There still remains §100,000 outstand-

wages paid for labor, shall be degrad-
ed; for this effect cannot be visited
upon both at the same time, for the
two scales of the balance never rise
! and fall together, hut always alter-
i nately.
The relation between one quantity
of money, in which values are ex-
pressed, and other forms of property
is about as 1 to 40; that Is, for every
dollar in money there are forty dollars
in other forms of property. Conse-
quently for every dollar given to the
owners of money by increasing Its
purchasing power, forty dollars in fall-
ing prices are taken from the owneis
of other forms of property. Is this a
wise and just policy for a young and
vigorous country, which is already
struggling under an increasing weight
of indebtedness, and whose wealth is
not In its accumulated riches, but In
its productive energies—a policy that
is enriching the drones at the expense
of the workng bees of society? What
causes the fluctuation in the relation
of money to other forms of property,
in other words, in the value of money?
Until this Is understood we can make
no progress in our knowledge of this
subject.
It is not in the character of the sub-
stance or material of which money is
made that its purchasing power resides,
but in the quantity of it in circulation.
As this quantity Is increased, other
things remaining the same, its pur-
chasing power falls; as this quantity
diminishes its purchasing power rises.
A whole page of a daily newspaper
could be filled with extracts from the
writings of eminent economists affirm-
ing the truth of this proposition, and
furthermore, It is attested by the ex-
perience of all the ages. Julius Faulus
said in the third century of our era:
“The power of money resides not so
much in the substance as in the quan-
tity,” and three centuries later this
saying was repeated in the Pandects of
question to the workingmen, which
was as follows:
••Gov, Altgeld does not answer the
question of Carlisle addressed to tho
laboring man, and that is this:
"After struggling for mote than a
quarter of a century through labor or-
ganizations and otherwise to secure a
rate of wages which would make the
proceeds of a day's work equal to tho
cost of a day's subsistence for the
workingman and his family, you aro
asked by the advocates of free coinage
to join them in destroying one-half tho
purchasing power of tho money in
which you are paid and Impose upon
yourselves the task of doubling the
nominal amount of your wages here-
after; that is, to struggle for another
quarter of a century, or perhaps longer,
to raise your wages in a depreciated
currency to a point which will enable
you to purchase with them as much
of tho necessaries of life as you can
purchase now, and if, after years of
contention, privation and industrial
disorder, you should at last succeed in
so adjusting wages that they would se-
cure at the higher price of commodities
just what they will procure now at
the existing prices, what would you
have gained by the change from the
old to the new conditions?”
It does not require a governor to an-
swer the question. Under the present
condition money is so valuable that
the products of labor are rendered al-
most worthless. Under the now condi-
tion—with gold and silver free, coined
into legal tender dollars on a ratio of
lfi to 1 (Carlisle’s England's and the
Money Power’s Depreciated Currency)
—labor would command a living com-
pensation. The volume of money would
be in exact proportion to commercial
requirements, and the hand of greed
would fall from the throat of industry.
Money kings would not crave or cor-
ner the 100-cent dollar as they now do
the 2(10 or 200 cent yellow jacket, dollar.
Business would he stimulated in all Its
branches. The workingmen would
again take up the burden of life, and
with joy and gladness hear on their
broad shoulders this great government
to a grandeur and supremacy unparal-
leled in the history of nations.—Old-
Time Workingman.

This Is a statement of fact concern-
ing a downward movement of prices
which has been in operation, with few
interruptions, for a long series of years.
Whether all prices he high or low may
be a matter of indifference; but it is of
first importance that, high or low, they
should either have stability or a small
upward movement. A failing market
must have a deadly influence upon
business. Tho inevitable consequence
of continuous decliue is to check enter-
prise, to discourage Investment, to im-
pel buyers to supply only pressing
wants, and to enlarge the fixed charges
of all producers. No more important
obligation is Imposed upon the press
and upon our public men than to dis-
cover what is the cause of this as-
tonishing, unprecedented and des-
tructive shrinkage of values, and then,
with a bold hand, to apply the remedy.
The theory of overproduction will not
meet the requirements of the case.
It is merely absurd to insist that all
the necessaries of life are produced in
excess quantities; and particularly is
this theory insufficient in presence of
the clearly perceptible fact that multi-
tudes of idle and half idle men cannot
supply their wants. There is one
cause which never fails to drive down
prices, and, as that cause at this mo-
ment is discoverable in the practice of
the government, why should any other
be looked for? It is the contraction of
the volume of the currency needed by
the people for the business of exchang-
ing Hi, products of their industry.

Experience tells us that to do this we
must resort to "nature's treasury,” and
mal»e our gold and silver mines our
banks of issue. If we use gold and
silver as our primary money upon
which all credit rests its quantity will
be increased and the value of the unit
or dollar will fall and prices will rise.
If we use gold alone as primary money
the volume of it will be diminished,
the purchasing power of tho unit or
dollar will be increased and the prices
of other forms of property, including
wages paid for labor, will fall.
