A book entitled "Labor and Other Capital," by Edward Kellogg, was pub lished in the winter of 113-49 In New York City. It is Interesting for Its state ments of the conJitlons prevailing in the eastern states about half a century ago. The author says the industrious poor, as a class, did not obtain even a competence. They did not receive their share of production anil the wealth was not distributed In accordance with cither the physical or the mental usefulness of those who obtained it. The wealth of this nation was rapidly accumulating In the hands of a comparatively few per sons In our large cities. The author estimated that 150,000 men In the United States owned as much real and personal property as did all the rest of the 30 millions of people, they and their families constituting but one in forty of the en tire population. Ho complained that there was usually an apparent overstock of goods and products for which there was no ready market, houses that would not sell or rent, manufactured goods ly ing In tho stores and which could not be sold for the cost of making, and labor out of employment. Increased facility of , production by the labor saving machines that had been introduced since the be ginning of the century seemed to increase the number and multiply the wants of those who lived In idle luxury Instead of affording the desired relief to actual producers. And' much If not most ot this trouble Is stated to have been due to the lack of a good money system. "The unfair distribution of wealth is caused by an unjust legal standard of distribution, and distribution Ib -egulntea and effected by the standard of value, which Is money." It may be observed that these plaints about money were made at a time when, according to the free silver extremlats or today, the people of tho United Slates were enjoying all the benefits of free coinage, with the sliver dollar as tho un disputed currency unit. But Mr. Kel logg thought he saw the Imperative neccs slty of doing something "to prevent capi tal from tuklng too .argo a propoitlon of the products of labor." He jought to Justify his position by drawing a picture of the misery and Injustice tra vailing In his day, and If that picture was no an exaggerated one the conditions of the classes who were willing to work for wages half a century ago was much worse than anything that has oeim perlenced In the last ten years or the Inst tweiity-five years, 8u his book sup ports the deduction from statistics that things have grown better lilnce he wrote Instead of getting worse. Kellogg reasoned that a reductl&n ot the rates of Interest for the use of money would cure most of the evils he plceured In his book. That reduction has been effected. But it is Interesting to note that the change has come about In a vi ry different way from that proposed by him, and that his plan contained no en couragement to the freo sllverltes of to day. He wanted the money of the coun try to be pper, based on land, and tried to prove by the following lino of argu ment that he could dispense with both gold and silver: "If coins of base metal were endowed by law with the properties of money that Is were made representa tives of actual value, capable of accumu lating Interest and a public tender for debts they would answer every purpose of money equally well with coins of pure metal. They could represent, meas ure, accumulate, and exchange property, and these are tho sole properties and use of money. Therefore they would be money." He adds that these powers given to any convenient material by con gressional enactment will qualify it for a medium of exchange, and "in overy particular constitute it money." These vagaries compare well with those put forth In the present day by agitators for flat paper currency and a debased silver monometallism which Is wanted by the Populists only as a halfway step to the flat paper they claim to believe would be a panacea for all the financial Ills that afflict the body politic and the yrcat mass ot the Individuals who compose It. But there Is this Important .difference. The world should be wiser now than it wss when Kellogg wrote. As a whole It Is so, but the fellows who prate near the close of this century that free silver and flat paper would make people rich, and falsify statements about fact to prove the necessity of the change, ore no wiser than he, while they cannot plead that they live In the times of Ignor ance which God once "overlooked." It hn Iwn stated more tlyin once In print that this nuinlry already his paid for th cmeMilM , free ftllver nirit-'.tors a pH, e fwr in exreiis cf the value of all Its silver mines. Count von -Mlrtoach says In an article in the North American Review, that there Is not a single branch of agricultural pro duction in North American which Is not more important and mire valuable than all ita sliver output combined. On this the New York Journul of Commerce re marks that It would be a serious blow to the pretentions of the freo silver ,-x- tremlsts If their dupes could be made to understand that the proipects of the hay crop of the SUto of Now York alone are at this moment a question of greater Importance, expressed In dollars and cants, than are the chances of getting an advance of 33 per cent on tho whole fifty or sixty million ounces of filver Unit American mines will turn out this year. In pleading for alleged "Just'ce' to tnemse.ves (tney call It Justice to sll ver as if an inanimate object could have und "rights"), their ea3 Is almost Insig nificantly small by the side of the one presented .by the producers of wheat, corn, or cotton, if the latter sho lid make a similar demand that the people of the United tSutes be compelled to take a stated quantity of either as the tqulva- lent of a stated amount In cents or dol lars. As a plea for the people them- selves there is still less reason in it, as the people would be grievously damaged by the adoption of free silver coinage on the terms Insisted on by the extremists. There is no sense In the state-nont that the amount of metallic monsy In the world is not ample for the present money wants of tho world, and It Is a lie to assert that silver Is not now doing Its full shure in the transaction of business. It was to bring back prosperity that the Republican party marched to the polls last fall and voted all but thirteen not th. ern Democrats out of the House of Repre sentative. It was to condemn tho par alyzing of American Industries and the pauperizing of American labor that W. L. Wilson, the chairman of the ways Ways and iicans Committee, was voted out of congress in West Virginia, and a solid Republican delegation sent to the house from that state in place of a solid Democratic delegation. It was a condemnation of Democracy, and an as surance to business and industry that the people gave Republicans control in the House by majorities In the delegations of thirty-two out of forty-four states, so that If by any chance the next presi dential election should be thrown into the house, a Republican president would be sure to Ibe elected, t is only a few short months ago that tho people did this, at.'d yet the Democrats are trying to make them forget their own work and claiming the credit for lh-it which is tho direct result of what the people did in condemnation of Democracy. Tne Amer ican people are quick to forget and for give, but it Is too much of a tix on their credulity to believe that they will forget why they turned down the Dem ocratic party In the elections last year. THE DIOAIOCRATIC CONFERENCE Now York Tribune. It seems merely a waste of time to refer to the Washington conference of silver. Democrats. The world has marched on and left them and their pet issue behind. To call them cranks is rather an Insult to the genuine und un adulterated cranks who are not merely partisans. Tho free silver Democrats are mainly partisans who discover that the financial dishonesty which the Democrats have for many years cultivated merely a trick to win elections against Re publican good faith, now threatens under the name of Populism to sweep the Dem ocrallc pnrty o'ff the face of tho earth In frantic anxiety for their party and their own places these Bllver Democrats rush to the footlights, protesting that they are quite as crazy and dishonest on the money question as any one else, The lunatics that really believe that the millions are ground down undor thi hoofs of monetary despots are morany much more worthy persons, however little can bo said for their mental capacity. It is rightly said that tho Populists themselves have hardly ever gone to wilder extremes In monetary discussion than appear In the address: of these stiver Democrats. In fact, the effort ttl cut-Populist the (Populists is painfully evident, so that 'few can be deceived by It In the least. On tho surface there Is tho pretence that the Democratic party is, and always has been, quite as bad and brainless ns silver Democrats now pro fess to be, tout that Is not quite the fact. It has been vicious and dangerous in Its tendencies ever since the War of Rebellion, because that trouble brought crushing defeat to southern and pro slavery Domocracy through the enormous resources which a free people with faith In their government, gladly offered for its support. Ever Blnce that time the dearest hope of tho southern Democracy, ever the ruling force In that party, has been to crush and hlmlliato tho Indus tries and financial Institutions of the north by which suppression of the re bellion was made possible. Quite as na turally all the Copperhead Democracy of the north has taken sides with tho south ern repudlntors and Inflationists. But the Democratic party had not been preaching these destructive notions long ton wester and southern voters when it discovered that It was In danger of light ing a tire which It hod not the power to quench. Monetary and property Interests In the great commercial cities took alarm and as those cities give in later years the only chance the Democratic party has of carrying northern states, the crack In the party began which has since been widening to n break. The Issue for the lust two years has been between tho Democrats who hope to save western and southern states by itolng even further the.n tho Populists In financial foolish ness and dishonesty, and those who want to save some eastern states by keep ing within telescopic sight of business in terests. This conference does not make any break, but vainly attempts to prevent ore. It is tmaclned that western and southern Democrats, though crammed with the demagoglsm and dishonesty which tho party has taught so long, may be held within party lines until the con vention by tho proposal to organize and struggle for control of it, and may then be placated by some double-faced declaration, and swept away by partisan habit and feeling Into the support of any Democratic candidate. Exnetly s tho en me voters supported Mr- Cleveland In IS'?, and men like Senator Vest pledged their faith that he could be trusted, so the candidate of ISMS, the Democrats imagine, may be trustingly supported by silver extremists and Will street bankers, side by side, xaca think ing the other Is cheated. It Is a trick which has been played many times anil succeeded once. The result is tho reason It cannot succeed again. LOOKED ONLY AT RESULTS. "Gracious. Omedley, who's been pulling your whiskers out 7" "My baby did It." "Heavens, msn, you're disfiguring your self that way." . "Yes. I kr.on, but, you see, U keeps baby quiet." WAGES AND IMPORTS. Chicago Tribune, Three more strikes In woolen mills for better wages are mentioned. It Is not strango that the workers, seeing notices in the papers every day of tho restora tion of wages should Insist that their turn hud come. The Fall river cotton workers are organizing for a complete restoration of wages to rates paid before the panic, and have thoroughly canvassed the mat ter so that dicpatches st.ato a general advance will probably be demanded. It may be that tho votton workers have not fully considered the fact that nearly 77 per cent more cotton goods have been brought into this country In ten months under the new tariff than in the same months of tho previous year. It may be that tho woolen workers do not realize that $23,0?2,510 In declared foreign value of woolen sc.! ; 'ins been placed on the market In tho III, six months of 1895, against only J7.S-4i.711 In the same months of last year, with the certainty that the undervaluations have n?ver been so great or dangerous as they are this year. Tho American Wool and Cotton Re porter, which earned the ill will of manu facturers by agitating for free wool, dis covers that the new tariff docs not work out blessed results, and in two editorials this week gives details which appear to prove, In his own words, "the complete failure of the present ad valorem sys tom." It states that 60,000 yards of 18 ounce Clay worsteds were sold for imme diate delivery last week by one firm ot $1.0716, and that large sales were m&de by one other house, to the extent of over 800 pieces, of 12-ounco Clay worsteds at i'l'i cents. Though similar invoices had been passed by Appraiser tfchoonhof formerly the free trade agent for Presi dent Cleveland's administration in Eu ropebut were detained for reappralse ment by other ofllcials, Invoices of like nature and In great quantity appear to be constantly passing. Men In the business know without argument whether these prices are consistent with honst manu facture and duty paying. The goods come In, whether honestly Invoiced or not, 'free traders being In churge of tlio olllces, and in quantities large enough to require attention. In the first six months of 181)5 the imports of woolen goods amounted to 19,118,001 pounds, against only 2,716,720 pounds In the same months of last year. T.ie lm ports of dress goods amounted to 13,207,' W0 pounds In the same six months, which Is equivalent to &J,8:JU,SJ4 yards, against IVJH.ttil yards lust year. .Moreover, there were taken from warehouses during the same months und placed on the market no less limn l,l"l,(7j pounds woolen cloths and 6,01J,91ti yatdj of drej fcoodi. T.ils la the record for only half a year and the first half, too, before tho foreign manufacture! s hud learned ull that they now know of the modes by which th American tariff can bo beaten and the American Industries as well. Sooner or yater these facts will have to be considered by the workers In Amer ican mills. Most unwelcome facts they are, and they do not give much support to the belief f.mt wages materially higher than have been paid In the first half of 1S95, when those enormous Importations occurred, can be paid by most of the American .mills. In excentlonal cases. where special qualities or grades of goods of goods are manufactured, the domestic maker may bo able to defy competition under existing duties, even though the foreign goods are greatly undervalued. But tho plain truth is that the American workingmun is condemned to lower wages, not by the 111 will or the greed of manufacturers, but by tho free trade fanaticism and folly of Democrats who enacted the present tariff. If they wish to organize, their best way Is to organize against the election of another Demo cratic congress or president. DAY DRMAMS. Thro' realms of fairest fancy, 'Neath Hope's eternal ray, To the golden Hand of day dream'aml From this world I ofttlmes stray; And the longings rife of this tossing life Sly being cease to sivny. For I imovo 'where the skies nre clearer 'And love is the ruling star; While sweet content to my heart Is sent, And tho gates of peifce unbar, As on sparkling seas to that land of ease I drift In any dreams afar. O dream of my Idle moments! O dreams of my Idle hours! In tho garden of life 'mid toll and strife, You gladden my heart like the fragrant flowers; And your promhe bright is a beacon light When the storm of fute dark lowers. Thomas A. Fardon.
