THE FACT ABOUT PRICES.

II is not the most fascinating Of all conceiva-
lie tasks to study and compile long columns or
prjces and extract from them their meaning.
Yet there Is 10 other way TO determine with
scientific accuracy whether those tell the truth
who assert that IAN outrageous monopoly tarH
has i'm fact enhanced the cost of living ana
cspecaly Of manufactured products. or those
others who assert that the country Is suffering
from lack Of money and "plundered by the gold
monopolists" through refusal Of free-slver coin
age 1t is not hard 10 make vociferous asser-
TONS for those who are so constituted as TO be-
lieve Just what they want 10 believe. But
thousand volumes full of such assertions would
not be worth one cent in comparison with the
quotations Of market prices which are printed
every day
The tables need only to be read with due re-
gard to the relative importance of different ar
ticles and compared with similar market quota
tons of previous dates. Before the writer are
ia bles comparing prices Of more than three hun
dred articles at different dates which, If printed,
would fill several pages Of The Tribune the
relative importance of each article being al
lowed according TO its actual consumption in
this country. The total cost of the same guam
titles of the various articles at different dates
represents the actual effect of a rise or fall in
prices upon the business of the country or the
cost Of living more accurately than 1t can be
determined by any other method yet devised.
This method has been frequently explained in
The Tribune. and the articles quoted for all
dates include breadstuffs. meats. dairy, garden
and orchard products; sugar, molasses, liquors.
tobacco, fish. salt and spices, tea and coffee, cot
ton and wool and many representative products
OF each, ten quotations Of hides. ten OF leather
and twelve of boots and shoes. with others Of
silk and india-rubber; iron and steel and the
more important Of their products, with copper,
lead tinplates coal and petroleum; lumber of
various kinds. glass and glassware. brick lime,
hemp, paper, soap, eleven varieties Of paints.
two Of fertilizers and over sixty of drugs and
chemicals Ii Is obviously impossible to say
with truth that prices of commodities as a
whole have advanced or declined If prices Of
such a range of commodities taken together
have not
The verdict which such tables render is that
SO 43 would buy the same quantities and quail
ties Of all articles on August | which SO S0la
would buy on July ~. 1897, the day the Dinglcy
tariff went into effect Practically the whole Of
this slight difference. or 10 cents occurred in
the cost of articles of the sugar class. including
liquors and tobacco and taxed articles Of food.
Omitting them from the list. all other commodi-
ties were practically of the same cost on August
] and a little lower on September than when
the present tariff was enacted. The following
shows the cost of the same quantities and quail
ties of all commodities quoted by classes. ac-
cording 10 the market quotations at that date
and on August ]. September and October I
