By means of this chart he endeavored
to show three things:
|. That, beginning with 1873 there
has been an une1ampled and luinous
falp' in the prices of commodities.
2. That there has been during the
same years a practically parallel fall in
the price of silver; and that silver is,
therefore. an almost ideal measure of
value.
g. That this "fall in Erices' has been
the result of the so-called 'domonetiza-
tom of silver; and, by inference, that
remonetization'' of silver would RE
store prices to their former level. OF

As we look upon the chart our first i'm
pulse is to say that, unless its allegations
are untrue, the differences of my colleague
are fully established. But when we look
farther into the matter we shall find that

the chart will reveal three facts which
arc exceedingly important in this discus
sion, namely:
l. That in the period extending IRON
fall in average prices was practically the
same as that which has taken place since
1878. And had the table extended back
ten years further the former fall would
be seen to have beel much the greater,
for prices ranged much higher for some
years before 1918 than In that year.
glance at the chart will substantiate this
statement, for the price line IN ioio
shows that it marks, not the beginning
of a fall, but one which had boon for
some time in progress.

Thrifty France.

"In France" said Max Schottek,
who represents great American dry
goods firm in Paris, "nearly every man
saves something. 1t doesn't matter
how small his income may be, he
manages to put by portion of his
earnings. In this respect the thrift OF
the people stands out in marked con-
trast to the prodigal ways Of the citi-
zens Of the United States. Here it
seems essential to spend a big sum Of
money to get much pleasure; in fact,
the amount of pleasure seems measur-
ed by the money expended. But /
think it undoubtedly true that the
French people get more enjoyment out
Of life than the American.
'I see much to admire in this nation
its wonderful progress, its inventive
genius, its unrivaled resources. There
is nothing in Europe like your luxur-
ious railways or your fine hotels. But
with all that / had rather live in
France. Our nation has a bad name,
l find, in this country, but the reputa-
ton isn't deserved. There is as much
real religion and pure home life as ex-
lists in any land. We go to church
early Sunday morning and in the aft
ernoon to the picture galleries or for a
jaunt into the woods. / think you
would be better over here il you en-
joyed your Sundays after the more lib
eral fashion that prevails across the
ocean. ."-Washington Post.

Feeding Beef Cattle,

The New York Times thinks that the
feeding of beef cattle will soon become
as profitable an industry as ever it was
and greatly relieve the strain upon
other agricultural pursuits. The COM

is now falling off and not likely to again
assume its former magnitude, and this

Gold IL the money of monarchs

as to unsettle values and stir up the

ton, 1t becomes naughty and sensi.
tive and shrinks at the approach of
danger, and when it is most needed
1T always disappears at the slightest
alarm; it begins to look for refuse; il
flies through the nations at war to
the nations ut peace. War makes il
a fugitive. No people in a great
emergency ever found faithful ally
in gold. 1t is the most cowardly
and tfeacherous of all metals. Ii
makes no treaty that it does not
break. Ii has no friends whom il
does not sooner or later betray. Ar
mics and navies are not maintained
by gold. In time of panic and ca
lamity and shipwreck and disaster
it becomes the chief agent and minis
ter OF ruin. No nation ever fought
great war by the aid of gold. On
the contrary. in the crisis of great
peril it becomes an enemy more DO.
tent than the foe in the gold. But
when the battle is won and peace
has been secured gold reappears and
claims the fruits of victory."-J. j.
