AN ALGEBRAIC EQUATION
Bismarck, N. E
Dec. 8, 1881.

Dec. 8, 1881.
Editor, Tribune:
A man cannot lift himself by his
bootstraps, neither can industry lift
itself out Of the quagmire of business
depression without taking hold of
sound economic principles. Here are
a few facts for the thoughtful. Deny
them if you can:
With an economic plan such as
ours all industrialS fall into two
groups: A and B.
"a is the group owning and con-
trolling most of the wealth of the
world. This group owns and controls
the manufacture and distribution Of
all commodities and controls the is
suance of all money which it initiates
and debates at will.
"B" consists of the rest Of the
world. and Is the producer group.
"A" annually buys from "B" its
grist of raw materials and labor for
a definite amount of money, say for
*" dollars, in which case tx dollars"
may be any amount Of money.
"a annually mills the grist it buys
from "B" which it in turn distributes
and sells back to "B" after taking out
all that it can consume, "B" being in
fact "A's' only market for such bal
ance.
Now, If "A" buys from "B" the an
nual grist for definite sum OF
say *" dollars, then *" dol
lars must be the total cash income OF
"B" for the year, and the maximum

holding hearing on the protests.
At q recent hearing, the commun-
tiles affected were unanimous that
the new train schedules were most
satisfactory. Up to April 26, the
schedule on the branch line consisted
of daily, except Sunday, passenger
service irf each direction and tri-week-
ly freight service in each direction.
Under the new schedules there is

service in each direction. =.

DISMISS PROTESTS

Residents Along Pingree-WiIton
Branch of N. p. Well
Satisfied Now

Protests against new train schedules
on the Pingree- Wilton branch of the
Northern Pacific Railway have been
dismissed by the state railroad COM
mission.
The present train service, which
became effective April 26, 1881, has
proved more satisfactory to the pa
irons of the railway than the service
in effect prior to that time, the COM
missions order says.
Numerous protests were filed with
the commission in April from CON-
munities along the branch. The
change was made effective so as to

Is being maintained at the recent
average.
Textile production is declining, re-
flecting the general desire Of mill
owners and traders to lessen inven-

On the Pacific coast, heavier sea-
sonal rains than in several years have
made the outlook for 1892 excellent.
