AN ECONOMIC REVOLUTION
Verv few people realize, says the
Eugene Register, how reat has been the
fall in price of the necessities of life dur-
ing the last twenty, or even during the
last 10, years. At the present rate of
human progress, the luxuries of today
are apt to become the necessities of to
morrow and so the saving affected , on
one side merely supplies the means for
new expenditure on another. But in
dealing with the great transaction of in
ternational commerce it is impossible to
overlook the enormous shrinkage that
has taken place in the value of the staple
products of the labor of man, side by
Bide with a steady increase of the rates
which are paid for that labor. The ex
ports and imports of the United King
dom of Great Britain and Ireland fur
nish, perhaps, the most accurate stand
ard that could be selected of the course
of prices of these staples. There haB
been no fluctuating tariff to affect values,
and no irregularity either in the mone
tary system or the conditions of exchange
to render them uncertain.
When we find that jn 1874 England
paid $155,000,000 for 47,000,000 hundred
weights of foreign wheat and flour, and
that last year 89.000,000 hundredweights
costs her only $133,000,000, we get a real
izing sense of more than the significance
ot cheap bread. For there ia in such
figures the sign and the measure of a
social revolution whose progress has
been none the less momentouB because it
has been peaceful. To go back only 10
years ago, $50,000,000 buys 25,000,000
pounds of tea more than it would have
done in England in 1884, and 14,000,000
hundredweights of refined sugar can be
imported for the price paid in 1884 for
little more than 10,000,000. In ten years
the quantity of dead meat imported into
the United Kingdom has nearly doubled,
while its declared value has increased
barely 50 per cent.
The cheapening of articles of food has
been no more remarkable than that of
the raw materials of manufacture. In
1874, 14,000,000 hundredweights of raw
cotton are valued among British imports
at $255,000,000, while last year 16,000,000
hundredweights count for only $165,000,
000. The imports of wool were 180,000,
000 pounds more last year than they
were in 1884, but they cost $6,600,000
less than they did then. Of course, the
value of the manufactured product bears
the impress cf the decreased value of the
raw material. Great Britain received
$25,000,000 less for the cotton fabrics she
shipped last year than she did for those
exported in 1874. but she, nevertheless.
Bent out 1,700,000,000 yards more. For
less than 2,500,000 tons of iron and steel
manufactures exported in 1874 the price
was $155,900,000 ; for considerably more
than 2,600,000 tons exported last year
the price was about $73,000,000. These
are some of the data which will go to
the making of one of the most remarks
ble chapters in the history of this cen
iury me etui incomplete economic
revolution to which the concluding
quarter of it will have been a witness,
A TELL TALE REPORT.
The following is the report of the gov
ernment statistician for the months of
January and February, and it tells an
eloquent story of the hard timej. In
live stock alone the decrease in values
from the same months in 1894 is equal
to one-fifth of all the gold, silver, and
paper monev in circulation in this coun
try:
The estimates of farm animals for
January, 1895, show a decrease in the
number of horses as compared with Jan
.1894, of 187,821, or 1.17 per cent; a de
crease in mules of 19,123, or 0.81 per
cent; an increase in milch cows of 17,-
229, or 0.10 per cent; a decrease in oxen
and other cattle of 2,243,952, or 6.13 per
ce-it; a decrease in number of sheep of
2,53,953, or 6.11 per cent; a decrease in
the number of swine of 1,040,782, or 2.30
per cent. In value per capita horses
have declined 24.1 per cent; mules 23.5
per cent; milch cows have increased
about 1 per cent; oxen and other cattle
have, lost in value 4.1 per cent; sheep
have declined 20.2 per cent, and swine
16.9 per cent. The decline in the farm
prices of horses is very general through
out the country, the exceptions being in
the mountain and Pacific states and
Massachusetts. The range of prices is
from $15.37 per head in New Mexico to
$81.21 in Rhode Island. The average
value of milch cows has increased from
$21.77 in 1894 to $21.97 for this year.
The average values per capita of ani
male, as estimated, are as follows:
Horses, $36.29 ; mules, $47.55 ; milch
cows, . $21,97; oxen and other cattle,
$14.06; sheep, $1.58; hogs, $4.97. Total
value- of live stock on farms is $1,819,
446,306, a decrease of $351,370,448 from
the total value of 1894.
The populists were not in it Sunday.
The sun shone down from a cloudless
sky upon the glad spring day, which re
publicans and democrats can claim aa
their own. The legislature had ad
journed, and the pledges of economy
and reform, of lopped off railroad and
other commissions, had not been kept.
In consequence there was a disgruntled
feeling in the republican camp, which
awakened the tenderest sympathies of
the democrats, who know now it is
themselves, and who in turn await the
adjourning of the national legislature
that they elected, and that was "full ot
promise." Members of the two old par
ties in Oregon have at last a common
ground upon which they can meet and
mingle their tears. Violated pledges
and broken promises are becoming
property in common.
The returns as to the amount of your
income, provided you have any over
$3,500 per year, will have to be made on
or before April lath. The time nrst
fixed was March 1st, but as the blanks
were not issued in time, the date was
put off six weeks.
That the blood should perform its
vital functions, it is absolutely necessary
it should not only be pure but rich in
life-giving elements. These results are
best effected by the use of that well
known standard blood-purifier, Ayer's
Sarsaparilla.
