"Capital is timid," says the
quack economists of the
Flower stripe. That's a fact;
but why? Because experience,
with a voice of thunder. de-
clares that the man who in
vests on a contracting volume
of money is an easier mark
than Uncle Josh from the
country with the billy goat
beard who braces the three-card
monte trick or the gold brick
swindle. At such times men
invest to certain loss. What
man would put his money into
wheat when he knows that it
is doomed to sure and perma-
.nent decline? And with gold
approaching in value, as it is,
all property, real and personal,
is destined to decline. until
we'll, until we bust the comb
nation?

Our republican friends have
made much of the increase in
the production of gold in this
country, leaving us to infer
that the scarcity of money will
eventually be overcome
thereby. Director of the Mint
Preston's figures have just
been made public. The total
production for 1896 was $685.
100000, which, after allowing
for what is used in the arts,
will not replace what is lost
and worn out; to say nothing
of what leaves the country in
the natural order of business
never to return. And the in
crease for 1896 over 1895 is
$6,52O,000, or the magnificent
amount of 10 cents per capita.
Considering the increase of
population, how long, at this
rate, will it take the present
supply of gold to add 81 per
capita to our monetary circula-
ton?

The latest charge against the
jury system is, that 'juries are
honeycombed with socialism. :"
It would be interesting to a So
cialist to learn how the fellow
who prefers that charge defines
"socialism." Ifjuries are honey
combed with this economic phi
losophy, to most thinking men
it is an evidence that the masses
of the people are likewise indoc-
trinated Herewith. And as
about all of the institutions
of the American republic that
are really commendab1e are So
cialistic in their nature, it would
be Interesting to know what the
political ideals of those who de-
plore the socialism of juries,
really are like. The postal sys-
tenn and the public school sys-
tenn are the pride of American
citizenship. Would it be posi-
bic to describe anything more
thoroughly socialistic?

There are many trades in this

unemployed, and in some the
percentage is said to run as
high as 80 and 80; but we have
nothing to equal the horrible
condition of affairs revealed by
an editorial in the morning
paper, existent in a certain very
important American industry.
There are sixty-five members

tific Murder by Wholesale at
West Point, and although these
young men have been educated
with great technical care, amid

entitled to easy jobs at fat sal

Duluth typographical union
has adopted the percentage
system of collecting dues. By
this method the burden of sus-
tanning the unions finances is
largely shifted from the
shoulders of those who are out
of employment to those who
are reaping the benefits result
ing from organization. When
hard times come and situations
decrease in number, some men
must be sacrificed to maintain
fair conditions of employment
and wage scales; or, in the
scramble for the chances to
work, the benefits of past or
garization will come to
naught. It is but simple JUS
tice, then, that those who are
deprived of employment should
be relieved as much as posi-
4 lie of the burden of maintain
ing the organization. Such
considerations of mutual inter-
est, while of frequent occur

The plute press is again adj
vocating an increase in the
standing army. A proposition
to furnish $4,000 situations
where men will be supported
in easy circumstances at public
expense, while it may not ex-
actly suit the fellows that in
the end have to pay the bill, is
certainly, as far as it goes, an
easy way of fulfilling campaign
pledges to restore prosperity,
But as every other promise OF
this nature has been violated,
and the waiting unemployed
are several hundred times 25,.
600, even from their own point
of view their remedy is ridicu-
lousy inadequate. The morn
ing paper, though, doesn't ex.
plot the real reason for this
proposition. The robber plutes
fear retribution. Their agents
would have the enlistment OF
the new recruits, and an in.
creased standing army is anxi-
ously desired as the best
method of prolonging their
vampire-like grip upon all pro.

The Brutal Truth.

Wages must go down. says
Senator Elkins in a recent inter
view published in the Cincinn-
att Enquirer. Wage earners do
not wish to see it or believe it,
but it is So" And again he
said, wages in America stand
against any revival of business. .
He was discussing the coal
trade. He said, eve do not ex-
port coal to Europe because we
have wages against us, and
that is the whole kernel of the
the coal trade" {
Being asked whether black la
Dor was settled in the mines of
Virginia, ne said:
:.Firmly. 1t is as effective as
white labor and does not CON-
bine and conspire, and the negro
spends all he makes, while the
Italians and Poles send every
cent out of the country '..-..>
The senator has just as de-
cided ideas on the tariff question.
He is convinced that protective
duties, especially on coal, should
20 up. Tariff up, wages down.
That is what happened under
the Mckinley bill and is what
will happen and in fact is hap
pening under the Dingley bill.
It is all done in the interest of
labor.-Ex.
There you have the whole
philosophy of the Republican
party in two stickfuls. The
gold standard has reduced
wages in Europe, Asia, Africa
and Australia. They must be
reduced in America or we can
not do business. White men
won't submit patiently to thu
lowering of their standard OF
living; all right, call out the
Pinkertons and put the ne
groes, the Cinnamon and the
industrial serfs of undevelope<
Europe to work in their places
