Falling prices are an Industrial eco

most unparalleled proportions. They
discourage industries, drive money
from activity into idleness, from the
channels of trade into the bank vaults.
reduce wages and throw laborers out of
employment, make property unproduc-

equities, increase the burden of taxes
ana all fixed charges, ruin debtors,
pie UP wealth in the hands of the few,
encourage the formation of trusts,
monopol1es and combines, make pro-
uucers the prey of middlemen,
strengthen the hold of the merely rich
upon the political machinery of the

the masses, increase immortality, and,

That has nearly doubled in twenty-five

protracted fall of general prices. The

be restored in only one of two ways
either by the universal adoption of the
gold standard, so that all nations shall
use a common measure of one metal,
or by the restoration of genuine BIZ
metallism, SO that all nations may pos
sess a common measure, composed OF
the joint volume of both gold and Sill
yer. But the universal adoption OF the
gold standard is impossible. 10 say
nothing of the folly of attempting its
extension to India, it's establishment in
all it's rigor, even in Europe, would pro-
duce a cataclysm of disaster and mis-
ery due to the enforced humiliation OF
hundreds of millions of dollars OF sill
yer and silver-supported paper, with
their superimposed credit, that social
chaos would supervene, compared to
which the dark ages would seem like
an Arcadian era. Our country's power
is rising. The next great conquest OF
commerce is in the Orient. The ex-
ploitation of China is an impossibil1ty
without the establishment of stable
par of exchange between ourselves and
that country, nor can we make it prof
table if her developing forces are to
continue to receive the progressive
stimulus afforded by failing ex-
change. CHARLES A. TOWNE.

adopted this anti-expansion resolution:
Whereas as a result of the recent war with
Spain nc1y fsr-reachng, and dangerous policy,
known imperialism, or expansion, is about to
be thrust upon Us, together with the inevitable
ard necessary accompaniment of large stand
ing army and an alEocrGtic navy:
Resolved, That. this convention offers its most
emphatic protest against such policy. and in-
stnHt5 its executive officers TO use all honora-
bic means 10 secure the defeat of legislation
tending toward annexation and imperialism.
Samuel b. Donneily. president of the In
ternatiOnal Typographical Union. was the
only delegate who defended expansion,
although one or two others spoke against
the resolution.

They say these people are liable to come

the teeming millions of India have never

unfurls in the new century to the people
of our hemisphere the HOerty of this

question of our own far greater than that
which is asitating the Government now.
1t is the expansion of organized labor.
There are territories here in our own
country where labor unions are almost
unknown. 1 don't believe that the sixty
five millions of people in this country are
going to bow down TO a system OF i'm
periaiism or pay homage to crown But
If we adopt the policy against expansion,
| want to go further and declare against
this peace alliance with Great Britain.
Several anti-expansion speeches were
made. and then President Gompers closed
the discussion by reiterating the views
exnressed in his annual report The vote
was then taken on the resolution. which
was adopted with practical unanimity.
