t-~=--;- ' ■■ ■■■■—. Better Times*-Better Prices. For two years the whole world has been complaining abouitlow prices. Because the prices were low the times were hard; and we will not hare better times unless prices are better. This argument was heard all over the country and we should surely have been justified to have thought that a rise in the price of some things or another would haye created a rejoicing. Now we have such going up in prices, and yet, such people are not satisfied. Beef today brings a.higher price than it has brought for the last twenty years, and yet we do not find Jhe people rejoicing. Why? Because Jhe masses do not feel like rejoicing jf they have to pay from 3 to 5 cents per pound more than some mouths Jo fhe contrary. They fee! a weighing down on their pocketbook and consequently protest agaiust such |pliig up in the price. The butcher and others who take tfie difference in the price are also pot satisfied. They assert that they pro not making deny more money; pecanse t hey pay this difference to the Wholesale dealers in beef, &cM consequently their own profit is not Jarger than it has been before. The pattle buyers are also not satisfied. They blame the weather causing scarcity of feed in consequence of Which there is a scarcity ol cattle and they are-not able to supply the demand, therefore a going up in price. &c., and what to cattle raisers say ? They claim if they do receive better prices for their cattle, they are not better off than before, because they caupotfaiseso much stock as before and therefore have less to sell and no more money than before. ^At the same time of the rise in beef there was also a going up in the price of petroleum, and we are also promised a going up in price of coat. We have uot heard the bands playing nor have we seen bonfires to express joy In couseqaence of these going up in prices. It has been said the prices of beef, petroleum and coal is the outcome of trusts and combines. It may also be said that the rise in price of a few necessaries of life will not bring on better times. This is also very hard to comprehend. If after a certain time all

necessaries of life would go up 10 to 20 per cent, above the present prices, the masaes of the people would not be benefiited thereby. Wage workers or those having a fixed salary would undoubtedly be nosers, unless their wages and salaries, wonld be raised accordingly, and if thi* wonld be done, they would be as well off as they are now and no belter. They would receive more pay for their labor, but could they buy any more for their money than they could buy now? Ifol Why not? It is easily answered. They would only receive a benefit if their wages were raised accordingly. But experience has taught us that that is the last thing raised and the first thing cut down in price. In looking at the question of good prices and good times, causes and consequences are generally a little mixed. Better prices do not make better times. If is another way. Better times make better prices, just like the failing of prices follow In the track of bad and hard times. This has been conclusively shown one or two years ago, when the financial panic broke ont, and banks were closed and a general shutting down of factories followed, ‘hen it was a lowering of prices followed.e Notv the crisis has been weathered and a better era is dawning on the ascent and therefore there is more demand for labor, and consequently the times are getting better, and of course, we are all glad to find it thus. High prices in general are only a benefit to a few, but no benefit to the masses.

Th e Fish Law. For the benefit of onr readers we give the fish law below. There has been a misapprehension as to the provisions of the new laws regulating the time for fishing, and lovers of the rod will be pleased to learn that there is ro provision against fishing the rivers, but the law has a strict section against seining at any season of the year. The law as it passed the Indiana legislature reads as follows: “It shall be unlawful for anyone to take fish from any of the lakes of the state between the 1st day of April ami the 15tb day of Jane, except for the purpose of introducing the variety of fistr into other rivers or lakes. Any~bne violating the provisions of the act shall be fined not less than ten dollars nor more than one hundred dollars, and may be imprisoned for sixty days.” The other act authorizes justice of the peace to issue warrants to search auy house or place for “gilt nets, seines, or for any implements or devices used or kept for use for taking fish unla wfully from auy of the lakes or streams of the state.”
