POINTERS TO PROFIT

Very many classes of goods
never before touched such
low prices as have ruled this
past summer, But now we've
started to change a summer
store into an autumn store.
Hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars worth of merchandise
must be quickly turned to
cash and into goods again.
We're always willing to lose
money wisely, and it is wise
losing if it hastens this annual
m~etamorphose of the store.
The daily store news now is
largely made up Of notes of
price reductions-of price in

The political grip of Thos. G. Platt in
New York seems to be 80 secure that he
would rather be 'the power behind the
throne" than to be on the throne. The
Governorship was his for the taking. and
in fact the Republican Convention at Sara
toga this week tried to harness him as
the candidate, but he would not, and
Congressman Black was made the
standard bearer. Mr.. Plat will see that he
is elected, and then he will look after the
concerns of State Government.

What Makes the Rate of Wages.

From the abundance of statistical in
formation at his command and with his
keen discrimination in noting cause and
effect, Mr.. Edward Atkinson has reasoned
it out that the prospective price of all
products governs the present rate of
wages paid in the production. The money
paid out in wages now must be recovered
from the selling price of the product at
some point in the future, neal or remote.
If the prospect is good for high or fairly
remunerative prices wages naturally and
inevitably get the benefit of this; if such
prospect is poor, wages fall in sympathy
with it; when the outlook is SO bad as to
discharge production altogether, labor is
not in demand at all, and the laborer is
unemployed.
Conditions that enable the managers of
capital to correctly foreoa st the future de.
mand for manufactured products and to
make use of capital or credit in such a
way as not to expand the capital, while at
the same time paying the highest rate of
wages consistent with eff ,iency and at
the least cost per unit of product, are
what benefit the wage Garner. The agita-
tion of the free coinage of silver scheme
has been and is largely destructive OF
these conditions. The prospect of a cut
of 80 per cent. in the purchasing power of
a dollar confuses all forecasts as to the
future prices of products. 1t keeps wages
down.
1t is a duty that the American wage
Garner owes to himself to do everything
within his power to stop this agitation
now and to prevent its recurrence. His
own vote and every other vote that be
can Influence for Mckinley will be a
means to this end. The complete over
throw of the free coinage party will pro.
duce conditions that must inevitably and
Immediately benefit the wage Garner. To
vote otherwise would be to fight with his
bread and butter.-N. 2. Adoertiser.

The Republican State Convention, for
the nomination of Presidential electors,
was held in Trenton yesterday. Gov.
Griggs presided and made a ringing
speech for the maintenance of a sound
financial policy and the national credit.
The following Presidential electors were
chosen /: At large. Samuel FL. Grey, of
Camden, and John F. Dryden, of Newark.
The District Electors were First, T. w.
Trenchard, Bridgeton; Second, Colonel
Washington A. Roebling, Trenton Third.
Adolph Mack, Somergille; Fourth, A. b.
Whitney, Morristowp; Fifth, ]. Hull
Browning, TenafS; Sixth, James T. Ball,
Newark; Seventh, George F. Perkins,
Jersey City; Eighth, Ernest Alderman,
Plainfield. The platform adopted declares
for adherence to the principles of protec-
ton to American industries and the
preservation of the integrity of our cur
reney, and extends a cordial welcome to
those of our citizens who, while still iden-
titled with the Democratic party intend to
vote for Mckinley and Hobart. New
Jersey is evidently in line to do her best

The men who work in the Colorado
silver mines for wages want to be sure
that if free coinage come, they shall get
their share of the profits of it. A com
mittee of working miners have issued a
proclamation or the subject. This is
what they say: "The silver miners OF
your State ask for free coinage at 16 to L.
If they succeed their silver, which is now
sixty-nine cents an once, will jump to
$1.29-a clear profit of eighty.fve per
cent. in legal tender currency. Now
where do you come in? Before you vote
for free silver compel your employers to
guarantee that you shall have yonr fair
share Of the profits. If they gain eighty.
five per cent. your wages should advance
eighty-five per cent. also. Insist upon
your rights while you are able" There
seems to be a good deal of reason in this
demand, and yet, perhaps, the silver mine
owners may think that it is an o~ver-exact-
ing one. However, if free silver is to
jump the price of silver to 81 30 an ounce,
the miners ought to share somewhat in
the advance.

The sound money Democrats of Penn
sylvania have organized a new party,
which they have named the Jeffersonian
party. They held a convention in Phila-
delphia on Tuesday, adopted a declara-
tion Of principles, named electors and
appointed delegates to the Indianapolis
convention. AS they have adopted the
platform of the recent State convention,
it looks as if they are in reality the
regulars, while those are the boilers who
have discarded these principles for those
of the Populists.

Everybody is entitled to his opinion.
All will not be of the same opinion, but
the political issues of the day should be
discussed in a tolerant spirit. Ali the
virtues are not wrapped up in one party,
but both have claims upon them. There
is usually something to be learned by
listening to a thoughtful, earnest talker,
whether you agree with him or not. And
it is not probable that you know it all

and to bewail the anticipated ruin that
would result if free coinage became the
law. The action of the bishop has
already borne fruit in many ways, some
OF which were not wholly anticipated
A number of the lesser clerical lights,
taking their cue from the bishop, have
denounced free silver and the Democracy
from their pulpits on the Sabbath. If
this thing 80 early begun in the present
campaign is continued, there is danger
that much harm will follow.
Sunday afternoon last, Evangelist
Harrison, better known as the .boy

Newman. Judging from his remarks,
one would naturally suppose that Mr..
Harrison had spent more time 10 STUDY
ing the silver question than he had in
meditation on the teachings of the
Discipline Of his own church, saying
nothing of the stirring admonitions on
Prohibition contained in the quadrennial
address of the bishops at the last session
OF the General Conference. 1t is sur.

This is the direct loss caused by the

the indirect loss is as much more. This
enormous amount of money, which is
diverted from the channels of industry

more to bring business depression,
