What Makes Wages 60 Up or Down

What Makes Wages Go Up or Down.
Gen. A. j. Warner recently made a
silver speech out in Ohio, in which he
made some bulls-eye shots. Among
other things he said: The problem be-
fore us is how to recover Ourselves
from these changed conditions. The
difficulties which must be overcome are
increasing. The gold standard has
been established In Russia and Japan.
You may look any day for another
step in India Gold will continue to
rise, and prices will fall. Our task is
becoming harder. 70 restore pros
perity in this country you must get
down nearer the soil. If the prices of
products continue to fall and money to
rise, think what will soon be the result.
BY the time we have population of
one hundred millions, less than five
per cent will have all the wealth. You
cannot have high order of civiliza-
ton when wealth is concentrated into
a few hands. What we want is not
so much to start the mills, as to start
the markets. When everybody is EN-
ployed, you can't keep wages down;
when only half are employed, you
can't keep wages up. In the last year,
we exported S32O,OOOOOO more than we
imported, of goods and manufactures.
That did not balance our account. We
are now exporting gold to balance up.
Our policy for years has been to in
crease the value Of that which we
agree to pay, and lower the value Of
that we have to pay with.

Poverty and Abundance.

In the states in the west farmers
burn corn because there is too much
coal. Miners 60 hungry in Pennsyl-
vania because there is an over-supply
of pork and beans. Men, women and
children are clothed in rags because
too many clothes are made. Children
go barefooted because Of an over-pro-
duction of hides. There is no lard in
the workman's hovel because of an
over-production of hogs. Too many
streets are unpaved because of an over
supply of brick.
Funny, isn't It?
Millions 60 hungry every day be-
cause there is too much bread.-War.

NATCHITOCI1ES La, SEPTEMBER 3 1897.

yer and the silver dollar was made q
debt. The effect has been to make gold
a rising dollar and keep prices on the
fall.
The free coinage of silver would
raise prices. If free coinage should
squeeze the gold dollar enough to bring
prices up to the gold level of 1880
would any injustice be done? The bed
rock upon which is based the opposi-
tion to the free coinage of silver is the
fear that free coinage would raise
prices and diminish the purchasing
powe. of gold.
The gulf between the men who are
getting richer by the rise of money and
the men who are getting poorer by the
shrinkage of productive property, is
widening from year to year. These
conditions have built in this country
a moneyed aristocracy. Many of these
gentry in New England are men of
not very large means. When prices
were high they turned their property
into money, and are now living an idle
life on the rise of money. They seem
to think that the lack of foresight and
the want Of business ability is the rea-
son why business men and producers
90 not make money. They loaf around
where workingmen are trying to earn
the honest dollar" hunting for a
chance to buy cheap. When one of
em goes to the grocer to buy meat
Tor his dinner he must have the best
cut there is In the "critter" at the low.
est price, because he is financier and
pays cash down. The workingman
who Is working for the best money
In the world" and has to wait for his
wages, pays more for his meat and gets
cheaper cut. After 16 to l these
moneyed aristocrats will put their
money into business and find profit
able employment in taking care of it.
After fifteen years of falling prices
the people find no profitable employ
ment at their homes and most all of
them are office-seekers If they belong
to the party In power. All the small
postoftices are eagerly sought after. II
the salary is small everybody under
stands that salaries have doubled in
value by the rise in money and still
rising. Falling prices has driven
thousands of merchants out of busi-
ness through bankruptcy. There are
many thousands of other merchants
who have large stocks of goods on
hand bought at very low prices. which
they are now selling at retail at 80
per cent Of cost in order to get out Of
a losing business and nobody is taking
their places.
Nothing makes a man so homesick
in his own home as to see everything
he possesses shrinking from year to
year except his debts and taxes.
Afr 16 to l the sunshine of rising
prices will bring hope and joy into
many lowly homes where there is now
sadness and sorrow. The rise of prices
would be gradual and on the higher
plane all interests would adjust them
selves without doing injustice to any,
body.

The Angel of Discomfort.


When the world was formed and the
morning stars
Upon their paths were sent.
The loftlest-browed of the angels was
named
The angel of Discomfort.
And he dwelt with man in the caves
of the hill,
Where the crested serpent stings
And the tiger tears and the she-wolf
howls,
And he told Of better things.
And he led man forth to the town,
And forth to the fields Of corn:
And he told Of the ample work ahead
For which his race was born.
And he whispers to men of those hills
he sees
In the blush Of the misty west;
And they look to the heights of his
lifted eye
And they hate the name of rest.
In the light of that eye doth the slave
:. behold
A hope that Is high and brave:
And the madness of war comes into his
blood
For he knows himself a slave.
The serfs Of wrong by the light Of that
eye
March with victorious songs:
For strength of right comes into their
hearts
When they behold their wrongs,
!Tis by the light of that lifted eye
/ That Errors mists are rent,
"a guide to the table-lands of Truth
/ Is the Angel of Discomfort.
sfnd still he looks with his lifted eye,
land his glance is far away
IN a light that shines on the glimmer-
Fl ing hills
pf diyiner day.

(By General Remarker.)
The desire to abolish the Fourth Of
July because 1t is sometimes desecrated
by orators like David B. Hill is carry
ing reform too far.
There can be no doubt that John
Russell Young will make a good H.
brarian Of congress, for the New York
Evening Post is against him.
New York excels in everything.
That city will soon have the biggest
bridge in the world, as she now has
the biggest and craziest goldbugs.
A South Carolina man who year
or two ago named his baby "Grover
Bisselr' has. committed suicide at the
thought of it. The punishment fits the
crime.
After August Belmont, of the Roths-
child family, has erected the statue to
his favorite horse, the Reform club
should borrow the model, lengthen it's
ears, and set up statue to Bynum.
When Mr.. Stealey undertakes the

the person OF Mr.. Wilbur F. Wakeman.
Civil service was no trouble in his

At first flush, it looks little unrea-

Col. Kerens has had himself inter-
viewed by the New York Mail and Ex-
press and he gives it as his opinion
that the party of gold is soon to win
a grand victory in Missouri. Well, the
colonel may be right, but the election
in the first district a few days since
is no indication in that direction. The
returns do not 60 to prove that the
drift OF public sentiment is that way.
If the colonel would put his pass in
his grip and walk over into southwest
Missouri and interview the farmer, he
might go back thinking that the far
mer was fool, but he would have no
reason to believe that there was going
to be any alarming exodus of the men
who till the soil in the direction Of
the goldbug camp.-Carthage (Mo.)
