THE TURNING POINT

The victory of the Democratic party thllout the na on may be said to mark the turning point m the cfsls which has lowered the world for two bitter years
 The great cosmopolitan class of America has serVeo notice that there are limitations to which an ongaIcy wealth may go before receiving check Havmg serVeu this warning this influence must pertolce nave slsal effect upon other nations just now Wrestng Wlu .e same problems with which this nation has been at grpS'
 The decision in the United States is something more than noca victory It is the verdict with respect to two clea1-clt and understandable economc postuates
 The position by those who wrecked the Republcan party was the which confronted Iheooore koose ve and against which he fought This poslton almost identical with tnat of royaty that nations could sur ivo and prosper only when the agencies Of production and finance were in the hands of chosen few who by the very fact of their entrenched posluoI helc the 1 u dictate the weal or woe of the general publc
 When this same condition faced the people in l9O6 they were too tnd to risk assault for fear of their daily bread The years may be passed over as extra mary influences having little to do with our economic affairs in that they offered vast opportunities WHICH became contagious and corrupted the people.
 It was this corruption which the postwar profiteers capitalized until they fad taken from the pope all they possessed in and which finally fIuctfied in lack of employment and opportunity to win their daily bread
 It required courage for this political expression in nation wherein 25O0OOO0 souls either penniless forced to deness by the collapse of vicious system of organizing paper protits immense combinations of in dustry and capital which had unloaded their watered stocks and debentures upon the pubc taking therefor their money
 It is singular fact that the general dissatisfaction with the present order of things pereates the world To the eternal glory of America the method taken for so on that which had been provided by the architects of the natior-the ballot.
 One may not look for legislation seeking reprisals upon those who responsible for collapse of business banks and industry Rather it will come by gradual prn ing of the statutes under which such things have been permitted and safeguarding against repetition-unti the people forget the lesson just offered in the present de- presson and allow their affairs again gravitate to the hands of mercenares.

New rolling stock construction at
this time is in extremely small amount,
and even this total is being confined
largely to railroad shops. Purchases OF

Commodity Price
Changes of Week
BY HI. N. McGILL,
Editor. McGin Commodity Service. Inc.

Editor, McGin Commodity Service. Inc.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, October Is
Commodity prices during the past week
recorded another decline, although the
reaction was limited in scope. An in
spection of price changes In IA ind1-
vidual groups shows that z declined,
advanced and remained unchanged.
All commodities now stand 8 per cent
above the extreme low point in June,
taking into consideration the decline Of
the past two weeks. Weakness last week
was primarily due to lower quotations
for live stock and agricultural products.
Moderate declines were noted In non
ferrous metals, textiles. both fine and
coarse, and vegetable oils.
Industrial List.
Industrial commodities also declined.
although the movement was fractional.
improvement in industrial activity has
been limited to the lighter industries.
This Is illustrated by noting that the
activity In iron and steel has improved.
but the volume Is still less than 20 per
cent Of capacity. In regard to the re-
lationship Of industrial commodities to
the business cycle. it is a common idea
that the era Of depression must cover
an equal period offsetting the time
area consumed during the preceding
area of activity. The records show that
during the past 102 years business con-
ditions have held above average for 81
years and months. The period below
averaged consumed A years and Z
months. This means that the length
of time during periods OF activity above
normal averaged 3 years and months.
while the length Of time below normal
averaged years and months.
Agricultural prices recorded a greater
proportionate decline than any other
group. This was due to new lows FOR
this century in such grains as corn and
oats The total volume of agricultural
products this year is larger than in
1881.
Live stock quotations were also lower,
which is not attributable to any increase
in market receipts or slaughtering, but
rather is due to limited consumption
and the upward swing of the produc-
ton cycle.
Textiles lost considerable ground, due
to the break in spot cotton prices close
to the Scent level.
Non-ferrous metals were fractionally
lower, and this was also true Of vege-
table. oils. The four groups which re-
manned unchanged during the past week
were paper and pulp, iron and steel
fuels and chemicals. The three groups
| which advanced were building ma
| terials, caused by higher brick quota
| tions at New York. fractional increase
| in hides and leather and minor up
| turn in the index for paint materials

IN view of the success Of the latest
United States Treasury loan there is an
increasing belief that the Government
could retire its issue of first Liberty
4l4s, amounting to S532, 2,491 $50 and
callable any time after June Is, 1882.
With money market conditions as they
are today it is reasonable to expect that
this loan might be refunded at saving
of at least per cent per annum.

NJ. & NJ. Schools To Rum Full Term
i, The board of education decided
definitely, in a meeting last week,
to extend both the grades and high
school two weeks by accepting the
department of education's proposi-
tion to pay all expenses connected
with the high school, such as sal
aries, operating expenses, and trans
portation. The teachers and iani.
tors together with all of the, bus
drivers that the school officials
have been able to see to date, have
signed an agreement to give the re-
mainder of the nine months Of SER
vice gratis, in order that the chill
dren may haYe the benefit of the
full nine months of school as in
previous years, and so that the
standards of the school may not in
any way be impaired
The board OF education extends
thanks to teachers, janitors and bus
drivers for the splendid coopera-
ton and sacrifice they are making,
to give us the full term Of school.
We also feel that the patrons of the
district will appreciate the fine
spirit all have shown. BY having
the full nine months OF school, the
teachers and pupils will have suffi-
cient time to cover the years work
in a creditable manner. Time will
be found to cover not only the reg
ular school work that is assigned to
all teachers and pupils, but some
time can be given to each of the
following tests that are scheduled
for the future
State general scholarship for high
school seniors, March 10; State ag-
riculture test for high school SEN
ior boys, March 10; State every pu-
