FIGHTING HIGH PRICES.

With regard 10 the movement which
is taking form in this city against the
prevalent high prices of the necessities
Of life, The Tribune heartily says. more
power to 1t! There is no question in
the world hut the prices of necessary
foods are beyond all reason, cxtortion-
ate. The grand Jury impanelcd here
failed TO fix the responsibility, There
does not seem to be any exact location
of this responsibility except that the
middlemen who are in charge are reap
ing tie harvest. The combines. the
agreements, and the absolute fixing Of
prices by sel6sh interests are the causo
of the prevailing high prices. There
is TO doubt in the world about this,
but to put finger upon the individual
or list of individuals who do the evil
work-that is the trouble.
An instance in point was shown here
not long ago during tho duck season.
Ducks were held at unrcasouably high
prices. The people did not respond in
demand as expected. A good many
ducks spoiled on the hands of the deal
ers, and yet there was not the slightest
disposition evidenced to make a de.
crease in prices, Such decrease in
price would have increased the demand
and would have saved the loss of the
ducks, but the combine which controlled
this matter was willing TO let the ducks
spoil rather than consent to an abate-
ment in price. This is perhaps an ex-
treme case, but it is fairly representa-
tive Of the general condition that dc.
mands such excessive prices for food
products.
A statement in another part of to.
days paper from those interested in the
movement to abatc prices directs atten-
tion 10 the practicability Of farmers
bringing IN their produce and selling il
from their wagons. This is feasible,
and ought to be done. Hitherto, how
ever, the difficulty has been that this
was done in scattered way, and people
generally didn t know just whore to
find the wagons; and the consequence
was that good many of the farmers
failed TO sell all OF what they brought
in. They then reverted TO the sale to
the dealers who would take their whole
wagon load and free them at one trans.
action from delay and uncertainty. If
the farmers have to be encouraged to
sell from their wagons as we think they
ought TO be, (and we think also that
this would do good deal toward the
breaking up of the combine,) there
would have TO be designated place
where they can be found. and the de-
mand would have to be such as to as.
sure the farmers reasonable certainty of
selling what they bring in An ar
rangement Of this kind would undoubt-
edly be to the advantage both of the
farmer and OF the buyer But il would
have TO be put on a practical basis, as
suring the farmers of sales, and also
assuring the consumers of advantage in
this form of purchase.
And that is the problem of those who
have this matter in hand-to arrange
to bring the farmer and the household
buyer together, so that the extortionate
combine can be ignored, and both tho
farmer and the city consumer receive
the benefit that ought TO accrue to both
from hrst-hand dealing.
