the lowest level Of prices has been
reached. II Is this boarding Of money
when It's volume shrinkS which causes a
fall In prices greater than would be
caused by the direct effect of decrease
In the stock of money. Money in shrink
ing volume becomes the paramount OBJ
ieCt Of commerce instead of Its benefcent
instrument. Instead OF moblllzlng in
dustry, it poisons and dries up Its life
currents. Il Is the fruitful source Of
political and social disturbance. It
foments strife between labor and other
forms of capital, while itself hidden
away in security gorgsS on both. It re-
wards close-hsted lenders and filches
from and bankrupts enterprlsing bor-
rowers. 1t circulates freely In the stock
exchange, but avoids the labor exchange.
It has In all ages been the worst enemy
with which society has had to contend.
The great and still continuing fall in
prices In the United States has proved
most disastrous to nearly every indus
trial enterprise. The bitter experience Of
the last few years has been an expensive
but most thorough teacher. It has taught
capitalists neither 10 invest In nor loan
money on such enterprises, and just as
thoroughly has 1t taught business men
not to borrow for the purpose Of lnsugu-
rating or prosecuting them. OF the few
business enterprises now being success
fully prosecuted, the larger part are based
on a monopoly secured either by patents
or exceptional conditions. The business
man has discovered that the less active
and enterprising he is, the better he Is
off. The manufacturer avoids loss by
damplng down furnace fires and slowing
down machinery.
The mining companies would find profit
in inactivity, and would probably suS-
pend operations were 1t not for the great
loss they would sustain In doing SO.
Mines can be properly opened only
through a great outlay of capital, which
would be practically lost II they were
closed down for any considerable period
of time. The filling up with water, the
caving in of galleries, the crushing In Of
shafts, the rusting Of machinery, and the
general dlssrrsngement Of their interior
workings would require for their repair a
not much less expenditure than was nec-
essary for their original opening. Hop
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-09-21

Ing for better times, they therefore
struggle on against an adverse current
without profit and generally only with
out loss by reducing their miscellaneous
expenditures to the lowest possible point,
and wages to a starvation level. The
miners ascend from the dark and gloomy
depths Of the mine with their scanty pit
lance called wages to find In famishing
household gloom that Is more profound.
They await with heroic fortitude and q
sometimes impatient hope the advent Of
another Sir Humphrey Davy with lamp
capable OK shedding light on the cause Of
existing evils, and Of protecting them and
all others who depend on their labor for
their daily bread against a lingering
misery more to be dreaded than the
desthly danger that turks In the treach-
erous fire-dsmp.
The stockholders Of railroads have
suffered vast shrlnkage in the value Of
their property and in the volume Of their
traffic and In the rates Of transportation,
while their debts have remained nomi-
nally the same, but really increasing. In
order TO make their decreased receipts
meet the interest on their bonds, they are
forced to reduce their operating expenses
to the lowest possible point. Their
struggles seem to be in vain, and unless
that system can be changed which is
making each dollar which they owe more
valuable, and at the same time causing
shrlnkAge In their business, and which is
chSlning labor and all other forms Of
capital TO the chariot wheels Of money
capital, they will, one after another, be
swallowed by the bondholders. In the
end, the stockholders will be entirely out
of the account, and the contest will be
between different classes Of bondholders,
If shat can be called contest where
victory Is assured in advance to the liens
which have priority.
Farmers whose lands are not mort
gagged, and their employees who at least
are insured against absolute want best
escape the evils Of the times, but the
prices Of agricultural products must
finally decline with the reduction In the
number and means Of the consumers.
The tendency Of falling prices is to
break down the vast diversified interests
Of the country, and to force a constantly

prices Of such country at a substantial
parity with the prices of all other coun-
tries using the same kind Of money. Any
change from this amount must be tenn
porsry, and will be soon automatic cally
corrected by the course Of exchange.
The volume Of inconvsrtlble paper
money, on the contrary, is local to, and
subject to the control Of the country
issuing It, and should be regulated solely
with reference to existing prices, and
consequently should be neither increased
nor diminished, except In correspondence
with changes in population and COM
merce.
The proposition often made that the
quantity of money in this country should
amount now to as much per capita as It
did at some anterior period, or to as
much per capita as In England or France,
rests on no philosophical basis whatever.
Irrespective Of the time contracts, it is Of
no consequence what the volume OF
money may be, provided It be subdivided
into such number Of units, or fractions of
units, as would meet physical require
mentS, while the equity Of such contracts
can be met only by maintaining the rela-
ton between money and other things un-
disturbed.
Equally fanclful and erroneous Is the
proposition that the rates Of interest for
money can be lowered by increasing It's
quantity. II is prices, and not interest,
which depend upon the volume of money.
The rates for the use Of lOsnsble capital
depend upon entirely different factors;
such as the current rates Of business
profits, productiveneas of the soil, the
security Of property, the stability Of gov
srnment, pressure of taxation, and the
fiscal policies of governments, such as the
maintenance Of public debts, which
necessarily increase the rate Of interest.
In truth, increasing the amount of money
tends indirectly to increase the rate of
interest by stimulating business activity,
while decreasing the amount of money
reduces the rate OF interest by checking
enterprises and thereby curtailing the de-
mand for loans. This is signally illus
trated by the present condition of things
in every part of the commercial world.
The rate Of interest should be, and under
a correct money system would be merely
an expression of the rate of profit which
could be made through the use of bor-
rowed capital.
Effects Of decreasing UOEWme Of money.
While the volume of money is decreas-
ing, even although very slowly, the value
Of each unit of money is increasing In
corresponding ratio, and property is fall
ing In price. Those who have contracted
to pay money find that it Is constantly
becoming more difficult to meet their en-
gagements. The margins of securities
melt rapidly away, and the conAScatIon
by the creditor of the property on which
they are based becomes only a question
Of time. All productive enterprises are
discouraged and stagnate because the
cost Of producing commodities to-day
will not be covered by the prices obtain
able for them tomorrow. Exchanges be-
come sluggish because those who have
money will not part with 1t for either
property or services beyond the require
ments of actual current necessities for
the obvious reason that money alone is
increasing in value while everything else

The Art of Cutting Clothes.

When we read and listen to discus
sions OF comparative value of long or
shoulder measures with those that are
short and sectional, in which one or the
other is denounced as unscientific or
impracticable, our mind Immediately
dwells for a moment on proverbially
stupid animal with long ears. The fact
is that many cutters are successful
with the first, and just about as many
with the others.
Every man cannot become good cut
ter. Some do not seem to ''catch on, !"
as the saying is, and others who seem to
do so are never able to produce any
other results than such as make old
heads swim"
Natural ability and educational adj
vaItages generally insure success, but
years Of work on the board, the ability
even to make a good coat, is no guar
antee Of the possession of that mental
equipment which is necessary to make i.
good cutter.
When it requires hours Of labor to fix
in some ones mind the difference be-
tween one-third and one-quarter of a
size, how can such one expect to sue
coed as cutter?
When student is able to think quick
ly and clearly, we confidently expect
him to become a skillfui cutter, even
though he cannot make q coat so well as
many others, Thesfac is that to be
successful in garment cutting, as in any
other trade or profession, q man must
have brains. know how to use them and
use them as he should. Tailoring Jour

His simple Sparrow Trap.

The crusade against the English spar
row il developing marvellous amount
of inoenuitv. A cheap, effective and
unerring method of killing the birds is
the essential requisite to success in the
new industry.
One little fellow on the south side has
solved the problem, and has already
brought in over 100 heads. He explained
his system and the comparative merits
of it and other systems to Captain Hay-
wood.
.sYou see." he said, 81 didn't have no
gun nor no money to buy one, an if
had the p'liceman'd arrested me for
shootin. An me mother wouldn't let me
poison ,em. She said it was cruel. ANY
way, YOU couldn't never tell whether
you got all the sparrers you poisoned.
So / lust got up scheme of my own,
me an another boy that lives on the
street do.
'sWe made lot of paper tunnels out
of writin paper bout half as long as
lead pencil, the top of 'em just big
enough for sparTer to get his head in.
We but birdseed in the bottom of 'em
an set EN- up in the alley back of our
house, where lots Of the sparrers come.
The sparrers come peckin around an
find the birdseed in EN-, an stick their
heads in to get it. Well, it's down at
the bottom, you know, an so they just
push their heads right in, an then the
tunnels stick to their heads. They can't
fly, cause they can't see, an b'sides it
s'prises EN-, SO they forget to fly. Then
we come right up and catch 'e1n. It's
lots of fun watchin 'em futterin round
tryin to get the funnel off. The other
boy had his tunnels marked with his
name, an | had mine marked with mine,
SO we'd know which was mine and which
was his. Chicago News.

Resolutions on the Death of Miss Alice
Warren.

Resolutions On the Death of Miss Alice
I Warren.
The Beecher Club, of which the late
Miss Alice Warren was member, have
passed the following resolutions in re-
spect to her memory:
From our midst has passed a beloved
associate, Miss Alice Warren, who for
more than two years had been member
of the Beecher Club, and most earnest
participant in it's work Our long asso-
citation with her and the affection engen-
dered thereby, brings us to unite in an
informal tribute to her memory.
Both as club members and individual
Iy, we recognized her influence, and
death has butemphasized its value. We
saw her with but small bodily strength,
holding herself in outward calm, even
amid the too often wealisome labors and
turmoils of the hour. But with a faith
full and patient self-reliance in working
out the problems of everyday existence,
she was enabled to meet the demand
made upon her until the end came and
found her ready for the heavenly mes
senger.
There was ever found in her breadth
of sympathy for others, whether their
thoughts harmonized with her own or
diyerged into other channels While
reaching forward for all possible stimu-
lus to growth and development, she
still conseientiously retained her own
noble characteristics. Educated and re-
fined, with intellectual gifts far above
the average, and with dignity of pres
ence that detracted not from her Geniali-
ty, she yet combined with all an honesty
of purpose above all coveted praise Or
personal distinction. Although reticent
by nature, her charm of manner, with a
ready appreciation of whatever was hui
morous, lent ease and softness to feature
and expression. AS all material things
We're to her, in some form, suggestive of
higher and broarder issues, her clearness
of vision, with her Interpretation of the
life that now is, as but a leading step
toward the higher life to come, was no
uncertain principle.
And so, at its MONDAY, she laid down
her life, assured that beyond our mortal
vision, she would live again, and the
freed soul put on immortality" Shall not
the farewell we failed to give her here
be changed into joyful greeting in that
other realm prepared for the pure in
spirit? We loved her, and miss her, but
above all, in the silence of our hearts,
we bless her for the life she lived in all
purity before us. We are better for
having known her. She stimulated us to
lift ourselves to a higher plane, that we
at last may haply reach her altitude.
We tender to the family, and more es-
pecialIy TO the beloved and bereaved
mother, our soul-felt sympathy in this
hour. And in memory of our beloved
friend and associate, we enroll upon our
club records the sentiments herein ex-
pressed, in testimony of our abiding af-
lection for her.
Voted, that copy of this record be
forwarded to Mrs. Lucinda Warren and
other near relatives of the family.

Stories That Bishop Hare Tells.
Bishop Hare, of South Dakota, is fond
of telling stories about himself to illus
trate the point which he playfully makes
that a man who lives long on the plains
comes to be good deal of barbarian,
Once, so one Of the stories runs, he had
the misfortune while entering q dining
room in this city to step upon the skirt of
ladys dress, Apologizing, he said,
"You know that Ihave been living with
the Indians lately and have grown some-
what awkward" s
The lady, Miss Potter, quickly replied,
81 don't think that, bishop; but am sur
prised at one thing, that after living so
long with the Indians you shouldn't be
better at following up TRAIL
A few evenings later another little af-
fair occurred, the story Of which the
bishop tells as follows:
~ was talking with a charming wom-
an when up came a gentleman who
claimed her attention for moment in
another part of the house. As she Went
away she gave me her ice and asked me
to keep it for her. She had hardly gone
before d brother Clergyman engaged me
in talk Oh the Indian question.
"Now, if there is any subject in which
I am more interested than am in the
Indian question l can't think of it just
now. At any rate, ! became absorbed
in my talk with my friend. Suddenly !
was aroused by an inquiry addressed to
me in a Woman's voice.
"'Where is my ice, bishop? was the
question.
Upon my word, had eaten every bit
of it."-New York Times.
