PROSPERITY AND CURRENCY.

The promise has been that the tariff
being disposed of happily with a view to
"prosperity," then the currency shall
receive exalted attention; but that will
not be this session, although the presi.
dent may recommend commission. If
a commission, one may enquire as to the
sort OF men who will compose the same.
Will they be millionaire bankers? Or
will it be mixed, made up of millionairss
and their retained attorneys?
Secretary Sherman tells us nothing
can be done this session and says; 1.-THE
eastern states are pretty thoroughly in
favor of the gold standard" But the
south and west are in favor of the dou.
BILE standard and free coinage, and this
is also true of Republican members of
congress from these sections. These
men promised their constituents bimstal-
lism through the Republican party and
are opposed to further contraction of
the currency by retiring the greenbaeks
or treasury notes and giving more power
to the banks as to currency matters. Of
course all this would place the people
and all values more and more in the
power of the banks.
The administration seems to be wait
ing for a change of sentiment before
taking up the currency question. Hence
a commission to dawdle along, and by
their report help to prepare the public
or delude the people and justify Repub-
lcan party action. 1t was thought
Secretary Gage of the treasury, banker
as he is, would submit plan. But we
do not hear of that now. The scheme
now is to dodge behind another COM
mission. There is one already in Europe.
While Mr.. Sherman admits that con.
gress is not in favor Of the gold stand.
ard, Mr., Gage endorsed the financial
policy of the Cleveland administration
and is quoted as declaring "the gold re-
serve must be maintained under any and
all circumstances"
These commissions are mere make.
shifts, not a scintilla Of honest purpose
therein. The party in power has no
intention of any honest effort to get the
country away from the monopoly of
money and the speculative cliques that
operate through the banks and make
the monetary measure to suit their pur.
poses. 1t is said the president will ask
congress this week for authority to
appoint commission to investigate and
report on the currency, but it is said to
be doubtful whether congress will COM
ply with the request. Reputable mem.
bers seem to think all this is the work
entrusted by the constitution and the
people to congress and the president
and his cabinet. If they are incompe-
tent let them get out They surely have
no right to delegate their powers, 1t is
to be hoped congress will permit no
lodging. Let the powers that be face
the music.

AT the pace set for declining wages OF

At the pace set for declining wages of
labor, since the triumph of Mark Hanna
prosperity last November, how long will
it take for the wages of labor to get
down to the "pauper wage" standard of
com peting nations? The fact is, that
measured in the output of labor, the
wages of American labor are now lower
than in any of the great commercial
nations of Europe. An American laborer
now makes more pounds OF iron, more
yards Of cloth, or products of other
kind, for dollar than any laborer in
Europe, ,-Bellaire Tribune.
