And still the mystery of the COM
position of Cleveland's cabinet puz-
zles the eager and apprehensive
democracy. Mr.. Money, of Missis-
sippi, said only today that he knew
nothing whatever Of Cleveland's
purposes, and yet Mr.. Money is
pressed by powerful influences,
among others by ex-Gov. Tilden,
for the position of Postmaster Gen
eral. A few moments before Mr..
Money gave your correspondent his
assurance, an intimate friend of
Genl. Gordon declared the same
thing to be true of the distinguish
ed Georgian. The vague express
sion OF a purpose by Mr.. Cleveland
recently 'to surround himself with
the broadcast and best minds of the
country is construed by some
democratic statesmen to point un'
erringly towards themselves, but
there is a general accord Of belief
that with only six weeks before his
Inauguration, Mr.. Cleveland might
give some signs as to the hand he
Is PLAYING. Broadcast and best
minds are believed to be abundant
in the party, but nevertheless, this
long delay sets the tramp of the
hungry and thirsty to very dis
cordant tunes. The democratic
press teens with epithets like Au-
gust Belmonts clerk Tommy Bay
ard Coal Oil Bill Whitney," Sniv-
ell Service George Pendleton,' 'Pe-
troleum johnny Mclean and
.Hessian Schurz.' If this sort Of
thing keeps up, Governor Cleveland
will want to take to the woods
again, long before his Cabinet is
completed.

And Its present price, instead ot
being "under 40s. the quarter, is
under 3Os. at which price it cannot
be grown in England without loss.
Wages, Mr.. Bright says, have
nearly if not quite doubled since
some date that he vaguely init
mates. The English statistician
who writes to the "St. James
Gazette proceeds to investigate
the cost of living during the same
period. In 1911 he says the pOpu-
lation of England was uDder 16,-
OOO. 600; in 1881 1t was 10000, 600,
an increase Of GO per cent. In
that period the general cost of
living, so far as can be ascer-
tanned from the movement OF the
last ten years, has increased by
about 100 per cent, or moro than
doubled. Wages have only fol
lowed the general consequence of
increase in density Of population.
The decrease in the number en-
ployed i'll the principal industries
is then shown, notably in the textile
and the boot and shoe industries
Cheap foreign manufactures have
been introduced into the country
to the extent of more than $780,
600, 600 year. Suppose the pun
chasers save S1O,OOO,OOO, they do
this at the cost of at least $780,
600, 900 of wages lost to the work
ing classes of England. This is
precisely what the enemies OF
labor and of home industry are
trying their best to do in the
United States.
