Retail. ....... 100 100 1900 I14.5O

Though the cost of articles fell 81 per cent.
from 1857 to 1872, the cost to buyers at retail
actually increased. This illustrates the ex-
treme difficulty of getting any reduction in re-
tail prices as long as cheap money is still used
and habits of initiation prevail. But whole
sale prices have declined Al per cent since
1872, and retail prices have also declined Al
per cent. In time, the use of good money will
bring retail nearer to wholesale prices, and
force retail dealers to abate the extra charges
which, during seventeen years of cheap money
they learned to make for their defence. That
is no easy thing retail buyers will know. 1t is
as if a dealer had become so used to putting
sand in the sugar and water in the whiskey
that he could not break the habit. But all
who buy chiefly at retail may well think
whether they will again permit cheap money
to give excuse for a return to that habit--for
another initiation of retail prices.
There is no land on earth in which labor
ought to prosper more surely and steadily
than in this. Yet for many years labor has
been tossed in the air, again and again, falling
each time with a rude shock, as hazng stu
dents toss a victim. AT times high pay has
prompted much waste and extravaganza. At
times, skilled workmen by the thousand have
gone back to England in search of a better
living. We stand on solid ground at last La
Dor is now well employed. In Massachusetts,,
according to the Labor Bureau, out of $50. 900
male and female laborers, only $4,000 are out
of worthless than in 100. Probably the
proportion was never smaller even in the
most prosperous times Nor is there any other
time known, III which the wages of workers
have bought much of things needed for the
support of family as their wages have bought
since October last. Men who could live on
their wages in 1872 can now live equally well,
and save one-third of their earnings. Now, too.
the dollar in the bank means a dollar 1t is
not liable to lose part of its value at any mo-
ment as it was for SO long. 1t is worth twice
as much now as it was in 1867. 1t will buy at
retail as much as $1.73 bought in 1872. All
this return to honest money has done for la
boz already Would it not be amazing folly if
we should insist upon going back to the wages
and prices of cheap dollar times?
