trade. One is the rigid enforcement
of the Pure Food law and the other
is a shOrtness of crop in certain arti-
cles.
The Pure Food law has withdrawn
from the market almost entirely the
cheaper canned goods, which depend
ed for their price on adulterants and
preservative ingredients.
Sulphur has been put on the
banned list, and the California trade
has been cut in two. The local driers
have great difficulty in obtaining
fruit because the farmer of to-day OBJ
tains better prices from three sources.
He sells his fruit fresh, or he sells it
to the canner,> or he stores it himself
and takes advantage of rise in
price.
The pie fiend is to suffer, too.
Wholesale prices on pies will be in
creased as follows: Ten cent pies, to
fourteen cents; twelve cent pies, to
sixteen cents; fourteen cent pies, to
eighteen cents.
With the exception of tomatoes all
sections report short crops every
where for the current season. Apples
were scarce; peaches, berries, vegeta-
bles generally fell off. The Columbia
River salmon catch was the smallest
in its recent history, and there are
few Shellfish for canning anywhere.
The wholesale price for milk set forth
in trade circulars has increased about
three-Quarters of cent since August
T. This raise has not been reflected
in the retail prices of a majority of
the dealers. Only one firm has an
nounced an increase of from eight
cents to nine cents quart, but it is
thought the others will act soon.
Causes assigned for this are bad
season and the rigid enforcement of
new rules by the Board of Health.
The wholesale price of butter has
increased from twenty-five to thirty
cents a pound since August 1, and
that means retail price of from thir-
ty-five to forty, according to the mer-
chant and the district in which he
does business. The high cost of but
ter is ascribed to two things. One,
of course, is the scarcity of milk, and
the other is the oleomargarine law.
Before the oleomargarine law went
into force substitute for butter
could be purchased. Since the law in
New York has put it out of the mar
ket, butter has been the only thing
In all the long list of necessaries ON
the trade lists only three things were
quoted at the same price as on August
| /, of this year. These were tea,
coffee and sugar
The fashionable restaurants have
not increased their prices, but there
is no telling when this will be done.
The season is just beginning for the
great establishments like Delmon-
ico's, Sherry's, Martins and the
Waldorf, and their prices will depend
on their patronage.

Immediately after the dedicatory
ceremonies, President Roosevelt and
party visited the interior of the tomb.
Next went the invited guests, and
then the general public, the process
sion continuing until dark.
The tomb, built at cost of over
100000, is the donation of over a
million Americans. 1t now holds the
bodies of President Mckinley and
Mrs. Mckinley and their only chill
dren, Ida and Mary, who died in in
fancy. The bodies of President and
Mrs. Mckinley are in bronze baskets
in the sarcophagi, while the bodies
of the children are in caskets placed
in inches in the wall. The tomb is a
work of simple art, designed by H.
Van Buren, Magonigle, of New York,
and Is situated on Monument Hill, a
high and picturesque spot, close to
President McKinley's old home in
Canton.
The monument is reached by a
flight of steps fifty-eight feet in width
in four runs, with wide landings be-
tween, making a total length of 200
/ feet.

COST OF FOOD INCREASED
From Beef to Prunes the Prices
Are 40 Per Cent. More.
But Three Exceptions to Bearer Com
modities in New York City Are
Tea, Coffee and Sugar.

New York City.-Americans will
pay more for food this winter than
ever before. From beef to prunes
the householder will be compelled to
expend from fifteen per cent. to forty
per cent. more for similar articles
than he did last year, and according
to dealers, wholesale and retail, the
end is nowhere in sight.
New York City is fast approaching
a famine standard, and until many
conditions, local and general, are
changed there can be no falling ia
prices. For every branch of the food
supply trade there is a different ex-
PLANTATION, and with the exception of
beef and eggs all increases are
aseribed to natural or general
causes.
For beef there is only the one rea-
son given-the Beef Trust has raised
it's prices, as it has the power to do,
and against that neither individual
nor community has any chance. 70
the same influence is ascribed the in
crease in the price of eggs. The
packers have cornered the Western
output, upon which New York city
primarily depends, and with this
great supply in storage is awaiting
the time when increased prices VIII

President Roosevelt in his speech,
after warm eulogy of President Nc
Kinley, IN which he said that the lat
ter had won the hearts of American
people as but three or four of all the
Presidents had done, decried both ar
rogance toward the weak and envious
hatred of the wealthy. He said that
1t would be a disaster to the coun-
try to adopt an attitude of envy to-
ward Success worthily won, toward
wealth honestly acquired. Every
manifestation of feeling of this kind
should be crushed by the weight of
sensible public opinion"
The President also said that the
war upon chicanery and wrongdoing
among wealthy men should go on
and that it was "a veritable calamity
to achieve temporary triumph by
violation or evasion of the law; we
are the best friends and the stanch-
est upholders of the rights of prop

The Presidents address was in
part as follows;
William Mckinley had to grapple
with more, serious and complex prob

coin; and yet, while meeting every
demand of craftsmanship, he contin-
ued to live beautiful and touching
family life. No other President has
ever more deserved to have his life

Not merely was he in personal
touch with farmer and town dweller,
with capitalist and wage worker, but
he felt an intimate understanding Of
each, and therefore an intimate sym
pathy with each; and his consistent
effort was to try to judge all with the
same justice. Surely, this attitude
of his should be the attitude of all
our people to-day. 1t would be a
