Frozen Yegetables In the nnrl,

The fact that some vegetables may
be frozen while in the ground without
injury, provided they are not disturbed
until thawed, has led to the belief that
the soil somehow draws" the frost
out. Really what the covering does is
to exclude light. 1t is very injurious
to frozen vegetables to be exposed to
light and currents Of air Light causes
rot, partly, we suppose, because in the
light oxygen, which is the basis of all
decay, is much more active than it is
in the darkness.

How the English Police Got Evidence

selves as coachmen, mutes and mourn
ers, says the Westminster Gazette.
Thus disguised they reached the tavern,
entered, and, true to the lmmemorlal
custom Of funeral parties, ordered re-
freshments; then they looked about
them, found evidences of guilt and
summoned the tavern-keeper. He must
have felt much as Hamlet did about

solemn black" They are indeed things
that men may feign, but he would prob
ably call them in this case traps"

wages reduced TO g0lQ, relatively
to 100 in the years from 1910 to
1891, using two different methods
"The fact that this table goes
back to 1860 allows us to call the
attention to the verifcation of an
economic truth that in times of
paper imitation wages do not 90 up
as rapidly as the paper depreciates.
Hence the gold value of wages. in
the years 1868 1865 fell in strik-
ing way. And if laborers are ever
approached by men who advocate
more money as benefit to them,
let them appeal to the period of too
much money in the paper issues Of
the civil war as resulting in a re-
duction of their wages. The rea-
son of it is plain enough; a rate
of wages gets customary, when ex-
pressed in dollars, as, for instance,
So day without regard to what
can be bought by the 50, Then, if
the money gets cheaper and the
prices go up, it is long time be-
fore the laborer can convince his
employer that he should raise his
wages.
"Prices of the goods go up quick
ly enough, while his wages lag.
And just here is the reason the
laborer does not care to see free
coinage of silver, because by free
coinage the prices Of the laborer's
goods would go up to double what
they are now. But under the
present situation the laborer has
been gaining. He has no interest
in seeing prices go up. And yet
"Coin" is constantly lamenting
that prices have fallen since 1873.
Does he think it a crime if work
ingmen can thereby buy more than
in 1873? Why does he lament at
something which is of decided adj
vantage to the laborer?
SIN brief, of compared with gold
a laborer could command in wages
more in 1891 than in 1873, for
every $14S.3 he got in 1873 he gets
$160.7 in 1891. But the laborer is
concerned with how much
his wages will buy. In 1891 he
gets more gold for his days work
than in 1872, but of still more i'm
portance to him is the fact that his
money buys more food and COM
forts. So far as goods have fallen
while wages have risen he gains

indicates the gain to the laborer,
but not the whole gain, for not

fallen in these percentages, but his

First Know You are Right, Then

W. hnOdus
On the money question at this
particular time our greatest minds
are at work to solve the problem
and to bring to the people such leg
islation as will be for their best
interests. We have found many
men who are confident that
they have formulated the needed
legislation, and that there is no
mistake about it. Yet among these
great men there are differences of
opinion, and while we are willing
to give the result of thought and
research from great men, we shall
withhold any opinion we may now
have until we are sure we have the
theory which will relieve our pres
ent financial needs, and which will,
at the same time, maintain our
credit with foreign countries.
For the thoughtful reader, one
who takes nothing for granted, and
who is willing to read, think and
arrive at his own conclusions, we
append the following article on
silver and the laborer from the
pen of Lawrence Laughlin, Profess
sor of Political Economy, Univer-
sity of Chicago:
The withdrawal of permission
to coin silver dollar pieces in 1873
one would not think could stop all
productions, AS money is means
of exchanging goods already pro-
duced, it is hard to realize how a
matter Of exchange can affect all
production. But "COin" has made
the discovery! He says the act of
1873 was "a crime because it has
made thousands paupers. 4
a crime because it has brought
tears to strong mems eyes, and
hunger and pinching want to wild
Ows and orphans. A crime, be-
cause it is destroying the honest
yoemanry of the land, the bulwark
of the nation" Up. liz. In
short, the laboring class are ground
down by the act of 1873, according
to Coin" Again let US confront
Coins statements with the facts
and it can be seen once more how
utterly untrustworthy he is.
THE Senate report on "Whole-
sale Prices and Wages" (vol. l p.
III says: Wages reached high
point in the years 1S7I-1S72. After
1873 there was a marked falling
off. The ground then lost was
gradually regained until to-day
wages are about the same point
as they were in lS71-1S72. "Coin"
must have overlooked this point.
But he was probably too much en-
gagged in arranging for his trumpo
procession to the hotel to look upt
the facts correctly. So it will be
well to get this matter perfectly
clear before the public. Taking 100
as the basis in 1850, the Senate re-
port oil J., 2. 1900 gives the
