Speaking generally, the country is
In high state of prosperity. There is
every reason to believe that we are on
the eve of substantial business ex-
panslon. and we have just garnered a
huryest 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 a measure OF value, fur
nishes 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 q proportionate increase in
acreage production. may furnish 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-
tion.

ON THE COST OF LIVING
Some Reflections the Reasons for Higher Prices Necessities from the
 Standpoint of a Sojourner in the Capital
BY F, J. DYER

San Francisco long ago made use of most of its sweepings in this way on the barren sand dunes in Golden Gate park, where even pine trees could not find soil sustenance, and the experiment proved satisfactory. The tides and the waves will be harnessed to run factories, rail roads and even ships, perhaps by wire less transmission. Waste land contigu- Ous to cities will be turned into indus trial settlements, where toilers in the cities can live because of low fares granted them, and raise on their little plots of ground much of the food that goes on their tables.
 The Worst to Come
 It will not sound like the opinion of an optimist when l say that l believe we have not yet reached the crest of the high price era. With what is generally conceded to be a state of prosperity, there will without doubt be general advance all along the line in the cost of farm products, clothing, fuel, and almost everything that the "ultimate consum- CT" must have. As long as that ulti- mate consumer is employed he will sue. ceed somehow in meeting the demands upon him. But it is pretty certain that there will be depression again some day, as there was two years ago. Then will be time when the question of the cost of living will be serious, for wages generally drop and employment gives out before the prices of commodities decrease, It does not require political economist or a doctor of philosophy to see that. Every man and every woman knows it. The only question seems to be the one which was asked so often dur. ing the fixing of the tariff, namely: "Who is the ultimate consumer7" That is question that l am not going to answer.
 How They Do It in Europe
 Regarding the cost of living and the utilizing of waste, the bureau of manu- facturers recently gave some data. First, let us consider the cost of living.
 Felix s. s. Johnson, U. s. consul at Bergen, Norway, informs the state de- partment that the cost of living for a young man acquiring the language while studying abroad, has been deter

mined by the National Association at Paris to be as follows:
 England, board, not including lunch and washing, $29.20 per month in Lon don, or $26.24 in the smaller English towns; in Germany, board, not includ- ing washing, $35.70 in Berlin and from $19.40 to $23.S0 in the smaller towns; Spain, full board in family, S24.l5 to $29.lS in the cities or Madrid, Barce Iona and Malaga; Portugal, board and washing in Lisbon, $2S.95; Italy, full board in families in Rome, Milan, Leg horn and Florence, from $l5.ii in the latter city to $3S.60 in Milan; Austro. Hungary, $24.36 for board in the small CT towns to $40.60 in Vienna; Russia, including service, heat and light, $3S.60 to $52.11 in St. Petersburg, $27.02 10 , $26.67 in Moscow; in Mexico, including washing, $42.50 in Mexico City; Uru- quay, board and lodging in Mor'cvideo, S29,l5 to $31.0S; Argentina, washing not included, $57.90.
 In order to compare this with condi- tiOns at home, it may be stated that the same authority gives the cost of living in q boarding house in New York city, without lunch or washing, at $30SS to $39.60 per month.
 With regard to the utilizing of waste, I have no intention of going into that subject exhaustively, but as an indica- tion of the method which, as applied in Chicago packing houses, is said to save all the hog except the tail and the squeal, l quote paragraph, also from the consular reports:
 Sausage in Germany is made of chopped meat and fat, liver, lung, heart, brain, rind of bacon, often with the ad- dition of spices, salt, saltpeter, grits, bread crumbs, rice, raisins, etc, filled in intestines, stomachs and bladders Most sausage is made of pork, although beef, horse and mule meat, mutton, goose and game liver, and sometimes even fowls, fish and crabs are used
 It may be said in this connection that they had gone farther in Europe in the utilizing of certain articles for food than we are likely to go in the United States for a long time to come, especial reference being made to the use of dog and horse meat.
