AN OVERLOADED BOAT.
Altogether Too Many Passengers
Came Over in the Mayflower.

Whenever ! see fellow throwing
out his chest like pouter pigeou
and Dragging because he thinks his
ancestors came over on the Mayflow-
en- it always causes me to break
forth in a loud, vulgar chortle OF
mirth - "haw w-haw-haw, Just like

intense amaZement and disgust, that
one OF my forefathers had been hung
In Germany for stealing horse aid
that another old geezer who had be-
longcd to my family had been tarred
and feathered and ridden on rail
out Of a French town for desartion
from the army Not only that, but this
chap who was engaged in the task
of looking up my ancestry went care
fully over the passenger list of those
who sailed on the Mayflower, and he
found that no member of my family
was on deck when the boat left the
dock.
This investigator gave me this in
formation gratitously, and it was so
we'll established by proofs that | have
never from that day to this talked to
anybody, even in a whisper, about mJ
ancestors coming over on the May
flower In fact. when the subject IS
broached | always try to change the
conversation to the topic Of crops or
politics. or to some other subject
which interests me You Will nov
readily understand why | always burst
the buttons off my waistcoat with
laughter when I hear folks Dragging
about their ancestors coming over on
the Mayflower--it simply makes me
whoop for joy.
Did you ever pause in your ances-
tor four-flushing to compare the ca.
pacity of the Mayflower with the num-
Der of people who boast that their an
cestors came over on board her? The
Mayflower, you know, was not very
big vessel, and if as many people
came across aboard her AZ We mast

every day, you can bet yO19 sweet

The rigging was full of hauSers-on,

wages and TO keep down the prices
OF provisions. Political economists
have written at great length on
these subjects, but the Michigan
representative has probably come to
the conclusion that The masses are
not very familiar with the efforts
o. our ancestors to protect them
selves from the operations of the
law of supply and demand. At all
events, Mr.. Hamilton says:
I'm the reign of Edward III they
PASSED the statute of laborers, which
undertook TO regulate wages and
prices of foJl. In the same reign
they undertook to define by law
what men should eat and what they
should wear. In the same reign
they passed laws about engrossing,
fcrestalling, regrating, and badger
ing by which buying and selling at
" holesale and holding for a rise
was made crime, and they were
repealed in the reign Of George III
because they discouraged growth
ard enhanced prices
Edwar, III reigned in the Four
tcenth century, so it is fairly evi-
dent that law was given a good
long trial as a regulator Of prices,
and with such poor results that 1t
was found to increase them and
lessen production. But the English
were a stubborn race and they stuck
to their statutory control cf labor
and prices for about four hundred
years it took them, and the rest OF
the world, too, for that matter. a
long time to learn that wages and
prices constantly tend to De self
adjusting Nhen there is no mterfer
ence upoi the pat of the at1ir. 'an
tnuia; his researches, Mr.. HamIl.cn
says:
"a ne .eign of Edwa"l " they
tried to define by law the length
and breadth of cloth to be sold. In
the reign of Edward vi they passed
laws to punish 'victualers' who con
spircd to sell victuals too high, and
to punish laborers who had con
federated in respect to their work.
In the reign of Elizabeth they triet
again to fix by law wages accord
ing to plenty, scarcity or necessity
in respect to the times.
1t would be II great mistake tt
suppose that our colonial forefathers
were free from these ideas. They
were just like the rest of the worlC
in this respect and had abumlan
faith in the wisdom of laws to con
troll prices. In 1777 the Continental
congress recommended that the sev
eral states appoint commissioner
Ito regulate and ascertain the pric
of labor, manufactures, internai pre-
duce, and commodities importe
from foreign parts; also to regulat
the charges of inn-holders.' Seyera
Of the states passed such laws an
then repealed them, because, as til
governor of Rhode Island declared
they resulted in an almost entir
stopping of vending of the necess
ties of life" The truth of the MAJ
ter is that until Adam Smith wrot
his Wealth of Nations" all wer
utterly befogged on the subject q
