THAT so,cALLED PROSPERITY.

When the presidential campaign Of
1908 is on in earnest the voters will
be given any amount of boast and
hrag and buster by the republican
spellbinders about our wonderful
prosperity. They will be told that the
country was never before in so slor-
ious condition, that our industries
hre working on full time, that every
body has Job and that wages are
higher than ever before. The peo-
pie have grown accustomed to that
story, and they may as well look for
its repetition.
But it is probable that the republi-
can campaign speakers will not dwell
very strongly at least on one phase
Of the general subject, and that is
The increase OF wages as compared
with the advance of living expenses
