SILVER R0BS LABOR.
CONGRESSIONAL REPORT ON EF-
FscTS OF SILVER.

Shows That Wages Are Lowered by De-
preciating silver-This Gives Manufao-
turers Some Advantage Over Foreign
Manufacturers-wages Rising In United
States, as Shown by Omciai Statistics.
At the recent session of congress the
house of representatives directed the
committee ON ways and means to inves-
tigate the alleged invasion of American
markets by cheap Japanese products
and to make an inquiry as to whether
the difference of exchange between
Japan and the United States gives the
Japanese manufacturers an advantage
over those of this country. ANer careful
inquiry into the subject Chairman Ding
ley of the committee prepared report,
stating that no articles of Importance
made in Japan outside of cheap silks,
mating, rugs, ETC., have as yet invaded
the markets of the United States, but
that with greater industrial develop
ment Japanese competition may be ex-
pected to increase. In regard to the eff
fects of the difference of exchange owing
to the fact that Japan is a silver using
country and that two japanese yen IDOL
lars) are only worth one United States
dollar, Mr.. Dingley says:
CLEARLY this difference in the value
or purchasing power of the dollar of the
two countries gives the manufacturer
no advantage in purchasing his mate
rial. Indeed, the manufacturer of cot
ton in Japan is in this respect at dis
advantage, for his cotton comes largely
from the United States, and he must
pay not only the freight but an addi-
tional charge for the risk of the fluctu-
ations of exchange resulting from the
fact that Japan does not have the none
tary standard of the commercial world.
He obtains no advantage by the sale of
his goods in the terms of q more valu-
able currency, but, on the contrary,
loses something by this brokerage
1.-THE only way in which the manu-
facturer in Japan can possibly obtain
any advantage over the manufacturer
here, from the fact that the japanese
yen, formerly equal, is now worth only
half as n3Ich as the dollar Of the United
States, must therefore be through the
failure of the wages Of labor in Japan
to rise as much as the yen has depreci-
ated in its relative value to gold since
1878; while wages in the United States
since 1878 have doubled, as estimated
in silver, and have even risen 10 per
cent as estimated in gold.
And this is what has taken place:

In other words, while on the one hand
wages remain very nearly the same in
silver in Japan as they were % years
ago, when one Japanese yen was the
equal in value to one gold dollar, not
withstanding now one gold dollar will
exchange for two Japanese yens, ON the
other hand, in the United States the
wages paid by the manufacturers are
Cor were in 1922 10 per cent higher in
gold, more than 100 per cent higher in
silver and 20 per cent higher in purchas-
ing power than they were a quarter of a
century ago, in consequence of which
the labor cost Of production in Japan is
largely diminished, while the labor cost
of production in the United States has
been increased, except as counteracted
by larger use of labor saving devices. "
1t is evident, therefore, that whateve,
advantage a manufacturer or other EN-.
ployer of labor in Japan obtains by be.
ing able to pay his labor in silver at
$1.29 per ounce, bought abroad for GS
cents per ounce, arises from practical
robbery of the japanese laborer through
the use of deprecated money.
Indeed, in recent paper ON the sub
ject, Mr.. Jameson, the English consul
at Shanghai, presents, as an advantage
of the silver standard to the manufac-
turer, that by means Of it he can lob
tain his labor at half the cost which he
formerly did"
If there are any manufacturers in this
country who are inclined to look upon
Japan's silver standard as desirable for
the United States as a means Of reduc-
ing our wages of labor and increasing
their ability to compete with the i'm
ported products Of cheap labor, they
will speedily revise any such short
sighted view when they reflect that it
is our high wages and our high stand
ard of living that make our consump-
ton per capita so much larger than that
of any other people and furnish our
manufacturers and producers with a
market for their products such as is
known nowhere else and upon which
rests the prosperity of our industries
and our country. No monetary policy
that would tend to depreciate our money
and thus diminish the wages and pro-
ducing power of the masses should be
entertained.

of the issue is about as follows For a

That is to say, the school funds were di-
vided in more or less equitable ratio
among the schools Of the various re-

and national schools. The law was

soon as the sheriff got wind of the
resolution he went before the board
and stated that he had drawn the money
in accordance with precedent, having
followed the example Of his I'M
mediate predecessor, Mr.. Foley, believing
the charges to be all right. II, hoTevar,

would willingly refund the money. But
he did not wish to have the board dis
criminate between himself and his pre-.
