B. Steele, Manager. -I !- ; j j For the Democrat. ! V 'i- :. Xjabor and Capital. I What is lalior and what ! is capital ? We are led to belive from that which is written and said in reference (to both that they are necessarily great ene mies to eacn truth they! are other, when Jin verv nearlv the same, ine want oi laoor win soon deplete capital. The me dium of exchange is the barter of the products of one class of labor for the products of another class of labor, and that bv which the standard of values is fixed we call money! Then money! is made the medium of exchange based on the value of labor and is the representative of accu mulated labor. He who hath much money, many dollars in Store, hath that which will command the ( energies both! of muscle and brain of him who' is not provided with the sinews of jwarfare against the destructive and consuming elements by Svhich mankind is surrounded and hath had: fto contend with ever since the fiat! was pro nounced, "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread." To overcome the to ease and inert forces natural barriers comfort certain were woven ! in man s verv nature, aiid enables him with delight to contend with whatever, seems to stand in the way of happiness. Hence the great pleasure men have taken in natural j science, and the application of steam and electricity by which the labor of man has been introduced and his comforts increased. So it is with all labor saving appliances and machinery which had their origin m the busy brain of m- ventive genius, none of which could have been brought so near perfection had it not been for the aid of capital which came to the rescue, and made speaking prophets of still born discover ies. Then why j should labor make war upon capital which is accumulated labor; j and why should capital oppress labor by creating artificial values by means of trusts and combines, and other means! not of kin to the golden rule. Why do labor ers strike and seek; to destroy that which their sweat hath cre ated. These are grave questions and should have a practical so lution by the repeal of all laws bv which tribute monev is taken from the many industries1 of the j countrv to foster and build up a few bloated industries and mo- nopolies. Then there is idleness which artectsi both labor and capital. Men who live bv their wits and deal in vam Org land in ways; t uit are dark do not add to the material prosper ity of our country. To jay value received for what weget in this world meaiis a great deal. Enough to enable the mortal to put on immortality by living in perfect harmony with the laws of God and man. The sweet singer of. Judea describetli a cit izen of Zion to be : one, possess ing other virtue, ";who puttetli not his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the in nocent." Then j the usurious and corrupt use of money makes a bad citizen here, and disqual ifies for citizenship ! in David's Zion the holy hill, the taber nacle of the Most j High. To be born to citizenship in such a country as ours imposes the highest tvpel of life, and the I most vigilant watch. Every voter at our frequent elections is placed j. on the walls of our Utopia to watch our liberties and direct our affairs. Then why. is it rewards are given to those who bribe the sentinels ? Let the modern Ananias answer why. J 7t be Continued. J Idaho cattlemen say the time has gone by for acquiring large fortunes by investments on cat tle ranges. They can hardly make a living as, the business now is, all the profits being ta ken from them by the "Big Four" at Chicago who regulate prices. i , - I "I Asheyille, X. C. Advantages of Properly Marketing" i Produce. j The Philadelphia Record has the following advice to farmers upon a subject to which The Democrat has several times ad verted, and whose importance to the fruit and produce growers of this section cannot be exag gerated. That paper sajys : " The proper condition of the article sent to market, ;and its appearance on arrival, is an im portant matter in securing tlie highest prices. One of the diffi culties encountered by commis sion merchants is the pro-per un derstanding by farmers of the quotations ! sent out by the mer chants, those having produce for sale always taking the higlij est prices as the! guide, and it sometimes! causes disappoint ment to the shinner when his articles fail to bring the highest ! prices quotea. .-s a rule tnere ; are both the lowest and hiirhest ' p'rices given, and the merchant ! cannot sell an article Hat the nigner ngure unless it is cnoice. All articles sent to market, vary in quality, and purchasers some times have a large supply from which to select. The greater the supply the more particular buyers become as regards qual ity, and for that ; reason the competition is often very close, causing ; fluctuations, and in ferior goods mut be sacrificed because the demand will only exist fori that which is good. This fact should jteach farmers the importance of estimating the expected receipts from the lowest quotations1 given instead of from the highest. I i IMPORTANCE OF GRADING. On every farm something better than the average quality of produce mav j be obtained, but there is also: more i or less produce that is inferior. In or der to dispose of all the good and inferior the whole is sent to market together. This occa sions a loss, as the inferior pro duce will affect the prices toj a marked degree, and lessen tne amount that would otherwise be obtained if al articles wej-e graded and shipped separately. It entails an increase in the cost of handling and transportation to send in bulk, without regard to qualityjas it is more econom ical to retain the: inferior1 arti cles on the , farm,? shipping onjy those that are choice, rather than attempting to increase the supply, and lessen" the demanf:l. by shipping all grades! in one lot. The receipts from choice articles will be more than from a mixture, and tlie farmer, if he will carefully "grade his articles, will, in a maioritvof Cfases, be well satisfied with from the merchant the returns QUALITY RULES Quantity does THE MARKET. not regulate ' the prices alone Should the 1 market be fulh upplied pur- chasers will continue to accept something betteit than that al ready in market J and will pay higher prices tnerefor. Quality rules in all transactions, and the farmer must keep this fact before him always if he expects to secure ai fair I profit Thou sands of tons of: goods are an nually sacrificed that would nave been more valuable. if kept away from market ; but there has never been a time when not bring fajr choice goods did prices, no matter how large the supply, it snouia, oe a rule witJi all shippers nevr to send any thing to market that is not of the best quality. It costs too much, proportionately j to re ceipts, to ship inferior produce, and, as quality regulates the prices, farmers should endeavbr to produce the best ohlv. and 1 T A 1 iVi !t 1 1 thereby secure profit.
