Prosperity and Decline.
PROSPERITY AT THS SOUTH.
The Chattanooga Times sharply
and effectively rebukes those dema
gogues who have been making poiit
ical capital by preaching calamity
and ruin to the Southern people.
“We affirm,” says the Times, “that
the people of the South, taken as a
whole, are better off right now than
they have ever been since or before
the civil war. They are better con
ten’ed, they are more hopeful, they
are saving more money, they are less
in debt than ever before.” And it
cites agricultural reports, assessment
returns and industrial statistics in
proof of its assertions. The Times
makes out its case against the mon
gers of discontent. These disturbers
of peace and progress always nave
an easy time of it. Prosperous peo
ple do not boast, but move a'org
quietly and contentedly. Failure is
ever noisy, is ever seeking to shift
the blame for the results of its own
incapacity to a general condition of
evil. Then, to >, no one is as rich or
as happy as he thD ks he deserves
to be. All are therefore more or
less inclined to lend a sympathetic
ear to denuncia if ns of ex sting con
ditions and tc promises of better

OUR DECLINE IN ANIMAL WEALTH
According to Government official
reports the farm value of the horses,
cattle, mules, sheep and hogs in the
United States was in January sl,-
727,167,735, or more than seventeen
times the total of the late bond issue
and twice the total bonded debt of
the nation.
Bat we seem to be growing stead
ily poorer in this species of property.
During the year 189a the total num
ber of horses declined 4.5 per cent.,
mules 2.3 per cent., milch cows 2 2
per cent., oxen and other cattle 6 6
per c nt., sheep 9.4 per cent., and
hogs 3 per cent. lu aggregate value
the farm animals are worth $91,520,-
000 less than they were a year age,
or about 5 per cent less. And this
decliue has been going on steadily
for several years, so that our wealth
in farm animals in January, 1896 is
3'1.4 per cent—or nearly one-third—
less than it was in 1893 though we

The oppression of the beef com
bination and its discouragement of
the raising of food anima s account
in part for the falling off in cattle,
sheep and hogs. The widespread
introduction of mechanical traction
amounts for the decline of horses
and mules in number and p-ice. But
so long continued a decline in the
number and value of all farm ani
mals must have other causes worth
searching out. There is work here
of a pablicly practioa ly kind for the
Agricultural Department to do.—

Mr Editor:—l enclose two clip
pings from the editorial columns of
the New York World. One about
the great prosperity of the Sou-.h,
and the other calling attention to
the great falling'off in value o 2 farm
animals, the latter is the truth, hut
the former is just the reverse. Now,
to prove the great prosperity, I killed
a nice beef and seat it around the
country to sell and in the evening
the man le urned giving me 22 cents
and the beef, minus a few pounds.
Hard wo’king men stood around the
wagon hungry, but had no money,

History repeats itself. Nero fid

the XVI was chasing a moth around
the Tuileries while the mob wai
forming in the streets of Paris, and
Grover Cleveland, at a Cabinet din

a lake in the center of the table, and
is dined by another Cabinet offi ser
who plays the buffoon with an agri
cultural dinner, while the body poli

dren filling premature graves for the
want of both food and clothes. Land

E litor People’s Party Paper:
We have had quite an exciting
time for several days in “Hancock
County at the late term of the Supc
rior Court.”
Che Grand Jury recommaniid the
enfjicement of the new road lav.
Tne board of road and revenues
were preparing to put the lav in
force, but they soon saw that it
would be almost impossible to do sc
without involving serious trouble
The people were fully determined
that no such chain-gang system of
working the roads should be stuffed
down their throats. The board has
set aside the new law and will now
adopt the old. Undar the law it
took the recommend»tion of three
Grand Jury before it could become
a law. The last J try was packed
for this specifl; purpose, no doubt.
Any man witn two good eyes cou'd
see it when the Jury was organiz-d.
We have in Hancock what is known
as professional Jurors, who are on
hand at every term of Court. W<
know of mon who have bee i drawn
almost continuously at every term of
Court f >r the past f ur or five years.
