Priced and Maues.

A report just issued by the depart.
ment Of commerce and labor shows
that wages during 1906 increased more
than prices. This is not hard to be-
lieve when we consider the large In.
crease in savings throughout the coun-
try. The standard of living, too, ad.
yances steadily, particularly among
the wage earning class. And therein
Is the real gain, a gain peculiar to
this country. The rise in prices Of
commodities has been worldwide dur.
Ing the past few years, But the ad.
vance in wages abroad, where there
have been advances, has not by any
mean equaled the advance in prices,
as has been the case in the United
States. Here Is al economical and
statistical fact that the tariff revision,
lists might analyze with care.

Call for Mnre Men

Congress is to be asked to furnish
5000 more enlisted men for the United
States navy. Most of our readers,
probably, do not understand exactly
what this means. The number of
men authorized in 1906 was 1000.
The proposed increase will bring the
navy within handshaking distance Of
the United States army. Do the peo-
pie of the country understand the i'm
portance of seapower? These facts
would indicate It. Never before was
the navy so neal to the army In size.
At the outbreak of the civil war the
United States navy had only 1000
men At the end of the wal 81, 500
men were enrolled. After the civil
war a blight fell upon the navy. but
that blight is past. The country feels
the need of a powerful. efficient navy.
and it now possesses one that, on pa.
per, in number Of enlisted men, is
nearly three quarters the size of the
one which helped to bring the civil
war to a close.
And no n disputes the fact that
the 5000 men now to be asked for are
needed. We have been building ships
so fast that all of our vessels cannot
be put in commission at one time
without the extra men. Since it was
deemed wise TO build the ships, it
must be wise to man them.
The war scare in the Pacific was
baseless, but it will have this effect at
least-it will incline congress to lend
a reader a to the requests of the
navy for more men Inasmuch as it is
nov argued that WI must have a
strong fleet in the Pacific as well as in
the Atlantic, congress may listen at
tentiyely even to the plea Of the navy
for two or three new ships. But this
part Of the program of the navy will
certainly come in for more discussion
than the other.
