' Everything In the world Is affected by Inertia that Is, a tendency more or less strong to remain as It is, and which 1t takes time and force to overcome. If we change the center of gravity of mass of quicksilver, it readjusts itself as quickly am a flash; If we tilt a measure of molasbes, it slowly settles itself in accord with Us new conditions. Both will ultimately conform exactly to the laws of gravity. One does It instanter, the other deliberately. Just sq with prices. Let a spectator stand in the gallery of one otf the many produce exchanges on this continent. Not merely every day but every hour, sometimes every minute, the price oT Wheat fluctuates. The report Of an untimely frost raises the price; a favorable government report lowers it, The adjustment of a railroad war may raise or tower prices. The arrival of "tramp" shipping ready to offer low fretghtd may affect them; and the trade In breadstuff, comparable to the ocean In its extent, Is seen to tie as sensitive and fluctuating as are the waves of the sea. Take the salaries of our pullc employes, on the other hand. They are readjusted by the slow process of legis lation, fettered by coils of red tape, and for years and frequently for decades remain unchanged. It Is too p'.uln to need explanation that the street laborer who receives two dollars a day, no mat ter what is the general price for labor, and no matter whether goods are high or low, alid the commissioner at five thousand dollars a year, are alike In terested In having the best money possi ble that is, prices as low as possible, , and the do.ar aible to command more and ' more of what each has to buy and would ' be' injured by a rise In prices that Is, . poorer money, or a depreciation In the ' purchasing power of the dollar. And, , since prices change promptly, and public salaries and wages but slowly, then It money is made poorer, that is, If prices fall, for years to come the same nominal salary or 'wrges wKt buy more and more of the comtforts of life. The example given 'is extreme, but typi cal, au on reflection every wige earner will admit. If lie will look over 'his butcher's and grocer's bills, he will find prices changing from week to week, thus showing, not Indeed that the genera. vaCue of money Is thus fluctuating (for factors of temporary demand and supply may Intervene), but that retill prices though less frequently changed than wholesale prices, are sensitive, ana promptly respond to any change in. the value of money that Is, prices will be promptly lower if the money is made better, and promptly higher If the money Is made poorer. Now, take the wages of labor. Let each consider the wages paid in his own and other occupations with which he Is acquainted. They change sometimes, In deed; but ihow rarely and bow hardly. Once or twice' a year, once In two or three years-such Is the comparative rarity of wage changes in large measure changing only after a strike, or lockout, or a series of conferences after long hardship and dissatisfaction on one side or on the other. The result Is iplaln. The prices it what -wage earners have to buy respond far more promptly to changes In the qual ity than do wages the prices at which labor is sold. 'Hence, whentrer money Is getting better, though nominal vage. may tend to decrease, wage earners are constantly getting more goods In ex change for the money they actually get for their labor; and whenever money is getting poorer, though nominal wagej may tend to Increase, wage earners are constantly getting less of the necessaries and comforts of life in return for the wages they receive. Appreciation of the dollar In which wages are paid, and consequently lower prices, is, therefore, constantly and1 certainly to the advan tage of the wage earner. Depreciation df the dollar, and consequently higher prices, is always and certainly to his damage. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says ed ItorralCy: "One. has heard of Bhlpplng coals to Nowcastle, but we never think of the probability of shipping lumber to ; Puget Sound. And yet that Is what we expect in the future, according Prof. Runnebaum, of Ber.ln. unless our , forests are protected against the reckless cutting and widespread conflagrations ot ' cun.i.a k - , th present day. Tne professor was sent , by the German government to examlno , . ... -..,..- i the timber resources oi n i-aciuc i-umi, . .. . . ,i ,,., and. whHe he was struck by their vast- ness, b exprcssea amaxement at the, waste going on. He was here while for- est Are. wer. raging and the heaven, clouded with smoke. The devastation wrought prompted him to remark that unless our forests are preierved there , ,, are thos, now Ctvlnjr who may aee lum- ber shipped from Germany to Puget Pound. While European countries ure piantlng trees, the professor says we are sweeping away our timber growths, Un mindful of the fact that the life of the forests la the life of the people, and that we are destroying now -what if In part the rightful heritage of future fenerations." AN, HISTORIC LANDMARK. It is now announced that Fort IJackl nac, cn Mackinac Island, Mich., has been totally abandoned. The Stars and Stripes, which for more than one hundred years have floated over the fort's historic walls, have bten hauled down, and the fort and park are now under the supervision ot the sitate, to which they have bten trans ferred by the national government. It Is doubtful If th'ire Is another place In the United States richer In rormnce, In historical associations, and in the memories which Inspire not only the pa triot, but the poet and painter, than is this opot, past which there now go tne sails of trade and commerce. More than two hundred years ago, In the days of French domination, Marquette and La SaiKe and Cartier knew It, as they plied their paddles on treacherous waters or blazed out a path 'or future generations to follow. The song of the light-hearted, but brave and adventurous courier des bols, was heard there; the war cry of the red Indian pierced Its silence and the eoidlers of England were seen thers, when they strove to make of no effect the Independence we had won. We are apt sometimes, dazzled as we are by the glamor of this practical and money-making age, to think that all ro mance btflongs to the oldi world, with the centuries of gradual profession, of which It can boast. This Is not so. Were we only to Jook for It wo would find in our own land as mu.-h to stir the heart and wake the emotions in some lonely Held, or mountain lake, or grassy valley, as lies underneath the dome of stately min ster, or In the paCaces of kings, or the pictured halls of knight and earl. There Is hardly a state which does not have some place that has Its romance of love and war, Its association with events that heiped to make up our history as a peo ple; and thoughtful men often sljjli' to think by how few such spots arj remem bered and how they are 'fast crumbling Into forgetfulness. Public bodies in Astoria, after being elected by the people to whatever olilees a chance wave of public opinion happens to have given them, ure too often In the habit of treating their meetings and "con ferences" as If they were sessions of a private Joint stock company Into the bus iness of which no ordinary citizens have the right to pry. We can understand that there are critical occasions when, for the sake of public policy, a secret meeting of a body 'like a water commis sion or a city council becomes almost a necessity, and when It would not be good Judgment to allow outsiders admittance to such deliberations, liut the average ofllce holer in this city is too apt to suppose that from the time he enters on his duties he Is a sort of mystical ana detective-like indlvidua'l whose acta should be shrouded In the utmost secrecy. Yesterday the city council held a "p I vate" session for the purpose of ascer taining the feeling of the member le garding the adViea'bKlty of assisting sev eral starving laborers. From this meet ing representatives cf the prcs-i were rigidly excluded, an act that savors mote of silly village tyranny than anything else. The public have a vital Interest In the question at Issue, and the public Is entitled to know through tho newspapers what Its own elected representatives choose to do, and the manner In which they reak-'h their determinations. As long as lAstorla Is allllcted with Incompetent and fossilized men in authority who ure lacking In ordinary courtesy und com mon sense, so long will we have to bear rebuffs and Insolent provincialisms of this character. It may be very pleasant for Mr. Councilman Ulube Hamfatter and parties of that Ilk to imagine themselves temporary rustic emperors. The consola tion U that, tike the buffalo, this breed is fast becoming extinct. Lieut. J'eary did not do anything in the Ice but starve and a man surely i'liould be tt'hle to do that without going aa-ay up to the North Pole. Anyway, lots of people do it. The water woiks laborers want but lit tle here below and may esieem them sol'Ve.'. lucky if they get It. It Ui becoming more apparent every day that the on'.y off thing about politics this year is Democracy. SriilEl). The present uxu is chiefly characterised by speed. In that respect it Inco'.imara- b.y surpave all l.int have gone before. It requires no e.oquent disquisition on lost arts to tell us other ages have ex-, ce.led this in wnw particulars. The relics of the past, which are the models of to day, the admiration and the despair or the people, are ample proof of It. On the w.io. the wor.d may ho Improvelng. Its progrecs, however, Is not wholly gain. In weJ.nlga every change thero is some loss as we. I as prolit. though the bajaneo may be to the good. But whatever has been lost, has been unquestionably gain ed a.l around In speed. In every respect this is a rapid age. Educational and In tr!.ectu.U processes are spurred to a pace of whVh Tho scholars of old never dimm ed. In buslnu-vs men are in haste to get rich us never before. In travel that steamer is the favorite which has made the f aisles t run across the Atlantic, and that railroad which runs the faatenl trains. All transit must now be rapid transit. Steam locomotives, a wonder ot the world to our fathers, are now too leow. Lightning Itself must lie harnesses to the coaches of the day. The tele- grac-ci and telephone are more und nvore supplanting the malls. Tho swiftest Outws, bicycles, boats, trains, every-i TZ. "1 undtwbte-.Uy speed is a good thing, in ; Its way. But Is it wise to make it the dlrcd? 1 " to be the end of aJ efforts, or only a means to ti,!, vastly better. It is well to I get a fortune quickly, provided it be .1 .n, h,i)iMMt;iv lltnt la If jtn if th na.ii.'.

But they utterly . fall to touch the root of the matter. If 1 increased speed enable man to achieve more in a given space f time it should also enable him to have more leisure for the enjoyment of that which he has achieved. If U mean more wealth It :iouM mean more rightful u.?e of wealth. If it mean more work it should also mean mope pl'ay. ... This is the true philosophy of rpeed. We are not to be constantly on the wWrl. The business man of today has made more money at tnirty-nve man 'tils 'father had at seventy. But he should not keep on at the money making until he too, is seventy, for if he do, what better is he than his father was? The work Insman of toJay, with improved appli ances, can do as much in five hours as his father "did In ten. But he should not be compelled to toll ten hours a day, too, for if he do.what will speed profit him? Our latter-day speed should mean to the laborer fewer hours of toll, and more rest, recreation, and enjoyment of the higher things of life. It should: mean to t'.ie man of affairs more years ot Irfyure for In. : '"-ctnal and spiritual cul ture and for adva:-"emcnt In those ele ments of life which are not measured by dollars and cents. It thouU mean prog ress in the arts, and In that higher cul ture which can come only ifrom sordid compulsion. It should, perhaps, bring a leisure class Into society by which Is not meant an Idle or a worthless class and It should certainly bring to al classes far more leisure time which does not mean idle or wasted time. There Is flomethflng better than being constantly anxious and busy with material affairs, and that better thing is What this, age of speed should bring to us, one and all. THE BOTTOM CATJ3E. Just In time to explain the outgo of gold, the official statement comes that the 'merchandise imports 1n August ex ceeded exports by $15,282,729, against an excess of exports in August, 1SS4, ot $9,079,073. A difference of over $21,000,000 In a single month more than explains the disturbance which threatens again to Increase tne ponuea aeDi. rne next exports of gold 'in 'August were $15,159,782, a little less than the difference In mer chandise values as officially recorded. But the undervaluation of imports and Interest due abroad so swell the amount to be paid that several millions must have remained to be liquidated in Sep tember, even alfter 'the net exports of flUllo.STi In silver is included. And lho(-e still remains the considerable amount due for government bonds and other se curities returned from Europe. It is probably yafe to ray that, of the foreign Indebtedness Incurred by purchase ot goods and In all other ways in August, less than halt ,was liquidated, and over $15,000,000 remained to call' for further gold exports. Of the nature of the Increase In Imports the latest Information Is given In the de tailed statement for July, just published. A month ago It was shown from the Mutement for June that Imports of coffee, tea, wines, precious stones, cocoa, and ci gars, 'articles which are tests of the con suming ability of tho people had been smaller under the new tariff than In the fame months of 1891-"J2, by about 27 per cent. Including July, the Imports of those articles for eleven months were $118,911,907, against $108,016,316 last year, and $161,0.12,977 In 1891-'92 a decreasa of 27.6 per cent. Yet the ability of the peo ple to consume luxuries and comforts thus diminished, it appears that imports ot prO'Jucts which most directly compete with and threaten American Industries were increased almost a quarter in de clared or Invoiced value, and owing to undervaluations under the new ad va lorem duties imueh more largely in actual value: As before, imports of woolen goods are Included for 'the period since new du ties went into effect, in thl3 ease seven months, and Imports of other articles are includedfor eleven months since August, 1(94, In comparison with imports for cor reiponding months In previous years: 1895. 1S94.

Imports of gl'oves, earthennjare Mid cottons have especially Increased, notwithstanding the claim that such in dustries, especially the cotton manufac ture, have abundant protection under the raw tariff. In cottons of all kinds the increase is over 20 per cent, though In silks It Is much less, and also In other textllo fabrics, part of which have been made free of duty. Wool waste, which Is partly manufac tured wool In form for use, Is Included with wool, and the excess of Imports com pared with 1892 Is $11,267,254, or about 6U per cent. The removal of duties has taken away temptation to undervalue. But In woolen goods, though the apparent Increase for seven months compared with the same .months of 1892 his been about 52.2 per cent, the undervaluations have been so great under tho new a.l valorem duties that 75 per cent would probably he below the increase in actual value of goods Imported.

Un dervaluations in other woolens would go fur, at least, to make up for any actual decrease In foreign prices' of these. But adding on.y the undervaluations for wool lens, there appears an Increase over 1893 In u.l tho above products of about 50 per cent. In the great number of minor article the lncrea30 is so great that the Invoiced Imports in eight months ending In August vere $82,708,645 greater than in the pre vious year. It Is not a wuste of time to compare thvse returns, if Americans are competent to govern themselves. They will see revealed, beyond possible dispute, the actual cause of gold exports and Increased national debt In the law ctlinul.itlng Imports which cJhipeic with heme Industries. THE INDUSTRIAL PROBLEM. The Hallway Review says: "Industry is bothfred to account for the improved Industrial situation. It think that the recent advance In the rate of wages in at l.-ast four hundred establish riftits In this country Is a circumstance without precedent. No one hci.s ever before seen anything of rhe kind and the causes are anything but plain. For three years past the country hnd been in the throes of violent labor disturbance, both work and wages belnjr reduced from one end of the land to the other. The Carnegie and Chi fago riots, andtthe great railway strlk? only a yetr ago, came near the borders of anarchy, and the revolt against cor porate exactions had reached a limit, bow dangerous no one may ever know. Now tho question is, what has caused a voluntary Increase of wages? It Is an economic problem that is troubling every one. That an increase of customs depresses wages 1s fact based on the history of alt countries, but that a slight reduction In customs tax and cheapen ing df material' t-hould to coon permit an Increase In the wages element does not seem possible. Let us hope it is a sense of Justice and falrne; on the part of employers." DEMOCRATIC FINANCES. The real difficulty of the treasury today, the fountain head of all its embarrass ments, is the fact that it is not taking in near.y enough mnoey to meet Its cur rent 'liabilities. As long aa this state of things continues there is nothing to be done but to pile bond issue upon bona ifcsue, and keep on adding to the national debt in time of peace to pay current ex penses. New York Recorder. If the president is content to leave legis lation to congress he can at least throw upon its shoulders the burden of any future bond Issues. If he and the repre sentallves of his policy in the upper house reruae to act with him the Republican majority in congress, persisting in main taining party lines on this question, there wll1. 'be a succession of bond Issues, with all the accompanying disturbance and uncertainty until after March 4, 1397. Buffalo Express. Tire reports-thatt the government has completed arrangements for another bond bnsue, or at least that it is contemplating such an Issue, grow more dellnite. Un der the circumstances, In the fix in which the government has gotten itself under ! Democratic control, a new bond Issue 1 may be the only way out and the only way to avert another panic; but the peo ple will not be in a hurry to forget the wretched 'Democratic legislation and management that led up to and necessi tated these bond' issues. Minneapolis Tribune. The only .common sense way while the currency laws remain unchanged, or at least until their construction by the treasury department is different than now, is to raise enough revenue to In sure a surplus In the treasury that shall compel respect from everybody. Confi dence wag 'wrecked by crippling the source of supply and the Da noeratic party Is responsible for It.

Kansus Clly Jou.-r.al. Evidently tho bond syndicate is "work ing both fides of the street." After bun koing the government out of $12,000,000 on the la'st bond Issue, it is now milking the market In Wall Street by letting the reserve go abroad In great gobs and thus depressing prices to cover its short sales of (shares at a big prolltj Grover, put your cyclone collar In order. Denver Re paly.lcan. (It can hardly bo called "bun koing." The cold facts are that the free sllverltes in congress refused to agree to the repayment of bonds in gold which sold for gold, and insisted that the bonds sold shoutd read payable, principal ami interest, In coin silver worth fifty cents on the dollar as soon as a free silver 16 to 1 bill was enacted. It was this scheme to cheat that bunkoed the government out of 12 mlMlons of dollars. Chicago Tri bune. If there Is to be another bond Issue, Instead of appealing to syndicates the administration should appeal to the peo ple and issue a loan In such shape that the pecple can Invest their small savings In it. If the bond issue is to come, as seems inevitable, let preparations be made at once to appeal to the people for a popular loan, Instead' of waiting tl.'i money is necessary to avoid a catas trophe, as before the lust isfnue, and then making the best terms possible with a syndicate organized to make profit. Louisville Commercial. (If the "appeal to the people for a popular loan" is made It will never be taken by them if the government exacts gold or Its equivalent and refuses to repay In as good money as 'it gets.
