Conclusion.

have thus. IN a message compressed
as much as the subjects will permit. re-
ferred 70 many Of the legislative needs
OF the country, with the exceptions al
ready noted. Speaking generally, the
country Is in a high state OF prosperity.
we are on the eve OF a substantial
business expansion, and we have just
garnered a harvest UneXampled in the
market value OF our agricultural prod
ucts.
The high prices which such products
bring mean great prosperity for the
farming community. but. On the other
hand, they mean a very COnsidera bly,
Increased burden upon those classes in
TIE community whose yearly cOmpensa-
ton does not expand with the improve
ment in business and the general pros
perity. Various reasons are given for
the high prices. The proportiOnate in
crease in the output Of gold, which to-
day IS the chief medium Of exchange
and Is IN some respects a measure Of
value. furnishes a substantial expla-
nation OF at least part Of the Increase in
prices. The increase In population and
The more expensive mode OF living 81
the people, which have not been &C
companied by a proportionate increase
in acreage production, may furash a
further reason.
II is well to note that the increase
in the cost Of living IS not confined 10
this country. but prevails the world
over, and that those " no would charge
increases in prices to the existing pro
tective tariff must meet the fact that
The rise In prices has taken place ale
most wholly IN those products OF the
factory and farm in respect 10 which
there has been either no increase ln
the tariff or in many instances a very
considerable reduction.
