Why Labor Gets Lett.

The prices of what wage earners
have to buy respond far more prompt.
ly to.changes in the quality of money
than do wages-the prices at which
labor is sold. Hence, whenever
money is getting better, though nom
inal wages mayI tend to decrease,
wage earners are constantly
getting more goods in ex.
change for the money they actually
get for their labor; and whenever
money is getting poorer, through nom
inal wages may tend to increase, wage
earners are constantly getting less of
the necessaries and comforts of life in
return for the wages they receive.
Appreciation of the dollar in which
wages are paid, and consequently
lower prices, is, therefore, constantly
and certainly to the advantage of the
wage Garner. Depreciation of the
dollar. and consequently higher prices,
is always and certainly to his damage.
Hon. John Dewitt Warner.

The Atlanta Constitution has tenn
porarily abandoned its attacks on the
''Shylocks" and "Gold Kings" of Wall
street in order to point out the dan
ger to America of Japanese competition
in manufactured goods. In long
editorial, based on the prices at which
an imaginary agent of Japanese manu-
facturers was alleged to be ready to sell
matches, bicycles and other articles,
the Constitution urges the adoption
of free coinage as the only possible
remedy against food of cheap goods
from japan. If the United States will
double prices by measuring its wealth
in fifty-cent dollars. thel wise Atlanta
editor is sure that the Japanese will
not be able to compete with us. Or
in other words, the gold standard has
forced prices down SO low that the
Japanese can now undersell our man
ufacturers. But if we change our
standard of value so that our goods
will be twice as dear, then the low
priced Japanese products will not
come in. A truly original and brill
liant ideal

A number of Western Popnlis

A number of Western Populists,
principally in Kansas. are trying to
promote scheme for great railroad
from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico.
II these men really believed in the
free silver doctrines which they preach
they would try to do away with rail-
roads altogether, instead OF seeking to
build new ones. They constantly
denounce low prices as an evil to be
cured by big doses of cheap money.
Yet they advocate a better method of
transporting farm products which
would most certainly reduce freight
rates, and therefore cheaper wheat,
corn, meat, etc., in the markets where
they are sold. If cheapness is a bad
thing, then the Populists should tear
up the railroad tracks, burn the steam
ships and destroy all kinds of improved
machinery. Goods would then become
scarce and dear, and nobody would be
subject to the danger of buying things
too cheap.

will get no more than he does now,
but nominal prices will be doubled.
As the number of dollars paid for PEN
sions is fixed, it follows that II paid in
silver dollars the pensioner would re-
ceive only one.half as much, measured
in commodities, rent, etc, as he does
under the gold standard.
These are facts which the silverites
have never attempted to deny. Nor
have they ever proposed to double the
pensions which are paid to the old
soldiers, their widows aud orphans
Now, then, can they expect the coun-
try to adopt financial system which

In view of the unfounded delusions
in which great and wise men have at
some time believed, it is not surpris-
ing that the preachers of the gospel of
more money, higher prices and car
rency imitation, should at first have
been eagerly welcomed by the farmers,
and in some States by other classes as
well. Did not tho farmer sell his pro-
ducts for money, and was it not nat
ural that he should suppose that if
the stock of money was increased he
would receive more of it? Gould not
money be exchanged for wealth, and
was it not therefore evident that
doubling the volume of money would
double the total quantity of wealth.
High authorities--United States Sem
ators, Congressman, etc. believed, or
professed to believe, that the simple
remedy of adopting q cheaper meas
ure of value would abolish poverty
and make everybody prosperous. So
for time the farmers accepted the
promise of free coinage as a mems Of
deliverance from all their troubIes.

SMALL CHANGE.

The silverite Senators are just now
behaving like the small boy who
whines 'If I can't have my own way,
then I won't play" They know that
a free coinage bill cannot possibly
pass the House, SO they sulk and re-
fuse to allow measure for the relief
of the Treasury to become law. In
thus checking needed legislation these
Senators are injuring the best inter-
ests of their constituents and of the
whole country. Fortunately the terms
OF many of them will soon expire.

A New Way to Swindle Old Soldiers.

The value of the p ension secured by
the wounded veterans, whose monthly
payment from the government is in
great many cases their sole support, de-
ponds entirely upon its purchasing
power. II that power be high, it will
buy much larger supply Of the me-
cessities OF life than if calculated in
cheap dollars. 1t requires no argu-
ment to prove that, if this country
adopts the silver standard, prices as
based on dollars containing so cents
worth OF silver will be just twice as
high as they are now. Values will be
no higher, and the farmer or worker

7 The worst enemy of the .unselfsh pa
triots who are willing to sacrifice
themselves by filling all the public
Offices, and bowling for ''free silver or
bust" between meal times, is not the
wicked banker or the gold bug, but
the hardened villain who complies
statistics. To slightly change the
complai int of the Leadville saloon
keeper, who pointed to the spire of a
little church with the remark: SITS
them blamed preachers that's ruinin'
the business of this here community"
it may as well be admitted that it is
the blamed statisticians who are knock
ing the stufirg out of the silverite ar
guments. For instance, here comes
Mr.. Richard P. Rothwell, editor of
the Engineering and Mining Journal,
and gives figures which prove beyond
all dispute that the worlds produc.

Time Enough Then.

When the silver miner and bullion
owner shall have established by legis-
lation government grist mills. which
shall convert every 30 cents worth of
farmers wheat into dollar of -four,
it will be time enough for the farmer
to advocate laws which shall convert
every so cents worth Of silver bullion
into dollar of coin.-J. Sterling

Professor W. g. Sumner, of Yale
University, in his COLLECTED Essays
| in Political Science" writes chapter
| in which he exposes the fallacies oil
bimetallism, "and Professor J. Laurence
Laughlin formerly Of Harvard Uni
versity, now of Chicago University, in
his "History of Bimetallism in the
United States. exhibits the historical
facts which indisputably prove that
one nation cannot maintain q double
standard.
Simon Newcomb, the eminent math-
ematician, in his "Principles of
Political Economy" describes (pp.
153-155) what recommendation and
bimetallism mean, and Of the later he
remarks: Difficulties have been found
in making scheme involving all these
features work satisfactorily
HenryDunning Macleod. of Trinity
College, Cambridge, England. IN his
recent volume on 'tBimetallism" shows
that India has tried the experiment
unnecessarily; that England enda-
vored to maintain it for more than
400 years and failed and that France
made the same futile effort for more
than 500 years.
W. Stanley Jevons, the eminent
English writer, in his "Money and the
Mechanism of Exchange" devotes
chapter to "The Battle of the Stand
ards" In speaking of the discussion
among European economists, he says
(pp. 136-130: "The advantages of
the double standard have been most
ably advocated by M. Walowski,
Courcelle-Seneuil, Seyd, Leon, Prince,
Smith and others, while MN. Chevalier,
de Parieu, Henricks, Frere, Orban,
Levasseur, Feer-Herzog and Juglar
have been some of the leading uphold
srs of the gold standard" Ii
His representation for the future !
.p. 149) is that "Asia and Russia seem
likely to uphold silver against the rest &
If the world adopting gold;" and he /
adds: 'In such result there seems {
o be nothing to regret In his q
asst volume, investigations in Cur
ency and Finance" p. 316). in speak G
ng of us: ''In trying to establish a Q
money, the American nation t
you'd be setting themselves against t
Fl esistible natural tendencies so as to q

Professor Tausigg, of Harvard Uni a

against bimetallism, both 81
