Hamburg Dec. 8.-The explosion of

Postal Savings Banks.

inducement to thrift and saving to

opportunity for the accumulation Of

Conclusion.

Speaking generally, the country is
in a high state of prosperity. There is
every reason to believe that we are on
the eve of a substantial business eX-
pansion, and we have just garnered a
harvest uneXampled in the market val
ue of our agricultural products. The
high prices which such products bring
mean great prosperity for the farming
community; but, on the other hand,
they mean very considerably increas-
ed burden upon those classes in the
community whose yearly compensation
does not expand with the improvement
in business and the general prosperity.
Various reasons are given for the high
prices. The proportionate increase in
the output of gold, which today is the
chief medium of exchange and is in
some respects measure of value, fur
nishes a substantial explanation of at
least part of the increase in prices.
The increase in population and the
more expensive mode of living of the
people, which have not been accom-
panied by a proportionate increase in
acreage production, may furnish a fur
Their reason. 1t is well to note that the
increase in the cost Of living is not
confined to this country. but prevails
the world over. and that those who
would charge increases in prices to the
existing protective tariff must meet
the fact that the rise in prices has
taken place almost wholly in those,
products of the factory and farm in
respect to which there has been either
no increase in the tariff or in many
instances a very considerable reduc-
