There has been much rejoicing over the-"return of" prosperity" as the result of the advance in the price of wheat and corn. There is reason ior the rejoicing because the bulk of the money which goes into the hands of the farmers goes out again in pay ment of debts or for something .the farmer needs, and thus others are benefitted as well as he, but there are two sides to the prosperity question, which should b'e considered by those I who think that high priced wheat means general prosperity and that it is going to make the couatry rich. If foreign "purchasers paid the in ;n ' an'i c. lnumid all um:g iii - that wrfsold that m'ght bi so, but as a matter ot tact me uuitt oi iuc. wheat crop, over two thirds of it, is rnntirm.-rl at home and our home people, although surrounded by aouuuaiicc, uiv: lu jujf Liuiupcou prices, or prices based upon the short crops and demfnds f other countries. , ' , . . ;' In this respect there is some re semblance between the advance in foodstuff prices, 'resulting from the demand, abroad, and the: prices of manufactured articles, resulting from the high, protective tariff. American consumers have not only to pay the higher prices on imported articles to offset the higher duties, but they have to pay proportionately higher prices on home manufactures, which go tip because there is no foreign competi tion to keep them down, and thus what the people pay in the increase of prices on home products is in-, comparably greater than the amount theypay on imported articles, be cause the volume of home products consumed is so much the greater. So with the volume f of foodstuffs. We export say about 200,000,000 bushels of wheat, for which our ship pers receive the foreign market. nncp. and we have to navr nronori tionate prices for the 400,000,000 bnshels consumed at home, ' which means that while foreign importing nations pay the increased J price on one-third of the wheat crop, home i i . i - consumers pay the increase on the other two thirds, which means that while, foreign purchasers (pay for one third of the 'prosperity" boom ourjown people ; who buy flour pay for the other two thirds, j ' There are forty-nine States and Territories. Oat of these only nine teen produce wheat"' enough to feed their own people. All the others have to buv more or less from them; put only a part! of the .people-in these have wheat of their own, so that " the others have to buy wheat from them and pay the (advance in price. A very larger percentage of the" wheat grownTs consumed in the States, and sometimes in the counties j where it is grown, so that the increased price' begins to strike right at home. Ot course this is to be expected for when there is an increase in the price of any article the consumer must pay it and when. there is an in crease in the price of wheat the bread buyer-must pay, more for his which is the sacde thing; . inis Shows that the "orosoeritv a. rf- . Tor-whichjhere is rejoicing idoes not Come from ahrnarl . hnr lain friknfa for the larger part of: the money which comes from it on the Ameri can people.' manv of whom receive no compensatory equivalent and consequently the prosperity which comes to the wheat sellerj Imposes, a heavier burden upon them. . ' ; None of tne Eastern, Middle or Southern States raise wheat enough to supply their own " needs; and are all buyers to. a greater or less extent from the nineteen States and Terri tories which do, and they all con- f riKnfa thai. n....l....i. . r .utii piuputiiuuaic pari OI pockets "of the wheat growers of those States and Territories, and mta tne pockets; ot the men who speculate upon the wheat. ' It wouldn't be so bad if it all went into the DOCketS of the farnnra tnr than - S - - - w, .w. VUbU more of it would go back into the channels of trade again. . While the farmers are to be con OTatulated noon, and mhr thw deserve the "prosperity" that is coming to them, a large advance in the price of any staple of food is not an unmixed cause for rejoicing, an less there is a Corresponding increase in wages and tn the earning capacity of tnose who have to buy foodstuffs, Otherwise the Amenc in workman is put precisely to the same predlca uicui. a hub nunmju OI IUC COUU tries wmcn nave to mnvr tir breadstuas, and where dear loaves follow short supplies. Money be comes "cheaper," that is bnys less while there is no mire ot it to buy with. The man who earns a dollar a day finds that he can't live any better on that than be coqld on sev enty-five cents a day beforebe high prices came. The only remedy for this state of affairs is an increase in the volume of money to stimulate industries, with increaseof wages, thus enabling the wagesdrner to meet the increas ed cost of living without feeling the burden. Then all might rejoice in the increased prices which bring prosperity to the farmer. motor mihtiob". .-. aaMaaStVS The lawyers who are defending Luetgert, the Chicago sausage maker now on trial for the murder of his wife, are making a hard fight for him, but unless the miraculous hap pens, his prospects for being hang ed are. nrettv cond. EverV da? the evidence which the State produces draws the rope tighter around his neck. There are two things only which could break the foice of the evidence already given one the ap pearance of the missing woman, the accounting for her whereabouts it alive, or for her death, if dead from any other thau the alleged cause, or proof of a jconsplracy by the police, (as intimated by the defence) to pro cure testimony by bribery to con vict; neither of which is likely to hap pen. The circumstances are all against the accused man from the start, for he concealed his wife's dis appearance and when it became known showed not the slightest con cern and made no movement for her discovery, thougn he asserts that she strayed off in a fit of insanity. Mo tive for getting rid of her is shown in the quarrels testified to, in his fondness for other women, and in the damaging letters produced in court written to one of. them from the jail since his wife's disappear ance, all of which show a motive be yond dpubt, strengthened by the finding of portions of a human body in the refuse removed from the rat in which he is said to have destroyed the body with caustic potash, and the rings the woman wore. If his lawyers can break that chain of cir cumstantial evidence they will do something bordering on the marvel lous, and even Luetgert, who spoke so contemptuously of them in some of his letters to Mrs. Feldt, will have to change bis opinion. Another significant proof of the progress which the South is making in the manufacture of steel and the confidence felt that steel can be made in this section at less cost than it can be Anywhere else was given in the press dispatch from Nashville, Tenn., published yester day, in reference to the movement to . draw the attention of the Gov ernment tp the facilities which the South offers for the manufacture of armor plate, with the assurance that the capacity of the blast furnaces at Birmingham is now more than suf ficient to turn oat all the plate the Government needs. It is a demon strated fact that .Birmingham is now making steel of approved test and quality for less money than it is made any wnere else in this country. This disposes of the question of the relative cost, so that the only re maining question is whether Bir mingham can do the wefrk with the guaranteed requisltes'as to the qual ity of the steel plates furnished, promptness of delivery, &c. Whether the committee referred to succeed in their efforts or not the movement by them gives proof of the confidence felt that Birmingham is forging to the front as a steel maker,land is go ing to get there. Thirty years ago Abram S. Hewitt, of New York, who was then visiting the Birmingham iron and coal district, predicted that there would be. the iron and steel manufacturing center of this coun try, a prediction to. the verification of which every day adds something. When a man puts himself up for a clown in a circus the bigger fool he makes of himself the more talent he shows and the better be pleases those who pay to witness his antics Bat the editor who plays the fool voluntarily or because it comes natural to him, or plays the fool be cause be takes it for granted that his readers are fools, does no credit to himself nor to them. . This is sug gested by the following bright speci men which we clip from the Hickory Press: ' . "History is repeating itself once more inrezarJto the tariff. Jait as soon as a high tariff law is pasted the products oi tne s mi and alio of onr skill advance, ana tne people are. prosperous and happy. Snonid we not cherish always these principles which restore pros- perlt?" j We reproduce1 this not tor com ment, for it is too idiotic for that, but to show the mental calibre of an organ grinder, and his estimate of the intelligence of the constituency he grinds for. Secretary Hester, of the New Or leans Cotton Exchange, thinks that with the cotton crop failare in India, and the good prices for wheat and other farm products in this country, which will enable the farmers of the West to 1)uy freely cotton growers can count on pretty fair prices for thehr cotton even if the crop be a large one. . j The New York Herald gently re minds the people ap there that when they call their lynching festivities off then it wil be time enough for scolding people in the South for indulging in that kind of thing.
