little girl absolutely refused to go to
school unless she could wear shirt waists
and skirts such as her elder sister did.

GOLD SUPPLY, HIGH PRICES,
AND THE PEERLESS"

The trusts are not altogether re
sponsible for present high prices. Nor
for the elimination of Mr.. Bryan. Old
Mother Earth has played a striking
part in both-as the following late
figures will specify:
From the discovery of gold TO the
year 1882, the production of gold is
put by accepted estimates at $780,
00O. 900.
From 1881 20 the present it was
$1,000. 600, 600.
The entire monetary gold stock of
the world was put in 1894 at 81, 1885,
900, 600 To that sum there has since
been added large part of S4,ll3,
100000.
This means that in the past four
years-so short a time as TO make the
effect on the worlds markets direct
and impulsive-the monetary gold
total has been increased by at least
30 per cent
An immediate response was rise
in prices. A more distant effect is
comparative security against depres-
sions Reactions from mutations, from
evil or Ill considered legislation, and
from speeulations on a large scale, are,
of course. inevitable. But with so large
store of money to be called from the
vaults in answer to the slightest
advance III its earning capacity, last
ing depression is now more nearly i'm
possible than 1t has ever been.
Mr.. BRYAN was first candidate for
the Presidency in 1896. Up TO that
time the worlds gold output was
small, Though growing. Through the
/ four wears of his service in Congress,
from 1891 to 1895, the South African
contribution was just making itself
felt. The COmmoner's economic train
ing was accordingly based upon the
! production up 10 about 1890, when II
wavered around 100000. 900 a year. In
| 1906 II reached the stupendOus total
OF $40O 900 900, and last year 1t went
I to S4l2.000,O0O.
The effect-even if Mr. Brysn's free
silver panacea had not been faulty
was TO destroy the need he was seek
ing 10 meet. This was the course
Dame Nature took 70 discourage talk
of fat a. substitute for her sub
stance She succeeded, according 10

market calculations 80 materially as to

every commodity which the world con
sumes.

Later Inauguration

The state OF the weather on March 4

results, but II was allowed to die away.

It is earnestly hoped that the present

TWO TRADE BODIES WHICH
SHOULD BUILD TOGETHER

An office building, designed accord
ing TO its special uses, is to be erected
OH one of the most conspicuous sites in
the Capital by the Southern CONNER
cial Congress. The Chamber of Com
merce has i'm mind to erect similar
building which il shall occupy in part.
Either OF these two bodies may very
reasonably carry through its plan.
But neither of them can work so well
as both together. One building would
bo large enough for both bodies, one
auditorium would meet the needs of
both at one outlay instead OF two. and
both would probably be tenants in
their new quarters sooner if they build
Ell jointly than if each stood alone.
The local committee of the Southern
Congress is shortly to entertain the
president of that BODY at dinner. For
the good of the city, as well as of both
these important and practical organizs
tions, these Washington committeeman
should canvass this plan thoroughly in
advance of that meeting

objections are not fsncifuI. They had

TRADE AGREEMENTS; A NEW
AND GOOD WORK.

When John Mitchell put aside the
heavy responsibilities OF the presidency
o. the most powerful labor union in the
United States, the United Mine Work
crs OF America. he entered upon work
he had been planning for a decade.
This i the intercession of friend be
tween hostile capital and labor.
The National Civic Federation gave
to him the opportunity TO realize his
dream and he became the head of the
trade agreement committee OF that or
ganizstion.
Although no publicity has been given
to the details of his work-and prob
ably none ever will bet is known
that he has brought together more than
one thousand corporations and their
workpeOple. In most of these confer
ences, definite. reasonable agreements
have been made by which employees
contract to render loyal service, to re
main at work during disputes until
arbitration shall have been rejected
and. in consideration Of these pledges
the employers have agreed TO improve
living and working conditions.
Some Of the largest corporation in
the country have been brought into
close relations and common sense com.

has cost the nation the life of one
citizen elected to the first of the two
offices Henry Harrison.
If the States cannot be trusted, with
Congress. TO amend the Constitution in
diligently, then the whole security of
the American people hangs on the thin
thread of chance. Because no one can
tell when some other amendment might
be forced through.
As the succession of Administrations
is now ordered the people not only wait
until March 4 to install the new ex-
ecutive officers, but usually until the
first Monday in the December follow
ing-more than a full year-tO install
the new Congress. Finally, there is a
clear value in postponing the day for
reforms ordered at the polls, value in
making new officials conservative which
is not substantially offset by any dan
ger that the retiring officials will cross
the expressed will of the people
Prudence for the whole people, as
well as safety for those who Partici-
pate in the exercises. requires that the
date of Inaugural tion shall be postponed
into the period of mild air and dry skies.
George Wsshington's day was April 80,
and Thursday. By day of the month
and day of the week it is now proposed
To return 20 that same time. The day
of the month Is urged as fixing the
term of the President at four years
exactly, the day of the week as pre-
venting confusion when April 80 shall
fall on a Sunday
All the governors on the national
committee are now committed TO the
last Thursday. 1t is important that
the others of las shall unite on that
day, rather than fritter our strength on
any two or three. The Congress which
proposes the amendment to the States
can as we'll provide that succeeding
Presidents shall serve TO the last
Thursday in April as now it is provid-
ed that the elections shall occur on the
first Tuesday, following the first Mon
day, in November.
