The general commissioner of labor, Colonel Wnght.declarcs that from 1800 to 1880 wagos in this country have doubled and that prices of goods have decreased in still greater proportion.

In New Eegland, notwithstanding the reduction of 12 per cent, in the hours of labor, wages have risen 97 per cent. Also real wages have not only been increased actually, but they increased relatively. It is nlso easily provable by statistics that the economic tendency of large capitals and improved methods of production is lo increase real wages and lower the rate of profits. So not only are the masses growing richer, both actually and relatively, but capi talists, though actually growing richer a class are growing rel atively poorer and fewer in number. LOC AL I'ASSICS.

Champion. The congress of the United States has no more right or authority to control or regulate the internal commerce of Kansas than it has to regulate the movements of tho solar system. The inter-state commerce act specifically recognizes this fact, in the proviso of its first section, which reads as follows. "Provided, however, that the provis ions of this act shall not apply to the transportation of passengers or proper ty, or to the receiving, delivering, stor ing, or handling of nropertv, wholly witnin one state, and not shipped to or trom a foreign count rv from or to any state or territory as aforesaid." None of the provisions of the inter state commerce law apply to the transportation of passengers or property wholly within one for the implo reason that congress has no authority to enact any law that would so apply. If the lallioad companies want to abolish the pass system, they can do so.

The issuing of parses or refusal to issue them, is a matter wholly within their own control. But they have no right to dodge behind the inter-state commerce law, and pretend that it pro hibits the the issue of passes from one point in a state to another point in the same state. The law does no such thing. Not a single lino or section of the law has, nor can't have, any force or effect with relation to the internal commerce of any of the states of the Union. AVIUT1XG.
