could not purchase be-
cause OF their high price. II there ives 90
much prosperity, why could not the farmer
afford TO purchase the necessary implementsl
Tue fact is that heavy impost ls laid upon
nearly everything the farmer needs 10 bis
household and In his business, while the
prices Of his own products are al the mercy
Of spectators, combines, corners, ETC., etc.
The farmer has TO meet the worlds price
10 disposing Of his product, but he encouu.
ters different state OF things when he comes
10 purchase for himself. The range Of price
set up by the spectators is artificial, and
what they gain In the speculative market
they pocket-what they eventually lose they
mercilessly force the farmer To pay by an
seeming prosperity will be discovered the
more you look bahind 1t 10 be = myth, and
although the mIsfortunes OF the rest Of the
earth have enabled the farmer TO dispose OF
more OF his products than formerly. still
there are combinations TO be broken down,
