always a dollar is true. But a dollar
will not always buy the same measure
Of the necessaries or luxuries OF life. -
The fact is that gold rises and falls,
and so, as the quantity in existence per
capita, increases, gold becomes worth
less. But it does not appear this way.
Rather there is a generally higher aver
age Of prices for all things salable or
purchasable. Prices are high. The cost
Of living has advanced. A dollar will
no longer go as far as it formerl y went.
This is only another way of saying that
gold has fallen.
, Moody's Magazine took up this great
subject in its initial number and drew
analysis Of the present situation from
some of the clearest thinkers in our
country. These included two holding
professorships in economics at eastern
universities, several authors of works
upon finance and commerce, bankers
and men Of affairs. former treasurer
Of the United States, and an active
member Of the New York stock ex-

most comprehensive and interesting
reading yet put into print covering the
SUBJECT from us present dePecI.
It is certain that if the gold produc.
ton keeps up at the present rate for
another twenty years, as seems prob.
able, the worlds stock of gold will be

Smith and Jones were two travelling

conversed in the dark and dusty little
office Of Brown 8 hotel In L--ville.
Perhaps because in these numerous
"conversaziones' they had threshed
threadbare every other subject, they to-
day argued as to the relative thoroness
Of the religious training each had re-

THE GOLD PROBLElN---ANALYS LS
or ITS VITAL SIGNIFICANCE

over period of years, was for prices
to fall, and wages to rise. From 1880
to 1897, broadly speaking, this ten
dercy was followed out. Wages rose
notch by notch, holding steady in some
years and moving up slightly in others.
Prices meanwhile, were following the
great downward trend, that began in
1866, and did not fully spend itself
until 1897. In this period increasing
activity, and development following
cry, and larger production of manufac-
tured articles, tended to lower prices,
and bring down the general average.
According to the accepted statistical
standards of measurement, prices, in
this period of thirty one years, declined
from the extreme high point Of 134 to
about 70. Wages had been down to 70
previous to the great rise that ante
dated 1866, and they followed up pretty
well. When prices were at 134, wages
were at l20. When the downturn came,
that, in its final run, carried prices
from 1874 to IS, wages did not follow,
but kept on forging upward, with oc-
casional reactions, falling indeed at
times, but tending ever higher, relative
to prices.
Wages and Prices.
The year 1897 witnessed low point Of
prices, at 70, while wages were holding
around 165. The twenty-year period
that preceded this wide variation, was

Arrest Men on Charge Of

Smith

After twenty hours continual work,
ending at noon yesterday Detectives
Jones and Mcnamara succeeded in ar
resting Roy Shepard and Orville Rob
enson, who are alleged to have held
up and robbed s. M. Smith Thursday
afternoon in barn at 74S South
Broadway.
Smith met the men only few hours
before his misfortune, but told the
police that he had been drinking with
them in the afternoon and had been
enticed to barn on South Broadway
under pretense that they wished to
show him colt. He says he was
beaten and robbed by the men, who
took $55 from his pockets.
He was able to give only meager
description Of his assailants, but with
this information the two detectives
==tarted ollt to capture the hold-up
men.
About noon yesterday they learned
that Shepard was in a rooming house
at Fifth and San Julian streets. He
was arrested at once. After watching
the house for two hours they saw Rob-
enson enter the building. The detec-
tives followed him to Shepard's room
but when they raped on the door
there was no response. When the
door was forced open Robenson was
found hidden under the bed,
Captain Bradish complimented the
detective department for their work.

NOT FORMAL MEETING.
Statement Regarding Assembly's
Presbyterian Church Matters.

1t was stated today by prominent menu
Der of the Assembly's Presbyterian Church
that no meeting of the congregation has
been called for this evening. An erroneous
impression has been made through mis-
understanding of the notice made public
That notice was merely an informal re-
quest, the member stated, for a general at
tendance of the membership at the mid
week prayer meeting and 1t was announced
that after the regular services the congre-
cation will be asked to decide upon con-
venient date for a congregational meeting
at which the resignation of DR.. Wilson, the
pastor, will be considered.
1t Is understood there is a strong senti-
ment IN the congregation favoring DR.. Will
sons retention IN the pastorate, but there
will. 1t is stated, be no discussion OF the
matter tonight the acceptance or rejection
of the resignation being left entirely to the
congregational meeting to be held later
The projected merger of the Assembly's
congregation with that of the First Pres
byterian Church Is not likely to be dis
cussed. 1t is stated, in advance of the SUBJ
mission of the report from the joint COM
rnittee, and just when this report will be
ready is not known. The apparent impress
sion among the members of the Assemblys
Church is that the union will not be con-
summated; that 1t Is not likely to be seri-
ously considered.
