CONSUMER DEMAND ON FARM
PRODUCTS EXPECTED TO HOLD

Consumer demand for farm pro-
ducts is expected to be relativel,
stable during the next few month,
and probably for the remainder OF
1897. the bureau OF agricultural eco.
Monies said today. Tft bureau
based its current outlook on a re-
view Of business conditions affect
ing farm purchasing power.
In several important industrie~
output continues will in excess OF
new business. but backlogs of orderc
may be sufficient to keep them 60
ing with little more than the usual
summer recession until a larger
volume of new orders is received -
For the remainder of 1887. relatively
little change in industrial activity is
expected. At the same time. the bu-
reau expresses little doubt that the
United States is still in the "advan-
cling phase" of the business cycN
and believes that sooner or later
'the upward movement which has
characterized most of the period
since 1888 will be continued
Since consumer incomes and the
demand for farm products fluctuate
less than industrial activity, nc
reason is apparent at present to
expect any major changes in do
mestic demand until 1888.
1t was pointed out that the ef-
feets of large crops on business
activity may be over emphasized
since the increased business for
transportation. processing. and mar
keting agencies may not be large
In relation TO total industrial ac-
tivity, and farm incomes may not
be increased as much this year as
in other recovery years. A more
even geographic distribution of farm
income than in the drought years,
however, will stimulate farm buy
ing, II was stated.
Wholesale prices of farm products
were reported to be slightly below
the recent high point in mid June,
while wholesale prices in non-agri-
cultural products have generally
increased" Changes in market pri-
ces for farm products from mid
July to mid-August indicate that
the general level of farm prices
has declined slightly.
As the result of prospective
strengthening of world markets the
bureau expects higher domestic
wheat prices within the next few
months. unless present prospects

$500 REWARD
AWAITS TRIO.
FOR CAPTURE.

A $500 reward posted 10 years
ago by c. C. Young. then governor
of California, for the capture and
conviction of a murderer. never
was collected by four Imperial
county officers who captured the
man convicted and sentenced for
the crime.
In rearranging the files at the
county clerks office, Deputy Coun-
ty Clerk Genevieye Kenyon found
the reward notice with its great
gold seal of the state of California
and duly signed by Young. She took
the document to County Clerk w
]. McClelland and asked if he knew
whether the reward had been paid
McClelland said it certainly hao
not been paid as he was one of the
deputy SheriffS who captured Rain
Y Morrison in a tent house three
miles southeast of Calipatria Sept
ember 81. 1927 Morrison was con-
yieted of the crime and sent to San
Quentin for 25 years McClenand
knows he still is in the penitentiary
because he talked to him early this
spring.
Bert Underwood, then undersher-
iff; and McClelland. T. M. SHARP
and Ike Holmes. deputy sheriffs
at that time, were the arresting
officers.
The reward will be collected by
the four officers unless it was post
ed for a man named Easton, whom
Morrison accused of the murder.
Easton never was found They are
all busy trying to find out how
much each will get and if they can
collect interest from the state.

for a small world production are
revised upward materially or Euro
pean buying does not pick up az
much as is now anticipated" Dur
ing the past month world wheat
production estimates have been re-
vised upward by 81 million bushels
and carryoyer stocks by Is million
bushels. The world crop. excluding
Soviet Russia and China. is now
estimated at 3,777 million bushels
Or 240 million bushels larger than
the 1886 crop. The larger produc-
ton is offset, however. by carry
over of about 245 million bushels
less than last year
1t is believed that oats and barley
prices have about adjusted to
new-crop basis. Fluctuations in
corn prices are expected to contin-
ue for the next few months. 4. Flax
seed prices are expected to re-
main near the present high level
during the rest of 1897. The to-
bacco price outlook is fairly good"
for most types, and opening prices
have been closely in line with those
of last year.
The bureau believes that the low
er corn prices and the higher hog
corn price ratio will cause hog
producers to feed heavier weights
and thereby delay marketings, but
the seasonal price decline this fall
is expected to be about as great as
usual because storage demand may
not be as great. Prices of the
better grade of slaughter cattle arc
likely to continue through early
fall at least. it was said, at or near
the present relatively high levels. :"
With much smaller numbers of cat
tie on feed in the Corn Belt. mar
ketings of we'll finished grain-feo
cattle are expected to be much
smaller than usual. =. 1t is believed
that prices of lambs and of WOO
will remain near the present lepels
during thenext few months.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
A GRAND OPPORTUNITY PASSED UP

When the sit-down strikes started breaking out
in various parts of the country year or more ago,
there was made available to President Roosevelt a
grand opportunity for real service to the nation as
a whole.
But he let il pass by AS a result, strikes have
increased, damage has been done to property, lives
have been taken and many thousands Of people are
unemployed.
"But what could the president have done about
it," you may ask.
Simply this: He could have issued statement
from Washington to the effect that he was friendly
to labor He could have pointed to innumerabe
things in his past record to bear out that fact.
And then, he could have added that sitdown strikes
were contrary to the principles of Amercanism
that men had the right to strike if they desired
but that they had absolutely no right to seize
property which was not theirs. He could have
made it plain that while Labor had rights, Capital
also had rights, and that it was the duty OF the
government to see that the rights of both parties
were protected. He could have made his position
in this matter so clear that there would have been
no misunderstanding about it.
If he had done So we believe that labor condi-
tons throughout the United States today would
have been 100 per cent better off than they now
are We believe that much of the unrest which now
exists would have come to an end long ago ana
that the relationship between Capital and Labor
would have been tremendously improved.
But the president didn't do so. He kept quiet
on the sit-down strike His attitude gave Labor to
understand that he did not intend to oppose them
in the steps which they were taking, so they have
promptly proceeded to reach out much farther than
they originally had intended
In other words while comparisons are odious,
we can't help but wish that President Roosevelt
had been as courageous in this matter as our own
Governor Hoey few weeks ago.-State Mag

wpA WORKERS MAKE DEMANDS

Every once in while the news comes from
metropolitan areas that WPA workers and other
benefciares of governmental assistance are organ
izng to resist what are termed unfair" policies.
We have all the sympathy in the world for per-
sons who have had to depend upon the federal gov
ernmenr for chance to work but we have no SYM
patty whatever with their assumption that what
the government began as relief effort must be
operated under conditions and upon terms outlined
by the benefciaries of the undertaking.
When the government went into the business
of relief" it was feared by many observers that it
would have difficulty in terminating the expert
ment as economic conditions improved. This, it
seems will be the case but there is no basis for
believing that relief projects should be permanent
in the United States.-Marion Progress.

THE PRESIDENT KNOWS

An official of the post office department says
that it is not necessary to direct to the presidents
attention the complaint against post office for
refusing to forward parcel post to persons in a
strike bound factory.
1t is easy to believe that it is not necessary, for
the president already knows. His secretaries read
the newspapers for him and tell him many things
he does not know officially. 1t is the business OF
the post office department to assure that the mails
shall go through whatever the conditions.
The postal authorities boast of their record in
getting the mails through storms and floods,
through blizzards. The theory is that any person
who interferes with the mails or the movements
of the mails is in peril Of his liberty. The presi-
dent knows these things and he knows what Grover
Cleveland did when the movement of the mails was
in jeopardy -Charleston News and Courier.

PUBLIC is FED UP"

Contributor to the Detroit News col
umns, who belongs to that vast class of
Americans commonly spoken of as 'the
public, makes practical suggestion.
Speaking for millions-at least, speaking
the sentiments of millions-this correspon-
dent is evidently thoroughly 'fed up" on
the tactics and practices of radical labor.
His suggestion is that the public boycott
the products of manufacturers employing
CIO labor. ....... 30. ct. .....
Another suggestion, along similar lines,
indicating how people throughout the
country are getting together in their think
ing about these matters, was made to The
Times-News by prominent North Caro-
linian. This gentleman stated that in view
of the fact that strikes are so common and
popular, all the manufacturers of the coun-
try ought to go on strike, close all indus
tries indefinitely and let all the employees
90 on '"relief." Ia. i,
Both of these proposals may be classed
as extreme; but they clearly and. forcibly
express the views of millions of American
citizens. They have allowed existing con-
ditions to continue about as long as they
propose to do, without adopting methods

INDUSTRY LOSES GROUND IN
CAROLINAS

The Greenville Piedmont and The New
berry Observer are concerned about the
course of industrial development in South
Carolina. Here is the States record of in
dustrial losses in the past five or six years
"D The state has 10 fewer textile plants to-
day than in $780,
"(2) OF all the industrial building in the
South in the first four months of this year, only
1t per cent was in South Carolina:
"(3) There are 26 fewer lumber plants here
now than in 1881;
800 Cottonseed oil plants have declined in
number by nine in the same period; and
"(5) The total decrease in the number of in
dustries in the period has been ST."
A decrease of 81 in the number of in
duStries in a small State, with limited
industrial development, is sufficiently
grave problem to arouse not only the press
meaning of this trend.
The Newberry Observer offers as rea-
sons for this industrial decline in South
Carolina
High Taxes, High Freight Rates, Threats
of Adverse Legislation, and Decreasing In
vestments in Industry. ....
South Carolina does not stand alone in
the particulars referred to. We do not
have the statistics at hand, but as we re-
member them, they show that North Caro-
lima has a smaller number of industries at
present than were operating here several
years ago. 1t is true few new industries
have been located in this State during
these years, but it is clear that there has
been net loss by discontinuance of opera
tons, consultations and removals.
That Industrial development should take
this course in a section of the nation that
is undoubtedly the most inviting field for
these operations to be found in the whole
of the United States, supplies a problem
for most serious consideration.
The Times-News knows of at least one
large industry that did not locate in North
Carolina in recent months on account of
the States tax laws and policies. This in
dustry found more favorable conditions in
this particular in an adjoining State.
All of which, and much more, can be
summed up in saying that unreasonable
taxation and oppressive legislation will do
a certain and successful job in tearing
down industry and general business and in
preventing industrial growth and business
expansion.

Observation-Disclosures John
" Hamilton of the Republican
National Committee has gone
abroad TO study European political
methods.
Possibly that sounds rather pc
culiar to anyone who remembers
all that was said IN the last cam
paign, and none too quietly
either, about the american way"
and the New Deals importation of
foreign ideas. .. r...
Hamilton, however, is just being
smart.
He is going TO study the meth
DDS and setup of the Conservative
party in England and, as far as
your correspondent can learn,
that's all. The British ConServa-
tiveS were out of power for about
20 years before they outSmarted
the Liberals and LaboriteS and
regained control. In the mean
time, their workers infiltrated in
the trades union field, and the
party took over many labor ideas,
platform plankS and leaders.
THERE have been indications
l. that the party management
has been making some effort to
liberalize the party from within.
This movement is an attempt to
steer the G. o. P. on path of in
telligent conservatism which will
nave enough liberal aspects to WOO
back a few million votes. There are
still plenty of wealthy Republic
ans however, who don't'get the
point s..
The recent series of four Re-
publican half hours on the radio,
with Hamilton and members OF
Congress delivering speeches re-
rreShingly free from vituperation
against the administration, sug-
gcsted the presence of some new
ghost writers. . ..
It's worth noting that two able
and keen-minded newSpapermen,
Leo j. Casey and William Hard,
are now attached to the commit
tee, one as publicity director and
the other as assistant to Hamil-
ton in charge Of radio. -

more vigorous and effective than writing
to the newspapers or talking about it.
One of these fine days the great Amer-
can public will touch off a bomb under
radical labor organizations and the an
archstic conditions they have created in
this country; and a similar dose will be
applied to certain politicians and to gov
eminent that has failed.
The American public is long suffering
and slow to anger, but once thoroughly
aroused it is certain the shameful condi-
tons existing in many sections of the ma
ton will be speedily righted.
