A financial paper, commenting on 'problems after the war and prospects of prosperity, says: ' "American farmers are guaranteed for next year's crop, and guaranteed by the United States Government, a price more than double -what in normal times they considered to be satlsfac- tory. Now the price for wheat Axes the price for corn and certain lesser ' cereals and in addition, Axes the price "of hogs, for hogs are largely the re mit of corn feeding. "That means another year of unpre cedented prosperity to the men who, after all, are the backbone of the na tion. , Their prosperity means enor mous demand upon the manufacturers I of. every kind of commodity. "No matter what you may worry over, political, social, or financial, you can derend with certainty upon the - true facts that so long as the farming community of the United States is prosperous, just so long will every other legitimate business in the Uni ted States be prosperous. "Tho United States has guaranteed .to its farmers that nrosneritv for another twelve months and that guar antee is good." High prices for wheat and other farm products always mean good times. The only serious matter to ccns'.der is how far the flat govern- meat in naming prices, can continue? Must future prosperity depend upon , the fixing of prices of farm products, and fixing them high? If the price of farm products are to be kept high by government decree, why should not, Is beyond the universal plan of Justice, the price of the products of the mills ;that is the thing for which we fought and the shops and the factories? And ian(1 won Armageddon." If the prices of what the working men , ThIs raay explain the action of Mr. consume are to be fixed by govern- WHson and Secretary Daniels In their ment, why should not the scale of resolute prosecution of the plan to wages? In times of war, when all uull" our American navy to the splen natural laws are temporarily suspend- d,d proportions outlined in the war ed, the fixing of prices is perhaps Jus- j Program. tillable; but Is it In times of peice? I nut thls policy does not line up with Is an act of Congress to take the place Ir- Wilson's policy of permanent of the laws of trade? IB the Dollcy of fixing prices to be a political question, I each, party bidding for power by offer-! in the people the highest prices for! what they sell? And if political sup-i port !b to be sought from the voters as producers, how is their enmity t0 ! be avoided as consumers? All these queries are possible situations, and ! pertinent to the proposition. The fact Is, the policy of price-fixing by the nation must, be abandoned Just , ... .. 1 u soon as possible the sooner the " ' -, ,er8 wll0 wero remr,, fro, oer Setter. It leads to endless compllca-' agaI" w the or d have t0 dePend man prison cnmps'ot the mi of about lions and economic fallacies. It may , Se well enough to make ourse ves be- lieve that prosperity is assured because tte government has flxed -the price of wheat for the next year; but it is like pulling ourselves up by the boot-straps. To guarantee prosperity to the fanners I By agreeing to pay them so much for their wheat, is simply shifting the bur-J hpving at least one cold during tho ien of economic existence to another winter months, and they are fortunate tlass. Why not guarantee prosperity j who havo but one and get through lo all classes by agreeing to tako and with It quickly and without any serious pay for at a fixejl price all the woolen consoquences. Take Chamberlain's and cotton cloth, all the boots and Cough Remedy and observe tho dlrec shoes and all the neckties and collars tlons with each bottle, and you are that can be produced? This kind of likely to be one of the fortunate ones, prosperity simply shifts the burden of The worth and merit of this remedy economic existenco from one class to another. There is only oiie Just and natural process of production' and economic progress and development In any na tion, and among any group of peoplo irvIng on substantially the same plane existence, auu that Is by Increasing ;the highest point possible the con sura4uf power of all classes. This can he done only by Increasing production on tho farm, and In the factory, to tho highest point and mako every day'B4!mi,roVo tho ' work exchangeable for tho largest possible amount of commodities need ed for human existence and comfort.

The proposition, as generally understood, Is to have, under a League of Nations, tho navies of the world police the high seas and enforce the settlement of commercial and other disputes. Does anyone think that England will, with her large navy, so police the' seas, or agree to police them with tho navies of other nations, except for her ; own commercial advantage? The pos- session of such a large navy as Eng land now has, will, in the words of ono of Mr. Wilson's Interpreters, "leave tho other nations at a disadvantage which peace ana uisarmament unuer a i ' - eaguo of Nations. - , ENGLAND'S DYE IS CAST. , ""- Br'1 h ParlIament hs P"sed a law! bidding the import of dyes for ten years after tho war' At a beginning of the war Germany controlled the dyes of the whole V7orla' But ?n four!
