THE COAL MINERS.
Men OF the Pick in Illinois Now Know
What the Gold Standard
Means.

During a period covered by the last
10 years, in the state OF Illinois, the
average value of lump coal at the mine
has decreased from SI.51 a ton to IS
cents, a sl1rinkage Of nearly One-half.
The effect upon the miner is seen in the
fact that the average price paid in the
state for mining coal has declined from
so cents a ton TO a little over so cents.
Taking the record for 10 years, it is
seen that the decline in the value is q
per cent, and in wages 81 per cent. Ow-
ing TO fluctuations, the decline for the
last ten years is, for value, p per cent,
and for wages 30 per cent. For the
last four years the decline has been,
for value, 1857 per cent, and for wages,
1927 per cent, from which il appears
that the reduction in recent years has
been in greater ratio for wages than
for value
No writer on political economy ever
described the inevitable result Of a sin
gle and constantly apPreciating fnan-
cial standard more fOrcibly than it is
expressed IN the above As the stand
ard goes up, prices 90 down, and event
uaIly the helpless labOrer must bear

flied by such a condition except the
stock gambler, the money lender, and

whatever they want. Il is an outlaw
