There is no use in trying to mail

There is no use in trying to main= tain prices for anything of which more is produced than there is demand for. The price may be held Up a,ti- ficially by not selling for less than a stated price when one does sell, but the thing resolves itself into the con ditfon of not selling at all at least a part of the stock This means that the f5-cent price is an easy matter, but at the same time it also means that you can plant so much more cot ton than ought to be planted that there will be a surplus on hand even if 15 cents be the price at which sales are made.

If there Is a chapter anywhere in the book of nature that justifies hu- man society in letting one man so manipulate the ground that he can sit down in idleness and live on the fruits of another mans labor. we would thank some one to point out that chapter. We contend that nature has never written such a chapter. Greed wrote it in the laws; selfishness sanc- tiens it; justice must repeal it. Farmers Journal.
