FEB. 9, 1888. speech preseuted some figures in reply ‘tors that.gold has appreciated and put ‘them in a way which will interest the ee TRLSPHOMNE No. 4. A_ QUESTION OF WAGES. Secretary Gage in -his Philadelph’a to the constant assertion of silver oraaverage citizen ahd especially tbe average laboring man. .He spoke of various argametits which had been advanced against our monetary standard, the favorite one being the asse:tion that “falling prices must be at the cost of labor, since land and capital will not engage in productivity except upon the terms they themselves dictate,” and that, “gold having a;preciated in value, prices of commod-}* ities have fallen, and because of the exacting power of land and capital the evil effect has been felt by wages in the form of a diminished share” “Now,” said Secretary Gage, “if this statement were true it would of necessity be evi@enced by. the actual fall in wage pices. This brings the question to tne test of fact. It has been asserted upon authority and I believe it to be upproximately true, that within the period 1872—"91 prices have fallen un average of 2744 per cent. I am ut liberty, therefore, to adopt the same authority as tothe course of wages. It apears from the exhaustive figures of the Commissioner of Labor, the anthcrity cited, that within the period 187.— *J1 wages have ivcreased an average of 10 per cent. Taking the greater power of wages to command things by reason of their lower price, the economic acvantage guined by labor is still furth:r enphasized. In 1872, $100 in gold ‘would bay a certain amount of living; ia 1891, prices having fallen, $1(0 would buy 2714 per cent. more than it did in 1872; and wages baving increased 1) per cent in the meantime, the san e work which was paid $100 in 1872 réc-:ived $110 in 1891. From the double udvantage of decreased prices and i:creased wages, it follows that in 1€91 the same labor would purchase 51 7-10 per cent. more of living than it did in 1872. Let usapply these advaptagss by example. In 1891, the labor that supported 15 people supported 10 in 1892. In 1891, from the same labor as in 1872,a man living upon the same scale would have over one-third of his wages to put in bank or better provide . for his family. I am further borne out in this demonstration by the statistics of savings banks covering the period noder. consideration. Since 1871 tke number of depositors in such institutions has increased from ,less than two millions to more than five millions, ad the average per capita saving in the United States has increased 86 per cent.” : A BELIEVER IN THE DANCE. A St. Louis clergyman, says the News Letter, invites his congregation todance. He is right. . Damnation by dancing is the dogma .of the clumsy. A wingless angel has to fly. There is no more sin in moving to lively sounds than there is in keeping step to a funeral march. The anti-dancer is jealous. He is ignored -by society. He would beas much out of place in a bali room as Mr. Greenway would be ina treadmill. As to the immorality of dancing, there are two-legged animals who imagnations cannot rise above a dung hill. The ballroom has, to say the least, as fragrant. a reputation as the camp meeting. Society is the perfume of. civilization. Why should music, rythm and grace be debasing ? Sam Jones says “Dancing is hugging set to music.” Sam Jones is a theological buzzard. He knows 10 more of refined society than an organ grinder knows of sheet music. above his reach. Awkwarduess ‘hates grace ; the uninvited, the invited. A lovely girl swaying in unison with delicious music, is just as elevating as.an old woman turning somersaults and yelling “glory hallelujab.” To Cure » Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinins Tablets He writes a wlowitg¢ poe: and asserts! .
