Effect of Imitation.
SENATOR LODGE.

Well, it is easy to mark up prices. A
man can go over his stock of goods in
the morning and mark them up with a
blue pencil; but you cannot go over the
salaries and the wages of this country
with a blue pencil in the morning and
mark them UP.
During our war, when we had an in
flated currency and prices rose, the aver
age price Of commodities rose SO per
cent; labor rose about 20 per cent.
There was net loss to labor of about
so per cent, a net reduction Of wages to
that extent Labor always, in case of
a deprecated currency, lags behind 9th
er prices. It is inevitable; all history
and all experience shows it. They tried
it in France in the last century: they
tried the imitation of the currency TO the
last extent. You read the history of
that period; you find in the debates of
the French convention at the time of the
Revolution which resembled a good
deal in many respects, the convention at
Chicago-you find it constantly said:
1--WE are SO great; France ii SO powerful,
SO civilized. So free, that she can raise
tie price De money, she can Inainfain
