is Just eight bushels of coal short of
his allowance, compared with normal
times and prices, IL things were nor
NAL in the year 1914. The illustra-
ton does. as a matetr of fact, en-
brace the two most radical extremes,
but 1t serves to illustrate the inequa-
lities spoken of, and referred to,
above. Farmers must be able to and
refuse to sell their products, stop
buying, or suffer great financial loss,
no class has been hit as hard as the
agriculturalist in price slumping.
Many of his products, II sold now,
would not pay for production. To-
day looks gloomy, but tomorrow is
another day and his inning may be
then, or the next. General prices like
water, must be near a broad level,
and aside from various locks and
dams, that otherwise retard, we may
look for the general level within the
next few months.

The inevitable reduction in wages
has been ushered in, in a considera-
BILE number of places throughout the
country. Organized Laborers to the
number of 10000 in Chicago have ac-
cepted a cut in wages and gone on
about their work. Another reduction
said to approximate 221a %, affect
ing more than 10000 textile workers
has been announced by Massachusetts,
Mill Operators, effective the goth.
Reason should always predominate in
wage cutting, Employers of labor
should see to it, that reductions are
in keeping with the downward trend
of the value of the product market
ed as compared with the general
scope of prices and the purchasing
power of the wage paid, not faster.
There is also another side to the ques-
tion, that is, the willing acceptance of
the wage Garner. whether organized
OF otherwise, of conditions as now
existing and as being brought about.
There are. some classes who receive
a wage out of all proportion to the
general average, and those of ne
cessity must be adjusted to fast ap-
preaching conditions, or else the
whole wage structure is to be out Of
joint and glaring inequalities exist.
Barring one or two products, which
are not produced to any extent, in

FRIDAY. Y.......,.DECEMBER II

No one can but deplore conditions
as existing in Ireland. Rioting, blood
shed and conflagration seem to be
rampant and loose in Erin. And the
situation appears to be growing
worse day by day. One has a right
to express sympathy and opinions too,
but when efforts to aid appear to be
organized by citizens of this country,
in behalf of the Irish, it strikes us
that we approach very nearly to dan
gerous territory. Some of these fine
days Great Britain is, with tolerably
good show of right, going to ask and
insist that the United States Govern
ment put a stop to it in this country.
England perhaps realizes that she
procrastinated too long in giving the
Irish fairly generous hand in home
rule and local self-goyerhment, but
be that as it may, she is in a position
where she can't let go, the only thing
she can do is to attempt to tighten
her grip. The position of the British
Government is pretty much the same
as was that of the United States at
one time in the Philippines, and, we
very much doubt if our Government
would have stood for as much inter-
ference and meddling from subjects
of Great Britain as she has borne and
is bearing from our citizens. We sin
cerely believe that if outsiders were
to withdraw altogether, and leave
ireland and Downing Street alone,
their troubles might be the easier
composed and peace once more reign
where the carnival of blood, turmoil
and destruction appears to be SUI
preme. Besides at no distant date
present tactics as employed by our
citizens, may again embroil the U. S.
A, and John Bull in something very
much worse than the Irish trouble.
It's all right to love, and love strong.
