The Gold Dollar Measured by Labor.

The proper test of the value of an ar
ticle is the labor required to produce it.
The test applies as we'll to the gold
dollar as to everything else.
If less labor is required now to pro-
duce gold dollar than was required in
1850 or in 1873-that is, if given
amount of gold will purchase less labor,
or if, in other words, wages are higher
then by the labor test. the only gen
uine test, the gold dollar must have
gone down instead of up
And no silver advocate has attempted
to deny that wages have risen.
The senate report on wages and prices
made in 1892 shows conclusively that
wages have increased over 68 per cent
since 1860 and nearly "a per cent since
1870--in gold.
The purchasing power of wages has
increased over rs per cent since 1860
and nearly SO per cent since 1870.
The cost Of gold, measured by labor,
has declined Al per cent since 1860 and
nearly 23 per cent since 1870.
Taking the cost of gold, measured by
labor. in 1860 as the standard of COM
parison, tho cost Of gold from 1870 to
1891, tho last year included i'll the AL
drich senate report, has declined as fol

But like many other busy men, Mr..

and soon his strength gave way to a
condition of helplessness. This dread
disease produces more agony, he says,

Rheumatism Is a condition of the
blood which has always baftied the
doctors, and it is a popularity that
those who once have it are sure to al
ways be subject to its attacks from
time to time. The reason of this is
that the doctors are only able TO give
temporary relief, but cannot rid the
system of the disease permanently.

Labor,s Commission to Mexico.

The report of the commission of in
quiry sent to Mexico by the Chicago
Trade and Labor assembly to investi-
gate the social and industrial conditions
that prevail under the silver standard
in that country was recently made pub
lie.
This commission consisted Of Messrs.
Mas and Enright, members of the Chi
cago Trade and Labor assembly, who
were selected with no reference TO any
predictions on the currency question
which they may have entertained.
The report is a scathing and unan-
swerable arraignment of silver mono
metallism as a currency system. 1t is
a staggering blow to the free silver prop
uganda that seeks to deceive and be-
tray American labor. The revelations
it contains are singing rebuke to the
repudiationists who are endeavoring to
persuade American mechanics that
their condition can be improved by
Mexicanizing our currency.
In the comforts and necessities of life
the Mexican laborers, according to the
Investigations Of Messrs. Mas and En-
right, are down to the minimum, and
in no time in history could their condi-
ton have been more deplorable, or the
race would be extinct. Special stress is
laid on the significant fact that the
principal inducement offered capital to
invest in Mexico is the cheap native Ia
Dor to be found and the absence of all
danger Of strikes This fact alone should
be sufficient to impel American labor to
resist with all its mighty power the
attempts to Mexicanize our currency.
Under the silver standard i'll Mexico
labor is the cheapest commodity in the
country In Mexico to don the raiment
of toll is to wear the garb of servility."
The toiler lives and dies a veritable
beast Of burden and performs his tasks
with the impassive Indifference of an
automaton.
1t deserves the careful study and con-
sideration of every intelligent American
wageworker 1t is entitled to his re-
spectful credulity, because it comes not
from economic scholars or from dreamy
sociological theorists. but from plain
toilers, Injured to the hard knocks OF
the factory and workshop"

Rheumatism.
nooilshine

The busiest and most useful men
are not always exempt from sickness.
Especially are they liable to be at
tackled and completely disabled by that
most annoying and painful aiiment--
Rheumatism. Men in all walks of life
are subject at any time to be seized
with this disease, and besides the great
bodily pain, there is almost unbearable
mental anguish at the thought of hav-
ing ones strength and vigor gradually
supplanted by a condition of utter
hclplessness. Under the effects of
Rheumatism, the strongest men be-
come the weakest, and the most useful
are robbed of their usefulness.
Mr.. ]. A. LeSeur has lived in At
1anta, Ga, for years, and some of the
prettiest residences and most substan-
tia1 business blocks of that city are
monuments to his skill as an architect
and builder.

The quality of a circulation is even
more important than the quantity. Nu-
merous devices for enlarging credit
may, and often do, avert the evils of a
deficient circulation, and a redundancy
may sometimes modify its own evils be-
fore their results become universal, but
for the baleful effects Of debased and
fluctuating currency there is no remedy
except by the costly and difficult return
to sound money. As poison in the blood
permeates arteries, veins, nerves, brain
and heart, so does debased and huctu-
ating currency permeate all the arteries
of trade, paralyze all kinds of business
and bring disaster to all kinds of people.
How many hours day. at 81 cents
an hour, Mexican style, would an Amer
lean workingman have to work in order
to own his own house? That is a free
silver question.

the financial burdens which the legisla-

posed on the people. They were evils
which brought misery and want to the

Ohio senator and the president were
together in their financial views, both
equally obliviOus to the constitutional
requirements that metals were to be on
equal terms. 1t was the Ohio senator
who originated the evil of selling bonds

Morgan said
'"The senator from Ohio is the author
