PROSPERITY AND Prices.
rNew York Tribune.

1t is a well known fact that prosper
Gus business conditions invariably bring
high prices. According to Dun's index
number, the cost of living per capita per
annum fell to sI2.45 on July l, 1897. the
lowest point ever touched. 1t was the
eliminating print of the countrys
gloomy experience under low tariffs
and the addition of 2s2.0O0,OO0 to the
national debt. In startling contrast is
the index number Of Nov. l. 1901, which
shows that the cost of living had
reached s97.74, the highest point of the
decade. This is all the more impressive,
since il ia accompanied by many de-.
5ciines in finished products of manufac-
ture, due to new devices and improve
ments In method which have cheapened
the cost of production. That the nation
is now at the highest point in it's history
is clearly shown by many facts, of
which the course of prices is most con-
Niucng Quotations do not rise when
there is any lack of buying power in the
community, but when full employment
at unprecelentedly high wages makes
1t possible to crafty all desires for
creature comforts the accelerated de-
mand forces prices steadily upward.
In explanation of rising quotations ii
has been stated that short crops and re-
duced production are responsible. As
a matter of record, the corn crop alone
of all the great staples will fall far be-
low 1897. The wheat yield is at the
maximum point and about double that
of 1897 Tho the cotton crop Is below
the high total of 1899. it is two million
bales greater than in 1897. The wool
clip is also greater. but the record
breaking imports of 1897 under the last
year of the Wilson tariff were more
than double any year since. OF pig iron
and finished steel all former records are
being surpassed; the quantity of coal
mined Will reach new high water
mark, while the output of footwear and
all other leading products OF manufac-
ture is attaining unparalleled propor-
tions. Yet is urged that the present
overtaxea situation at shipping points
is due to the large combinations which
restrict output in order to sustain
prices. The absurdty of this state
ment is made apparent by every trade

rise of railway earnings and fequent

FRAUDS IN MARYLAND.


Maryland, has given out a statement in
which he reviews the conduct of the
election in his state. He directly
charges the democratic management
with the preparation of the grossest
frauds. If his statements are We'll

on the democracy. After referring to
the sweeping republican victory in
Baltimore City, he goes on to say:
Never has the republican party

5000 were white republicans. The task

When the polls closed we had won a

had carried the state by 5000 or 10000
majority. If all the votes honestly cast

in the state, we would have added to

The senator then entiTsrates the bal
lots thrown out in the various coun-
ties, many of which had been marked
before they reached the hands Of the
judges. In Anne Arundel 70 per cent
of the ballots thrown out were republic

marked before the voter received them.
The democratic watcher, posted in ad-
vance, watched for these marks. which
were very faint, and when, it was AL

The senator then goes on to say:

Judge Wlest Sees No Reason to Con-
tinue Maynard Case.

Lansing, Mich, March z3.-Circuit
Judge West handed down an opinion
of considerable length Friday after
noon, denying the motion OF ex-Atty.'
Gen. Maynard for a continuance or his
case, which is set for April 2. The
opinion states that the respondent was
indicted in December, 1899, and his
case has been on the calendar for fve
terms, and, while it rs true that this Is
his first application for continuance,
il is also true thai if he had been
ready for trial at previous terms, he
has made no demand Of the court FOR
a trial. Judge West states that the
court rule provides that no applica-
ton for continuance shall be made az
ter the first LAY of the term, except
for good cause shown. The applica-
ton was made March Is, and the term
opened March /. The reasons, the
court says, for continuance, If sufii-
cient, have existed since last Deem
Der, and must have been known to the
respondent since the opening of the
term. The opinion declares that courts
have always held that the absence OF
attorneys is not sufficient ground foi
continuance, especially where there is
competent associate counsel, as in this
! case.
Referring to the respondents state
ment that ex-Atty. Gen. Moses Tag
CART Of Grand Rapids, whose absence
was the basis of the application fol
continuance, is not only his principa
attorney, but also material witness
the court says that there has beer
no showing that he is material wit
ness, or that the case cannot safel.
proceed without him. Further thar
this, the opinion states that Mr.. Tag
CARTS testimony might have been sc
cured by deposition before he left tn
state. and the AFFIDAVIT makes no a
legation that the same facts cannot b
proven by others. Judge West cor
cludes with the statement that tn
respondent cannot urge his own lac
of diligence as a reason for delay.

pany, finding for the complainant.
The concluding paragraphs of the
opinion. are as follows:
IL think the equities are with the com

record | think the complainant has the
right to have the contract rescinded.
The defendant must take the boat, Darius
Cole, back and must take her from the
port of South Haven, and must refund
the $4,000 paid, with interest at fiv9per
cent from the 18th of September, 1899
and he should also deliver up the notes
to be Cancelled; he should discharge the
mortgage and should pay complainant
S1,770 insurance, $500 taxes, Si23, the
cost of laying up the boat for two seasons
| do not think the complainant should
recover anything further There is moth
ing in the contract, letters or interviews
that would warrant complainant in tell
ing the public by way of advertising tina
the boat would carry 1000 passenger
and run Is miles an hour, and for Thu
extravaganza advertising the defendan
should not be compelled to pay, and tn
item of $1,000 is therefore disallowed
Complainant must have its costs to b.
