PRODUCTION AND CONSUMP
TION. The problem of national pros
perity hinges a great deal upon the
equable relations of production
and consumption. As a natural
sequence thev roust equalize one
another or the resu!t will be in
harmony, suffering and destruc
tion. The first and signal result of the
recent remarkable changes in the
conditions of production aud dis
tribution, which in turn have been
so conducive of industrial and so
cietary disturbances, has been to
greatly increase the abundance
and reduce the price of most use
ful and desirable commodities. If
some may say, "What of that,, so
long as distribution is impeded
and has not been corresponding!
perfected?" it may be answered,
that production and distribution in
virtue of a natural law are correla
tive or reciprocal. We produce to
consume, and we consume to pro
duce, and the one will not go on
independently of the other; and
althocgh there may be, and actu
ally is, and mainly through the
influence of bad laws, more or lesF
xtensive mal-adjustment of these
two gieat agencies, the tendency
is, and by methods to be hereafter
pointed out, for the two to come
closer and closer into correspond
ence. A hundred years ago the
maintenance of the existing popu
lation of Great Britian, of the
United States, and of all other
highly-civilized countries, could
not have been possible under the
then imperfect and limited condi
tions of production and distribu
tion. Malthus, who in 179S was
Jed by his investigations to the
onclusion that the population of
the world, and particularly of Eng
land, was rapidly pressing upon
the limits of subsistence, and
could not go on increasing because
there would not be food for its
support, was entirely right from
his standpoint on the then exist
ing economic conditions ; and no
society at the present time, no
matter how favorable may be its
environments in respect to fertility j
of land, geniality of climate, and
sparseness of population, is mak
ing any progress, except through
methods that in Malthas' day
were practically unknown. Illus
trations confirmatory of the asser
tion that the food resources of half
a century ago would be inadequate
for the support of the existing pop
xilation of the leading civilized
countries are familiar. All the re
sources of the population of the
United States, as they existed in
18S9, would have been wholly in
adequate to have sowed or har
vested the present average annual
corn or wheat crops of the country;
and, even if these two results had
been accomplished, the greater
proportion of such a cerea! product
would have been of no value to
the cultivator, and must have
rotted on the ground for lack of
any means of adequate distribu
tion ; the cost of the transportation
of a ton of wheat, worth twenty
five dollars at a market, for a dis
tance of a hundred ad twenty
miles over good roads, and with
good teams and vehicles, entirely
exhausting its initial value. The
six great corn states are Illinois,
Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, Ohio and
Kansas. They produce more than
one-half the corn raised in the
country. These states, by the
census of 1880, had 2,056,770
persons engaged in agriculture,
and it would hrve been necessary
for this entire community to have
sat astride of shovels and frying
pans for one hundred and ten days
out of three hundr .1 and sixty
five to have.shelled their corn crop
by the old processes.
The matter of harmonizing these
results must, however, be left to
take care of itself. The only ap
plication that can be made is when
the inharmony i9 produced by the
interference of parties for selfish
ends, that cause an abnormal con
dition, as, for instance, the creat
ing of so-called "corners" in and
of the productions of the soil. In
such cases wholesome enactment
should be applied to correct the
evil?.
The Chronicle says that the
recent blizzard in the Northwest
A
was marked bv many incidents
heroism, but few appealed so
erfnlly to the sympathies as the
fate of the young teacher and his
five pupils near Mandan, D. T.
Shut up in an isolated house on a
lonely prairie, they slowly starved
and froze to death, yet in this
aaony, rendered doubly hard by
the weakness of the little ones,
the teacher sacrificed his own
comfort and hastened his death in
order to prolong the lives of his
charges. Such an example as'this
makes one think better of human
nature, : and it should be referred
to the pessimists who believe that
self-interest is the ruling motive.
Representative Hermann has
submitted a long petition from cit
izens of Lane and Coos counties,
a king for a lighthouse at the mout h
of the Siuslaw river, in Lane
county. A biil has been intro
duced in accordance therewith,
but before any committee can act
upon the matter the lighthouse
board will be directed to pass upon
the location.
