aected the prices of all articles, the prices
of these two products have been seriously
affected by the enormous increase in their
production since the year 1872, which was
the last crop year preceding the legisla-
ton in regard to silver. The production
of cotton in this country in 1928 was
2.914, 351 bales, containing an average of
439 pounds net weight, while the produc-
ton in 1884 was 7,549,S17 bales, con-
tanning an average of Ala pounds net
weight or an increase of nearly 200 per
cent in this country alone, besides the
great increase that has taken place in
competing countries; and in 1919 the
production here was much larger, being
nearly 10,000,000 bales. According to
the statistics of the agricultural depart
ment, the production of wheat in this
country in 1872 was 249, 997, 100 bushels,
and in 1894, 460,267 ,416 bushels, or
nearly twice as much, and there has also
been an enormous increase of produc-
ton in competing countries. But, gentle
men, Notwithstanding the great increase
in the production of cotton and wheat,
here and in other countries, and the con-
Sequent decline in their prices, a given
quantity of either of them will now pur-
chase in our markets and in the markets
abroad a larger share of many other
useful commodities than it would have
purchased in 1872 or 1873, so that, in
fact, as compared with many other
things, the values of cotton and wheat
have appreciated.

THE INCREASE IN WAGES KILLS
THE THEORY ABSOLUTELY.

The one thing which has been less
affected by the changes in the relation be-
tween supply and demand, by improve
ments in the methods of production and
distribution and by the other in
fuenceS which produce fluctuations
in prices of commodities generally, is
labor, and it is by far the most i'm,
pOrtant single source of income possessed
by our people, a much larger amount be-
ing expended every year in the payment OF
wages than for any other one purpose.
The cost of labor in the manufacturing
and mechanical industries alone during
the census year 1889 was S2,2S3, 216,0
which was nearly two and one-halt times
the value of all the wheat and cotton pro-
duced in this country; and if we add to
this the amounts paid for farm labor, for
clerical and other work in mercantile es-
adjustments, for domestic service and Tor
work on railways of all kinds, on water
craft, on streets and other improvements
in the cities, and in the many other occu-
pations which give employment to our
people, we would have sum almost II
not quite, equal to the value of all our ag,
ricultural products. 1t is evident, there
fore, that if the alleged depreciation OF
gold alone has caused reduction OF
prices, the wages of labor, the greatest
commodity in the market, should have
fallen since 1878; but exactly the reverse
is true. The investigations of this sub
iect by the subcommittee covered pc
Rod of % years and embraced all the oc-
equations in which our people We're en-
gagged, and the fact, unanimously found
was that, although IS years had elapsed
since the silver legislation, the wages Of
labor were higher than in 1872 or 1878
Wages were found to be nearly 81 per
cent higher than in 1860, which was Is
years before the silver legislation, and
more than per cent higher than in 1873,
when that legislation was adopted.

am just in receipt of trustworthy ad-
vices from nOn-Armenian source of
the Lake Van, to the effect that a mas
sacre is looked for at every moment. 1t
is fact which the British government
can verify by consulting the report of
Mr.. Patton, an official of the British CON
sulate at Tebriz, Persia, that on several
occasions, Turkish officials in the de-
vastated districts of Persia have tried
hard to save the Armenians from death
and their property from destruction, but
when they protested against the murder
Gus raids Of the troops, the officers read
to them the orders of the sultan and so
nothing could be done.
Mr. Patton has lately returned to
Tebriz from an investigating tour among
Armenian refugees along the border be,
tween Persia and Turkey. He found
plenty of them from the Lake Van and
MOosh districts, but not one from Sas-
SCUM. There are no Sassoun survivors
in Ouramania, Salinas, Diliman, Khoi,
Tebriz or any other place in Persia, and
so very few in Russia that they are most
difficult to find. This absence of Sas-
SCUM people among so many refugees
from other districts of Eastern Armenia.
suggests the dreadful possibility that few
of those wretched people escaped the
massacre. The investigation of Mr..
Patton along the Persian border has been
confirmed and confirms the facts in n
general way, which ! have medically
obtained during the past eight weeks.
He has collected many heartrending sto-
ries of persecution, robbery, outrage and
murder and as reasonable proof that
the refugees who gave testimony to him
told the truth, it may be said in general
way, that the facts obtained in different
places were practically the same. The
events of the massacre were so horrible
that even the chronic eaggeration of the
Armenian minds fail to add anything to
them.
Mr.. Patton was accompanied on his
tour Of investigation by Mr.. Wright, an
American missionary, stationed at Sal
mas. These gentlemen took the testil
mony from several witnesses to the effect
that when the Turkish soldiers and Kurds
appeared at Il certain village they killed
some of the villagers who dared to pro-
test against their Outrages and many
Of the dead men were cut up and thrown
into a kettle and boiled in a manner like
so much beef.
The boiled pieces were then given to
the villagers for food. The Wretched
creatures were compelled to eat their
friends to the last mouthful.
In another village, party of Kurds
found child asleep in a cradle. They
overturned the cradle and smothered the
child. Then they dissected the body
and roasted pices Of it before the fire.

Then Ee said, with meditative look and very calm retrospective voice, that he was once very much in love with native girl in India and might have become permanently devoted to her were it not for the accident of his being ordered back to England summa- rily.

Then it was too late to draw back.

It had vibration which made some of his words organlike in sound. She felt the influence of it. She said, little faintly, her fingers toying with hydrangea: II am afraid do not understand. There is no reason why you should not go to Greyhope without my permission.
