IN 1922 In an industrial forecast for 1922 ft is necessary to consider the causes of the depression, chiet among Which Is the un- balanced relationship betwen tho prices of farm and ouher primary prodicts <a the one hand, and the prices of manu- factured goods, transportation servics and various other products and services on the other hand. The final estimates of the department of Agricultur ubon the 1921 crops give them & market value to the farmers $8.- 000,000,000 below the vaiue of the crop of 1918 and $3,400,000,000 below the val- uo of the crop of 1920, These are figures of great significanc . The farmers have produced néarly as much in quantity, but I has been valued in the exchanges at less than one-half the figures of 1913, As other preducts and services have not, de- clined in like Gegree, the farmers much buy much less, and all the industries are suffering in consequence. It 15 useless to expect a return to ror- mal conditions while this disparity of compensation bstween sreat bodies of producers exist. It is unfalr and it eh- toblishes an effective blookade against a Tevival of busines.

The argument that stock on hand was purchased at higher prices has lost - whatever force it ever had.

Raw materfals and foodstuffs have had a great decline at wholesale, but between the wholesale markets and consumers the cost of handling and manufacturing haz not declined in like proportions. The ef- fect is to obstruct the distribution of oods and throw millions of wage-earn- ers cut of employment, at the same time keping up the cost of living on the entire wage-earning population.

The arrang- ment of his argument, as well as the mat- ter of it, shows how thorcughly he had mastered the case, how skilfully he ar- ranged his points and how ably he ap- plled his great legal knowledge. Mr. Webster depicted most graphically the poverty, reproach and. suf?: which the complainant underwent in his intel- lectusi, patient persevering efforts to produce in' the manufacture < ruber a new and useful vesult, for & period of 10 years. He said: “It would be paintul to Spesk of s extreme want—the destitu- tion of his family, haif-clad, he micking up with his own hands little Billets of wood from the wayside to warm the household—suffering reproach—not harhs reproach, for no ome could bestow that lenle from his friends” and after Al writing 10 & g0od epirit and cheerful vein an affecting letter from the debtors’ jail In_Boston."

Railroad wages In shops and for common Iabor are so far above the wages pald for similar work along their lines that the companies find it practicable to make important savings by contracting for their repairs and much other work. The New York Central has contracted for freight-handling at: some of ' its ter- mingls, and the Erle has contracted for track-maintenance over a ortion of its Hne, The operatfon of raflway repair shaps always has been regarded as a matter of policy within the discretion of the management. If a comipany can save mon- ey by operating s own shops it should o #0, and by the same reasoning if- mon- cy can besaved by letting out the work that should be dome. The railroads are maintained primarily to give semvice to tho public, and the public fs entitled to have them operated upon a level of costs correspending to what the public pays and receives for 1fke labors and services. Continuity of service and merit in ser- wico may well be recogmized, but com- pensation should be based upon. the valie of services rendered. Amy other system would make raflroad employes a favored class at the expense, mot of the raliraad companies, but:of the public, Inclnding millions of people who hawe less pay than the rafiroad men. We have a leter from Montgomery, Al2,. in which the writer savs: “The producers are forced to sell best for from 1 1-2 o 3 cents per ound and hides for from 1 to 3 cents and the con- sumers pey from 25 to 40 cents per pound for steak and from $8 to $15 per pair for shoes, The same is true off all cther products. The negro porters on railway trains get a salary from $100 to $200 per month for eleht hours of easy work a day : while the farm laborers work frem 19 to 14 hours a day in the dew and cold and recelve n salary of from $8 to $15 per month, and the farmer loses money pay- ing that salary.

It is, however, inter- esting to note at the present time that the series of postage stamps issued by Albania just before the European ‘War ontained a very well-engraved portrait of the early hero, who is cele- brated in history as being the first liberator of Albanta, says the New Yorkc Times. This man was George Castrioti, but who i5 better known by his Turkish name of Skanderbeg, of- ten spelled Scanderberg. His por- trait is one of the lesser known faces on postage stamps, says Roland D. Johnson, in ‘Scott’s Monthly Journal. He s supposed to have been bofn about 1404 and died about 1468. Dur- ing those years he added a great deal to _the historical interest of Europe. He was the son of a mountain chief George, with thrée brothers, was de- livered to the Turks as hostages. George Castrioli was a mere lad at the time, but his natural wit gained the good will of the Sultan, who had bim well educated, especially in mili- tary affairs, and gave him command of one of his cavalry divisions. When the father of the three boys died the Sultan, then Amurath II, caused the other boys mysteriously to disappear.

He then passed the unfortunate official into th e hereafter and, armed with the order, named himself master of Albania. That was about. 1443, He at once renouced Mohammedan- isman.d proclaimed hiniself the cham- pion of Christianity. At that time Al- bania was entirely a Christian coun- try, and there flocked to his standard not alone his own people, but msny Christian adventurers from Western Europe. For twenty-thres years, under this man’s leadership, the Albanians turn- ed the annual punitive expeditions from Stamboul to naught. These ex- peditions were no Sunday school plo- nies, says Mr. Johnson, as they in- volved from 20,000 to 40,000 men and were commanded by hte ablest Tur- kish generals. In the end Skanderbeg died as he had llved—for Albania— and left his native land and small son to the protection of the Republic of Venice. It was not the old hero's fauilt that Venice did not hold the trust for long, and it remained for the Balkan War again to free Albania from Turk- ish domination. CONVENT LIFE IN RUSSIA Convent life still exists in Russia, but in changed form. A convent that illustrates tho changes wrought by the revolution is to be found within Moscow. On en- tering. the inclosure first glance fell on the usual chapel and little yellow brick houses built around it. They were merely run down and shabby like the rest of the town. The chapel still kept its rather gloomy splendor of gold and silver ikons, but the. number of candles burning was kept down to a reverent minimum. The sister superior was not to be found in any of the main houses along the shaded walk. She was finally dis- covered in a humble room 2t the rear. and explained that she had to move four times to make room for some university professors whom the Gov- ernment was quartering in the cloister.
