iserYatism, have always insisted that a
thoroughly good bicycle was worth the
800 price and have rigidly maintained
that figure regardless Of the price cut
ting that has been INDUCED in by other
makers. The announcement was a Dig
surprise to the trade, for, although
many manufacturers and dealers
Thought this concern would lower its
prices at the beginning OF the present
iseason, it was generally supposed that
after the prices had been upheld for
more than half the season no cut would
be made until next year. The move,
therefore, which is a very radical one
for this company, which has for many
years held the reputation OF being the
dictator in the bicycle business, has
set all the other makers to guessing
and wondering what may be the cause
of the reduction. Some assert that the
lnedium-grade bicycles at popular
prices have made great inFoads in this
concerns business and that with a
large stock of unstable high-grade
maehincs on hand this late in the sea-
son the management had become
alarmed and decided to lower the price
as a last resort. Others prophesy that
the concern has perfected a chainless
bicycle model which will be manufac-
tured in large numbers and pushed
next season as a leader at 500.
Whatever the cause Of the reduction
may be, it will probably have a some
what demoralizing effect on the trade
this summer, although most of the
large makers assert positively that
they will make no attempt 10 meet the
cut this year 1t will have the effect,
however, of driving q number of the
small and weaker concerns out of the
business and thus leave il on a firmer
basis, and will also end the inflated
price evil. for with the very best makes
selling at SIS there will be no excuse
for building bicycles to list at 500 and
sell for what can be got for them. The
purchaser has long been aware of the
fact that the average bicycle listed at
500 could be bought for almost any
price above so per cent. of its list price.
Nevertheless. he will welcome the time
when all bicycles sell for Just what they
are worth and retail at one price to all.

BRYAN ON "HoNEsr MONEY"
Says the Instability OF the Gold Stand
ard Has Been Proved.

Says the instability OF the Gold Stands
ard Has Been Proved.
That is a broadside delivered by the
Arenas symposium on the money ques-
ton, contributed by Mr.. Bryan, Mr..
Howard Mr., Barker, Mr.. Fonda and
Gen. Warner, in the July number.
Mr.. Bryan, especially, has fred ter
Eibie columbiad against the widespread
and utterly erroneous idea that a gold
standard is not only an honest but a
stable standard. Mr.. Bryan denounces
this "ehild of ignorance" declaring
that "the gold dollar, under a universal
gold standard" is the most dishonest
dollar which we could employ.
He quotes gold standard Prof. Laugh
lin himself, wherein he declares that
there is no such thing as a standard Of
value for the reason that there is no
standard which remains absolutely
stable; hence, and it was the proposal
OF Prof. Laughlin for a multiple stand
ard for longtime contracts. Also the
eminent Jevons and Chevalier are
shown to have respectively admitted
the instability Of single standard, and
noted the injustice of providing for the
payment of debts in a standard other
than that in which the debt was CON
tTacted. Then Mr.. Bryan says:
81 am on sound and scientific ground.
therefore, when I say that dollar ap.
proaches honesty as its purchasing
power approaches stability. If Dor
row a thousand dollars to-llay and next
year pay the debt with a thousand dol
lars which will secure exactly as much
of all things desirable as the one thou
sand which 1 borrowed, I have paid in
honest dollars. If the money has in
creased OF decreased in purchasing
power, I have satisfied my debt with
honest dollars. While the government
can say that a given weight Of gold OF
silver shall constitute a dollar, ind in.
vest that dollar with legal-tendel' quail
tiles, it cannot fix the purchasing pow
er of the dollar. That must depend
upon the law Of supply and demand.
and it may be well to suggest that this
government never tried to fix the ex-
changeable value Of q dollar until it
began TO limit the number Of dollars
coined.
Let the gold standard honest money"
shOVters, put this in their pipes and
smoke it.

PHGNN, AEiz., Aug. 2.-Garrett E.
Anderson, a Wall street broker, start
ed yesterday with his wife to drive
where their son was camping at Cave
creek, on Salt river desert, 20 miles

of their destination, they feared they
had lost their way, and giving their
horses their last drop of water,
they started to retrace their way
to the Arizona canal. In the
afternoon a freighter named Moore
saw the carriage tracks cross
ing and reerossing the road and
followed them until he reached the
now delirious couple, He gave Mrs.
Anderson water, but Anderson was
too far gone even to drink. Mrs.
Anderson is now in Ph@Eix, where

COMPREHENSIVE system.

HoT Great Erifafn'z Railway Arc
Ala Effectively Hanased.
Great Britain's 1900 miles Of Isil-
Wsy are organized practically into enc
great system.
This is effected through the railway
clearing house. which adjusts the ac-
counts Of the 100000 railway stations in
the kingdom. This institution was es-
tablished s. years ago. Robert Stephen
son himself, a few years after he built
the first successful steam locomotive,
vas the chief mover in the inauguTa-
ton Of the railway clearing house.
Up to the time CT It's establishment
the several companies had conducted
their business independently. They
had found it necessary to make certain
agreements for rebates in use Of roll
ing stock when goods were transferred
from one road to anotheri but settle
ments were difficult 10 adjust, and de-
lays many and Yexatious.
So intoierable did the resulting dis
putes become that the leading COM
panies were at length induced to estab-
fish a central Office for their ADJUST
ment. The first railroad clearing house
was opened January 2, 1917, at G small
house on Drummond street, London.
The system extended from London only
to Darlington in one direction and to
Manchester and Hull in another. The
business required a staff Of only four
clerks.
In brief, the system is simply 4 BUSH
nesslike way of ascertaining the
amount of stock that has run upon the
different lines and Of balancing the ae-
counts among the roads. It performs
the same function for the railroads that
a similar institution does for the banks.
the fundamental principles are that
passengers and freight shall be booked
through to their destination without
change Of carriage from all principal
stations; that the companies shall pay
a fixed sum for the use Of rolling stock
not their own, and that settlement shall
be made between the companies only
through the clearing house,
The advantages Of the system became
apparent at once. Company after COM
pany has been drawn in, until now
practically all the roads of the United
Kingdom are included. The business is
done in q great building in Seymour
street, and requires a force of 1850
clerks, besides 500 employees Who are
scattered throughout the country.
The governing board is a clearing
house committee made up Of repre-
sentatiyes from each of the roads. The
representative is either the president
or a director of his line, whose interest
he watches with extreme vigilance.
From the decisions Of this body there is
no appeal. There are subcommittee
also, whose work is the supervision Of
the different activities Of the clearing
house. The expense of maintaining the
establishment is divided among the
companies in the ratio Of the business
transacted for them.-GeoTge B. Wall
dron, in Illustrated American.

The maker win be glad to see that time
also, since one Of the peculiar phases
OF the cycle trade has been that all club
members, racing men. and q long list
q people with pulls have systemat-
icaily worked" the makers for bicycles
for nothing or at cost price.
It is generally conceded among the
trade that the price Of high-grade
chain bicycles will be only SIS next
year. and that q number Of chainless
wheels will be put on the market at
500. A chaiHIess machine is a deli.
cate and rather Impractical piece Of

be seen whether or not It win retain
