For real wages to remain sta
tionary it is necessary for money
wages to rise in the same ratio as
prices. This almost never happens,
for reasons which are very simple
when you have thought of them.
Commodities are extremely sensitive
to supply and demand. Their prices
are continually changing, weekly,
daily, hourly, even in some examples
from minute to minute. They rise
and fall. Money wages are obviously
much less variable. They are gov
erned by custom and habit, and wage
bargains between employer and en-
ploye are at the shortest from week
to week and 90 from that to the term
of a year. The wages Of large bodies
of organized labor, such as mine
workers, railroad trainmen, printers,
textile mill workers, carpenters, steel
workers, masons, etc, are subject to
formal agreements which cannot be
changed except by negotiation and
compromise, sometimes amicable and
sometimes not. The employer in such
instances would say, very rightly,
that if wages were continually fuct-
uating, as commodities are, it would
be impossible to make contracts to
perform work, except from day to
day, because the capitalist or the
contractor could not definitely calcu-
late his costs. That is obviously
true, as business goes, but the fact
remains that real wages are contin-
ually Auctuating, as the commodities
for which dollars are exchanged go
up and down. That is to say, the
purchasing power of money wages is
variable. 1t ought not to be so. An
economic burden seems in that case
to have fallen in the wrong place.

Every great rise in commodity
prices has two phases, one succeed
ing the other. The rise in prices,
to begin with, is owing to an unusual
demand for the products of labor,
and as this continues labor becomes
fully employed. The waste of I'M
employment is eliminated. Every
one has something to do, and al
though money wages at first do not
rise the wage disbursement to labor
in the mass is greater. Therefore, the
decline in the purchasing power of
a dollar, owing to the rise in prices,
is more than compensated by the in
creased buying power of labor as a
whole. This is the first phase, dur
ing which it may be proved that in
spite of the rise in prices people are
more prosperous, seeing that the con-
sumption Of goods is greater than
before. That, as we have said, may
be owing wholly to the fact that all
labor is now hired, where before
there was unemployment. Now, we
come to the second phase. AS prices
go on rising the purchasing power
of the dollar continues to fall, and
this shrinkage in what a dollar will
buy presently offsets the fact that
more people are earning dollars. At
that point the decline in real wages

Great Britain is preparing a new
issue of 81 currency notes. The new
paper money will be the same size as
the existing notes, but will differ con-
siderably in design and particularly in
type The original 81 notes had to be
prepared in hurry and have not been
regarded as very safe owing to the
danger of counterfetng. The new
issue has already been approved and
is expected to be ready to be put in
circulation early in 1917.

After the close Of the Napoleonic
wars money wages and prices fell as

Of war initiation, but real wages act

faster than money wages. After
that came many vicissitudes, periods
Of initiation and periods OF depres-
sion. prices and money wages gong
up and down, but always the real
wage was tending to rise, so that IN
the nineteenth century the purchas-
