What have the gentlemen who in.
sist that the cost of living has not
increased to say about the recently is
sued annual report of Bridagier Cen
eral J. F. Weston, commissary general
of the United States army, in which it
is shown that it costs nearly twice as
much in 1904 to feed each American sol
der as it cost in 1898? Will they say
now that the cost of living has not in
creased since 1898? If, so how do theyt
explain the increased per capita cost
of feeding our soldiers? ..
In 1898 the food of the American
soldier cost Is cents a day. During
the fiscal year covered by General
Westerns report the cost was "a Ills
cents per day per man. Nobody pre-
tends that the soldier is being given
better food in 1904 than he was giyen
in 1898; nobody pretends that he is eat
ing more. The man is poor American
who would begrudge to the soldier any
lHlnS lup SON dllo"o hilh oiiA
more. but the fact remains that the
same food costs the nation twice as
much today as it did six years ago.
What makes the difference? Surely
our Republican friends are not willing
to admit that somebody is rObbing the
government in the matter of the pur-
chase of the food supplies for soldiers.
Yet the other horn of the dilemma IS
the very point upon which the RepuD-
licans least desire to be impaled. The
predicament is indeed tying one for
them. Review the situation for MON
ent, if you please.
The government buys its supplies
far more cheaply than individual
consumer can possibly buy them. IL
the first place. the nation makes it:
purchases in tremendously large guam
titles. A great deal of food is require
to feed nearly 10000 men three time
the competition for government foo'
contracts is keen, where there is an,
competition at all, for there is no poss
blity of a loss. The dealer is sure t
receive his money if he furnishes hOr
est goods.
Now is not the fact that the govern
ment is compelled to pay nearly tWlc
as much for food for its soldiers as
did a few years ago an absolute den
onstration of the fact that the cost {
living has increased tremendously?
