Money Not the Only Issue.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
The financial issue is a very important
one in this campaign. but it is not the only
one. The Popocrats have made the issue
plain by their platform between law and
order on one side and disregard of lag and
courts on the other. See the effect already
on our usually mild-mannered Governor
Matthews. He wants to convince. not
Democrats. but the Tillmans and Altgelds
of the Popocratic party that he can be as
radical as any. so as to stand in with
them. and we find him advising an officer
to treat an order of a United States judge
with contempt. Well. OF course. he has
cooled off by this time, Notwithstanding
the hot weather. but if he has not. my adj
vice 10 him is. don't. as there would not
be as much temporizing as there was In
1880. The old Southern politicians have
done their work we'll I'm the Chicago plat

they had a'dream of a Southern. a North
western and an Eastern Confederacy: now
they think their sectional idea has won
after a long time. in uniting. the South and
the West as against the East. Ii is dis
union in a new form If they succeed in
the election this fall. how easy will il be

TRUTH TOLD In FIGURES
THE CANDID CLUB OBTAINS INFOR-
NATION On IMPORTANT TOPICS.
Figures showing the Movement of
Prices. Wages and the Purchasing
Power of Money since 1850.

The preuptness OF the members of the
Candid Club last Saturday evening showed
that the interest is undated. Before the
club was called to order members dis
cussed various points in knots of three or
four. the main talk being about the table
of prices and money circulation or the
country, considered at the last meeting.
the general common being that II had
been shown that the money supply had not
influenced prices.
When Sergeant Hobbs had called the
club TO order he said that the regular topic
for the meeting was the presentation of
figures showing the movement of prices,
wages and the purchasing power of wages,
by Mr. Snyder.
The figures which I shall present" said
Mr.. Snyder. "are neither my own nor are
they new. While the tariff bill was under
consideration in the Senate in 1890 the
usual claim of the free-traders. that the
protective tariff had largely increased the
prices of the necessaries OF life. and that
those who worked for wages did not secure
enough more pay to make up for the high
er prices which the tariff imposed. was set
forth. The protectionists took issue. and
said that it could be demonstrated that
wages had been increasing and would pur-
chase more then that at any previous date
They also proposed that ar inquiry be
made to ascertain the facts relative to the
matter in dispute. To that end a resolu-
ton was passed directing the finance COM
mittee to make such an investigation as
would settle the matter. That committee.
after consultation, asked Colonel Wright.
OF the National Labor Bureau, to make an
inquiry as to the prices Of 225 different ar
ticles in general use from 1916 TO 1885,. and
the wages paid at the different dates.
Colonel Wright's trained men went all over
the country to ascertain the facts. The re-
suit was a report filing six large volumes
of the details of the investigation. but the
condensation of the details is embraced in
q table. the whole of which covers fifty
years in periods of five years. 1t is not
necessary for our purposes to give the fig
ures for the years prior to 1860. To bring
out the facts Colonel Wright assumed that
for 1860 100 should represent the per cent. or
price of labor and every article, and that
the changes should be measured from that
figure for 1860. The figures show the rela-
tive value of labor and products in gold"
Snyder passed about several copies of the
table. and then read slowly, as follows:
