A while ago l published a little

heard an acute disagreement between
the supporters Of the rival candidates.
and this was between q husband and
wife. 1t seemed based upon funda-
mental difference Of opinion on that
most innocuous and uncxciting fluid

AS a rule the discussions were most
amicable, and usually finished up. aft-
er the method of Lincoln, in a Joke or

every variety Of religious dogma ::
these are almost as numerous in the
United States as are patent medicines.
They quietly endure and ignore the

enormous distances one has to tray.
erse In the states. one spends a con-
siderable part Of ones time on the

framed n law that from that day on
no meat should ever be eaten on the
island. Recently several members of
the American Red Cross stationed at
the Russian refugee camp ut Yiborg,
made journey to the island and were
entertained at lunch in the monas-
terry built to replace the one destroyed
In 1854. The old law Is still observed
by the $50 monks now living there.
From the day they arrive on the
island to the day they leave or die
no meat is eaten by them. Husky,

Fruit Of Loon, Cut
To l6c. Wholesale

The insistcnt cry Of jobbers and re-
tailers that the prices of bleached
goods be further reduced is an
swered to-day by cut Of cent and
half yard in Fruit Of the Loom"
muslin by Converse & Co. The new
price Of 16 cents q yard on the
standard width is expected to set
the pace for other sellers.
At the peak Of last year Fruit Of
the Loom sold at 45 cents in second
hands. On November 90 new price
OF 20 cents was named, followed by a
reduction to II cents on January /.
Two weeks later the price was ad-
vanced to TN cents, following the
rush of business that materialized
right after the opening Of the new
year.
1t is known throughout the cotton
goods market that bleached goods
have been moving for some time
only under the impetus of "memo-
randum" orders. In such orders the
price was to have been determined
later and most buyers felt that
reduction was coming.

Wages Of Workers
Key to Depression,
Says National City
Decreased Purchasing Power
Held To Be Important
Factor in Readjust-
ment; Railroad Problem

The depression existing to-day II
due to the unbalanced state Of indus
try as regards the compensation re-
ceived by important bodies Of people,
the National City Bank of New York
points out in it's May bulletin on eco
nomic conditions in the United States,
and either farm products and raw ma
terials must rise to the level Of manu-
features and the common basis Of
wages, or the latter must come down
to the level Of the farmer, or they
The fundamental requisite, it is held,
is that they get together.
"A great portion of the population
has suddenly lost large part of its
purchasing power" says the bank,
land no longer is able to buy the prod
ucts of the other industries as it has
been accustomed to do. The people in
the other industries, employers and
employees alike, seem to have no def
mite idea about what has happened to
them, but are sitting around, trying
to cheer each other up, and watching
the skies for better weather. There
change relations, either between coun-
tries, or between industries within this
country, in all the past. That disloca-
ton must be corrected before trade
can be restored to normal proportions
The next thing is to stop talking in
terms of money only, when compensa-
ton is concerned. The labor leaders
knew better than that when the cost Of
living was rising; why not recognize
that the purchasing power Of money is
OF as much Importance when it is ris-
ing as when it is falling? And why
not recognize that the wages paid in
every industry are factor in the cost
OF living OF all the wage-earners 2"
situation emphasizes the need of pre-
serving railroad credit if the, trans
rortation lines are to meet the grow
ing needs of the country.
THE talk to the effect that the
Esch- Cummins act is failure is un-
warranted. It has laid down sound
general principle of rate-making for
the guidance of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, viz, that charges
should be so adjusted as to produce
a fair return upon the actual value Of
the aggregate property employed in
the transportation service, and named
5h per cent for the first two years.
1t is true that owing to the high cost
OF operations together with the gen.
eral reaction in business. the new
rates have not produced the return
contemplated; and it is also true that
some of the rates adopted have had
the effect Of diminishing traffic. But
that does not prove that the principle
