DECLINING PRICES.

Tell IL not in washington, preach IL
not in the streets OF New York and
Chicago. that prices of commodities
have fallen. and that. too. with gold
only, the standard and the annual pro-
duct OF the yellow steadily increasing.
BY the way a gentleman tried at a VIII
mington bank TO procure a small sum
of gold. and was told 1t was worth sl.so
for 81 In gold. There is not enough
in the world to transact its business
upon a gold basis for a hall an
hour any day. But let US turn
to prices. Sauerbeck is great au-
thority. His index figures for April
as we learn from the staunch gold or
gan. the Baltimore Sun. show that THE
average OF prices is lower than ii was
some months ago and much lower than
in the years from 1867 to 1877. Taking
prices in 1877 at 100. the index figure
for March. 1900. was 1871. while for
March. 1901. it was IL. Tin lead. copper
and exported coal and cotton declined,
but merino wool advanced slightly. In
suger. tea. coffee minerals, textiles and
sundry materials there has been a fall
ranging from 10 per cent. on minerals
to 2 per cent on materials. But compar-
ed with the average Of the last ten
years tin, coal copper, animal food n
textiles are higher. while sugar, cof-
fee and tea are cheaper"

WAR WITH GERMANY.

The effort on the part Of politicians
to get up a war scare as TO Germany
viii hardly work. we hope. Senator
Lodge. among others. thinks he sees
a lurid war cloud coming this way from
the German horizon He thinks Euro
pean nations are just "spilin for a
fight with Uncle Sam. Lodge is a
Massachusetts, imperialist- He Is a
globe grabber. He wants a big army
as well as a big navy. Rocsevelt-Teddy
h Fierce-is also pleading for a great
army to be ready for a great war.
This is a new outburst OF ~treacherous
republican demagogues. To get the
huge standing army a great war fever
and fear must be produced. Germany
wants a coaling station in Venezuela
This will outrage the antiquated Mon
o doctrine. and a big wal must come
as a result. The Philadelphia Times
has OIL his subject a level head:
The essence of the Monroe doctrine
was the simple rule Of Skinny on your
own side The United States would
not NEEDLE in the eastern hemisphere,
and Europe should not NEEDLE in the
western. Since We ave abandoned the
first proposition. W. mi enforce the
second.
Mr.. Blaine understood this very we'll
when he refused to consider a propo.
sition to acquire a coaling station in
the Mediterranean. However desirable
ii might be, he said, If the United
States were to establish naval posts on
the other side of the globe, it would
be impossible to object to European ma
tons establishing such posts upon this
side. and the great moral defense we
have in the Monroe doctrine would be
gone.
The Monroe doctrine is not a settled
principle of international law; it is
rather a law Of courtesy"

Can it be true that the compress is
doomed? So thinks Me- G. c.. Hanson,
as reported in Tie Savannah News.
He is the lessee of the Central railroad
Of Georgia's five congresses and he
also operates seven others. He thinks
they are surely doomed unless it can
be made TO appear that sit is injurious
to h staple to compress it at the
ginneries." 1.-The farmer" said Mr..
Hanson, would save money by the
establishment of ginnery| congresses,
as the transportation rate would be
materially reduced in consequence, and
economy is the power that. will cause
the passing, Of the congresses, provided
the staple is not injured by ginnery
compression" ''Of course" he added,
cotton compressors would not wei
the passing of the congresses,
for it would mean h passing of their
business. but: it may be counted upon
as certain that the most economic
methods will prevail"
