At the instance of the

NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-Stabiliza'
ton OF the American dollar, in rela-
ton to the principal commodities for
which It is exchangeable appears per-
haps nearer realization than many
economists admit.
The problem in America, Great
Britain and other European countries
which have remained on the gold
basis has been much simpler than In
Austria, Germany, Russia and
Poland, where the currency has been
so thoroughly diluted with the ennis
sions Of the printing presses. The
world has thoroughly learned the
lesson that multiplies of nothing
equal nothing, and that stamping q
fictitious value on worthless paper
does not create real values.
The American dollar at 40 per
cent of it's pre-war purchasing
standard was not an edifyina
spectacle, either to the man who
sought to purchase the necessities
Of life, or to the merchant and
manufacturer who sold or produced
them. It meant similar increase In
the cost of doing business, and threw
out OF gear the delicate mocha nism

of existing business had beer
founded.
Sterilization of the dollar does not
however, necessarily imply return
to the price level prevailing before
the war. Some commodities have
declined to below their pre-war levels
and will probably never regain
them. Others are pinioned at quite
a distance above that level, and re-
sist all efforts to dislodge them.
Sterilization is more concerned
with the future than with the past
Most people would be satisfied with
the present scale Of wages and
prices were they assured that II
would be retained for a reasonable
period. The hand-to-moutll policy in
business is nothing more than the
desire to wait for more favorable
| prices in the future, whether or rOt
1t Is ever realized.
Stability in prices puts premium
on efficiency in producing, trans
porting and distributing merchandise
1t minimizes the unearned profits
and the undeserved losses which
arise from shrewd and lucky trades

The business man and the manu-

Paul Railway.
Written for Cosmopolitan News Service.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-I understand
President Coolidge's suggestion that
coal and grain freight rates be
reduced applies only to exports Of
those commodities. 1t would not
be possible for prosperous roads to
reduce. as all freight rates neces-
sarily must be on the same basis.
do not think a lower scale of
rates on wheat particularly would
have any effect on the volume Of
traffic, certainly not enough to Off
net the decrease in earning which
would be necessary. Beyond this
our experience indicates there is no
certainty that reduction of export
grain rate would benefit the farmer
because the world market price
would Immediately adjust itself to
who had grain on hand or had
bought it for future delivery might
benefit by lower transportation cost.
The export rate from Minneapolis
to the seaboard on wheat is nov
II $40 cents per bushel. A redue-
ton of, say, 90 per cent would mean
about Az cents per bushel, an
amount which would be quickly alb
sorbed by the market fluctuations
from day to day or week to week
and leave the farmer no better off
than before, but would impose a
loss in revenue upon the grain-car-
rying roads which they cannot afford
under existing conditions.
The certainty in the transaction
would be that the railroads would
lose the amount of the reduction
with no certainty that the benefit
would ever get to the farmer.
