Abont Increased Cost of Living.

&SSA III
o reports Of the government bu-
reaus vary so much that the people
becoming suspicious about them. Tha
washington Post observes tina. the
authorities OF the Bureau of Labor
have experienced a change of heart
When the campaign was in progress"
says the Post. the bulletin OF the bu-
e explained at great length how he
o s OF living and the average wage
mad increased IN the same proportion.
The explanation seemed a little un
certain, it is true. and most peonie
were inclined % believe the Demo
cratic assertion that prices for the nee
essi.ies OF life has risen, while wages
remained practically at a ~standstilI
The question was, however, left Unset
tied, except so far as il related To the
experience Of each individual.
Now we are learning the truth. The
present cost of living, according to this
same bureau of labor. is largely In ex-
cess OF the figures OF three or four
years ago. while wages have o cor
respondingly assembled. Beef. bread
eggs. chickens, fish, milk, mutton
lamp, pork-in fact, nearly everything
that goes upon the table-costs more
today than ii did two or three years
ago. No reason is given for this adj
vance. The authorities content them
selves with giving the figures, adding
the patent assertion that the earnings
OF employees now purchase less food
than formerly. 1t is TO he hoped THAI
the investigation into this interesting
question will be continued. A scoca OF
Inquiries suggest themselves. Are We
increasing u population so rapidly
as 70 cause a dimlnution of the food
supply? Are We exporting products
which are needed for home consump-
ton? Or is the price arbitrarily RAISED
by combinations controlling tae nee
e~ssitieS of Iife.-Raleigh Post.
