Under conditions of bai ter, cliauges
in the rate at which one thing ex-
changes for another, may affect in
somo degree the distribution of wealth,
but it is not until money comes onto
one side of the scale that extended or
serious consequences follow changes
in the ratio of exchange. But when
things come to be exchanged for mon-
ey, even under conditions where no
debts or other obligations exist calling
for specific sums of money, variations
in price levels necessarily change the
relation of those who own money and
want goods and those who own goods
and want money, and materially af-
fect the distribution of wealth. Indeed
such changes not only affect the dis-
tribution of wealth but they affect the
production of wealth; for it has been
abundantly shown historically and
otherwise that rising prices stimulate
and increase production while falling
prices discourage uud retard produc-
tion. But limiting our inquiry to the
distribution of wealth, is lias been his-
torically proven that times of plenti-
fulness of money and rising prices
have always been periods when wealth
has been most widely distributed, and
naturally so, since producers of wealth
under such condition, retain more of
what they produce, or obtain more
money for what they part with.
It is, however, under conditions
where continuing debts and taxes call
for a tpccific number of units of mon-
ey regardless of what it takes to pro-
cure them, that distribution of wealth
is most affected. It is plain that it is
only necessary to make such obliga-
tions to pay money large enough, and
prices low enough, to take everything
from the producer but a bare living;
less, of course, cannot be left him, if
he is to continue to be a producer.
Individual cases of this kind are con-
stantly occurring, and what is true of
individuals in this respect may become
true of nations. Indeed, examples ex-
ist of nations now in this condition.
The foreigu debt of Egypt, together
with the cost of her home government,
takes annually all the valley of the
Nile can produce, saving but a bare
living for her producing population.
Iudia and other countries with large
foreign debts, if they have not already
fallen into the condition of Egypt, are
dangerously near the liue, and that,
in fact, has been t'.ie condition of In-
dia for centuries. But even where
debts are not owed to other countries,
the very existence of debts and taxes
as fixed charges upon annual products,
exercises a tremendous influence, even
under the most stable condition of
prices, upon the distribution of wealth.
The extent of this influence, however,
is intensified to an incalculable degree
by changes in price levels. It is only
necessary, under such conditions, to
sufficiently lower the price level to
force the transfer of everything to the
hands of those who own the debts and
are the recipients of taxes. On the
other hand, a rise of price- leaves more
and more in the hands of those who
produce the wealth, and less and less
to those having fixed incomes, incomes (
expressed in money. Hence, it is only |
necessary, under modern conditions in I
most countries, to continually increase
the value of money, or, which is the
same thing, continue to lower prices,
to transfer in a short time all wealth
to few hands. On the other hand, it is
only necessary to sufficiently raise
price levels, which is the same thing as
to lower the value of money, to leave
more and more of the wealth produced
in the hands of the producers, or to
transfer wealth from the few to the
many.
Altogether, the most potent agency
in concentrating wealth in few hands
during the last twenty-five years has
been tho appreciating dollar and this
has only to be continued long enough
to transfer practically all wealth to
fewer and fewer hands. Such is the
power of money. The fact hardly
needs pointing to that conditions of
highest equity would be those under
which there was the least variation in
the relation of money to other things
and to debts to be paid. On the other
hand, it would be impossible to devise
an agency so all-pervading and all-
powerful to work injustice as an in-
creasing money scale, and hence the
thing now must incumbent upon the
nations is to put an end to the appre-
ciation of money and the fall of prices.

Trosperlty In Wall Street.
In the last six months fortunes ag-
gregating §613,693,501 have been made
in Wall street. The total increase in
valuations of all the stocks and bonds
listed on tho stock exchange aggregate
that enormous sum.
It represents in money nearly three
times that of all the go d dug out of
the earth for a year. The total gold
output of all the gold producing coun-
tries in the world for 1897 was $237,-
504,800. The increase in value of only
a small group—twenty-three in num-
ber—of the most active stocks alone
was wall on toward double this
amount
The history of Wall street, of the
world in fact, has nothing to equal
this prodigious piling up of furtunes.
The El Dorado days of California in
'49, the rioting in wealth which fol-
lowed the opening up of the Austra-
lian and African gold fields, the Klon-
dike, the South African diamond
mines—all of these rolled into one have
nothing to parallel the deluge of
wealth which poured down upon that
one little corner of New York known
the "Wall street region."
And it is not merely the Croesuses
who have profited. Dozens and dozens
of "little fellows" have darted into the
tumultuous torrent of speculation and
darted out again, hugging to their
breasts fortunes ranging from tens to j
hundreds of thousands. The bigger
plungers brought up millions. The
Croesuses the Rockfellers, the Vander-
bilts, the Sages, have landed millions
that are counted up auywhero from
tho tens to the thirties.

Hundreds of the men who helped to

Hundreds of young men whose par-

iuto civilization, are today without a

Our marvelous inventions have been

daily miracles of our machinery, the

I Every recent change in legislation
has been to protect property and to

1 dealer, the pirate, the publican, the
scribe, the armor-bearer or the cour-

The NnturalUt.
The naturalist's wife had gone out
for a few minutes and left the baby in
charge of her absent-minded husband,
says Brooklyn Life. When she re-
turned she was not a little disturbed
to discover the baby crying dismally,
and its father with a collection of his
largest bottles of alcohol before him,
evidently at his wits' end. "Why,
David, David!" cried the good woman,
snatching up the child, "what is tho
matter?" "Well, my dear," responded
the great naturalist, simply, still gaz-
ing at the baby, "it's very strange, but
I can't find a bottle large enough to
hold him anywhere."

A volunteer, who was a great man
in his own eyes, was by some in-

hardly speak of anything but his new
dignity. Meeting a friend one day, he
accosted him thus: "Well, Jim. I
suppose you know I have been ap-
pointed captain?" "Yes," said Jim, "I
heard so." "Well, what do your folks
say about it?" asked the captain.
"They don't say nothin'," replied
truthful James; "they Just laugh."

The following report comes from
perry: The hair of John Carpenter, a
veteran of the civil war, aged 65 years,
began turning gray 30 years ago and for
the past 20 years it has been as white
na cotton. A few nights ago Carpen-
ter was awakened from sleep by the
dampness of his head. He got out of
bed and with a towel dried his scalp
and hair, which were as wet as if he
had dipped his head in water. When
he got up next morning the members
pf his family didn't know him. When
}ie went near his daughter, who was
dressing in another room, she scream-
ed and ran to her room. Other mem-
bers of the family asked Carpenter
what he was doing in the house. His
voice was recognized and lie was led to
a mirror. Then he didn't know him-
elf. His hair was as black as it was
when he enlisted with General Sher-
man in the army. Inasmuch as Mr.
Parpen ter has recently become enthu-

believe the change was brought about
as a reward to Carpenter for his loyal
devotion to Christianity.
