Porhsps Mr. Hughes intends to tend hi* telegram of congratula
tion to President Wilton u a Christmas present.
The capture of Mooastir caused quite a stir, judging froca aot&e of
the glaring headlines that appeared in the papers.
The Republican* thought that they were going to pot oae over on
the Democrats is the Tenth District, thinking perhspa that the latter
were ? sleep on the job. The Democrats however, are on to the triaks
of the Radicals and in thia instance the trick that they endeavored to
turn acted aa a boomerang. ? New Bern Sun Journal.
In other words, we suppose that the Tenth District will go to the
party that can steal with the greatest skill. So far the Detnocrata in
the Tenth appear to have the advantage in this respect.
PROSPEJUTT,? A MeJIaCB.
The United States at the present time is enjoying what people are
prone to term "the greatest or* of prosperity that the country has
ever known.
The farmer? are petting better prices fihan ever before for their
crops, the various manufacturing plants are selling their output at a
big increase over those prices in effect a few years ago and the re
tailers are also selling their goods at a much higher figure.
We are enjoying "prosperity," it is true. But it is a prosperitj
that is unsound, unstable and that will play havoc in our land unless
some radical changes are made in the near future. It is the proa
perity of the PRODUCER, and not the CONSUMER 1 The greater
tho prosperity of the first ; the greater the poverty of the seoond. And
the big majority of our population is composed of consumers.
The great European war ia the principal cause for our "great ern
of prosperity." Before the war started the events of the world wen
moving along a channel that had been made through countless ages
Each country knew just how much food, clothing and manufactured
goods it produced and how much it consumed. If the production was
greater than the conaumption, the surplus was sent to some other coun
try. There was little change, excepting the natural increase due to
a larger population. Any nation could estimate with accuracy the
extent of its resources. And with these conditions in effect, with a
normal demand and a normal supply, there was also a normal price.
But the war has changed all this ? as far as the European nations
and tho United States are concerned. France, England, Italy, Rus
sia and tho other countries are now calling upon us to supply them
wirh the food, clothing and other products that they are unable to
provide for themselves. Their farms and their factories are, for
ti?e greater part, idle.
We proceed to help them. We turn our manufacturing plants into
munition mills, which proves to bo a more profitable avenue of busi
ness. We send over ship load after ship load of wheat, of corn, of
meat, of clothing and everything else that the warring nations are
socking. Wo get a higher price for these abroad than we do at home,
so we have no hesitancy in shipping as fast as vessels can be secured
to carry the cargoes.
And what is tho result? Our resources for home consumption are
greatly reduced. And this can result in only one course ? the raising
of prices. The longer the war lasts and tho more we send to Europe,
the higher will go the prices and the more critical will our condition
become. Just how much more of it we can stand remains to be seen.
Millions of our people ? especially those in crowded cities ? are suf
fering because they have not the money to meet the ascending scale
in the cost of the life's necessities. The future holds a sinister aspect
for us. If prison t conditions are allowed to continue there will be
riots, panics, labor wars and other disturbances. Our prosperity
bids fair to become our ruin I
THE GEORGIA WAY.
At fchO' instigation of the doorgia Chamber of Commerce, the Leg
islature of Georgia has set apart the 18th day of November of each
year aa Georgia Product* Day. On this day the people of Georgia
are expected to dine on Georgia products exclusively an nearly as
practicable, and the Governor of the State has issued a proclamation
calling the attention of the people to the action of the Legislature and
requesting a general observance of the day. It is pointed out that
the value of this movement lies in the awakening of Georgia to a
larger and more varied production of food crops, in view of the fact
that the cost of food supplies has reached an unusually high price
at this time, making it a matter of serious oonoern that the people
gro* larger adpplies at home.
The proclamation of Governor Harris lays particular street on tho
importance of a general observance of the Georgia Products Day of
tho present yoSfr. It is stated that general co-operation in the plan
ia already sssured, and the celebration of the day in mtmi places
will be in the nature of a public Georgia prodncts dinner, the menu
to be composed entirely of Georgia products, many communities at
tempting to stirre only those products grown in their immediate vi
cinity.
Prises are offered for public dinners, hotel dinners, home dinners
and domestic science class dinners,
Only one official dinner is allowed in each community, authority
to hold up an official dinner being granted npon application to the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce. In some communities the local
Chamber of Commerce will give the dinner and in others the wo
men's clubs, in many instances the domestic science department of
the Girls' High School, in order to demonstrate their ability along
this line.
