..EcoNosrY is the road to death" is
the latest version of an old saying.
Above the groans of the victims in
the disaster at Ford's theater and
mingled with the lamentations of
those who lost relatives or friends in
the wreck of that historic shell is
heard the condemnation OF policy
that made the awful tragedy possible.
1t is too late to ask the question,
..Why were these clerks compelled to
occupy building that common sense
had deemed unsafe?" Congress in
its wisdom pruued the item which
provided for an appropriation for
new quarters and over score of peo-
pie found the crowded trap their

No ONE will be sorry that the
worlds fair directors have begun the
reduction of the force in the expo
sition grounds Even If a large
number of those who will be dropped
were not more ornamental than use
full the action would be desirable. The
fair has now been open over month
and it should be, and in fact is prac-
tically complete. The crowds of
wor&men who have been spinning
out their jobs in leisurely fashion
have given an air of incompleteness
to the fair which has been eagerly
commented upon by hostile critics.
Odd jobs remain to be done here and
there. but these can be attended to
by the permanent employees. The
great body of worllmen who have
been engaged for months in construc-
ton and landscape gardening will
now be paid of and dismissed and
the exposition will henceforward be q
pleasure ground rather than a work
shop.

IT is the height Of folly for the
steam railroads to seriously oppose
the construction Of electric lines, even
when they directly parallel their own
rails. Their traffic will not be affected
unless it be very greatly increased.
The case is in nearly every way
analogous to that Of the electric light.
which. when introduced into our large
cities, it was thought would force the
gas companies out OF existence The
latter corporations, on the contrary.
are doing a larger business than ever
before. When the Brooklyn bridge
was opened, to cite another analog-
GUS case, it was very generally con-
ceded that the ferry boats would have
to stop running; yet to-day they are
carrying thousands more passengers
than they did before the bridge was
built.

THE GOLDITE EXPOSURE.

The dispatches from Europe, which
tell of the gold famine and of the
desperate struggle of each country
to retain its gold supply and add to
it, speak in language more forcible
than any mere argument commonly
supplies of the disastrous struggle in
the attempt to do the worlds busi-
ness on basis too narrow for prac-
teal work. says the Salt Lake Tribune.
The plain truth seems to be and
seems to be now recognized as has
constantly been maintained in these
columns for the last ten years, that
there is not gold enough in the
world to serve as bssis for the
worlds business. The frantic efforts
of all commercial people to hold on
to their supply of gold and the ter
rorized efforts they make to prevent
any other nation drawing upon their
supply, are facts, the telling of which
must carry conviction to the dullest
mind. But the mind of the goldbug
is not dull He has known this long.
1t is of deliberate purpose that he
has undertaken to maintain the gold
standard alone and to build up a
public sentiment that would sustain
him in so doing. 1t has been to his
interest IN the past to keep from the
public the facts in relation to the
scant supply Of gold as compared
with the worlds commerce, for he
could easily see that if the public I'M
derstood this, 1t would say at once
that if there was not gold enough
they would supplement the gold
money with silver. This is precisely
what the goldbug has wished to
avoid. His desire has been to estab-
lish the single gold standard well
knowing the ihsufhciency of that
metal, and his interest in this has
been purely selfish. He has wanted
gold merely because gold was scarce
and dear. IL he could get all nations
committed to that view, then his
future would be secure. He would
drain the life-blood of all peoples to
obtain his usury. The world would
be at his feet and would have to pay
interest in metal hard to get, which,
when received, would yield him the
highest value. His schemes, how
ever, are in danger of failure, because
before the entire fruition of his plan
his hand has to be exposed. The
people are made aware by unmistak-
able evidence that gold is at premium
that inasmuch as all people are en-
gagged in desperate struggle to retain
what little of it they have, there is
not enough of it to 60 around. The
present crisis is unwilling the true
situation. Let the people open their
eyes and see just where they will bs
if they yield to the demand of the
goldbugs. With every people locking
up their gold and making an outcry
if they lose few million, more o.
less, what are we coming to! Thu
programme of money servitude offer
ed the people is exposed at its weak
est point. 1t is in the power of thu
people to step right in and say tina
it shall 60 no further, and the people
should lose no time in exercising
their power and demanding that thu
process for their enslavement shall
cease right here and now.
