! from pain. We are afraid this kind
Of medicines and injections, such as
for instance all the different kinds Of
credits suggested, would have to be
continued so long that it would make
the American farmer confirmed
dope fiend. AS regards toncs of iic
right kind, as for instance coopcra-
! tive marketing, they are Of course a
fine thing for building up the system
they help considerably, there can be
no doubt about that, but they do not
remove the disease and until that is
done, tonics can have only limited
beneficial effect.
| We fear the case requires a surgi-
cal operation, the cutting off Of the
excess burden of taxes and interest
etc, especially of those which, in adj
dtion to his own have been passed
on. to the farmer by others and fas-
! tened on his back, and which are
crushing the life out of him. We refer
comparatively much higher prices
which the farmer has to pay for whaj
! ne has to buy, than he gets for what
he has to sell, because manufacturers,
merchants, banks, railroads, etc. all
tag their overhead expenses of taxes
and interest to their prices and charges
and these all land on the farmer as
the last man, who cannot pass them
on because his cost Of production is
not considered a price making factor
in the sale of his products.
AS far as we Know, the only way
in which this existing load can be
clade lighter is by going back again
some distance toward the lighter dol
lar of several years ago. 1t is easy
to see now that the weight Of the
dollar has been increased too rapidly
during the last two years, after it had
been made light, that is inflated, dur
ing the war. We must confess We do
not like the remedy, especially as one
operation usually leads to others be-
fore complete cure is obtained, and
sometimes the patients strength gives
out before that; we would therefore
like nothing better than the discovery
of remedy which will do the work
and is easier to apply; the fact that
the Washington conference did rot
bring out even a suggestion of such
remedy makes US therefore feel
rather discouraged.

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 5.-That 81
