Fifteenth Street, last nigh. at 1896
o'clock cut short violent debate on
the unemployment situation. They
chased the debaters and their audience

cheered attacks upon his soldiers and

applauded Alderman Adolf Beckerman,
Socialist, who discoursed At length
upon the doctrines of his party.
Resolutions protesting against the
S250,OOO appropriation to be voted by
the Board of Aldermen for the enter

patriotic addresses were quashcd and
protests that they made against the

FOREIGN TRADE

American manufacturers who
operate branch factories in Canada
or plan TO establish them there. are
watching with great interest the
tariff controversy. Present fac
tories would suffer heavy loss were
the Dominion placed on a basis OF
free trade.
Another factor is the preference
which Britain may give 10 all parts
Of The empire as compared with
other countries. Were the tariff wall
between Canada and the United
States maintained, and Canadian
exports admitted freely 10 Great
Britain. doubtless many new Ameri-
can factories would be erected in
Canada and a great volume OF trade
which now flows direct from the
United States to different parts OF
the British empire might pass
through Canada.
The Financial Post Of Toronto
f~oresees no drastic reduction in the
Canadian tariff and suggests that
Britain may extend further prefer
ence.

The Financial Outlook

20 Years-Stock Market Prospects.

The Victory note campaign will
end with an oversu description. To
have an oversubscription however,
the rate Of purchases must show a
substantial increase in the last few
days Of the campaign. In previous
issues. subscriptions also Jagged IN
til close TO the end, but the rate had
hardly been as low as in this one.
At the beginning Of the week Sec'y
Glass announced that only one
third Of the loan had been taken
with two-thfrds Of the time gone.
The Victory notes are an invest
ment opportunity such as will never
be offered again. A yield OF "a per
cent on a United States government
obligation, which is practically ex-
empt from all taxation for the small
investor is a plum" TO be had only

an excellent protection against mar

tom. The next turn should follow
soon after the close Of the Victory
Loan campaign, and should be the
beginning Of a gradual upward nn-
dency.
The graph herewith presents the
course OF 20 railroad bonds since
1899. It clearly shows that prices
are close 10 their lowest level dur
ing the past 20 years.
Bond prices touched their high
est point in the years 1893 TO 1901.
This was partly the result Of large
accumulation of capital, which oc-
Cured during the business depres-
sion, which lasted from 1898 10
1897. Moreover, the low level of
commodity prices caused by the de-
preston resulted in larger sales Of
foodstufs and merchandise abroad.
so that we had the largest favor
able trade balance" in our history
down TO that time. and that con-
tributed to increase our investment
capital.
Beginning with 1901, the demand
for capital began TO gain on the
supply. Prices consequently de-
clined until they reached the low
point OF SO during the rich Mans
Panic" OF 1903. compared with a
high of 1857 in 1901. The trend
then turned upward until the high
! levels of 1901 were again reached
in 1905.
Then came the Money Panic" of
1907. with temporary prices for
bonds having little relation to their
permanent investment value. This
carried the average down to SIC,
about nine points below the high
of six years ago. BY 1908 most of
the loss had been recovered. and the
figure of 1915 was touched.
After that came a downward drift
70 the fact that the world was spend
ing and devOting TO various enter
prises more capital than it was ac-
cumulating. The year 1914 opened
with a more cheerful sentiment to-
ward bonds. and prices rose from

BLAME INITIATION
FOR HIGH PRICES
Little Decline Evident From
High Figures of Last
Winter.

Economists are laying great en-
phasis upon currency imitation as
The chief cause Of high prices. The
deprecated :alue Of money. taken
in conjunction with increased wages
and incomes. suggests that prices
are not much higher relatively than
before the war. but simply that
more counters are used in ex-
change. The resulting d~islocation
is apparent Lord d'Abernon. a
British economist. advises payment

average prices, has been deter
mined. the amount Of currency 20
rise or fall with the index so that
the rate Of compensation would be
absolute. Further extension OF
credit must be avoided. Prices
would move TO new levels, forcing
readjustment, and a disastrous re-
action would follow. Panics have
not come at the end OF war. but
only when war credit had been di-
verted to peace-time speculation.
Little Decline.
General prices have declined lit
tie since late winter. Rradstreets
index has even revealed a slight ad-
vance I'm Ioodstuffs week by week.
Ascending prices have been dOmi-
nant in all food markets. There
seems 10 be a growing disposition
10 accept the high price level for a
time. Building has increased some
what and retail buying proceeds al
most without regard to prices under
the stern pressure of necessity.
Many thoughtful observers foresee

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Business men are coming to be-
lieve more generally that wages are
the cruX Of the price situation. World
demand, low stocks, and inflated
currency all have their influence, but
so long as high wages prevail, the
cost Of leading manufactured goods
cannot decline. Even union men
recognize that ordinary profits do
not extend a when applied to a
large payroll.
But the growing sentiment, re-
1ected in the declaration Of two
large shoe manufacturers. that
wages must fall. contrasts strangely
with the public avowal OF business
men everywhere that no reduction
must preCede reduction in the cost
OF living. which seems less inclined
than over to recede. and invites Sc
riOus trouble. Attacks, OutspOken OF
thinly yelled, upon the railroad ad-
ministratiOn, and the industrial
board. ignore the labor issue. The
industrial board had for its prime
object a progressive lowering OF
prices in advance OF wages-an alb
normal process which called for a
restrictive measure.
The answer seems TO lie In a con-
tinusnce OF prices at their present
level until there can be readjustment
upon a basis of what is good, not
simply for the employer, but the en-
tire industry and the public itself
Meantime. labor must recognize that
the true secret OF high wages is I'm.
creased production. and capital must
recognize that labor rightfully as.
pires TO a share in the management
of industry. insofar as the workmeu
are affected. and a fair division oil
the profits such as will make greater
effort and efficiency worth while.

around "a, a recovery of about six
points from December 1914.
A practically uninterrupted sharp
decline then started until absolute
low Of 1874 was touched in Septem-
Der 1918. This represents a decline
Of more than % points from the
high prices Of 1901 and 1905, and
about 10 points from the level dur
ing the 1907 panic. Between Sep
tember 27 and November IL, a
period OF about six weeks, prices
rose more than six points. This was
one of the quickest and sharpest ad-
vances ever recorded, and recov-
cred more than one-half of the de-
cline I'm the twelve months ended
December 81, 1916. The advance
was by way of discounting the eff
feet of peace, for the end of the war

worlds greatest waste Of capital
Since then the index has been NOV
ing downward. and is now around

absolute low lsst September, and Il
points below the average i'm the

Viewed in any light them, bonds
are cheap, and this is the time to
buy. Very little can be gained by
waiting, as soon as the Victory ,oan
is out of the way. High war yields
are rapidly disappearing, and bar
gains are being quietly taken up by
shrewd investors. A number Of very
attractive issues are to be had

In the end. Mr.. Noyes said. "Provi-

the committee, through its subccm-
mittee. Mr.. Blair Lee. and the secre-
tary of the trustees. Mr.. Lamar, had
been in communication first with
Grand Commander Richardson and
later with Grand Commander Moore.
Both responded approximately and
sympath etically to the suggestion of
transfer Of the trust under Mr..

Mr.. Lamar, secretary of the board
of trustees. referred to Andrew Car
negie. chairman, Of the trustees. and
of his conviction that the time had
come when Robert Burns. the Scottish
Bard. should have fitting represen-
tation in the Library of Congress,
where he felt the poet had not been
given the distinction he deserved. 1t
was this. he said. that probably
prompted Mr.. Carnegie not to favor
at the outset the erection of new
building and to seem to assent to at
least a partial division Of the coliec-
ton.
He also referred to the fact that
when they were searching high and
low for Mr.. Smiths WILL except the
codici1 which related to the Burnsiana.
In order to ascertain what provision
had been made for the future of Mrs.
Smith. then weak and decrepit, it was
the Scottish Rite archives that fur
nished the valuable treasure and as
sured Mrs. Smith of comfort and COM
petence.
He also referred to the loyalty of
Mr.. Noyes and the other trustees to
Mr.. Smiths wishes concerning the
burnsiana. resulting in their unanl-
nous and enthusiastic approval OF
transfer of the trust to the Scottish
Rite Supreme Council.
