YALE ALUMNI WHEEKLY
The Late General Walker.
(H. W. F. in February Journal of Science.)
His economic work lay in three dis-
tinct lines. He was at once the leader
of an economic movement, a theoreti-
cal economist and a statistician. His
name is. chiefly associated in the
popular mind with the movement for
the establishment of international
bimetalism by an agreement among
the leading states. His attitude on
this subject has frequently been mis-
understood. He had no symyathy with
the national bimatellic movement of
the campaign of 1896 which aimed at
the introduction of the free coinage of
silver by the United States alone, but
he followed in his views very closely
those of Cernuschi and other European
economists. As a theoritician his most
important contributions to the science
are his Law of Wages and his Law
of Profits. The former was first sug-
gested in his treatise on Wages pub-
lished in 1876 and more fully developed
in his text book of Political Hconomy
published in 1882. This theory stood in
direct opposition to the wage-fund
theory of an earlier period, and has
had an important influence upon
economic thought. His theory of
profits established a close parallel be-
tween profits and rent, and held that,
just as rent is the remuneration for
special advantages in the way of land,
so profits are remuneration for special
advantages in the way of business
ability. As a statistician Gen.
Walker’s most important work lay in
the management of the ninth andtenth
census, which he developed from a
mere enumeration of the population
into a great statistical investigation,
reinforced by numerous special studies
of the principal resources of the
United States. He combined in a rare
degree the logical mind of the scholar,
the vivid style of the popular writer,
and the organizing power of the ad-
ministrator. His literary activity lay
in many fields, and many departments
of economic science will feel his loss.
Wale Review for February.
The February issue of the Yale Re-
view happens to have, probably for
the first time in its history, no body
article from a Yale man.
BE. A. Angell of Cleveland writes on
“The Tax Inquisitor System in Ohio;”
James G. Whiteley of Baltimore on
“The Question of the Dardanelles;’’
“Half a Century of Improved Housing

Tolman, New York secretary of that
society; Prof. Willard Fisher of
Wiesleyan University writes on ‘The
Currency of China,’ and J. R. Com-
mons on “The Day Labor and Con-
tract System of Municipal Works.’’
The editorial comment discusses
“The Indianapolis Conference.” ‘‘Pub-
lic Opinion and Legislation,’ and
‘The Completion of Spencer’s Syn-
thetic Philosophy.’’ Naturally the life
and work of the late. Francis A.
Walker is dealt with editorially in the
Notices. In the latter Department are
also articles on these topics: “Opposi-
tion to the Adoption of the Federal
Constitution,’ ‘History of Political
Studies in American Colleges,’ ‘‘The
English Local Rating System,” ‘The
Cost of English Election Competition
Trials,’”’ ‘‘Notes on the Currency Ques-
tion,’”” “Free Silverism in Hngland,’’
“A Neglected Economist: John Rae.”’

WHAT IS
INHALER ?
X-ODE is a product of electricity. It forms on
asbestos while being electrically treated in a
solution. This asbestos is put up in a glass vial.
When the cork of the vial is removed and the air
comes in contact with the asbestos, it emits from
the inhaler a soothin seous substance, which
will penetrate any part of the body. When inhaled
through the nose or mouth, it penetrates every
nook and crevice of the mucuous surfaces, kills the
germ that causes the disease, and gives the tissues
a healthy condition, thus effecting a permanent
cure. Itis unlike snuff, drugsor medicine. X-Ode
penetrates parts that it would be impossible for
drugs or medicines to do.
Catarrh, Asthma, Hay Fever, Coughs, Head-
ache, Bronchitis, LaGrippe, etc., yield to its influ-
ence with marvelous rapidity.
This inhaler lasts from one to three years.
Trial size inhaler, 15 cents; large size inhaler,
$1.00. All druggists or by mail.
