The treasury officials have apparently
undertaken to prevent the withdrawal
of gold from the sub-treasuries to buy
bonds with by the curious and not very
reputable method of blacklisting" the
people who do it. Of course it can read
lily be seen that if a person subscribes for
$40, 600 worth of bonds, and then ex-
changes $4,000 of legal tender at sub
treasury for an equal amount OF gold,
and then hands back the gold in payment
for the bonds the government reserve is
not increased a penny, and one object
of the issue of bonds is defeated. The
desire of the treasury is that purchasers
of bonds shall draw the gold with which
they pay.for them from the. banks, or
from private boards, and thus increase
the government stock. Yet the process
of exchanging legal tender for gold, and
using the gold to buy bonds with is a
perfectly legal one, and clearly within
the right of every person to do. 1t is to
redeem the legal tender notes that the
government reserve is kept. Therefore
OF course the Secretary cannot stop the
process directly. Hence he, or some of
his subordinates, has resorted
to the indirect method of intimatlng
to the people who do it that they will
be Disseminated against, which means
that their tenders for tie bonds will not
receive SO favorable consideration as the
tenders of those people who get their
gold elsewhere. One effect of this atti-
tude has been to send gold to premium,
owners of gold taking advantage of the
reluctance of people to present legal
tender notes at tie sub-treasuries on ac-
count Of the governments threats, to
charge as high as one eight premium Tor
it. -

On the ninth and tenth pages OF this
issue of the PRESS is published a sig
nificant and interesting review OF the
seasons building operations in this VI
cinity. These operations represent an
investment of about a million dollars
and excepting thel S135, 900 expended IN
Westbrook, nearly. all of the outlay has
been within RADIUS OF two or Two an
a half miles from Portland City Hall.
1t is Portland's growth and prosperity
that has caused this aattering showing.
The residences that have been built In
Deering are almost without exception
for people whose business associations
are in this city, and whose material in
terests are bound up in Portland's well
fare. The time is comlngss when the peo-
pie will wish to join their civic destln-
les to those 'of Portland, and we feel
sure that they will be gladly welcomed.

You have to stand the competi-
ton of the labor market. Why,
. then, should sou try to shut yorr.
selves from the advantages that
the competition of TIE goods mar.
ket should give to you? 1t is not
protection that makes wages higher
here than in Germany. They were
higher here before we had any pro.
lection, and in the saturnalia of pro
lection that has reigned here for
some years past you have seen
wages 60 down. until the country is
now crowded with tramps and hun
dreds of thousands of men are no "
supported by charity What made
wages higher than in Germany is the
freer access to land the natural means
of all production, and as that is
closed up and monopoly sets in
wages must decline. What labor
needs is not protection, but justice;
not legalized restrictions which per
NIT one set of men to tax their fel.

all for the exertion of their own
powers. The real struggle for the
rights of labor and for those fair
wages which consist in the full
earnings of the laborer is the strug
gle for freedom and against monop
lies and restrictions. In the effort
to cut down protection this strug
gle is timidly beginning. ] shall
