conflicting ESTIMATES
Of DAMAGE To TRUCK

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 9-Estimates
are conflicting in regard to the extent
of damage to the early vegetable crop
caused by the cold wave that invaded
the state Saturday morning.
In nearly all truck farming districts
the young plants were in cold frames,
and the freezing temperature has un.
questionably caused some damage. 1t
is not believed, however, that it will
be of sufficient seriousness to redu 70
acreage. The truck growers say they
would far prefer a cold snap now to
a similar visitation thirty days hence.

Ohio State Journal.

We note the tariff is blamed
for a part of the responsibility of
this extraordinary crash. The
reports from New York say that
the diminished value Of goods on
hand, as affected by the tariff,
has caused the firm a loss Of q
million dollars. This seems to be
an explanation that does not ex-
plain. A firm with $44. 600. 600
of assets could stand a loss of a
million without serious impair
ment. And yet we believe that
the tariff is very largely to blame
for this failure. The plain truth
about it is that the Claflin fail
ure is due to the inability of the
country to buy and pay for what
it buys. This state of affairs is
directly traceable to the revised
tariff law. Between two and
three million men are out of en-
ployment. That means that the
families Of this many men are
either buying on credit or are not
buying at all. At any rate, the
flow of wages has decreased
twenty-five to thirty millions per
week, because of this army of
unemployed men. and the flow
of wages has decreased as much
more through the short hours of
the men who are employed. All
of this has diminished the Amer
lean ability to buy and pay for
what it buys. 1t shows its reflex
in the mercantile world, and the
Clafin failure is a very striking
example of the misfortunes
wrought by our changed econo-
mic policy. Marion CO., Star.
