The Discontent Among Farmers. J. S. MITCHELL, HESFRRIAN SOCIETY. “Phe widespread discontent which has prevailed among the farmers of this coun- try for the past few years is not due te any one cause, but to a number of causes. Of the many causes which have each contributed their portion to swell the gen- eral discontent, a few are just reasons for ‘complaint. The remaindet—a much lar- 3 ger part—are but fancied grievances. ‘Let us glance at a few of those causes due largely to legislation. | “First, the abnormal development dur- ing and after the civil war.

Farmers who’ were at that ‘tintée!- realizing high prices. for their products: “ran in debt for more land, for buildings, _or for farm machinery. The man wher did this, practiced economy in ‘living® and was industrious, usually paid off ‘his: indebtedness in a few years; but the ‘man’ who lived luxuriously on the money | which should have. gone to pay his. debts, thinking at the time that he would =: be able to straighten it all-out in'the: near easily said than done. — (EE Prices which were high ‘on deconnt: ae the inflation of the currency, began: to. fall as contraction took place: | The. more: they fell the harder it became to- pay” ob the indebtedness. | Bs Thus we have a class who are: Dbittied | beneath a load of debt, a legacy of the: inflation.

Ile THE SPECULUM. with other nations in the markets of the world. He is ferced to buy in a pro- tected market and sell in an unprotected market; to buy in a high market and sell in a low market, while he must pro- duce his. great staples for export as well Now, when an, article is produced partly for home consumption and partly for export, the price of the part experted fixes the price of the part consumed at home, and since the great staples are largely ex- ported, the prices which the farmer re- ceives are tixed by the export price—the price in the free market of the. world. ‘Thus, being obliged to purchase his labor and necessities in a highly protected market, while selling in a low market, the farmier is grossly wronged. But here again a large class of the farmers wrong | themselves through their ignorance. of the workings. of. the system. They are crying fer protection which does not pro- tect; they ask for bread: and are given a - stone. Fourth, is the shifting of taxes. Un- Aes our. present system of taxation the burden of taxes: are borne by the class ‘who obtain their products from mother : earth,. | the tax. pay. the. tax in the end? : bages—and. some’ one else fixes the price: | He | goes to,a-merchant to buy-the neces- 7 BETES. of, life, and again some one else “the: éther hand, if. the consumer “be of the “stipend. class—a téacher,-dector or law-. In this conntry the farmers make up, thegreater part of this class. With our present system of import taxes it is said that the cunsumer pays “But does. the consumer always If the consumer Ceo oO may. “be either wheat, corn, cotton or cab- which. he ‘shall ,receive for his produce. On ~ yer the, tax ‘on the article consumed will - raise the: cost, of: living, arid they. in turn: lb receive: a. Targer .sum.for their ser. vices. The, farmer employing. their. ‘ser, wees will thus: help.te. pay their. tax. < : oy dt: ber BS ‘mevebant who. consumes. the, article, his cost of living will be increased; if he employs the services of the stipend class he will bé compelled to contribute to their tax. This will also be added to and further increase the merchant’s cost of living. The farmer buying goods from this merchant will pay for the goods, the tax on the goods, and a large part of the tax of the merchant as well as a part of the tax of the stipend class -. shifted on the goods through the merchant. So itis with the manufacturer and all other classes of producers, the prices of whose products and services are not fixed by some: one eise at both ends of: the transaction. | | You.may-ask why it is ; that the tne d and manufacturing | classes “are able: to. raise the prices of their services and pro- ducts? It is through the. immobility of both labor and capital to change from one form of services or production to. another, when they once become com- mitted to a certain line of services or-pro- ductions. For instance, the miners of the upper peninsula a year ago, would rather. go half starved, supported by . charity, than work for.a fair wage in the lumber-. ing camps. A number of box facturies. and wooden-ware manufactories continued runoing during the past. year ata loss-to the owners, while. hundreds of others. were closed down, being committed to a’ certain line of production, and the demand: for their products ceasing: aon ie Again in the assessment of ihe ‘general | proper ty tax, the farmer pays mare . than his just share. His property consists of. real estate and personal |property that” cannot be ‘hidden from the view of the ASSESSOT ;. while the holders of stocks,. bonds and mortgages can easily keep from the view of the assessor much of. the evidence .of svealth, and thus escape their just share of.the tax. oy Further the. high rents or. city. taxes of. merchants are. largely added to the prices : of the goods. which they. handle.” lms ‘Thus we see that the farmer has. just: : cause of complaint j in. the lavish. expendis. tares of both State and: federal governs, ments, since: the. burden of taxes. through. THE SPECULUM. the shifting of taxation falls upon him. We shall now take up some of the natural causes over which not the govern- ment. but the farmer himself has control, but nevertheless against which he has made bitter complaint, The first of these is the low prices of the great staples cotton, wheat and live stock. During the last sixty days the prices of live stock have raised so that all com- plaint from this tource has ceased. Wheat alsa is steadily advancing. For the cause of the long Continued low prices of these staples we must look to lessened consumption, tonew andim proved machin- - ery, to improved facilities for transporta- tion, which opens a larger area to’ com- plete far the same market, and to over PREC ason af these staples. : . By one or more of. these causes, South America, south Africa, India and Aus: tralia,. have been brought into direct competion with us in producing for the great markets of Europe. This cheapening of the great staples should not be looked upon as an lojury, ’ but as a blessing to the farmer as well as the race. Jt is true that for a time it may-and does injure the farmer until he can change from the staple to some other form of production. ‘This cheapening of the great staples must necessarily cheapen other articles which the farmer must . Arie oe “Second, the point ef diminishing. returns is “not approached. Closely connected with this point are the methods employed. by the farmer. The greater part of the farmers in this country do not farm in- tensively but extensively. In the exten- sive farming, a large area is cultivated and but a small yield per acre’ ob- tained. Hf the amount of cultivation Was increased up nearer to the: point’ of. diminishing returns. the’ profits of ‘the: farmer would be increased. es a ‘Thus, if a profit was mad& beforéy 1 a of this country are entreprenenrs...

Of the latter, a remedy is not so easily applied. It is evident that the import taxes and general property tax ‘could be greatly reduced by increasing the excise taxes on intoxicants, tobacco, and luxuries,. and by the use of the grad- vated income tax as well as a tax on in- herited property. By these changes the burden of taxation would be partially re- moved from the agriculturalists. War Versus Arbitration. BR. E, WARD, OLYMPIC SOCIETY, “Wari is the most unwelcome word of any language.

Accepting the law that similar causes “produce similar results, it follows that if justice, the great object sought, ¢an be obtained by one of these methods, it can not possibly result from the pursuit of the other. War, the first eriployed of these agen- cles, has been defined to be the or ganiza~ tion and exercise of the combative in- stincts.of man common to. him and the beasts. Is it fitting that man, who prides hiniself on being the creature wherein is the culmination of intelectual development power of mind, should resort to the exercise of the same instincts and motives in the adjustment of his differences that animate the monarch of the jungle i dealing destruction to the creatures aboul hirn? = In answering this question let us glance at some of the constant characteristics of war as exhibited by it-in every age in which it has existed, and if we find it has tended to advance the cause of mankind or that it has accomplished successfully the purpose for which it was instituted lei us give it our approbation.

Prof. and Mrs Comstock of Cornell University Mrs. Comstock devoting the most of her time to drawing and engraving the six plates and 800 to the preat neéd and a constant demand for a Book: of “ihis. kind. Not only have our a | Colléges been in need of it, as a text book: - ene ecome | familiar, swith’ duternational ae and: ‘book: ‘Of. reference, ‘but many teachers. . ia burs “city: ‘and ‘district schools, and. school, fe S THE SPECU LUM. ae Le rrrer. just such a work, Dr. Packard’s two works were about the only ories that could be recommended, and. these were technical, and amtiquated nearly as soon As published. Prof. Comstock’s Manual has resuited from years of ‘hard’ work and careful research, and is not only up to date, but is muchin advance. In writ- ing the book, enough manuscript to make another book equal to this in size, has been. discarded simply because he found cnre-— search that present classification is faulty. Though entomology may advance as rapidiy as it has in years past, the manual will still remain a standard work for quite a » time to come. After the iatr oductory chapter on zoo- | gical classification and nomenclature. the near relations of insects, such as the cray fish, cyclops, sow bugs, scorpions, spiders, mites and centipedes are treated of in their order, giving the relations and differences which they bear in relation to each other and toinsects. ~This is a valu- able chapter to the beginner in the study, as it enables him to classify in a general way the specimens he may have, and to determine whether they are insects or alles. Chapter IIE treats extensively of the inséct as to external and internal anatomy and oetamorphoses. The parts of the “Insect and function of each part, are very clearly shown and, taken withthe transfor- : rations and life history of an insect, make _a.very interesting chapter to read. The ‘chapter ends with a synopsis for determ-. ining the order to which an insect belongs. .. Phe primary classification of insects makes nineteen orders “in the place. of seven as made by older works. This ‘sti plifies: classification from the very be- ginning and gives the student a clearer | idea of affinity than formerly where insects .

He — remarked that if the money spent in military in- spection of rooms be added to-a small fee to be collected from the students a. sum would be obtained which would be suffi- cient to employ a janitor who would make -a business of keeping the rooms in order.

Qn Saturday afternoon, April 20, our first inter-col- legiate of the season was played with Albion. Al- though some of our boys were much fatigued by the Tunior Hop, the evening previous, they put up a good game, defeating Albion by a scare of 12 to 8. By. innings as follows; Innings, I #2 Albion, oa I M.AL.C.,2 Fo 4 o Oo 2 4 @ * 12 Batteries, Albion—Cogshali, Clark, Jacobs and Buck, M. A. ©,—Ferguson, Ansorge and Krentel. Um pire—Crosby. The day was perfect and fully five hundred people witnessed the game, The features of the game were Gorenflo's fielding, Ferguson's batting, and McKin- non’s advice as coacher. Crotty Bros. of Lansing, offered a base ball bat for the best batting record. McKinnon and Ferguson tied, but McKinnon forfeited to Ferguson. The Albion correspondent of the nay | News- a Tribune, was so confident of the success of the Albion team that he writes as follows: ‘The progress which the base ball nine is making, will be indicated by the outcome of the game with M. A, C. at Lansing this afternoon,” friend. The next Saturday the team’ went ta ee eeery full of confidence from the Albion game, that they would “swipe the earth” with the Kalamazoo College team. - Before they réturned, which. by the way, ow- ing to an inclination on the part of seme of the boys to become acquainted with Kalamazoo’s fair damsels, . was not until Sunday night, they had concluded that it takes something mnte than confidence to be always successful at base ball. There are generally a few little features, such as batting and fielding, which require some attention. Crogby’s telegram shows the result ofthe game, and alsa the: way-in which the boys took it. ‘Kalamazoo 21,M.A.C.6. Out-plaved at. every point. Meet us with a hearse.” Glivet came to play us the following Monday, and owé hoped to regain our reputation in this game. But we were.duomed to disappointment, The game was. as near like the Kalamazoo game, as two games of: ball can be. In the first three innings good ball was. played, and it looked ‘as though we should have a good game, bat.in tiie fourth, things began to go to pieces and Olivet scored seven runs. This. acted as a damper on our enthusiasm, and the Olivet boys. Zt _ more enjoyment out of the rest of the game than wé did. Field day is coming on, and if we wish td win that base ball cup from Albion, we must do-some tall hustling. They are doing some good work as is shown by the score of the game with Olivet, Saturday; : May 4th, ° The lawn-tennis season has opened, and our adimir- ers of the game may be seen enjoying themselves Gaily, The Bicycle Club recently elected the following offi- cers: President, Geo.
