Wages and Prices.

r. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly
trade review for last week make this
statement, which ought to be an inter-
esting to those who have been arguing
in favor of the single gold standard as
it is to those who are in favor of the
free coinage of silver.
Prices OF commodities are at the low
est level ever known. Eight years
ago in July prices averaged only 70. 60
per cent Of the prices for the same ar
ticles. and in the same markets Janu-
airy 1, 1860, and this remained the low
est point ever touched until August,
1898. when the average fell to 1916.
but early this year prices dropped be-
low all previous records and have
never recovered, the average Decem-
Der Goth being only 68.73 per cent of
the prices in 1850. The range was

The grip of the Shylocks upon the
nations of Europe makes anything like
a general war improbable. Were they
sure that war would not affect the
debt-paying capacity of the nations
engaged in it. they would not greatly
care. II they wanted to create mar
ket for their money, and felt that fur
Their loans would be safe, they would
not hesitate to set the continent by the
ears; but the debt-paying capacity of
the people has been almost, if not
quite, reached. Another straw may
break the camel's back, and they do
not care to lay on that straw. The
influence of these men explains why it
is that Europe has not ere this been
filled with the clash of resounding
arms. Conditions may arise when war
will come-but it will not come if they
can help it.
''But the jingling of the guinea helps the
hurt that honor feels,
And the nations do but murmur, snarling at
each others heels"

While criticisms are in order,
would like to say word in reply to
the editorial in this weeks REGISTER
headed, "a Leach and a SwIndle."
Truly the time has come for the Nor
NAL schools to '.moYe on" But move
on in what direction? Move on in the
noble work already exerting such a
vast influence for the education and
the work of thoroughly preparing
competent teachers to take the place
of the waning multitude of "school-
keepers" jumped up for the occasion
at some Summer Normal" or County
Institute" who "learn" their pupils
little more than the three Rs for
they know but little more themselves)
and suck the public teat-Yes, Mr..
Editor. they suck the public teat too!
Then why not suck it a little harder
and have educated and competent
teachers to start our children on the
right road to knowledge while they
are young so that they will not be so
hard to keep in the right path when
they enter high-school? 1 take it for
granted, you see, that ali high-schools
have competent teachers. But l have
not time to discuss the subject further
at this writing. 1t is subject, how
ever, that think merits the attention
of the state: and if some reader of the
REGISTER wishes to take issue with me
on it. will do all can in defense of
the Normal School system. Perhaps
our readers would be Interested in
such discussion.

very little higher at the end OF the
year, and about as low October 25th
The fall since year ago has been 81
per cent, but very unequal in different
branches. In iron and steel products
IA per cent, in wool ;3.4 per cent. in
woolens and cOttons about 5 per cent.
These changes contrast sharply with
the decline of wages paid per hour
work. which, as was shown last week,
averages only 1.2 per cent less than a
year ago.
Let it be understood that this state
ment does not refer to the price of cot
ton or wheat alone, but to the price of
all commodities. Why have all COM
modities fallen in price? There is but
one explanaiion-that which The Con-
stitution gave two years ago when it
predicted the decline that has taken
place. and that which it now gives
namely, that gold having been made
the only fundamental money of the
country, has more than doubled in val
ue, the doubling process being infall-
bly, registered in the decline of the
price of all commodities.
The purchasing power of the pro-
ducts of human labor has been reduced
one-half by reason of the increase in
the value of gold and in the value of
the paper money that represents gold.
This is what the money sharks and the
Wall street usurers call a s'sound cur
rency" and an "honest dollar" A
currency is 'ssound" and a dollar is
.shonest," in their view, only when it
robs the people of half their profits,
doubles the value of all debts and
doubles the purchasing power of the
money the gold sharks own.
The Dun circular, it will be observed,
says that labor is the only commodity
that has only slightly responded to the
general shrinkage. This is because
labor is very much alive and can fight
for itself-because it has men and
brains behind it-because it is backed
up by the power of organization.
But these things will avail nothing
in the end. Labor may fight and Or
ganize against reductions of wages,
but, under the gold standard, reduc-
tons are bound to come. Wages will
have to adjust themselves to prices,
and prices to the volume of funda men
tai money in the country. This is in
eviable. Constitution.

impractical. The time has come to
speak plainly. We have in our ranks
too many political soldiers of fortune
who are in the pay of the enemy.
Tariff Reform swept the country in
1892. The Democratic party was
placed In power upon the distinct
pledge that the tariff should be reduced
to strictly revenue basis; yet the bill
that was passed is only to very slight
degree less of a protective measure
than the Mckinley bill. Silver money
was transformed into a debt by the bill
repeating the Sherman law, and we
were placed upon the gold basis, not
withstanding the solemn pledges of the
party to the people. and notwithstand-
ing the party's record upon the silver
question, almost from it's birth. Each
of the above measures was a distinct
victory for the enemy, which conld not
have been won in AN open fight; they
were obtained by the same means that
the British attempted to capture West
Point. Our victory, won after long
years of waiting, turned to ashes in
our hands, because we never suspected
that we had traitors in our camp. The
man we honored with the highest po-
sition in the nation has left no stone
unturned to turn us over to the enemy,
