ful inquiry among the leading grocers
and food dealers of the city. The bare
necessities of life have risen in value. Ii
takes more money to acquire them and
the end is not yet in sight.
Prices have gone up generally all along
the line, and the man with many mouths
to feed has anything but an encouraging
prospect before him. as still further ad-
vances In things that must be had are
scheduled. Some OF these rises are at
tributed to natural causes, such as short
age m crops, but Others, and the more
important, are traced directly to the big
industrial combinations, whose peculiar
maneouvres have forced the scale of
prices on staple food products upward
until they have reached an almost pro-
hibitive figure for the masses OF the peo-
ple.-Baltimore Sun.
And yet some congressman will de-

is high time that the people were
having an understanding with their
mouthpieces in Washington.
