hint of hard times in these government
utterances and figures. II rising prices
are due to an increase in production OF
basic money, that is. the money OF ulti-
mate redemption, there Is no immediate
prospect of relief from rising prices.
However, this is one of the muiti-angled
questions and may present a different
aspect from every point Of approach. If
the measure of value increased and the
sum of goods to be measured remained
stationary the problem would be simpli-
fled. But the sum of things to be meas
ured in money Is constantly growing
and perhaps in greater ratio than the
measure of value. But these are ques-
tions over which learned economists.
armed with volumes Of statistics and
tabular matter. may wrangle to their
hearts content.
There has been no period within recent
years when the men who carry on the

New York and Mr.. Wilson,

New York is growing RESTLESS on the
subject of Mr.. Wilson's speeches. Even
his friends are reading tpem with eye
brows lifted and an expSession of i'm
patience. There is opiniSn that he is
talking too much and tSo indefinitely.
Just what sort and how nsuch of a pro-
gressive is he? Just howl pad is bad big
business? Just what is sis remedy for
taking the crooks out of srookedness?
The first suggestion of 1Ir. Wilson for
President came from n York. very
close to Wall street. Al hat time Mr..
Wilson was anti-Bryan. ~ was rated by
the Bryanites as a reactionary. But the
reactionaries liked him the better for the
enemies he had. and boorssd him On the
strength of his well know opinions.
Not a single Wilson boo Ter of that day
could have been persuadeiothat a change
of view was possible to their favorite.
They reckoned him as safe against
temptation. and surely xand securely
theirs The idea seemed 4 be that Bry-
anism was waning; and Fey offered to
the party a man of tbs conservative
school. widely read in mats.rs of govern
ment and much respected. for scholar
ship and powers of expression.
But the unexpected happeS Jed. Mr.. Will
son was not as firm in thu conservative
faith as his sponsors beT:ved. When
temptation came he swaysd. and then
yielded. Organism proved H.ronger than
he had thought it, and he weaker than
his friends had thought him Almost be-
tween suns, the conservative became a
radical, and, in a way. the original Will
son men were left in the Nrch. Their
leader went over to the opposition.
Mr.. Wilson. it may be sal made no
halfway journey, but travel :. the whole
distance. He not only adopte4 Organism,
but praised it's author as tN first and
most consistent democrat of Ahis genera
ton. He pledged himself on Fight to all
for which Mr.. Bryan was thtn standing.
and capped the climax by al tepting the
nomination for President at 'tr. Bryan's s
hands and mounting a platfarm of his
construction.
After that. what had the cd aservatives
of New York to expect? Tha ! after ac-
cepting the presidency at NJ Bryan's
hands. he should turn back al u become
conservative again? That ,le should
do his creator, even before Inaugural
ton? That he should treat the Baltimore
platform as useless lumber nov that 1t
had served campaign purposes?
If Mr.. Wilson is talking in che Bry-
ante strain and giving New Yorh a scare,
is he doing more than staying Ie,t in his
new environment?

states then negligible in the European
equation. Still, the Gladstonian wish and

terms of the parley now in progress. the
prestige of the Turk has been perma-

Home rule for Ireland, 1t is true, is
not yet an accomplished fact. The fur
ther course may be as rocky as the road

to array itself against the house Of COM

But the measure is well started, and its
