Flight of the Generals. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 30.—The flight of Union generals across the state of Nebraska yesterday was the signal for the massing of great crowds along the route of the party and cheers greeted Generals Sickels, Howard, Siegel, Alger and Tanner at all stations. Brief speeches were made at Hastings and other towns. The party reached this city after an electrical flight of 55 minutes from < hnaliQ. A crowd was assembled at the depot, but only a short stop was made and the train sped on to Hastings. It stopped at Buttons for water and the sight which greeted the visitors was one certainly calculated to tickle their vanity. The whole city and country side were assembled at the depot. Men, women and children fairly swarmed upon the private cars and foi a moment or so threatened to literally overwhelm them.

IT’S EASY TO MARK UP PRICES, BUT HARD TO RAISE WAGES. I am as much opposed to cheapening the American workingman and working woman as I am to cheapening the American dollar. ... If we go to a silver basis, the merchant can take care of himself. With a lead pencil he can mark up everything in his store to meet the new conditions. But the wage earner cannot go to the pay roll and mark up his salary. The man who has $10 in a savings bank cannot go into the bank and mark it up to $20. The man who has put money into life insurance cannot mark up double the amount expressed in his policy. The pensioner cannot mark his $8 a month up to $16.—Ex-President Benjamin Harrison.

FALL OF PIUCES. NOT DUE TO APPRECIATION OF GOLD, BUT TO CHEAPER COST OF PRODUCTION.
Nt,il Triitd HoliU u Mr.■tint-. New York, Sept. 30.—Members of the nail trust were in executive session at the Waldorf hotel yesterday. J. J. Parks, one of tne members, said that about 50 firms were represented at the business meeting held during the day.

David A. Wolls DiHcusaes Caune of Fall In Price*—Compare* JtiMper'* “Sun Do Move” Tlu*ory With Sllverlte** Gold Ha* Appreciated Theory—Measured by Price of Labor, Gold Is Depreciating. The Hou. David A. Wells, author of “Recent Economic Changes,” and the greatest American authority on the cause of falling prices, has a full page article on this subject in the New York Tribune of Sept. 7. He finds that there has been a universal fall in prices, averaging 30 or 40 per cent, since 1N73, but that it is only in this country that the fall is attributed to the demonetization of silver. Continuing, he says in part: Granting, as every intelligent person must, that the recent universal decline in prices cannot be due to any local agency, but must be attributed to some universal influence, it is claimed that such an influence is to be found in an appreciation in the value or purchasing power of gold, owing to its limited and insufficient supply, and also that this decline in prices followed the so called demonetization of silver in some countries, and the closing of the mints in other countries (o its coinage. The appreciation of gold, helped by an alleged enforced scarcity of silver, and a decline in price seem, therefore, to stand to each other in the relation of cause and effect, and the cause of the advocates of silver has accordingly at the outset much of plausibility. But plausibility is not proof, nor assumption truth, as is strikingly illustrated by the claim of the Rev. Jasper, pastor of the First colored church in Richmond, Va., that “the sun do move,” and the earth “do stand still,” and who has more of seeming facts in support of his faith than can bo adduced by the advocates of the gold appreciation theory—for cannot everybody with eyes see the sun move up every morning in the east and move down every evening in the west? And if the earth moves lit miles every second, as the astronomer bugs tell us, would not every movable thing fly off its surface as mud does from a revolving carriage wheel? And as nothing does fly off, is it not certain that the earth stands still? Investigation in the ease of the Rev. Jasper and the advocates of the gold appreciation theory will, however, lead to different conclusions. It is to he noted, in the first place, that the advocates of the latter theory, in stating what they assert tn he the truth, never express themselves other than generally, in all that has been written or spoken in support of the gold theory on either side of
the Atlantic.
No one has ever been able to name a single commodity that lias notably declined in price within the last 30 jeairs and satisfactorily proved, or even attempted to prove, that such decline was due to the appreciation of gold. And the reason for such default is that it
cannot be done.
On the other hand, not a single commodity that has notably declined in price within this time can be named in respect to which clear, abundant and specific evidence cannot be adduced in proof that this decline has beem duo to decreased ci st of production or distribution or to changes in supply and demand occasioned by wholly fortuitous
circumstances.
j Nooody, i jrthermore, has ever risen to explain tho motive which has impelled the honest sellers of merchandise all over the world during the last 25 years to take lower prices for their goods in the face of an unexampled abundance of capital and remarkably low rates of interest, except for one or both of two reasons—excess of supply or diminished demand. Has any one ■•ver attempted to explain how it has happened that during the recent period of the full of prices the world’s stock of money, and especially of silver, has been constantly increasing? Is it not plain that a phenomenal decline of prices in two parts of the world, with entirely different monetary conditions, must have had other causes than a demonetization of silver in the United States, which took place, if it ever did, a comparatively short time ago (repeal of the Sherman act in 1893), and which has not prevented nearly ^600,000,000 of silver credit money from circulating in the the country at its full nominal
value?
That the price of labor measured in gold has not declined, bnt increased in a marked degree everywhere in the civilized world during the last quarter of a century, has been already commented on; hence if the purchasing power of gold has increased during this period a given amount of it would have purchased more labor and not less, or, what is the same thing, wages would have fallen, which they have not done. Measured by the price of labor, gold has unquestionably depreciated, and recent careful examinations indicate that the ratio of its decline has been from 100 in 1873 to 83 in 1893. Measured also by the decline in the rate of interest on such established gold paying securities as British consols, the ratio has been from 100 in 18*0 to 75 in 1896. Can anybody suggest a better measure for testing this issue? Has any one ever endeavored to ex plain how un appreciation of gold has reduced the cost of railroad and watei transportation to the extent of more than 75 per cent within the last 20 years, although the wages of employees i have advanced during the same period? If, on the other hand, these reductions were caused by the suppression 1 of the free coinage of silver, will not a | reversion of policy enable the railroads to advance their freight rates and rob tin people, as will be claimed, by exacting ‘ 50 per cent more than at present? And i will not some supplementary provisions ! to the free coinage act he necessary to prevent their so doing? They have tne silver basis in India, have had it for centuries, and it has had a fair trial. It would ruin this country and bankrupt everybody. The fountain of business is stability, and with a silver standard you can never have it. I n Calcutta I can buy this suit of clothes for $40 today, and perhaps $20 tomorrow, and the next day U will be $50. You can never tell from tho number of dollars you own how much you are worth. The country is at the mercy of the money changers and speculators. The idea of going toasilver standard from a gold one is too ridiculous for serious consideration. I have seen enough of this in India.-Iii-lmp Thohuni’opinion niflnned mid cndurM*!] over hi* own uiiine.
