Cost of Living and Wages.

Cost of living. according to Dun's
index number of commodity prices,
was S07.S91 on Aug. / against $99.456
month previous and $100177 a year
ago. The decline is quite general, meats
being lower than at any time since No
Vember, 1901. And yet free traders
continue to claim that the cost of living
is constantly advancing with no cor
responding increase in wages. The op-
poSitc, however, is the case. 1t is true
that the cost of living is still higher
than during the last free trade era, but
suppose. we carry our comparison fur
thcr back with Il view TO finding the
chingeS in prices and wages. What to-
day costs $97.S91. in 1860 cost $l1J.191
in 1870. $14S.7S1; in 1880, sos. 500,
And yet who will deny that wages
are twice what they were in 1860 or
much greater than in 1870 or 1880 or
1880? american wages" says the
New York Times in recent editorial,
have continually risen of late very
rapidly and largely"
Cost of living varies and huctuates,
but wages under protection rise con
tinually, rapidly and largely" 1t is a
condition never known under free trade
either abroad or at home. 1t is condi-
ton that follows protection only. and
when such Il condition exists and its
cause is known why interfere with
that cause. Let well enough alone.

AMERICAN WATERS.
They Are Rapidly Displacing AlcO-
hoIic Drinks For Table Use.

They Are Rapidly Displacing Alco-
hoIic Drinks For Table Use.
1t is matter of pride and gratif1ca-
ton that American table waters have
forged to the front as among the best
in the world. In point of fact, they are
probably the very best. Fine table wa
ters are to large and rapidly increas-
ing extent displacing spirituous bever-
ages at mealtime, a gain alike for
temperance and for health. So pure
and wholesome, so refreshing and SO
palatable are the table waters of the
Jr ID States that all imported waters
81 by contrast. Yet foreign waters
continue to be imported in large guam
titles as the result of habit and preju-
dice rather than of intelligent discrim-
nation. 1t is quite within the truth to
say that the people of this country
could get along very well indeed If not
a drop of foreign table water ever
came through the custom house. And
yet the pending reciprocity treaty with
France foolishly provides for a 20 per
cent reduction of the tariff on mineral
waters! There might be some excuse
lpi tiiio piopoSitioh IL hheiiSd was sui
fcring for lack of native supply of
such waters. But the contrary Is the
case. That fact having been demon
siratcd by chemical analysis and use,
~, reason remains for inviting the in
creased importation of foreign waters.
Let us have less rather than more. 1t
would be an excellent thing and pa
triotic and sensible thing, too, if Amer
Jeans should insist that native table
waters he provided at all banquets and
dinners. Why not? Good protection
lists make point of urging the use
and consumption of domestic products.
That rule should be applied to table
waters. America has the best in the
world. and Americans should use them.

Mr.. w. Farrer Ecroyd in the London
Spectator states the home appreciation
of free trade in the following words:
I'VE say 1t is wrong to import goods
which these people ought to be en-
ployed in making, wrong to let Ameri-
can and other protection compel the
transfer Of industries and capital to
their shores which might well have fur
nished sorely needed employment here.
And no increase of income from these
foreign Investments can console us for
the needless misery and degradation
existing here"
Free trade in England has furthered
the interests Of those who hold foreign
investments to the needless misery and
degradation of wage earners. Those
who have the money, neglecting the
reality, romance about the great moral
victory of Golden. but fail to mention
the realization of the hopes of his EN-
ployers-viz, that the rich should grow
richer and the poor poorer.

ACCUSED OF STEALING
BROOKLYN BOAT
Local Young Man Arrested Be
Iieve the Case Will Cons
Out All Right.

Detective Sergeant O'Farrell, of
Brooklyn, came to this city yesterday
afternoon with a warrant for the
arrest of Guy Mallet. Patrolman Nc
Dermott arrested Mallet, and after an
examination he was released until
wanted.
Mallet has been employed at the
Columbia Engineering Works in
Brooklyn. Last Saturday, it is alleged,
ne took the auxiliary yacht doctor, F"
belonging to the company, and came
to this city aboard of it. Young
Mallet declared that he had permis-
sion to take the boat. He did not go
away on the boat, but simply came to
this city and moored the boat, where
il still lies. The charge of grand
larceny is made by William Lenoki,
of 60S Green street, Brooklyn, an
owner.
People familiar with the case do not
believe that Mallet, who is only six
teen years old, had any intention of
stealing the boat, for, they argue,
person wishing to steal boat would
not bring it to the CITY where it was
built and thus well-known. Mallet
has always borne good reputation
and it is thought he will come out all
right.

INFORMAL DANCE
BY SOCIAL CIRCLE.
About Fifty Couples Present at
BoyntOn Beach Last Eight-An
Enjoyable Affair.

The first informal dance of the
Social Circle at Boynton Beach last
evening was a complete success. The
floor was in prime condition and the
music was excellent, Morrissey's or
chestra being in attendance. The
young men of this organization had
worked hard to make a success OF the
closing dance of the season at the
beach and anyone who was present
last evening will testify to the success
of their efforts.
ME dancing floor was at no time
crowded, but the attendance was very
good, it being estimated that about
fifty couples were present. Light re-
freshments were served during the
evening. The dancers kept right on
until about midnight before they de-
parted homewards, with the strains
of Home, Sweet Home, ringing in
their ears. Guests were present from
New Brunswick, Wood bridge, Rah
way, this city, and several other near
by towns.
This organization is of very recent
origin and the members deserve to be
congratulated for their successful
start in the social world of this city
and Woodbridge. Several of the young
men are from the county seat. The
floor manager last night was Roy S.
Hail. assisted by F. j. Mulvihill.
The reception committee was CON-
posed of J. E. Finigan, j. Dunno,
G. DUNCAN and Paul Groban. The
members of the arrangement commit
tee were Arthur G. Burns, William
Boylan, B. DUNCAN and Joseph E.
Growney.

MORE CHILDREN THAN
SEATING CAPACITY IN
SCHOOLS THIS YEAR.
Superintendent ShUH has Finished Figuring the Attendance and
Finds Same Condition Lasts Year ExssSchOoI No. May
Supply the Necessary Room--Atendance at High School,
More Room at No. 3 at Maurer than Pupils.

Superintendent Shull has at last
succeeded IN figuring out the number
of scholars in each school compared
with the number of seats. 1t is as
yet impossible to tell whether No. 6,
when completed, will furnish enough
room.
In school No. l there are 688 chill
dren and but 572 seats; No. 2, 672
children and 592 seats; No. 8, which
is at Maurer, 70 children with 100
seats; No 4, 1877 children and 900
seats: No. 5, 512 children with 440
seats; High school, 436 pupils with
43S seats.
From this it would seem that No. 6
would supply sufficient room, but Mr..
Shull said this morning that this
could not be ascertained because so
many parents did not attempt to enter
their children, knowing of the lack of
room, but with the new school open
it is possible that many of them will
apply. If none of these do apply, Mr..
Shull said it is probable that with the
new districting, No. will supply all
the room needed.
In the High school there are 180
pupils, which is thirty more than have
ever been enrolled there
Regarding the new districting no
thing definite has yet been uone. This
is realized to be difficult task and it
will take some time. 1t is hoped,
however, to have it done by the time
No. 6 is opened on November 1st

BOYS ASKED
WHERE WERE
MOSQUITOES.
Mr.. Bunten had Fine Time on
his Tour to the Pacific
Coast.
AT GAR. ENCAMP MENT

George r. Bunten has returned to
his home in this city from his Western
trip. Mr. Bunten first went to San
Francisco where he took part in the
parade of the G. A. R. veterans who
held their national encampment at
that place on August 10.
In conversation with News report
er this morning Mr. Bunten said:
II, with four others, James Smith,
SEN or V ce Comm nder of South Ri
yer Assistant Adjutant General,
George Breigh, of Newark, Vice Com
mander Joseph Colne, of Newark
and delegate Edward Marks, of Eliza
beth, arrived in San Francisco to-
gether. We went TO the rooms Of the
department of New Jersey in the
Palace Hotel.
"On the day of the march, MI.
Bunten continued, "there were 52
veterans in that line of 10, 600 who
were from New Jersey. This was the
largest number present from any East
ern state.
"San Francisco was ablaze with
light on the night of the march. The
parade was two and half miles long
and on Market street the veterans
passed beneath two arches seventy five
feet long. There were so many cleo
trio lights on the arches that it was as
bright as day.
Mr.. Bunten has a good story to tell
his friends.
"While we, tifty-two from New
jersey" he says, "were on the march,
almost at every corner we would be
met with the cry from numerous small
boys, Hey Mister, where's your
mosquitoes?' :" Mr.. Bunten says that
if the veterans from New Jersey had
only thought of this before they would
have had hand bills with a mosquito
on it printed and they would have
distributed them as they walked
along
After the encampment Mr.. Bunten
took a trip through California. He
met James GrowneJ and Louis Hall,
of this city, who were also on trip,
and Grandell Peets and Carlton
Owens, formerly of this city. Mr.
Bunten brought home with him one
of the 31th annual encampment buttons
and it is now on exhibition in Nc
Cullough's window. In all, eight of
the buttons are in New Jersey.
