LIVING UP
II PER CENT
Special to the Record

| Special to the Record
Washington, Dec. 22.-Eleven per
cent is the amount of increase in the
cost of living during the last year.
inis figure represents the average in
crease in cost of ninety-six co-nmodi-
ties
President Taft felt called upon to
speak of the higa cost of living in
his recent message to Congress-, but
did not deal in figures. The figures
cited are authentic. having just been
issued by Bradstreet's and il is not
unlikely that the President was in
possession of them when he wrote his
message. The President pointed to
the great increase in the money sup
ply of gold as the prime cause of the
enormous advance in the cost of liv-
ing, and did not blame high tariff
rates for any portion of the increase.
Marked advances in the last year
nave taken place in breadstuffs, pro-
visions, livestock, hides and leather
and textiles. One of the noticeable
effects of Increased cost of living has
been the forced demand of labor for
higher wages. Wages, however, have
not advanced in proportion to tae
cost of living. The natural conclu-
sion and the only conclusion to be
reached is that the workingmen and
their families have been forced to a
trifie lower standard of living.
Dealing WITH wholesale prices,
Bradstreets shows that on December
!, the average price for ninety-six
commodities stood at 9.1262, against
S.2133 on the same date last year.
Here is a price advance of a little ov-
er II per cent. This increase has
enriched the beneficiaries of high tar
If rates, including manufacturers and
oil pp.a cd in, ftf.tix ix-a ont ,t-ic
es chiefly, and it is contended has
been a hardship ON the railroads be-
cause of tae fact the vast army of
railroad employees have been forced
20 demand higher wages.
Illustrating the price advance,
Bradstreets says:
Theoretically, a man going to the
wholesale market place to purchase a
pound of eaca of ninety-six articles
would have had to pay for the same
on December | this year about s.12
On March / last. like goods might
nave been purchased for nearly 81
cents less: while on December l, 1908
they were cheaper by 91.35 cents. At
the low level in June. 1908, similar
goods could have been obtained for
sl.4O under the present level"
The increases above dealt with re-
fer to the upward tendency in prices
during the last year. To appreciate
what a IL per cent increase in the
cost of living during the last year
really means, it is necessary to re-
call that the cost of living in 1907 av-
eraged 47.4 per cent more than in
1897.
While protectionists deny that the
hiSA Dngley rates have more tlaa a
nominal connection with the increas-
ed cost of living, a comparison of
food prices here and in England
shows that while prices have advanc
ed IL per cent under high protection
IN the United states, in one year, food
prices in free trade Great Britain ad-
vanced in the zen years between 1896
and 1906, but III per cent.
