but whatever the time Of Its duration
labor MS a whole would suffer.
1t would seem that all intelligent
labor must understand this. The his
tory Of the struggles of labor under a
system of deprecated currency to Sc
cure an equitable advance in wages
ought to convince all workingmen of
the utter folly of the free silverite pre-.
tense that they would be benefited by a
policy which would give them a dollar
of reduced purchasing power. They
should need 40 other experience to show
them this than was furnished by the
paper money period In u W coun-
try. Then, as in all previous expert
ences Of the same nature in the worlds
history, the price of labor was the last
thing to rise and 1t did not rise as fast
or as far as the prices Of commodities.
While from 1850 to 1866 the prices OF
all n%ecessaries multiplied two and one
half times, the average of all wages
was increased only by one-half and this
was brought about by many hard strug-
giles.
The wage Garner wants sound money.
He wants a dollar of the highest pur-
chasing power-a dollar whose ex-
changeable value has some stability and
not n that will continually cheat him.
The ingenious theory Of Mr.. Altgeld
does not appeal to the interests of labor.

CHOATE FOR AMBASSADOR.

Joseph H. Choate Of New York will be
the next ambassador Of the United
States to Great Britain. Very few in
telligent people need to be told who Mr..
Choate is. For years he has held an
eminent position as a lawyer and he is
n Of the highest authorities in the
country on international law. He is
also distinguished as an orator, his rank
in this respect being perhaps second to
none, while he enjoys no little celebrity
as a polished wit.
Mr.. Choate has never been in public
life, nor has he taken a very prominent
part in political affairs, but he is well
equipped in all respects but diplomatic
experience for the duties of ambassador
and will undoubtedly maintain at the
Court of st. James the high standard of
excellence made by his predecessors.
He will go to the British court at a most
important time in the relations of the
two countries and it Is safe to predict
that his influence will be exerted in the
direction of making stronger and more
cordial the friendship between the great
English-speaking nations.
