and shoes, they will want to keep on
doing SO. Hence there will be, for a
time at least, the same demand for -four
and oil and boots that there was before
but machinery which now does the work
of great many men, having been dis
carded, the gap must be filled by men
themselves. Hence there will be an i'm
mense demand for labor, and this de-
mand will send up the price. Every
thing will boom. The farmer will get
rich right away. because the price of his
wheat will go up, the merchant will get
rich because he will be selling constantly
ON rising market; the workingman
will get rich too, because there will he
an enormous demand for his services,
and of course his wages must rise. The
key to prosperity is a riss in prices. the
key to rise in prices is the production
of scarcity, and the key to the produc-
ton of scarcity, is the destruction OF the
thing that produces abundance. that Ii
labor saving machinery.
Let som6 new Boy Orator of the
Platte, with glib tongue and plenty Of
assurance, become the apostle of this
method of raising prices, and he car
beat the present Boy Orator out of sight
as friend of the people. He can heal
him, too, on his own ground, for he car
show beyond all question that his meth
cd of raising prices-and the raising Of
prices is the keystone of Bryan g system
of philanthropy-is far more certain tt
succeed than the free coinage of silver
plan.

HOW TO RAISE PRICES.

If high prices are desirable, as the Bry-
to get them is to increase the labor cost
of articles which the people have to buy,
and the most effective way to do this is
to abandon the use of labor saving in
yentions. The employment of a
cheaper dollar will ct most
only give US fictitious rise
of prices, but the disuse of labor saving
Inventions by inducing scarcity will
cause an acutal rise in price, Flour, by
abolishing the reaping machine, can
no doubt be doubled in price. Hay can
doubtless be made a good deal higher by
driving cut the moving machine and re-
turning to the uss of the hand soythe.
Every Iaboring man can make it cost
him twice the sum it does now to light
his house by returning to the old method
of making kerosene oil. The price of
boots and shoes can be greatly enhanced
by throwing out the sewing machine,
aad the numerous other devices which are
used in the manufacture of the modern
shoe. And this method of increasing
price By producing scarcity has not only
the advantage over the free silver meth
cd ofsbeing more effective. but also of
opening up opportunities for labor
There wiz be just as many people in the
world after all labor saving machinery
is thrown out as before, and having be-
come accustomed to eating -four bread,
lighting their houses aud wearing boots

was the question asked of number OF
leading bankers the other day, In re.
Spouse to which some interesting infor.
nation was obtained. The allegations
made In recent sensational trial about
how the practice of obtaining money
without paying interest could be carried
to sort Of scientific perfection made
the subject appear one OF considerable
Importance, az indeed those of the bank
ers who would talk about 1t admit that
it is. Bank cashiers and directors are, OF
necessity. the most discreet.people In the
world, and consequently those who
would consent to give any information
on the subject stipulated that their
names should not be used.
1t would appear, however, from the
facts obtained that there is nothing to
prevent business man or firm with
good credit from always having an
amount outstanding in checks much
greater than their bank account, il they
are sufficiently skillful and unscrupu-
lous. Honest men will not draw against
nothing. 1t ia generally maintained,
though there are said to be frequently
cases where the bankers send for their
customers and reprimand them for some
irregularity or request them to move
their account to some other bank. The
greatest care Ia necessaryto protect banks

matter, said:
Exiting Is drawing checks on banks
where you have no money and then
sending the bank drawn on, check on

use of money for months in this manner.
and though Ii 10 not often resorted to nv
any but the dishonest, there are cases
where big firms have foated large snms
a long while, and eventually took ali
their paper without having been suspect-
ed.
1.-THE simplest form of kiting is where
a man gives check on a bank where
goes to the bank the next day and de-
posits the amount In the ordinary
course of business the check will not
reach the bank for twenty five hours.
and If the cash Is there to cover ID when
1t arrives it is to be presumed his inten-
tons were honest, SO that the transac-
tion is not properly to be called kiting at
all. II. however, by some mischance, he
is unable to make the deposit he is liable
to prosecution for false pretense, even if
he had supposed that he would make the
deposit, the thing which a man doex
