Some one has started the absurd re-
port that the value of the nickel In
five-cen piece is greater than the face
value of the coin. As usual in such
cases. the STORY" is being reproduced
in the columns of various newspapers
A little calculating with pencil and
paper should convince any one OF the
falsity OF the statement. The weight
Of a fvc-cent piece is 77.l6 grains. In
an avoirdupois pound there are 1000
grains, so it would require 9O.12 i've
cert pieces to make pound. The face
value OF these coins would be sf.53.
Five.cent pieces contain % per cent OF
nickel and 10 per cent Of copper. Win
nickel selling at so cents pound and
copper at % cents a pound, the value
Of the alloy would be 81. cents. COM

OF A pound Of ive-cent pieces is s4.oo'

ECONOMIC FALLACY
OF CHILD LABOR
Only One Thing More Costly
and That Is Idle Machinery.
Re- WILLIAM WHITTAM.

The Federal child labor measure ~
now Law.
Child labor is economically unsound
and Congress has put stop TO IT,
cotton manufacturer writes:
about the only thing more costly
than child labor is idle machinery
England and New England have both
found it So
Cotton manufacturers OF the Caro-
linas have opposed child labor legisIa-
ton because they suffer sadly from
labor shortage. They predict near dis
aster now that il is definitely settled
that the child is to be excluded from
their factories.
Here, however, is the prophecy OF
Southcrner, Professor Jerome Dovd'
n North Carolinian, who wrote in the
Forum" back in June, 1898, saying;
The South had dug the very sand
from under the foundations Of New
Englsnd's cotton industry" He brushed
nsid. the opinions of those who did not
agree with him By saying: the
error in their reasoning lies upon the
surface" And he then settled the
future of the Southern cotton mill
labor supply in these emphatic words;
AS for the supply Of labor giving out
,ba. ie very wild notion" "all
tho mills that could be built in the
region in the next half century would
hardly shelter the stream of sgri-
culturists uho would seek asylum in
them"
However. as to labor. this will be
regarded now as an example Of pro-
fessional inexsctitudc. The case is not
so simple as Professor Dowd thought
II happened that al tho time he wrote
his prophecy 1888 the average price
Of cotton was lower than ever before
in its history. No wonder cotton field
hands were anxious for while to be.
come cotton factory operatives!
Thctdor Price says: Let those who
condemn it upon the ground that 1t
stretches the Interstate Commerce
clause Of the Constitution too far ask
themselves whether they would not
stretch a POINT in order TO make IT i'm
possible 10 work their own children IN
factory eight 10 ten hours day. The
bill ia not perfect. II will be difficult
OF clforcein, Mt. but it is long step
forward. and its enactment advances
immensely the cause Of childhood m
the United States. In his Data Of
Ethics Herbert Spencer attributed the
evolution of morality to the love of
children, and higher authority than
Spencer prophesied that in the mil
lcnium a little child shall lead them
The sentiment that finds expression in
the care and education OF children is
the aspiration Of our better nature. and
it will indeed be a dark day for this
country if caring for the little ones
ever comes to be unconstitutional"

What Became of II.

The fact that an investment IN rail-
road property is an investment IN
permanent plant, capable OF use Tor no
other purpose but that OF transporta-
ton. has been emphasized over ana
over again, but, whenever railway
company in this country gets INTO
financial difficulties. the cry is always
raised. 1T is impossible for TINS
amount of money to have been spen.
honestly and not bring any returns
Nothing Of the kind. A great dear
more money can be lost in the rail-
road industry By poor business judg-
ment than the shrewdest and biggest
thief would have any chance Of steal
ing. and this fact is one well worth
keeping in mind when the question OF
government ownership of railroads IS
discussed Railway Age Gazette.

when its meats were prepared on
farms or in small slaughter houses

mills. one or more in each community;
when IFS leather came from many
small tan houses" wherever enough

enough to drink it. All this has

are supplied by big slaughtering
establishments located at market
centres. Country -four mills are Tar

MANY of these useful institutions stu
exist. The local tannery is known no
more. And the little diStillery is al
most a thing of the past, as the big
one will be some sweet day when we
have become wiser. There is a reason
for all thcs. changes. and that reason
is simply economy. against which u

We are beginning to feel the price
we pay for this "war prosperity"
The average family's Theoretical
food budget has increased 80 PEI
cent in the last twelve months.
Wheat has risen SO Is per cent, ow-
ing partly, of course. to the fact
that the crop is short. but perhaps
cvch more to the fact that Europe is
willing to pay very high price for
the small surplus we shall have 20
sell. There is more than enough
wheat for domestic use; there is a
remainder for export; but there can
not be one price for the wheat VIC
cat and another for the surplus we
.'ll, because wheat is a world staple.
The necessities of the bcllgercnts
make the price for all Flour has
increased more than 30 per cent in Il
year. Provisions have advanced
variously 33 10 TO SO % per cent
over the prices prevailing year
ago. Butter is 80 per cent higher.
Nothing is untouched. Goldfish and
salt mackerel have gone up as much
as some other things. 1t is not con-
fined to food. Steel billets have more
than doubled in price since Il year
ago. Manufactures of cotton ar
~ to 90 per cent higher. No fact
OF common experience is comparable
at the present time to this general
and rapid rise in prices. it is world
vide, variably only in degree. 50
also is the rise in wages. We talk
of this as if wages were being ac-
tually increased, but for the most
part it is a question merely of re-
storing the buying power of wage3'
that is to say, their command over
goods. There are instances of wages
having risen faster than prices
especially in the war industries, but
on miscellaneous evidence it may be
doubted whether wages have risen as
fast as prices in the average. II
thew have not, then actual wages
have fallen.
