DOES IDLENESS CAUSE IT 1
Mr. David Starr Jordan, President
of the Leland Sanford University in
California, has written an article on
, "Agricultural Depression and Waste
of Time" for the October number of
The Forum, in which he substan
tially takes the position that the de
pression complained of by farmers
is due more to waste of time and
idleness bv them than to anv other
cause.
We don't know whether Mr. Jor
dan has ever given much time to
plowing, seeding, harrowing, har
vesting, &c, but he is evidently one
of those peculiarly constituted men
who thinks he has made a complete
diagnosis of the farmer's trouble,
and thereupon proceeds to , prescribe
for him thus, in effect, "work more,
and stick closer to it." That has
the merit of brevity, at least, but
not of originality, for there are about
t"r.r.r tlinncan1 rl.r.-rc rrrK - frKinV
they have made the same discovery
and who prescribe the same remedy,
so that the learned gentleman who
r is going to preside over the big in
institution where the California and
other young ideas will learn how to
shoot big guns, so to speak, hasn't
made any discovery at all, but has
simply stumbled into the path that
these forty thousand other wise men
had discovered and meandered over
before he happened to strike it.
The fact is it has become sort of
fashionable among some writers and
talkers, who set themselves up as
public lecturers or educators, to tell
the farmer that all this agricul
tural depression of which he com
plains is his fault, and that, if he
got up and hustled, and crowded :
about twenty-four hours into sixteen
that he would prosper right along,
the old farm would boom, and he
and the old woman and the boys
and the girls would be "as happy as
'big ; sunflowers." As a general
thing, about all the familiarity these
gentlemen have with farming they
have acquired from the speeches
and reports of eminent farmers like
Uncle Jerry Rusk, and from look
ing, through the car windows as they
spin through the country and take
in the farms at the rate of forty
miles an hour. It was one of these,
very likely, who was admiring a
field of sorghum, which he thought
very fine corn, who was informed by
a farmer sitting near him that it
might be very fine corn if it didn't
have a constitutional objection to
growing ears. ' ' '
It may appear an entirely satisfac
tory reason to these writers- and per-
" haps conclusive to some of their
" readers when they find the cause of
agricultural depression in the jdle
. ness and the thriftlessness of the
- farmers, but it is not true all the
same. 5 In individual cases, it is
doubtless true, and it may apply to a
great many individuals, but in gen-
- eral "application it is not true, for as
a calling, there is no more industri
ous, or harder working body of men
in the United States than the men
whose wheat, corn arid cotton fields
feed and cloth the 65,000,000 of peo
ple in this country and help to feed
and clothe the populations of
some of the countries on .the
other side of the sea. The farm
ers ol, the Northern and Western
States, work more hours; in a day,
and stick closes to it from the time
the melting frost unlocks the soil in
the spring time until the frost locks
it as winter comes along, than any
other body of toilers in the land, and
it is simply nonsense to say. that as
a body they are, in the depression
which their business suffers, only
reaping the fruits of their own idle
ness. And so in the South. As a
body the farmers work as faithfully
and as hard as the men of any indus
trial pursuit.
If this has anything to do with
it the depression from which the far
mera suffer is . caused not
by too little, but, strange as
it may sound, by too much work.
Ic is caused by the low prices, ordi
narily, for the products of the farm,
low prices caused by raising to
much tor the market which our
formsre Votr tr cnnnlo". Tf thpr
were less raised there would be a
"more active demand and . better
prices,, the price increasing in pro
portion to the shortness of the sup
ply, so that if the farmer didn't work
half as mucb as he does, and didn't
raise half as much as he does, he
could get as good or better pay for-
one half his labor than he has since
this depression era began, gotten
for all of it. The farmer commits
errors, there is no doubt of that ;
he, with some exceptions, pur
sues -' methods that ' are not
remunerative, there is no doubt of
that; he gets into ruts that it seems
very hard to get out of, there is no
doubt of that; but if he does not
prosper and is sot getting rich, idle
ness is not the cause. There are too
many farmers in this country raising
food and cotton for the number of
people there are to feed and to
clothe, and the result is an over
stocked market and consequent low
prices, and then on top of this, out of
these low prices the farmer is re
quired to pay heavy tribute to the
protected manufacturers for the va
rious things he needs and has to buy.
That's where the trouble is, and not
in too much idleness.
KIXOB MENTION.
One of the cases which will come
before the present term of the U. S.
Supreme Court involves the legality
of the McKinley tariff act, growing
out of alterations in the act and
omissions by the engrossing' clerk,
which were not discovered until after
the act was signed by the President
and promulgated. One of the alter
ations affected the tobacco manufac
turers and dealers, and it is on this
tne issue is made, i he bill, afi it
passed Congress, "provided that the
internal revenue tax on tobacco
should be reduced and that where
old tax-paid stock was still unsold in
the hands of the manufacturer at the
time the law went into effect the man
ufacturer would be allowed a rebate of
the difference between the old tax
and the new. The engrossing clerk
left out this entire clause, and other
wise changed the meaning and effect
of the act. Before the adjournment
of Congress the omission was dis
covered, and a special act was pass
ed to remedy the defect, but
other changes were not disc
rered
until Congress had adjourned Man
ufacturers and dealers whose in
terests are affected have appealed to
the Supreme Court todeci

The Washington corresponden
say that President Harrison wilf i
in
his forthcoming message to Con
gress make sweeping recommenda
tion for reciprocity, which looks as
if Mr. Harrison had started out with
the deliberate purpose to steal
Blaine's thunder. But Blaine has
the bulge on him in that, for the
reading public knows pretty well
that neither Mr. Harrison, nor Mc
Kinley, nor T. B. Reed, - nor any of
the other high tariff boomers took
much stock in reciprocity, and that
it was only by persistent endeavors
that Mr. Blaine got them up to the
point of giving it respectful con
sideration. He smashed a ' silk
beaver and did a good deal of ani
mated talk which they feared would
give trouble before he succeeded in
getting his, -reciprocity ; proviso in

any opportunity that presents to let
the public understand that that is

The Trans-Mississippi - Congress
in session at Omaha last week con
tained about 150 delegates from the
different Western States on the Mis-:
sissippi river and its tributaries. The
object of the meeting was to con
sider commercial and other matters
pertaining to the West. Among the
resolutions passed was one favoring
liberal appropriations - for the im
provement ot the. Gulf harbors, and
one favoring the free coinage of sil
ver, limiting it to the product of the
American mines. This latter resolu
tion is significant, because there was
nothing of a political character
about the convention, it being com
posed of business men of different
callings and of different political
parties, and therefore more likely to
reflect the sentiments of the States-
or districts which they represented.
The resolution was discussed, but
finally passed by a vote ot 102 to
45, showing a vote of over two to
one for it, which would be about the
same proportion of the votes in the
respective States from which the
delegates came if the question were
submitted to the people.
STATE TOPICS.
The Supreme Court of the State
has recently rendered a decision of
interest to physicians and also to ven
ders of proprietary medicines. .At the
Spring terra, 1891, of the Superior
Court of Washington county, ac
tion was brought against L. W. Van
Doran for the statutory offense cre
ated by chapter 181 of the laws of
1889. The indictment charged him
with unlawfully practising and at
tempting to practice medicine and
surgery, without having procured as
required, by law, a license from the
Board of Medical Examiners of the
State of North Carolina, or showing
a diploma issued by a regular Medi
cal College prior to the 7th day of
March 1885, nor made oath that he
was practising medicine or surgery
in the State prior to the 7th day of
March, 1885, and not having ob
tained from the clerk a certificate of
registration. On trial he pleaded
that he had a dipldma from a Col
lege in .Cnicago which he had lost,
and that he did not come legally
under the classification of phy
sician in this State, as he
prescribed 'only proprietary rem-
ed es prepared and sold by him
self. It was shown that on several
occasions he had diagnosed cases,
claiming to be a physician, had pre
scribed for them and had agreed to
effect cures for a stipulated sum. He
was convicted and took an appeal to
the Supr me Court, which sustained
the decision of the lower court and
held the opinion that when a vender
of proprietary medicines "diagnoses
a case and prescribes for it that act
.in the eye of the law constitutes him
a physician, and brings him within
pale of the statute.

A RECKLESS HUSBAND.
Polled in an Apparent Attempt To Get
' His Wife Killed.
New York Tribute. ;., , .
He was a basMuL little man, but
his wife made up in weight and con
fidence a fair average, of the family..
They had driven out on St. Patrick's
Day to . see the parade. He , was
for hiring a quiet old horse and a
comfortable buggy, she insistecPon
taking-a spirited cob with a bobtail,
an bid dog-cart and russet-colored
harness.
On their way from the house to
one of the streets through which the
loyal sons of St. Patrick were going
to march the horse "gave-John con
siderable trouble to hold him in. ...
"What's the matter with you,
John?" she said sharply. "Let the
horse go a little, can t you? He
won't run away; You're not afraid
of -him, are you? If you are, I'll
drive myself."
John flushed uncomfortably,
braced himself firmly and let the
horse out. They had several nar
row escapes,-but arrived safe.
'I told you so," said she "A lit
tle derve is a good thing, especially
in a man.
John picked out a sheltered spot,
a little way from the line of march,
and pulled up there.
"Why, John, what are you stop
ping here for? We can't see any
thing here. Dnye right up beside
the line."
John bit his lip and drove close up
"You'd better not go so close
with that horse," said a policeman ;
"he's frisky and may get scared by
the banners. It would be wiser to
pull out a little."
John had just opened his lips to
say that he thought so, too, when
his wife interfered with: "Now,
John, don't let that policeman bullv
vou. Have a little spirit. Stav
right where you are. We've just as
much right here as any one. else
Stand up for your rights like a
man!"
So John stood.
When three men bearing the huge
banner in front of the procession ap
proached the horse he grew restive
and tried to back the buggy into the
crowd, but when the band came
crashing along he went fairly wild,
stood up on his hind legs, almost
turned around in the shafts, and it
took the united efforts of three men
at his head to keep him from wreck
mg the whole rig and running away
This caused considerable excitement,
but shrill above all the row was
heard the wife, now thoroughly
frightened, crying: "Oh, drive away
from that band, John. Get him out
of here quick. You're always so rash
with a horse. Why must you come
so close ? I do believe you would
like to see me killed! Oh! Oh!"
Then that brutal husband drove
away from there.
MAKING DANGEROUS.TESTS-
Ac English Lieutenant and Four Seamen
Bisk Their Live in an Experiment.
Experiments were made in a
creek jn Portsmouth haroor, Eng
land, the other day with a protected
boom invented by the naval commit
tee. The boom consisted of six
wooden baulks, one foot square and
forty feet long, arranged with the
ends toward the enemy. The spaces
between the beams were too narrow
to permit a torpedo vessel to pais
through. The obstacle was solidi
fied by ten steel hawsers mterwined
among the beams and tautly attach
ed to barges on either side. To pre
vent the impact of a torpedo boat
from dipping the boom and enabling
it to glide over, another 6-inch hawser
was suspended six feet above the
boom. The. beams were armed with
steel points and powerful spikes
shaped like bulls' horns. One of the
swiftest torpedo boats in the British
navy, the one lately commanded by
Prince George, was selected to at
tempt to pass the boom. The tor
pedo boat was encased in a super
structure rising in the centre and
sloping towards the extremities in
or order to carry the elevated haw
ser over the hull and prevent the
smashing of the funnel and torpedo
gear. The funnel was constructed
so as to fall back if struck.
A host of admiralty officials and
naval officers were present to wit
ness' the experiments. The tor
pedo boat selected, carrying a
lieutenant and four seamen, whose
lives . were insured by the ad
miralty dashed forward at the
speed of fourteen knots an hour,
striking the boon in the center. The
boat mounted the first fence strik
ing the boom amidships, but the
anchor gear became entangled .with
the overhead hawser and stopped
the boat. Even then the boat could
have discharged torpedoes, but she
was fatally criplped and remained
fixed to the beam. The bow com
partments filled with water, the bqat
having impined upon the iron horns
rand the bottom of the starboard side
was ripped open. The engines be
ing ripped open freed the boat, and
immediately rolled over on its star
board side. The crew then aban
doned her and she soon sank.

During the summer of 181 my eighteen months'
old'lnfant was so afflu ed with eruptions that ordi

On his hips would oftt;i appear the seeming track of
a linle w ire-like worM, .- u i on other parts of his body
he had pores to co: - fci A -emained until I procured
the Cm: ura REMi-; iEs. . or some time I used the
soap and salve with at a blood medicine, but they did
not do so well as t, hen Jl were used together. It
has now been nearly a year since the eruption was
healed, and I very much feared it would return with
the warm weither of this year, but he summqr has
passed and cat one sore has appear.. S -m him.
