A SPRING lDYL!
BY Daniel NIonaglo.

They sat upon a messy bank.
A youth and maiden fair,
While flowers blooming all around
Perfumed the evening air
And she was young and passing fair,
dream OF love and joy.
And he'd a bold and manly brow
fair and graceful boy.
Silent they sat, and all around
A dreamy stiffness lay:
But yet their quivering lips betrayed
The words they longed TO say.
AZ length the maid, with ripping laugh
The dreamy silence broke,
As, with a soft melodious voice.
Thus to the youth she spoke:
Now let you wish for something good
And / win do the same:
Whether II be for boundless wealth,
Or great and honored name.
But first this compact tween us two,
Before to wish we go,
What e'er our hearts desire the most
Well let each other knowl"
A moments silence fell between.
Now, what's your WISH" she said.
He looked into her beauteous eyes,
And blushed a rosy red.
Darling" he said, "slnce first we met

Economic Laws Work
In on Price Problem
on Metallic Basis
BY William Laughlin.

If the volume of gold coin affects
prices OF commodities-if prices
rise when money is plentiful and de-
cline when the volume is lessened,
as economists declare drop of
prices is due to set in, since it is
announced that wage scales and
other costs have reached such a
figure that it is no longer profitable
TO operate a considerable number
Of gold mines. The result is that
the production OF gold has declined
materially.
Since our currency is based on
gold. a reduced output of the pre-
cious metal must necessarily have
restrictive influence on the volume
of circulating medium. While prices
have doubled, speaking generally. in
FIVE years, a gold dollar is the same
now as before the war, though 10
dig the metal from the ground may
cost twice as much as then and when
dug it will buy only half SO much.
A large proportion of gold mines
produce low-grade ores. When the
cost of digging out and smelling the
rock costs more than the gold OBJ
tanned will bring. naturally the mine
ceases to work. since the production
of gold must pay a profit like any
other business. 1t is the hope of
sudden and huge profits that has
lured men to seek for gold but the
day of strikes big enough to have
an appreciable effect on the supply
may be well over. A large proper
ton of the metal is now produced
by going deep into the earth and
taking out ores that would have
been nothing but worthless rock tic
the forty miner"
II may be that the evil Of ex-
cessive prices which we rail against
and for which almost as many solu-
tons are offered as there are in
dividuals will through the process
of a restricted currency right it
self. With too much gold its value,
comparatively. falls and prices ad-
vance until production becomes un-
profitable and is lessened. Then
prices decline until the parity be-
tween gold and commodities is
reached. This starts the resumption
of gold seeking. If this theory is
correct we have only TO wait and
prices will take the turn desired.
Economic laws may do the job
without our assistance.
