Money cannot be got honestly in this
country without hard work. The Re
publican party's aim is to legislate so
that labor will have a chance for steady
work. Then the money question will
regulate itself

One of the most compact statistical
tables illumining this currency ques-
tion which has yet appeared has re-
Gently been compiled by Edward At
kinson. Mr.. Atkinson is a man with
many idiosyncrasies. but as a stalls
tican he ranks among the best. There
is no safer authority in this country
on a subject of this kind. Here is the
table in question. Taking the condi-
tions prevalent in 1860 as the starting
point, it shows subsequent

Authority-Senate report on prices and
wages compiled under the direction of
Commissioner Carroll d. Wright.
l. Average prices Of articles Of common
use selected according to their relative
Importance composing 6S60 per cent. of
total expenditures computed by Professor
A. p. Falconer.
II. Relative wages of workmen aver
aged according to the Importance of the

coner.
III. Ratio of prices to wages converted
into purchasing power, computed by Ed
ward Atkinson. A simple average of all
f-prices and all wages give closely corre-

United States mint.
1t will be observed that while wages
since 1860 have Increased under the
gold standard nearly 20 per cent. in
amount and nearly so per cent. in pur-
chasing mower. the fall in silver has
gone on with scarcely any Interrupt
ton. Had we been on the silver stand
ard during this time the reverse of
these conditions would have been ex-
peiienccd; namely. declining wages
and purchasing power with increasing
prices. This table shows very con-
clusively to any one who will study it
attentively that the gold standard is
labor's best friend.

The commotion which is being made
over the report that Bryan Is In the
pay of the Bimetallic League is another
case of much ado about nothing. 1t will
be generally conceded that the silver
barons have right to hire a special
pleader if they want to; and If they
have hired Bryan they have obviously
shown good judgment.

The capture of last weeks York coun-
ty primaries by John Wanamaker Is
ascribed in some quarters to the same
tactics that have characterized the pro-
motion of this particular senatorial
boom in other localities. Mr.. Wana-
maker has returned from Europe and
must be assumed to be cognizant of the
methods which are being employed in
his behalf. Consequently II Is not in
justice to him to infer that his candi-
dacy for a seat in the senate of the
United States rests mainly upon the
readiness with which his bank account
is supposed to respond to sight drafts for
services rendered. In any other sense
that candidacy offers few recommends
tions, and sinks into ihsignificance beside
a candidacy of real merit like that of
Daniel II. Hastings. We sincerely
trust that the auction block will not be
set up at Harrisburg next winter

and sometimes silver. depending en-
tirely on the variations in the relative
value OF the two metals: and at
such times the netal which was not the
standard would be melted and with.
drawn from circulation, as its value
would be greater than In coin. This
was an Inconvenience which it was
highly desirable should be remedied,
but so slow is the progress Of improve
ment that although 1t had been univer-
sally demonstrated by Mr.. Locke. and
had been noticed by all writer's on the
subject Of money since his day. a better
system was never adopted till the ses-
sion of parliament in 1916. when 1t was
enacted that gold only should be legal
tender for any sum exceeding forty
shillings."
The country to which we are con-
stantly and specially pointed as being
''bi-metallic" is France; and we hear,
over and over again, in the writings
and speeches of the advocates Of silver.
that France maintained the parity of
the metals for centuries and remained
bi-metallic. Let US hear what Cheval-
ier professor of political economy in
the college of France, and member of
the Institute, says in regard to the con-
current circulation of gold and silver in
France: Il remember" he says, that
a change of one and a half per cent. in
favor of gold. about thirty or forty
years ago. caused it to disappear en-
tirely from commercial payments"
This was written in 1851 and Chevalier
was at that time a staunch advocate
of silver. in our own country it 'e
familiar fact that prior to 1878 gold and
silver never circulated side by side.
Sometimes silver had the field to itself
and sometimes gold. but there was no
permanent parity and never any concur
renee of circulation. Yet prior to 1873
silver's commercial value was greater
than 16 to 1, and consequently parity
should have been infinitely easier of
accomplishment than it would be today,
when the commercial value Of silver is
to the commercial value of gold in
the proportion of nearly 32 to l.
The fact is, parity under unlimited
coinage of silver. if possible of achieve
ment at all, is possible only through
concurrent action by az the principal
commercial nations. No one nation
and no two or even three nations, could
hold so cent silver up to the level Of
10O-cent gold, any more than King
Canute of England could by imperial
edict order back the rising tide at the

A POINTER FOR sAL,T LAKE.

PORTLAND. Ore, June 29-John
McGinnis and John O'Brien, both men
of many aliases and both notorious
bank robbers, were captured in Van
couver late yesterday afternoon by
Detective Joseph Day of this city, and
are now safely housed in the Clarke
county Jail. A man giving his name
as Fred Martin, who was with the
pair, was also arrested.
When captured the trio were found
to be equipped with pistols, dark
lanterns, sticks of dynamite, fuse and
caps. a big bunch of skeleton keys and
several pair of new oarlocks. 1t is
believed that they intended to rob a
Vancouver bank last night, steal a.
boat and be off down the river before
daybreak this morning.
O'Brien is wanted in Savannah,
Missouri, where with two accomplices,
he looted bank safe of $4,000 worth
of bonds.
