ought to be clearly distinguished, from
q national habit In the pronunciation
of given letter, or accentuation OF a

Instance, take the pronunciation Of the

ually says "a man" "a as In "game'O;
the Englishman, unless he wants to be
emphatic, says "a man." Neither is
right neither wrong--it Is purely q

Leads List OF Mammoth Productions
with TOO Speaking Parts.
The Passion Play" as performed
every tenth year since 1888 at oberam-
mergau, which Is intended to present
lifelike picture Of tho last days of
our Savior upon earth, heads the list
OF mammoth dramas In the number OF
speaking parts, Seven hundred actors
are required, ranging from the chief
actor, Joseph Mayer, who has on three
occasions played the part Of Christ,
to the little boys and girls who are
grouped in the Scriptural tableaux.
The play takes place In large OPEN
air theater capable of accommodating
5000 spectators, The villagers Of
0berammergau regard the Passion
Play" as solemn act Of religious
worship, and the performances are
characterized by the greatest rever-
ence. The proceeds are devoted to the
good of the community, after betrayal
of the cost OF producing the play, In
Guiding q moderate remuneration OF
the actors. The principal parts are
usually hereditary in certain families,
and are assigned with regard to moral
character as we'll as dramatic ability,
and the part Of Christ is looked upon
as one of the highest honors attaina-
BILE. The performance, which lasts
nine hours, Is attended by many thou
sands of European and American vis-
Iitors.

wages are insufficient to buy the full
products OF factories, the shops must
close down, causing another era Of
widespread distress, The revival of
business initiates land values until high
rent, in turn, chops off production Un-
derneath all, as an inevitable cause OF
future panic, Is the fall of prices due
to the relative decrease in the volume
OF money, which will surely squeeze the
prosperity out Of business conditions.
To get rid of panlcs, industrial de-
presslons and hard times, permanently,
we must do away with the whole Re-

omy and public policy. II we abolish
all monopoles and provide for cur

perlty will constantly Increase instead
of being subject to severe periodical

Hutchinson gazette., 1899-10-26

It Is a mockery to tell the people in
times like these that they. are pros
porous. With employment agencies
overrun with applicants vainly hunt
Ing for work; with an army Of able
bodied and intelligent men eager for
chance to labor hard for a weekly
plttance OF ten dollars; with skilled
mechanics glad Of opportunities to
earn only fifteen dollars week; with
school children grinding away their
young lives in stores and factories to
eke out the meager incomes of in
dustrious but impoverished parents;
with underpaid women dlsplacing men,
and men going into private kitchens
as household servants; with hosts of
small merchants passing out Of inde-
pendent business and into the over
crowded ranks Of hired clerks, and
travelling statesmen aghast at their mar
rowing opportunities; with freehold
farmers giving way to rapidly grow
Ing class of agricultural tenantry;
with vlce-breedlng slums in every city
and sturdy tramps upon every high
way; with thousand other manifesto
tlons Of social maladjustment and mis-.
cry, the whole eliminating in a uni-'
versal fear Of loss of employment or
business, paralyzing dread Of pow
erty--wlth such facts thrusting them
selves hourly upon public attention,
thoughtful men are in no mood to
listen patiently to silly jabber about
our wonderful prosperity"
That there is prosperity In spots no
one denies, says Louis r. Post, in the
Public. Monopolsts are prosperous,
and have been for two years. They
were never so prosperous in all the
previous history Of the country. But
their prosperity does not imply general
prosperity,
It Is likewise conceded that some
hired men are comparatively prosper
GUS. Their prosperity, that Of even
the luckiest of them, is not thrilling
enough to account for the ecstasies
into which 1t has thrown republican
organs, but It does exist. They are in
greater demand, and their wages are a
trine higher.
With by far the larger proportion
OF hired men, however, and with near
ly all business men who control no
monopoly, prosperity has taken the
form of increase Of work without in
crease Of pay. Business Is brisker, but
competitive profits are lower. There
Is strong demand and relatively
smaller supply of workmen, but as 1t
is still easier for employers to get men
than fer men to get Jobs, wages are
slow to advance.
Besides conceding prosperity in
spots, 1t may be fairly assumed that,
as compared with the so-called hard
times" conditions are on the whole
improving. That is to say, the hard
times period of the SOS is being su-
| Nerseded ~ what for distinction we

are accustomed to call good times" or
prosperity" But this change is only
swing Of the pendulum. Succeeding
periods Of good times" and "bad
times" follow each other with a regu-
larity that suggests the working OF
some law. II we are now enjoying
good times" It is because the pendu-
lum swings In that direction. But 1t
will swing back again to "hard times"
as certainly as 1t has done SO once in
about every ten years since the be-
ginning Of the century,
To attribute this temporary pros
perlty" to the present American ad-
ministratlon is to prove oneself either
fraud or fool. Only a fraud would
set up that explanation and only
fool would believe in 1t, The same
change from hard times" to pros
perlty" that we in this country are
experiencing, has at the same time
taken place in England under the tory
administration OF Salisbury, In Ger
many under an emperor, In Canada un-
der the democratic Laurler and in Aus
trala under administrations Of various
political compilations. This swinging
back and forth Of the business pendu-
lum recks not Of political parties nor
administrations. 1t is governed by
economic conditions to which neither
parties nor administrations yet pay
much attention. When those condi-
tions are ripe for the change, prosper
ity" succeeds hard times" and then
gives way to them again, regardless OF
forms OF government or Of political
parties, These phenomena are no
more confined to nations than to vot-
ing precincts. They are worldwide,
and the politician who sincerely claims
that his party has produced change
from "hard times" to good times" In
any country, when the same phenom-
ena are observable in all countries,
writes himself down an ass.
While we assume that the depres-
sion Of the '9O's is passing away, the
assumption will not be generally ac-
cepted. Too many men are out OF
work; too many men find 1t as hard
as ever to make ends meet; too many
men are working harder and harder
ann making less than ever before; too
many men are conscious of diminish
ing business opportunities; too many
men find stationary salaries burdened
with advancing prlces-altogether,
prosperity is too unevenly distributed
to allow OF any general acceptance OF
the assumption that 1t is at hand.
Yet 1t Is not to be inferred that those
who assert that prosperity is here are
themselves deceived or are trying to de-
ceive others. Partisanship aside, men
report what they themselves observe.
The situation is mixed, and the re-
ports you get upon the subject depend
upon the environment Of the person
you interrogate. II the outlook in his
circles has improved, he reports in ia
vor Of prosperity; IL his outlook is un-
improved, he reports against 1t.
No thinking, educated Republican,
no well-posted business man, will
claim that the present weak business
revival Is permanent. The gold stand
ard political economy has no perma-
nent cure for panics and periodical In
dustrial depressions, ana claims to
have none.
