FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1899.

WAGES AND PRICES TWENTY ODD YEARS AGO AND NO W. Chicago Times-Herald: It appears that the Atlanta Constitution is not prepared to stand with tb? Savannah NeW9 in questioning whether silver as the "paramount" issue would be good politics for the Democratic party in 1600. It now says that the national PemPQratic Qpnvention in 1900 will reIterate the Chicago platform of 1806 "word for word" and renominate William J. Bryan for President. That there may be no mistaking its attitude pn the subject it says: ^'Sihoulcl Mr. Bryan live he will be the nominee of the convention. In any event, the platform of 1896 will be reiterated without the change of vfiiTCL tt & syllable."

The Constitution also takes issue with the statement that "bad times" are necesBary to the cauBe of silver. But it argues that "hard times show the necessity of free coinage without argument"—as they did in (^1890, we might remark.

This leads the Constitution up to the statement that— At present times are good when compared with the decline of valueB in 1893. But how do values, wages and priceB compare with those in vogue twenty odd years ago?

This is one of those questions which the persistent pessimist delights to put, where he is from beyond the range of rapid-fire facts. For tho benefit of the constitution, if not its readers, we would say that wages have gone up and prices have gone down since twenty-odd years ago, as the following tables show:

Average dally wages in twelve American cities in 1870 and 1898.* 1870. 1898. Blacksmiths. $2 43 $2.43 Blacksmiths'helpers 1.40 1.62 Boiler makers 2.35 2.56 Boilermakers' helpers 1.41 1.53 Bricklayers

•Prom the Massachusetts Labor Uullct in (or January, 1899.

Interviews printed in the TimesHerald yesterday show that there has been an increase of from

wageB

per

30,000

employes

of twelve manufacturing concerns in Chicago within the past six months. All of which goes to emphasize the fact that wages are very much higher than "those in vogue twenty-odd years ago."

Now let us consider the prices paid by wage-earners for those articles that come under the "cost of living." These have gone down while wages have gone up, as iB clearly demonstrated in the following table, taken from the twenty eighth annual report of the bureau of statistics of labor:

Average retail prices 1872 and 1897: GROCERIES. 1872. 1897. Flour (wheat), barrel 412.75 |5.80 Flour (rye), pound 03!i .03 1-6 Cornmeal, pound 01?i .03 Codfish, pound 08h£ ,07 3-10 Rice, pound HJ4 .07 6-7 Beans, quart .09Mi .07 Tea (Oolong), pound .69 .46 2-5 Coffee (roasted), pound.... .42^4 .28 8ugar(good, brown) pound .10J4 .04 7-9 Sugar (granulated), pound .12 .062a Molasses, gallon 70 .50 Syrup, gallon 75 .52 6-7 Soap, pound 08 .04)4 Starch, pound .1~!4 .07 1-5

PROVISIONS.

Beef (roasting), pound 19 .14% Beef (corned), pound 10^4 .09 3-7 Veal, pound 10V4 .08 Mutton, pound 10(4 .07 1-7 Mutton (chops), pound 15M .20 Pork (fresh), pound 12H .10 Pork (salted), pound 11 .09 2-9 Hams (smoked), pound.... .13^ .13M Sausages, pound .12H .10 7-9 Lard, pound .14^ .08 Butter, pound .89hi .24V£ Cheese, pound '17& .14 Potatoes, bushel 102 1.01H Milk, quart 08 .05 2-8 "Eggs, dozen 30 .23^4

It will be perceived that there has been a decline in the price of all of these commodities except cornmeal and mutton chops. The same authority showB lower prices for fuel, dry goods, boots, rents and board. It is therefore apparent that in the matter of wages and cost of living the American workingman has the best of the situation coming and going.

In the purchasing power of money,

which, after all, is the final test of whether wages have gone up or down, when compared with the cost of living, the same authority furnishes the following information:

What $1 would buy in

1872. 1897.

Flour (wheat) .18.18 lbs 80.30 lbs Rice 8.93 lbs 12.82 lbs Beans 10.62 qts 14.29 qts Tea 1.45 lbs 2.10 lbs Coffee (roasted) 2.35 lbs 3.67 lbs Sugar (good b'n)_ 9.80 lbs 21.28 lbs Soap (common) 12,50 lbs 23.81 lbs Beef (roasting) 5.20 lbs 6.85 lbs Rent (4-room apt) 2.03 days 3.53 days Board (men) 1.24 days 1 62 days Board (women) 1.87 days 1.92 days

All of these comparisons are made on the gold standard. They prove conclusively that when the wages and prices in "vogue twenty-odd years ago" are compared with those prevailing in 1898, the condition of the wage earner the latter year was

per cent,

better than twenty-odd years ago. As wages in all occupations are rising and retail prices of commodities are falling the situation is much better for the wage earner in 1899 than it wji^ a year ago"

The remark of the Savannah News that "conditions are not so favorable for silver at this time as they were during the lasts presidential campaign," admits 9f no question, Thftt is why Democratic leaders are casting about for some substitute for the so-called Ohicago platform. 1

A CLOSE race iB that in gold production in the United States, Australia and South Africa. Last year the United States lost th$ first place, but may' he expected to regain it. TbP for 1898 were: South Africa, $S6,000,J 000 Australia, 867,792,000, and the United StateB, $05,782,667. Australia, like this country, is getting more gold from low grade ores and gold is also obtained by dredging machinery from the ooze at the bottom of streams. Australian gold coins originally had a greenish tint, but the silver that caused it is now extracted by a chemical process.

THE latest complaint of many silverites is that just as they got into position and condition for assuming the role of money-sharks the gold-bug plutocrats ruined the country some more by putting the interest rate so low that the poor 10 to 1 capitalists cannot make a living in that line of business.

STATE SMALLPOX RECORD.

Only One JJeath Oat of 178 Case! Since Lait January.

•According to the records of the Btate board of health there have been 178 cases of smallpox in Indiana since'Jan. 3, when the first case was reported. These cases were distributed through Hancock, Jefferson, Clark, Floyd, Greene, Jennings, Marion, Sullivan, Vanderburg, Vermillion, Union, Tipton, Cass and Ripley counties. In spite of the great number of cases and the great area covered by them, only one death was recorded as due to smallpox, and that was an infant at Evan6ville. The original case was brought into the state from Cincinnati. In Evansville, where the number of those affected was large, all the cases were brought in from the Ohio river boats which touch at that place. During the greater part of the last three years smallpox has ravaged Ohio, Kentucky and Arkansas and the steamboat traiflc has spread the disease through the states which border on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.

[LETTER TO 11RS. PINKHAlf NO. 26,785]

DEAB MRS. PINKHAM—I have many, many thanks to give you for what your Vegetable Compound has done for me. After first confinement I was sick for nine years with prolapsus of the womb, had pain in left side, in small of back, a great deal of headache, palpitation of heart and leucorrlicea. I felt so weak and tired that I could not do my work. I became pregnant again and took your Compound all through, and now have a sweet baby girl. I never before had such an easy time during labor, and I feel it was due to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I am now 'able to do my work and feel better than I have for years. I cannot thank you enough."—MRS. ED. EHLINGER,

DEVCTE, TEX.

Wonderfully Strengthened. I have been taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, Blood Purifier and Liver Pills and feel wonderfully strengthened. Before -using your remedies I was in a terrible state felt like fainting every little while. I thought I must surely die. But now, thanks to your remedies, those feelings are all gone."—MRS. EMIXJB SCHNEIDER, 1244 HELEN AYS., DETROIT MICH.

To the Citizens of Crawfordsville

And iVfy Numerous Patrons Throughout the Coutity,,.,,,,

Owing to the failure of the wheat cop in my trading territory, I will turn my attention to Feed. Flour and Coal trade Will endeavor to make my elevator the leading supply houte in the eity. I will manufacture all kinds of Feed, choice Table Meal, whole Wheat and Graham Flour. My facilities for grinding feed is unsurpassed by any house in the county, and no feed store in the city can sell you better and cleaner goods than you.can get at the Big Four Elevator, and the only way you can know this is to give me a trialv I am earnest in my appeal because I want your trade. All I ask is that you favor me with an order the prices and superiority of my goods will command your future patronage. In these days of extravagant advertising, it would be hard to select the best flour by reading the advertisements. Reputation tells what others think, but the flour speaks for itself. Do not take my word, but try a sack of Golden Link Flour. It is as high a grade of flour as is produced in America and commands the best price, because it is uniformily the best flour.

Yours, respectfully,

W. n. DARTER.
