WE NEED THE MONEY.

\ dozen years ago the United States was inst
emerging from an era of hard times which had
brought prices of everything down to a very low
level, with wages cut down to minimum. 50 thai
people were very cautious in their expenditures
and reluctant to break dollar lest the change be
fritted away. As consequence the business men
very keen to secure the trade of the people
with money to spend, and manufacturers exerted
every effort TO place their wares on the market and
were content to receive a very small margin of pro-
fit on their goods. Competition was very strong for
the demand was limited, and money was not plen-
tiful among the consumers, With the passing Of
the panic the production increased. and it seemed
the people about to enter upon an era of pros
periy with plenty of work at fair wages and every
thing cheap to consumers. But some bright men
III business conceived the idea that the merciless
competition was unnecessary, so they combined and
eliminated a great portion of it. Then the manu-
facturers boosted prices to the wholesalers. and
wholesalers the retailers and the retailers to the
consumers, with the result that the consumer found
his money losing purchasing power. The man on
salary wages put the proposition up to his en-
ployer; he must have more money to meet the in
creased expense of living. The employees wages be-
ing increased, the employer naturally passed his
increased expense to the consumer. 1t Is like the
old proposition of lifting ones self over fenca by
a hard pull the boot straps. If each increase in
wages is accompanied by an increase in the &C okf

Weiss, who was with Mullen when he
was shot. and who has been held at the
Alexandria county jail as witness for

morning by order Of Mr.. Mackey.
Mr. Mackey's action in not prosecute

with Mullen at the hospital. Mr..
MacIoey said:
Mullen told me that while he was
sure his assailant was a member of the
Weiss family, it would do no good to
prosecute Jacob Weiss. He absolutely
refused to go to Alexandria county to-
morrow morning and be present at the
hearing. As for the reasons he said
