expansion ana We have jugt Rarnered =
q harvest unexampled in the market i
value of our agricultural products. +.
The high prices which such products
bring mean great prosperity for the =
community, but, on the other r.
hand they mean a very considerably =
burden upon those classes in
community whose yearly compen- !,
iation does not expand with the i'm 4
provement IN business and the general !
prosperity Various reasons are given r.

J tho cost of living Il not confined to ne
his country but prevails the world gr

'ctive tariff must meet the fnct that 90

lost wholly in those products Of fac ~
,ry and farm in respect to which 10
has been either no Increase In tn
le tarin or In many Instances a very
lnsiderabie reduction" Ia
