PROSPERITY
Depends on Wages; Con,
tends Nations Largest
Bank

The contention of the American
Federation of Labor and their eco
nomic experts is, that there can be
no overproduction if the purchasing
power of the masses is sufficient to
buy the products of industry. There
fore, all plans for increasing produc-
tion must necessarily contemplate a
corresponding increase in consump-
ton, and the only way that consump-
toin can be obtained is through a
constant increase in the buying power
(wages) of the people.
The National City Bank of New
York, in it's November issue, Eco
nomic Conditions" says: Broadly
speaking everything produced in all
the industries must be sold back to
the people engaged in the industries,
for there is no other way of disposing
c. the output
Question may be raised as to the
r lative distribution between proprie-
t RS and employees, but the proprietors
are not running their works on the
t cory that they are selling their
oducts to each other. They are all
irving for the broadcast possible
L arket, and that can be had only
trough the purchasing power of the
r asses"
Therefore, there can be no con-
toversy over the proposition that
r, al wages-the purchasing power of
ages-must increase in proportion to
ans increasing power of production.
1t is the basic principle of the exist
ing order of society. 1t is in line
with all experience"
The business world is realizing at
last that prosperous conditions cannot
obtain unless the workers are paid
real wages-wages that leave sur
plus over bare living expenses.
The introduction of machinery has
made it possible to pay high real
wages and yet reduce the price of
products to the consumer We might
cite that the introduction of the limo
type and other machines into the
printing industry did not reduce either
the wages or the number of workers
in the trade, but it did cheaper print
ing and increased the circulation of
newspapers, books and magazines.
The invention of the automobile al
most entirely destroyed the carriage
industry, but the workers in that in
dustry found ready and steadier en-
ployment at better wages in the man
ufacture of automobiles, while the
prices of automobiles steadily cheap
ened and wages of workers as steadily
advanced.
The production per man of the
American workers, is higher than any
country in the world, and the wages
in this country are higher than in any
country in the world.
By concentrating the attention OF
both management and worker or
elimination of waste in industry, pro
duction can be increased, but it will
be impossible to distribute this in
creased production if the buying
power of the masses is not increased
proportionately.
Only by making production what il
ought to be and by making the work
ers able to buy the product can pros
perity be maintained.

nlarries a Viennese Lieutenant who
is quickly fed UP on the customs and
conventions Of his high born wife.
In search of happiness the young
lieutenant meets and falls in love
with the girl leader of a Viennese
orchestra. Then the princess de-
cides TO learn the life of her hus-
bands people and as a teacher she
chooses the girl that her husband has
fallen in love with.
This is the point where the picture

AN ECHO FROM '96

Bryan is dead and stagnant water reflects the
moon in more than mine shaft in the West.
But some veteran sver-haired silver miners still
believe the value of their should be fixed by law

The highly interesting thing is that this tena-
cous theory is not nearly so decayed as it sounds
There is pending in Congress right now meas
ure which, to some extent, proposes just what the
great Commoner protested when he ATTEMPTED in
1896 to seize the presidency shouting Sixteen to
One"
Silver is selling today the open market for
about 81 cents ounce. This measure, introduced
by Senator Pttman of Nevada would compel the
United States Treasury purchase 1885, 900 ounces
Z of silver at 81 an ounce.
Silver is selling compared with gold, at about
33 to 1. The treasury would be forced to pay about
20 to L. And the bill already has passed the Senate
This "twenty-to-one" silver theory started in
1918 when Congress passed an earlier Pittman bill
ordering the treasury to purchase 20OO00OO0
at 81 per.
The treasury under this BILL has already paid
the silver mines bonus above market prices of
S5S,169,O00 according to Gerard B. Winston under
secretary
Only twice in the last fifteen years has silver
been worth 81 or more ounce on the open market
In 1918 the price reached $112 and in 1919, s102

1t happens that William B. Wilson is first

be with only one idea--that of serving the whole

Norris example might well be followed by other

Then at the session of the following Congress when

They will be the executive perhaps, in this age

But If that be all that they GAIN the difference

They should bring out from those college halls
