LOWER LIVING EXPENSES.
A Future Prospect which should Not
Retard Present Hustle.

chicago N6Wbs
Secretary Wilson's prediction that the
great crops raised this year will result In
a marked lowering of the cost OF living to
the consumer is OF vital interest TO every
body and to none more than to the man
with a fixed income. The salaried worker,
It is generally agreed, has derived the
least bepett from the recent period Of pros
perity. His pay has remained stationary
or nearly so. His rent. his coal, kerosene,
clothes meats and groceries have steadily
increased In price. No one who bears the
expense Of maintaining a household can
have failed to note these things.
Considering the abundance OF the yield
on the western farms, some decline in prices
seems reasonable, though whether IL will
be as marked as Secretary Wilson seems TO
expect Is a question that can be answered
only by experience. The farmer probably
will get less for his wheat and corn. and
in view OF the size OF the corn crop the
cattle grower presumably should be able
to fatten his cattle at a lower cost These
factors will count in the long run. but the
cautious customer will not expect the re-
suits 10 manifest themselves too early.
Prices respond quickly 70 all influences
tending toward a rise, but they are much
less likely to fall quickly. Each one OF the
middle men through whose hands a COM
modify passes on its way from producer
70 consumer Il glad OF chance 10 put up
prices and is loath 10 lower them
Add TO these considerations the fact that
the railways and corporations controlling
the machinery Of distribution viii not will

sons for believing the reduction In living

Rate Making and Rate Regulation.
Wall Street Journal.

Political rate-making for railroads" Is
the term used by former Secretary Richard
Olney in an article on the question of gov
eminent control of railroad rates. Mr.
Olney makes the same error in the dis
cussion of this question that so many other
opponents OF President Roosevelt's policy
fall into. What is proposed is not rate
making at all. Under system Of govern
ment control such as proposed by the presi-
dent, the railroads would continue to make
rates the same as1they do now The Roose-
welt proposition Is the regulation of rates,
which is something very different indeed.
The railroads would make rates. and all
that the government would do would be to
change such rates as were found to be
inequitable, after due investigation ana
trial. and to put equitable rates in their
places.

Dr. Wiley of the Agricultural department
has prepared an interesting report on the
manner of making liquors and wines abroad.
Judging from its contents most of them are
rank. Most Scotch whisky that in exported
to this country. the report says, is blended
with grain spirit made from corn. Irish
WHISTLES are also mixed with this sort OF
alcohol. especially at Belfast.
The doctor says the British law allows
English manufacturers to make any sort Of
a mixture at all with liquors intended for
expectation. It &c recommended that certi-
ficates from our consuls be required to the
effect that goods exported to this country
are similar to goods Intended for British
consumption, which have to be pure. The
British manufacturer can put any kind
of a label he chooses on his product.
The German law permits the addition of
sugar and straight alohol to liquor and to
increase their spirituous qualities. In
France the making of artificial wine is not
permitted except for home consumption.
Dr. Wiley says that the character of
brandies sent to the United States depends
upon the integrity of the merchants. The
report states that foreign manufacturers
are greatly interested in our new inspec-
ton law and are endeavoring to comply
with 1t.

Various officials of the Treasury depart
ment are urging Secretary Shaw to recon-
mend to congress at the coming session an
appropriation to replace all the sandstone
used in the east front of the treasury build
ing with granite, and Secretary Shaw has
the matter under advisement. The super
vising architect of the treasury has been
consulted, and his estimate is that It will
take $3.50 900 to do the work. His opinion
is that II the sandstone is not replaced
before great while some serious accident
may happen the sandstone crumbles
away in big pieces at times.
Three or four years ago the sandstone
plates that held the upper part OF the giant
pillars began crumbling so fast that II was
found necessary to take them out alto
gether, and replace them with steel plates
If this had not been done the entire upper
part of the portico might have fallen in any
minute Since then pieces OF the cornices
have fallen away. and. worse than all. prac-
tically all OF the balustrade above the por-
tico crumbled to pieces, and had to be re-
placed with wooden imitation pieces. The
east front is, therefore, a patched up affair
composed of sandstone. steel plates, and
wooden balustrade. The patching contin-
ues, as It is necessary to be making repairs
at all times. An inspector goes over that
part VI NHS llBul hluHB.
BY replacing the sandstone cast front
with granite the entire outer portion of
the treasury will then be OF granite. and
will last almost as long as time. The
present sandstone portions OF the building
were erected between 1912 and 1890, and
have never been painted. IT is paint that
keeps out the dampness and preserves the

The White House is built of Virginia
sandstone, and architects say that decay
in the building has been prevented only

other processes. and looked cleaner than It
has ever looked before. The east front
OF the old portion OF the capitol is built
Of sandstone from down in Virginia. and
this, too. has been preserved by paint
The sandstone portion OF the east front
of the treasury is represented only IN the

veloped on the north and west sides by
