Monetary Factors ih High Prices.

The truth is that the chief causes
of the rise of prices in war time are
monetary.
Il is almost invariably true that
the great price movements of history
are chiefly monetary. This is shown,
in the first place, by the fact that
countries of like monetary standards
have like price movements. Thus
to consider gold standard countries
there has usually been a remarkable
family resemblance between the
curves representing the rise and fall
Of the index numbers Of the United
States Canada, England, France,
Belgium, Holland. S:candinavia. Ger
many. Austria and Italy. Again, the
price movements in silver countries
show strong likeness, as in India
and China between 1878 and 1898.
On the other hand, we find great
contrast between gold and silver
countries or between any countries
which have different monetary stand
ards.
In the present war the data are
still too mcager to enable US to eX-
press all the relations in, exact figures
but we may arrange the different
countries in the approximate order
in which Their: prices have risen. The

NEGRO LYNCHED
Unknown Men Break Into Jail

Jacksonville. Fla, Sept. 8.-Un-

took therefrom two negroes held for
the murder recently of George Du-
Bose, carried them in automobiles
out into the outskirts of the city. RID
died them with bullets put ropes
around their necks and dragged them
through the city streets dropping one
of the bodies in front of one OF the
leading hotels.
.Sheriff's deputies and police are now
out hunting for the other body. The
sheriff heard early in the night that
there might be an attempt to lynch a
a negro held in jail on the charge or
assauIting a little white girl, so, on
advice of Judge Simmons he put THIS
negro in an automobile and sent nm
to ST. Augustine for safe keeping. Ar
irving at the jail and not finding this
negro, the mob took the other two
and put them to death.
1t is estimated that there were
only about so men in the crowd that
gained entrance to the county jail.
