Why Prices are Higher.

Flush times encourage reckless buy
ing. Everybody. wants the choicest
goods that his money can buy. Those
impulses are strengthened which urge
peolpe who ought not to afford it to
show that they can live as well as
somebody in better circumstances. In
the case of meats alone the Armour
people point out that % per cent
of the demand is for 25 per cent of
the steer"-for the finest Gust.
Back of all disquieting statistics is
the fact that the American people
live better than they ever did before.
The advance has been constant for
years. Better clothes are worm
clothes have not become proportion
ately so dear as food-and the stan
dard of household comfort is greater
This is true even in New York, where
the increase of rentals, owing to To-
cal congestion, is abnormal as COM
pared with increases elsewhere.

Where There Will be no War.

After a solemn conference between
the American Commissioners and the
German Commissioners negotiating on
the subject, they have concluded that
there will be no Tariff war if there is
none. We think there will be none;
not because of this negotiation, but
because those of our products that
Germany wants and takes she must
have for her own good and for the
good of nobody else. She will take
them as long as she must have them.
If she could do without them she
wouldn't take them, commercial trea-
