Washington. June Ist.-If Raisuli,
the b lit king of Morocco, causes
the death of Perdicaris, the American
captive, he win pay for it with his life
regardless of any foreign power. This
in effect, was cabled by the state de
partment to Consul Gummere at Tan
gier today. At the first indication of
any harm to Pedicaris or Varley, his
British stepson, marines from the
American ships now in the harbor at
Tangier will be landed and sent after
the brigands. The state department
has received an intimation that the
British government is inclined to con-
cede the demands made by Raisuh,
both for heavy ransom and the es-
tablishment of sort of secondary
kingdom. The state department con-
siders this very poor policy.

Cost of Living and Wages.

Cost of living, according to Dun'F
index number of commodity prices
was $97S91 on Aug. 1 against $99.456
q month previous and $100.177 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 OPP
posite, 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
ther back with view to finding the
changes in prices and wages. What to
day costs $97.S91, in 1860 cost $115. 191
in 1870, $14S.7S1; in 1880, $10S.6j5.
And yet who will deny that wages
are twice Whit they were In 1860 or
much greater than in 1870 or 1880 or
1890? american wages" says the
New York Times in recent editorial
'have continually risen Of late very
rapidly and largely"
Cost of living varies and fluctuates,
but wages under protection rise ICON,
tinually, rapidly aid largely" 1t is a
condition never known under free trade
either abroad or at home. 1t is condi,
don that follows protection only, and
when such a condition exists and its
cause is known why interfere witt
that cause. Let well enough alone.
