Is THE BALANCE RESTORED

Ths peineipal reason for the dspres-
sieu prevailing through ths pear 1891,
vas that ths priees Of farm products
had fallsn % much mere than prices
Of factory products, that ths fa1msrs
and farm workers could not buy fac
tory .Gtn3. Heneo IL factories ran
irreGulariy or shut down.
The principal reason why factory
produets did not fall - far ~ farm
products, was that they were still pay
ing pretty nsarly wartime wege1. II
Vas ipsvitabls, therefore, either that
farm products would hsvs 10 90 high

that BY widespread efforts to market
their stuff co-operatively, they may
be able to secure larger proportion
Of ths price paid By the consumes,
