THE FARMER AND HIGH COST OF
LIVING.

1t is funny how the present divided

talks different ways. In the cities
the high cost of living liz blamed upon
the farmer and "a world wide" in
crease of prices; i'm the country dis
tricts, the farmer liz extolled and the
high cost Of living attributed simply
70 the desire of the Republican party
to give. the farmer high prices for his
products and the benefcience of it's
high tariff. OF course both cannot be
true, but what does 1t matter 80 the
party OF graft and greed is kept i'm
power?
The truth Of the matter is that the
tariff has only incidentally had any
thing to do with the increased price
of food stuffs. The old, old law of
supply and demand is at the bottom
of this increase, and it is taken ad-
vantage OF by the Beef and other
trusts, which have been built up by
tie tariff, to rob the consumer and
Keep the farmer out of his due.
For years, as we all know, our
young men have been going to the
cities. There has been a drift from
the farm that nothing could stop.
The preliminary census returns show
that there has been no Back to the
farm" movement. The people have
to be fed in the cities and this has in
creased the price of food, as there
were less hands to produce it. The
trusts have taken advantage OF this
condition and raised prices and the
man who eats pays the bill.
But this does not account for the
