THE SPREAD OF TIE CHOLERA.

The startling official report Of the United
States Consul at Hamburg that the cholera
prevalent there is Of the deadly Asiatic type,
coupled with the news that many parties of
Hebrews from Odessa are on their way to this
country, intcnsifies American interest in the
progress of the scourge. According to Eugene
Sues grewsome novel, the cholera dogs the
footsteps of the Wandering Jew; but its pres
ent swift career has nothing in common with
primitive methods of locomotiOn The great
Bengal outbreak Of 1917, which European
physicians first carefully studied, took six years
to spread into Asia Minor and Russia. In
1880 it rcappcared in Persia, and during 1881
ravaged Western Europe, reaching America
only in 1892 A second great epidemic, that
bro kc out in India and China in 1871. passed
through Europe to America in 1913. A third,
started in the East in 1880, entered Europe in
1853, and was specially destructive in North
and South America. But this year the tale OF
death in Persia and Turkcstan is closely fol-
lowed by authenticated reports OF unusually
malignant eruptions in all parts of European
Russia. with Il vircnt contagion and fear
fully high death-rate and from Russia it has
appal entity passed with bound into Northern
Germany.
Both these serious features are, of course,
easily explainablc. Receiving its first impetus
among the unclean hordes of pilgrims at the
sacred city of Mcshcd, the disease quickly
spread into Turkcstan, and was carried west
along the old caravan route toward the Cas-
plan, but with the added facility offered by the
railroads constructed since the last epidemic.

prices of all articles included in the table. But
this occurred in part because no quotations
were obtained OF some miscellaneous articles
and some articles of clothing, which had not
changed in price at all. II all these had been
included, the decline in prices of all articles
would have been slightly less--not quite 10
per cent.
Again, tho statement Of prices does not in
clude rents, for reasons stated, nor expenditures
for taxes amusemcnts, education or religious
purposcs These expenditures do not depend
upon uriccs Of commodities. and excepting rent
mqy be fairly rcckonrd unchanged during the
period in question. The rents of houses OF
tho better class, either owned or occupied by
about half the population, had been somewhat
advanced but there was no advance in the
great majority OF houses actually rented. III
the I. n al value Of all houses owned were in
cludcd as part Of the cost of living, the item
Of r?nt would have been increased about
per cont. and rs these represent about sixth
Of the total expenditures, the aggregate OF all
expenses would have been increased not quito
/ per cent.
When all these elements OF the cost Of living
arc included the aggregate in 1892 was at
least per cent lower than in 1889. a largo
part Of this decline was due to the lower prices
of food products, on account OF the extraor-
dinary production in 1891, and the removal
Of duties on sugar. After careful com
pariSon it may be said that nearly half the
decrease in aggregate expenses was due to
Ncsc causes while more than half, or between
4 and per cent, was due to the chcapening
Of other than farm products Almost the whole
Of this latter decrease in expenses was due to
the fall in prices of manufactured articles, which
are mainly products of protected industries.
There is no room for dispute as to the gen
cral decline in these products. Out of 137
quotations Of articles other than food, o. are
unchanged, 50 that the percentage OF decline
in all such articles small, but every article
except ono which changed at all in retail price
was lower in 1892 than in 1899, and tho do
cline in almost a third Of the number was con-
siderable. A large majority of all articles OF
clothing were lower. whilo in other articles the
changes were comparatively few, but not one
showed an advance.
The conclusion to which these quotations
point is precisely the one warranted by the
report Of the Senate Finance Committee, name
Is, that in manufactured products there has
been no advance, but in a considerable part of
them a decline in retail prices, owing to more
active competition of American producers. Be
yond this it is not necessary to 60, if the only
object il to confute and confound the reason
ing of Free Traders But with reference to the
purchasing power Of wages. II may be broadly
stated that 80 in 1892 would buy more of all
products than $40 in 1889. and that 80 20
would cover larger expenditures, rents and all
other items of expense included, than $40 in
1889.
