RETAIL. PRICES.

According to a statement OF the la
Dor department wholesale prices or
food stuffs declined during the pas
month some eight and one-half pei
cent and retail prices about three pei
cent. Neither decline represented
anything like the depreciation in the
prices of products sold from the
farms in that period.
In the dry goods and clothing lines
the retailers have reduced their prices
id. accordance with the declines of the
manufacturers and wholesalers as a
general proposition. In many instanc
es the retailers have actually antici
pated the declines OF manufacturers
and wholesalers, and have made re
auctions not justified by the immediate
wholesale prices at which replace
ments could be made.
But it has been noticeable here and
elsewhere that the consumer OF food
stufYs has not benefited hardly at all
from the big decline in the prices OF
farm products. This is especially true
OF the vendors of meats and the pro-
ducts OF meat animals. There has
been a, decline in lard, but in fresh
meats aud many OF the varieties OF
the salt meats the decline has been
hardly appreciable. 1t costs just about
as much now to procure roast or
steak or chops or outlets as it did
when the farmers were getting some
thing approaching the cost of the pro-
duction of their meat animals.
There should not be a sudden or pre-.
cipitate decline from the high levels OF
the post war period. 1t has been ex-
ceedingly unfortunate that farm pro-
ducts have tumbled as they have. A
gradual REIMBURSEMENT to lower levels
would have been much better for the
country, for all lines of business. But
the retailers Of food stuffs must fol.
low the example of the dry goods, the
clothing and the furniture retailers
and make reductions in proportion as
the Wholesale cost is reduced. Be-
cause food, is necessity and there
can be no cessation upon the part Of
the public In buying it affords no rea-
son for profits that do not correspond
with others in similar lines of bust
ness.

REPUBLICAN PROGRAM.

If the republicans of Tennessee are
really sincere and will stand by their
declaration of policy adopted at the
leaders conference held in Nashville
last week, Tennessee is not going to
suffer by reason of the election of a
republican administration. If the
states interests are made superior
to every personal ambition or party
consideration and Gov. Taylor's adj
ministration will cooperate with all
citizens who earnestly seek the wei
fare of the state, there should be a
better era in Tennessee. There should
really be no partisan politics in the
next legislature. The governor-elect's
offer through his party associates to
cooperate in the advancement of all
the states interests should be ac
cepted by the democratic majority in
the legislature. BY an overwhelming
majority the people Of Tennessee have
called ALI Taylor to the highest office
in the state. But for the unfair meth
cd pursued in creating the legisla-
tive districts the legislature would be
republican in both branches. There
fore the democratic majority in the
senate and house has no sort of war
rant from the people to play partisan
politics.
Tennessee needs rest from faction
al and partisan agitation in its pub
lie affairs. The folks are pretty we'll
surfeited with politics. They would
welcome an agreement between the
democratic and republican leaders to
reach an armistice during the coming
legislative session and make the
states advancement the one consid-
Grafton for all legislation The repub-
lican leaders may have adopted their
high sounding resolutions of self and
party abnegation with some Interior
purpose in view; politicians are not
always to be trusted too far, but at
least we should accept what the re-
publicans say until there is some
proof of their lack of sincerity. 1t
will at least do no harm to meet them
half way in any enterprise that may
rebound to the honor and glory and
progress of our commonwealth.

FARMERS FUTURE,

Out of the discouragements of the
past year the farmers should be able
to look forward to brighter future
With the reimbursement of all prices
to lower level and that Is coming
rather more rapidly than Is good for
us, the farmers will find the same
profit in growing crops with smaller
value than he enjoyed in the boom
days during and just following the
war If the prices of labor and ma.
terials which he must buy to make his
crops sustain, as they will, the proper
tionate decline in values that have
overtaken his crops he is going to
find the balance just about as it was
when all prices were trying to reach
the skies.
The farmer is engaged in the basic
industry of the nation. He is produc-
ing the one indispensable necessity of
life, food, and is assured of a mar
ket regardless of what fate may befall
other industries or interests. Remem
herring these things he should not be
discouraged, but make solemn reso-
luton to make the very best effort
possible that nature may respond with
her most bounteOus yields. The fall
in. the value of his lands should not
greatly alarm the farmers Only those
who are heavily involved in debt, who
have purchased land at inflated val
ues and made only small payment
thereon, need suffer any LOSE of sleep
because their acres do not count for
as much on the farm inventory as
they did year or two ago.
1t matters not at what prices he
may sells his surplus the farmer who
does not speculate, who attends strict
ly to his job as producer and grows
all that he can at home remains the
most independent business man in
America. Perhaps too many farmers
have become specialists, they have
grown to depend too much on one crop
or one sort of live stock Maury coun-
ty is admirably adapted to general
farming. Grain and grasses and live
stock of all kinds, poultry of all kinds,
dairying, all of these branches of
farming prosper amazingly in our soil
and climate. The general farmer who
takes advantage of the situation and
does not put all his eggs in one bas.
ket can face the future with serenity.
