REANS.

The law of supply and demand has been trained to
lie down and play dead in the food market for so long
that it is slow TO respond to a change in the tone of its
masters voice. The supply OF beans-patrician now
Notwithstanding plebeian Originals become so strong
except in New England the cost consumers still repre-
sents war conditions. During the war it was decided
that by charging per pound instead OF the old-fashioned
quart, dealers could get a much better return for their
investment and thrift since there are almost two
pounds to the quart and two pounds at 10 cents per
pound was a clear gain on a quart at 10 cents, once a
standard price. When beans commanded II cents per
quart or 30 cents per pound there was enough incentive
for American growers and importers to expand the sup
ply in Yankee markets.
Extraordinary crops in 191s-19 did not prevent
artificial control Of markets and prices. although It was
not possible TO consume the output. In view of failure
TO provide additional storage space. holders of beans
tardily decided 10 allow prices to come down, the ordi-
nary retail cost was about double the charge of seven
cents a pound for army and navy surplus.
Stocks in storage are so heavy that farmers still
hold beans grown two and three years ago, which seems
to premise further drops. until one of the public's IA
vorites is again at something like its old standing. Ii
there is accuracy in the claim that what applies to
beans IS equally true of sugar. rice and canned goods in

WHERE DEFICITS ORIGINATE.

Just remember one thing-every appropriation
made BY Congress authorizes the executive departments
presided over by the President. TO expend not exceed
ina a specified sum. Congress sets a maximum init.
which the executive departments need not reach unless
they SO desire. The amount of expenditures, therefore,
IS determined by the executive departments. Moreover.
the records will show that In spite of the not exceed
ing" limitation, the departments have been spending
more than was appropriated and have been coming back

this Congress Is Republican, the Democratic press IS try

cord with the treatys provisions for such con ingencies.
