WHY PRICES ARE GOING UP.

We may be quite sure that there
 will Lo a lot of political bunccmbe born
 of the present and prospective rise 1T
 the prices of nearly all the, staples
 which people consume from day to day Democratic hopes are built on disccn- tent and the only discontent
 possible of extraction from the
 prevailing good times will be that which may be aroused over the higher
 prices. It will make no difference to
 the democratic stumper that four
 years ago he was mourning the fact
 that prices had fallen, and that he
 was then bewailing the sufferings ci
 the producer because the latter could
 not get living figures for his goods.
 This time he will weep for the con-
 sumer. He will tell the con
 sumer that the trusts and other mo-
 nopolists have been protected by the republican party and enabled to ad-
 vance prices, and this sort of argu- ment will catch many who lent a ready ear to the silver logic of the last campaign. But the thinking voter will not be so easily deceived. The rise in prices is due to the most apparent natural causes. The fact is, the country has become so prosperous that it's producers cannot supply tho demand, and the inevitable result is a sharp bidding for commodities which enhances their value. Every day mer- chants are clamoring fer imme ediate tile goods, and especially of iron products, because their customers can not be longer delayed without loss. and very large sums have been paid by way of bonus to come out of ex- pected profits in order to get goods ordered, but not yet delivered. PIuc- ticalIy all industries are some months behind the requirements for actual use, and in many much of the output next year is already sold. The enor nous demand fer more railroads, and rails and cars, more vessels, ware houses and buildings, to handle the extraordinary business in progress, cannot be met as quickly as men would like, and work Of all sorts is delayed, from the biggest war vessel to the smallest factory. The boot and shoe business is likewise crowded, not so far ahead of production, but farther than many producers like, by the clamorous demand of jobbers who cannot keep up with retail distribu- ton. It is one of the simplest iaws of economics that where there is a stiff demand for goods they will command stiffer prices. This is the reason for the higher figures now demanded for staples. There is nothing political about it. Tendency to high prices al ways accompanies prosperity. If voters permit themselves to be deduded into voting for cheap prices they will cast their ballot for the attendant dull times, whether they do it wilfully or not.

time since the question of free silver
came before the people. The opportu-
nifty to write the gold standard in the
law and thus end discussion of the sub
ject, should not be lost sight of.
1t is 10 be hoped that the country will
not be treated to another long wrangle
in the House banking and currency
committee this winter. 1t might not
be bad idea to pass the currency bill
declaring the gold standard the legal
standard first and appoint the bank
ing and currency committee af-
terward. The great trouble last year
was that nearly every member of the
committee had a pet bill of his own
and all designed to reach the same end
by different methods.
The gold standard has proven a pref
ty comfortable thing for the west. Ger
tainly for the first time in it's history
it was this year independent of the
east, when it came to advancing money
for the movement of the wheat crop.
On the very day that a temporary
squeeze in the market called loans up
to 10 per cent, grain shippers in all
the larger western cities were obtain
ing all the money they could use from
local banks at 4 1-2 and 5 per cent.

AMERICAN COLLEGES.

The returns of students who are
pursuing an extended course of study
in foreign colleges and universities are
most gratifying to those who have the
interests of our own universities at
heart OF the 937 women students in
the six universities of Switzerland.
only seven come from the United
States. The greater number of the
students in these universities come
from Russia. Within recent years.
since the bar has been lifted and wom-
en- admitted upon an equal footing
with men in our colleges and univer-
stiles, many who would have otherwise
gone to foreign institutions of learning
are remaining at home, for the reason
that as good. if not a superior educa-
ton, can be acquired here. While it
may remain true that some of the old
er universities of Germany have at
their command special libraries and
it is equally true that in the
more modern branches of learning this
country stands today unrivaled from
an educational standpoint Nowhere
in the world are there to be found an
equal number of educational institu-
lions occupying the high plane that
Clark university, the University of
Chicago, Johns Hopkins and Harvard
occupy today.

THE ROBERTS CASE

From an ecclesiastical standpoint,
the coming session of. congress will be
one of the most important. Action
relative to the unseating of Congress-
man Roberts will undoubtedly receive
frst attention and the result is being
av aited with the most intense inter
est by all classes of people throughout
the country. More recently however,
the bitter opposition which was openly
expressed relative to allowing Con-
in congress has been tempered to some
extent as a result, no doubt, of a more
calm investigation of the facts relat-
ing to his election.
There seems to be a tendency to a
more temperate discussion of the sub
ject and a greater willingness than has
heretofore been manifest to look at the
subject from both sides. 1t really he
gins to look as if Roberts election was
not entirely due to Mormon influence,
but rather was the indirect result of
democratic influence. 1t appears that
he was nominated by the democratic
party in the state convention of dele
gates from every county and was
chosen on the first ballot. At the cleo
ton many thousands of Mormons voted
against him by supporting the republi-
can party, among whom it is said were
many very prominent church leaders.
More recently Susan B. Anthony, who
has been prominent in religious work
in this country for many years, is
quoted as having said at a convention
in New York state that she hoped moth
ing would be attempted at the coming
session which would be unconstitu-
tional
1t is rathera question of morals than Of
politics with which congress will have
to deal. Was Roberst practicing pro-
hibited Mormon doctrines at the time
of his election, is the question for con
gress to decide. No question of his fit
ness for the place has been heard or
any hand, but bitter prejudice against
his marital relations has aroused q
nation. The result of the investigation
in congress will no doubt decide the
future of Utah to large extent. II
that state is to become power in the
sisterhood of states, all polygamous
practices must be abandoned once and
for all time.

CHURCH WORK.

Periodically the claim is made by
some disheartened minister of the Cos
pei that the work Of the church is retro
grading, and that as a consequence the
country is getting worse. These shep-
herds Of our Christian people come to
standstili in their labors, and broadly
proclaim that the Aork in which they
themselves are engaged is a failure.
They do not stop to consider that by
the very act of stopping in their labors
they lend credence to the report which
they proclaim, that the church, as such,
is not fulfilling its mission A few days
ago, before a meeting of Presbyterian
Sabbath school superintendent, in
Philadelphia, Rev. DR.. James A. Davies,
in the course of his remarks on RE
vival in the Sabbath school," said that
the church of Christ is now in a serious
condition, worse than it has been for
more than three centuries. He spoke
Of the Mormons, and said they were
rapidly making converts to their faith
Then he turned his attention to the
south, and discoursed on the increase of
lynching. He wound UP by calling at
tention TO the fact that immigration
is steadily on the increase, and said
that those that come to our shores new
er step inside of church
Wsile it may be true that a certain
small class of those who emigrate to
this country are an undesirable class,
by far the larger per cent of all who
come here are a peace-abiding people,
who are God-fearing, and are connected
with one denomination or another from
the time that they become citizens. 1t
is decidedly unfair to proclaim that
they do not as whole attend any
church. They do not probably attend
the Rev Davies church. and 1t is not
to be wondered at. Sensational preach
ers Of this type are dangerous to COM

PROF. MARSH'S WILL.

The suit that has been brought by
the nephew of Prof Marsh against Yale
College to prevent it's receiving the
legacy and charging it with having hyp-
Noticed the legator. by teaching him
atheism or agnosticism. is rather anus
ing One of the most remarkable allie
cations the nephew makes is that by
Yale's teachings his uncle had come to
believe that there was no future life, or
Immortality for any human being, and
that the only way, therefore, for mortal
to put on mortality, was through other
mortals.
Those who knew Prof Marsh best
say that he was far from such hallucir-
atoms, and pronounce the allegations
absurd and preposterous. 1t may be said
in passing that Prof. Marsh is not the
first man to provide for keeping his
memory green by doing something for a
college, and he showed very good sense
by leaving them ready cash, that which
an educational institution like Yale
most needs.

THE SPY ITSELF.

No reader of The Spy in the past six
weeks can have failed to notice the
changes. The ambition of the editor
and his staff is to make The Spy the
best newspaper in Massachusetts. The
changes in The Spy have been made
to improve it as a newspaper. We want
to make every line in the paper tell
Every item of news in the city of Wor-
cester, fit to print, viii be found in The
Spy. The Spy is the only morning pa
per in central Massachusetts having
the Associated Press news reports Our
telegraphic news cannot be excelled in
New England. For financial news,
sporting news, literary news and
bright, entertaining departments such
as Out and About and Town Tales, The
Spy is unrivalled
May we take this opportunity to
thank our readers for hundreds of ex-
pressions of approval. The lawyers
are pleased with the systematic and
absolutely accurate court news, always
to be found on the same page. Our
thoughtful readers have most kindly
commended the vigorous editorial page.
The wonderful response made to The
Spy as a clean but thoroughly up-to-
date newspaper has been very crafty
ing. The men who have quietly inter
viewed the residents of the city in their
homes have in this city added nearly
a thousand new subscribers. Every
&c fa1l Of CIV
in Worcester who is alive to the outside
world, knows that The Spy is the best
paper he can buy. If he fails to buy
it, he must, however, be aware Of the
fact that more of his neighbors are
taking The Spy than ever before The
increase of circulation has been noticed
by every advertiser in the city They
are keen, bright men. They know The
Spy is the coming paper The Spy has
never lacked friends. The Daily Spy
has always numbered among its read
ers five or six thousand best families
in Worcester. Today it is catering to
no one class. 1t is a newspaper for
all the people of Worcester. For that
reason, perhaps, it is less exclusive than
a decade ago. The new Spy has a
larger field, its circulation is growing
and as natural sequence and in the
same proportion, the advertising is in
creasing. In November this year The
Spy is printing day by day an average
of fifty per cent more advertising than
one year ago. Can any business in the
city make a finer showing? No other
newspaper can.
The gains in the past three months
have been accelerating. The Spy adj
vertising men, as well as the circuIa-
tion men and the editorial staff deserve
word of praise for their good work.
In three months this change will be all
the more marked. The seeds sowed
now will bear fruit them in circulation
and advertising.
Watch The Spy!

munity. This preacher seems to think
that the churches are making practi-
cally no Roadway and that the people
are growing more and more wicked. His
claim is that there are not half as many
good earnest Sunday school workers as
there We're years ago.
With two or three exceptions, Wor-
cester has escaped the iniquity of such
sensational preaching as this. The
church as such has a mission to per-
form and if it will but conduct itself
along the lines laid down by the master
while on earth, there will be no occasion
for any minister Of the gospel to decry
the success of its workers. Thousands
of young men and young women are
each year giving themselves and all
their energies to the work, as is wit
messed by the steady growth of Chris
tianity in foreign countries, under the
guidance of Christian missionaries.

HARVEST cANTATA.
A Large Congregation at Old South
Enjoys Glorious Service.

The harvest concert and cantata at
Old South church last evening attract
ed an audience that filled the auditori-
UNI to overlooking, many standing dur
ing the entire services. The pulpit and
choir loft were lavishly decorated with
flowers, and the front of the auditorium
was beautifed by potted palms and cut
flowers.
The choir rendered the Harvest can
tata during the evening, and special
exercises were given by members of the
Sunday school.
After the organ prelude, the recita-
tive ana chorus, Come and Let Us
Keep Our Harvest Feast" was given
by the choir. The other chorus songs
were: No Sacrifice of Blood We Offer
Thee with Faith, o Lord, in Thee"
THE Flowers. That Are the Fairest,"
while the Earth Remaineth.
There were exercises by the primary
and intermediate departments of the
Sunday school. The offering of the eve
ming was for the purpose of establish
ing Sunday schools in the west.

INDUSTRY AND IDLENEss.
Happiness in Life and in Christ Comes
in Hard Work.

Yesterday at the Bethel A. NJ. e.
church there was an address in the
morning by George w. Roberts, an ex-
saloon keeper, who has been heard sew
eral times in Worcester. He spoke of
his former life and related his expert
encesduring the civil war, and told of
mis- life in the west, before he became
converted and went into evangelistie
work. In the evening, the pastor, Rev.
]. II. Taylor, spoke on Industry and
Idleness."
He outlined the results of hard work
IN every day life, and carried the
thought into Christian service. Idle
ness brought no real pleasure, he said,
and many who worked the hardest were
the happiest. 1t was the same in the
work of the church. There was no
place fer the sluggard, but the toiler
was always welcome, and he was able
by his work to do something for the
kingdom Of Christ.
