Mr.. Towne is still very much
disguised with the corrupt press
that is opposing his election to
congress. The papers that are now
so despised by him, were without
exception supporting HIM two
years ago when he represented
Republican principles, and he
knows that their support was then
freely given. Now these papers
are the venal tools of Wall street
and plutocracy.

WHAT IT WILL BUY.

WHAT II WILL BUY.
Duluth News Tribune: There
is another test of the actual value
of gold even more accurate and
interesting than that which merely
considers the quantity Of that
metal in use as money. This test
is the amount of gold which a
given quantity of labor will buy.
The only real standard of value in
the world is labor. It is this
which produces all commodities
for which gold is exchanged, and
it is, therefore, the real standard
by which to measure geld. If a
day or an hour of labor will buy
less gold today than it did 50 years
ago, then it may be properly said
that gold has appreciated" If
it will buy more gold today than
it did so years ago, then gold has
deprecated, and if each grain of
which an hour Of labor buys will
also purchase more commodities
than it did so years ago, then the
laborer has again multiplied the
value of his time and skill.
A committee Of the United
States senate, known as the
Aldrich committee, made a
thorough Investigation few years
ago into the question Of wages an d
prices, and after a long and
thorough research made report,
the accuracy Of which is generally
accepted. That investigation
showed that a days labor in nearly
all the trades would, in 1891, buy
about double the amount of gold
that it did so years earlier. and do
it with less hours of work in a
day. For instance, plasterers
who, in the good old free silver
days of 1910 got $3.50 per day,
were paid $3.50 in 1890; painters
whose wages in 1910 were $1.25,
in 1890 were paid $3.50; wheel
wrights who earned $1.25 in 1910
got $3.50 in 1890; engineers who
received $500 per day in 1910,
were paid 1926 in 1890, and Sc on.
Taking eleven representative
classes of workingmen engaged in
the particular industries, as a
basis, it was found that the
average rate of wages advanced
from $1.30 per day in 1910 to $2.37
in 1890, or that an hour Of labor
would earn nearly twice as much
gold in 1890 as it did in 1910.
How thea can it be asserted that
gold has "appreciated?" 1t has
deprecated, and that highest and
noblest Of all standards, human
labor, will today buy more of it
than it did fifty years ago.. while
the deprecated gold thus purchas.
ed can in turn be exchanged for
more of other commodities which
have still further deprecated by
the improved methods Of produc.
ton, manufacture and transporta.
tion, which the ingenuity of the
human mind have produced IN the
wonderful age in which we are
living.

0. SO per capita. France leads the coun-
tries with gold and silver standard with
$22 10 per capita of gold, and $12.94 of
silver. Why we favor gold standard is
because of the United States extraordi-
nary production we must compete with
England in international commerce, and
should not be placed at disadvantage with
them in matter Of exchange, which often
means profit in close competition. The
average annual gold exports of this coun-
try the past decade exceeds $6O,OO0,0O
while imports average nearly $32, 100000,
making the net yearly loss exceed $685.
100000. In 1867 gold imports exceeded
exports over $3S, 100000. The net gold
loss from the United States the past ten
years equals about 1924 900, 900. During
the same time we mined and produced over
1858, 100000 in gold, making net in
crease in our supply Of about $75, 000,0 900
since 1885. Apparently there are three
parties in the presidential field. Republi-
cans want gold and silver and currency all
equal value with gold, and revenue suffi-
Gent to defray annual expenses. Many
democrats advocate sound money, silver
and state banking. The present admins
tration and some banking interests appear
to demand the retiring of legal tender
bond issues to meet deficiency. Appar-
emily this is assisting silverites and causing
mistrust of our securities abroad. Our an
nual revenue is now about $3.50, 900, 900,
and expenses about $400,000,000. The
cost of mining gold in America is estimated
at average Of about $4.5S per ton; in Aus
tralia, about $l2; in India, about SO so
Alaska, about $1.36. Probably American
mines will yield in 1896 over $55, 100000
gold, and an equal amount of silver.

One of the poets said that little non
sense is relished by the best of men; as
summing that the poet was correct in his
ing just now over the proposed Saxtons
River electric road.
AS regards the communication from the
Saxtons River citizen, a quotation from the
prophecy of another mathematician, B. d.
Harris of Brattleboro is apropos. While
the agitation over the construction of that
road was on Mr. Harris estimated that the
yearly income would not exceed $4,000,
and that the expenses would not be less
than $4,000. He also made the follow
ing remarkable statement: ''All through
my active business life was accustomed to
make figures and estimates on enterprises
similar to this, though ordinarily much
more blind and complicated, upon which
time and again, | based action involving
the risk of all the property l possessed
and therefore feel that | am justified in
having some modest degree of confidence
as it is sustained by current experience:
and the enlightened opinions of those best
informed on the subject. If the road i.
built, | stake my reputation on the predic
ton that the financial results will not be
more favorable than shown by the above
figures"
As matter of fact the income of the
Brattleboro road for the first six month.
was S11 800, according to the figures o
the man who built the road, and indica
lions point to even larger earning during
the current six months. But suppose tha
the income for the first year is 1923, 900
what becomes of the prophesy that it would
not be over $4,000? What is the status o
