THE FUTURE OF PRICES.

Andrew Carnegie has been telling British iron
and steel manufacturers that the signs of the times
point to higher prices for such great staples of in
dustry rather than lower in the future because
possible gains in the processes of production will
be more than offset by the increased cost of raw
material This is view seldom given publicly, but
upon the question from the practical standpoint of
veteran ironmaster but from the vantage ground or
a general student of men and things who know the
world we'll
1t is very interesting theory, and it may apply
to other basic elements in the industries of the
as well as to iron and steel The coal mines will
curely grow deeper and expensive to work
rather than less The supply of crude petroleum
and natural gas underground must decrease every
year. and the chances in favor of higher instead
of lower cost Of production of all these great staples
The thing is emphaticaliy true of lumber and
all forest products it is difficult to imagine how
animal food can become cheaper, after the great
waste plains of temperate zones taken up and
utilized as fully as may without the expense of
growing crops and sheterng f1ocks and herds.
The truth is that the world is likely to find the
cost of living increased by conditions of pro-
possible saving in other directions Hence the gen.
eral market level of prices taxing decades together
and covering the whole civilized world, is likely to
rise the purchasing power of money to decrease
accordingly This is directly contrary to the the
cries of the silver inatonists in 1896, but that is
nothing new. They have come to grief SO often and
in so many ways that another upset will not count
much. They are not taken seriously
