raised in relation to agricultural
products, but when it appears that
the farmers must take less of
manufactures in consequence, and
that employment in the factories
must be reduced, the advantage is
seen to be largely fictitious.
The world is passing out of such
a situation, and this is the chief rea-
son for confidence that it is enter
ing upon better times. Prosperity
is state OF balanced industry. with
production and prices so we'll ad-
justed that the exchanges are readily
made. This situation is more near
ly approached today than at any
time since the great disturbance oc-
Cured.
In short, with normal trade re-
lations between Europe and the rest
of the world in the way of being
restored, the equilibrium between
manufacturers and agriculture prac-
tically restored, with credit condi-
tons favorable to industrial expan-
sion, and confidence generally re-es-
tablished, the situation is poised and
ready for the development of all
round industrial activity. This coun-
try has passed through liquidation
and dcfation of prices. Some de-
gree of recovery from the low point
has been made, but it cannot be
said that any course of initiation has
been run since 1921, or that infa-
ton exists here in comparison with
prices or conditions in other coun-
tries.
Some Present Apprehensions
The apprehensions of those who
incline to pessimism do not impress
US under existing conditions. 1t is
said, for one thing, that the profits
of industry are unduly small. 1t is
true that profits have been low in
the past year, but profits Auctuate
with the state OF trade. Profits arise
from the relations between demand
and supply and the differences in
costs between competitors. When
trade slackens, profits tend to dis
appear for the marginal producers,
competition narrowing down to
hose operating on lower cost levels;
on the other hand, when trade ex-
pands and the production Of the
.igh-cost concerns is required, prices
rise to a level at which they can
operate and the profits of others in
crease. The fact that profits are
small is no sign that they are no<
going to be larger
1t is said that the present pros
perity in agriculture is due to ex-
ceptional conditions, and that next
year agriculture may be back in
the slough of despond. Possibly,
but the two greatest periods of
prosperity this country ever has
known. beginning in 1879 and 1893,
were inaugurated with similar con-
ditions in agriculture. to-wit: large
crops at home and short crops
abroad. Moreover. it is apparent

of good music was the concert given
Wednesday evening by the Peerless
Quartette at the Methodist Episcopal
church under the auspices Of the
Sunday school. Practically every
seat in the house was filled. There
was a varied program in two parts.
The first part consisted of planta-
ton melodies by the artists who were
dressed in plantation costume. The
latter part of the program consisted
of standard popular music consisting
of solos and uuartettes and readings.
The quartette were generous with
their encores and We're called back as
many as four times on one number
