In the eyes OF Socialists the goal to be at

and demand. n Guyot tells us that one OF
them once said to him: We'll. then. you Co.

mulgated In any code. II imposes itself upon
mankind in as implacable . manner as hunger

Now. what Is the so allied iron law o. wages
LAssalle. who Invented the phrase attributed
the form ulAtion Of the law to Ricardo. accord
Ing to whom. he said. the average OF the
wages OF labor is fixed By the indispensable
nsesssAries OF life" What Ricardo really
ESsrTed was; The natural price OF labor Is
that price which Is necessary to enable the
laboEers, one with another to subslst and to
DsTpetuate thoir race without either increase
or diminuton." But this proposition he toned
down by adding; It Is not 10 be understood
that the natural price OF labor. estimated even
IN food and accessories. Is fixed and constant.
1t varies at different tlmss in the same eoun-
tEE and Very materially differs In different
sountries. An English laborsr would consider
his wages too seAnty to support his family. II
thsy enabled him 10 purchase no other food
thAa potatoes and to live Ia no better
hAbitatlon than a mud cabin" II the French
Socialists themselves believed in the existence
Of an iron Law Of wages. they would seek 20
check It's operation where. AS In PARA. they

Another alleged law which the Socialists have
professed to borrow from tho orthodox econo-
mists Is tho so-called Malthusian law. accord
ing to which population grows 10 geometric
progression while the means OF subsistence
only increase In arithmetical progression.
Theinference drawn Is that population tends
to outrun the means OF subsistence. But
Nautilus himself saw that no group OF human
beings had ever proved the accuracy OF this
law. 30 far from this priori conception being
confirmed by experience. tho facts bear wit
ness to q contrary tendency. They show that
the means OF subsistence increase moro
rapidly than the consumers. Thus in
the United States between 1850 and 1880
the population Increased by 127 per cent. but
the wealth by 500 per cent. In France. too.
between 1851 and 1901 population has been
nearly stationary. yet tho official return OF in
herited wealth per inha bitant has more than
doubled. and this In spite OF the concealment
practised as to the real value OF personal prop
srty. In England. likewise. the population by
no means keeps pace with the wealth. In truth
had Aalthus's law been verified by experience
there would long since have been not a spot of
Garth upon the planet left undisposed Of

Steam GauRea

A writer i'll Machinery points out the
fact. as asccrtained by examination, that
but very few steam gauges are correct
throughout the whole range OF the scale
and remarks that in testing gauge it
Is desirable to make the pressure ut
which steam is usually carried the most
important point to be determined A
gauge may be correct at low pressure
and not 80 at higher pressures, and the
reverse may also be found, especially
with gauges that have been in use some
time By many it is not considered nd
visablo to use gauge for recording pres.
sures as high as that shown on the dial,
a. few springs will stand such an ex-
tension without becoming permanently
BED, to certain extent, this being cs
pec1ally the case with the cheaper
gauges 1t is. according to this writer,
not difficult matter to devise means
for comparing with tost gauge any
kind of force pump serving the purpose,
or tho boiler feed pump may be util.
lied Again. gauges can be tested by fit
ting them to a piece Of lead pipe, q
gauge Mt either end, the pipe being bent
to bring tho gauges vertically.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE,
New York Stock Market.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The early trad
ing at the stock exchange was characte ter
lzea by feverlshness and the course of
prices was very irregular. A drive was
made at tho start against the CHANGERS
and Sugar and the bears were more in
evidence than for days past. They 40
complished little, however, and af Ter the
expiration OF the first hour OF business
they were compelled to act on the de-
ienAtve. Their sales in the early trad
ing brought about q decline OF A@X
per cent. Missouri Pacific leading the
downward movement, but the declining
tendency WAS soon checked and near ii
o'clock speculation becsme steadier.
In the afternoon the impression
gained ground that the President would
sign the German bill, and operators
showed disposition to branch out once
more. Distillers led at this time, one of
the firm taking 5000 shares up to 81.
AS the concern has been identified with
the negotiations looking to the placing
OF the S5,000,000 loan said to be needed
by the company to get its product out of
bond the transaction attracted atten-
ton. So far as the loan ia concerned
the street is as much mixed as ever.
Operators can be found who declare that
1t has been placed, while others are
equally certain that the company has
not and can. not got the money here. In
the meantime pending statement from
othclals the manipulatora OF the stock
are milking the street at great rate.
Sugar was forced down half q point to
ll2& at the opening but soon recovered
and on good buying advanced to 114ss.
In the last hour 1t suddenly sold off to
1l3A and later returned and closed at
li3%. Railway issues conspicuous in
the afternoon rise were the Changers,
Louisville and Nashville, Lake Shore,
Missouri Pacific, Northern Pacific, pre-
ferred, New England, Wheeling and
