The Increased Cost of Livinu.

The Boston Globe thinks that our
prosperity should be looked at from all
sides. It is not altogether a question
of work. If a man work harder than
ever and have less surplus, because
he must pay more for the necessaries
of life, is he prosperous? The Globe,
after setting out in detail increase of
prices, says:
"All these increases in prices since
the year 1896, when Mr. Bryan first
ran for the presidency, are significant.
Since that year the householders GER
tainly have not prospered so far as
moderate prices for food are con-
cerned. The meat and other food
trusts have had their way and de-
manded and received exorbitant rates.
Should there not have been some i'm
provement in this matter in a dozen
years Of Republican rule in the ma
ton? The trouble now Is that the
purchasing power of a dollar is far
less than in past years. In 1890 a dol
lar would purchase 7.S1 pounds Of
fresh beef, and the same in 1896, but
in 1907 it would only purchase SAT
pounds. For the United States, as a
whole, the average cost Of food per
family in 1890 was $31S.20. In 1896,
the year of lowest prices, it fell to
$296.76; in 1907 1t reached the highest
point of the 1S-year period named, be-
ing $374.75."

GEORGE ON THANKSGIVING

Thanksgivin' day comes once a year because the
Pilgrim band
Was thankful that they had the sense to leave
their native land
And come across the sea to find a stern and rock
bound shore
Where they would never haft to bow to bosses
emmy more,
Where thieves would not break in and steal and
trusts would never try
To gobbIe everything and let the little dealer die.
We celebrate Thankssivin' day because the Pill
grims came
In search of freedom where they knew that they
would find the same,
Where men would be as brothers, where the
strong would aid the weak,
Where Iibburty would raise her flag on every
cras and peak,
Where biIIionaires would never dare to. cheat
Or break the laws that other men were not al
lowed to break.
We celebrate because the hopes hoped by that
Pilgrim band
Have all come true, because there's not an evil
in our land,
Because we have no wealthy rogues to plan and
plot and scheme
To make the libburty we claim a vain and empty
dream,
Because our masnates go to church and teach
in Sunday schools,
And everywhere from sea to sea the Christian
spirit rules.
We keep Thankseivin' day because the man who
does his best
To be an honest citizen is honored by the rest;
He may not have a share of stock or own a foot
of land,
But all our wealthy senators are glad to shake
his hand
And hear his plea and guard his rights with all
the ielIus care
They ever give the interests of any millionaire.
We keep the good old day because no idle rich
ignore
The pressing needs of those where Want is
scratching at the door,
Because we have such freedom as the Pilgrims
wished to claim,
Because we never are oppressed and never
splotched with shame,
Because we've frightened Greed away and raised
our standard high
And kept the faith for which our sires we're not
afraid to die.
