With good money and mutual trust a

CLINCHING A FACT

that the things which ought To have been
reduced in price since 1879 have been re-
duced. while the things that ought to
have increased in price have Increased
McCleary of Minnesota Ny friend from
Illinois has. with his usual c,earness
stated the case tersely and well.
The lower prices result from the re-
the slightest evidence hat the so-called
"demonetization" of silver had ANYTHING
to do with it, And the sure proof is that
the reduction of cost of production has
been accompanied by an increase in the
wages of the producer.
THE CAUSE AND RESULT OF LOW
Err PRICES.
The great staples Of the world arc
cheaper because it takes less human la
Dor to produce them. Every new rail
road and steamboat, every labor saving
machine and improved process of manu-
facture. increases the grasp which labor
holds on the desirable things of the
world.
And thus we see. Mr. Chairman. that
the great fan in prices of manufactured
articles during the last third of Il cen
Jury mas been IN the main perfectly legit
innate, and that it's ultimate result will
be most brnelicent. Taken in connection
with the rise in wages, it measures man s
