living is but the product of civiliza-
ton, however, ard is something to be
encouraged rather than discouraged.
Furthermore, 1t is responsible in but
a small degree for the increase in the
cost of living. The increase in the
standard of living has manifested it.
self most strongly in better houses,
better clothing and more conveniences.
Yet the great increase in cost has been
not In these materials, but In food.
Between July /, 1896, and Jan. 1. 1910,
breadstuffs and live stock increased in
price l08 per cent. During the same
period the increase in the textiles was
T3 per cent. in metals 65 per cent and
in building materials only 10 per cent.
That luxurious living has had much
to do with the increased prices cannot
be denied. That 1t is wholly RESPONSE
BILE is far from the truth.
II we are to seek the real cause of
this crisis that confronts our country
we must go back to the old cause of
supply and demand. coupled with other
factors that have grown out OF this
The period from 1870 to 1895 was the
period Of development of the middle
west, the bread basket Of the world.
Here were lands of unparalleled fer
tility that had merely to be scratched
to give forth their bountiful supplies.
The result was that the markets of the
world were flooded with foodstuffs.
BY 1896 the middle west was pretty
well settled. The bloom Of its virgin
fertility had been removed. Soon the
days of using corn for fuel and wheat
to feed the hogs were past Prices of
farm products began to rise. If there
had been no other factor entering in
they would soon have reached nor
NAL level, and the REIMBURSEMENT would
have come with little trouble. Unfor-
tunately the tide of population toward
the cities had become too strong to be
turned in a day.
From 1880 to 1900 the percentage of
farmers decreased from 44.3 to 1916,
a decrease of 81 per cent. During the
same period the percentage of persons
engaged in manufacturing increased
from 21.S to Dab. This increase Of 2.5
per cent is no more than normal and
may be accounted for by the increase
in the standard of living and the con-
sequent demand for manufactured ar
ticles. The increase in professional
lines during this time was eight-tenths
of per cent. while the number of per-
sons engaged in domestic and personal
service decreased one-tenth of l per
cent
The great increase came in the num-
Der of persons engaged in trade and
transportation, an increase Of 90 per
cent. OF the 1853 per cent Of the work
ing people engaged in trade and trans
portation in 1900 only nine-tenths were
engaged in transportation proper. The
others. 1914 per cent of all the people
of the United States who work, were
simply middlemen. Complete figures
since 1900 are not available, but the
cityward trend has increased rather
than diminished.
Here is the true explanation of the
high cost Of living. There are more
than one-third as many men engaged
in distributing food as there are in
producing it. The consumers dollar
is worn thin before it gets to the pro-
Queer The 100000 men who farm
must supply food to the 100000 peo-
pie who are working in the factories.

BACK.
TO THE,
FARM"

TAHE high cost of living. or the
cost of high living" as James
J. Hill puts it, is a subject
which just now is engrossing
the attention of the entire nation. The
cost Of the necessaries of life has been
steadily increasing since 1896 The
symptoms have been viewed with in
creasing alarm by nearly all classes.
Within the last year the matter has
reached an acute stage. The average
increase in the cost of necessities from
Jan. /. 1909, to Jan. /, 1910, was 1T
per cent. The increase over July /,
1896, was CT per cent.
The wage and salary earners In the
cities have seen the dread line" grad
ually drawing closer. The margin be-
tween income and expenses, narrow at
best, has shrunk to the vanishing
point. All this while newspapers have
been shouting prosperity. forgetful of
the old maxim that ''the real prosperi-
ty of a nation is the citizens margin
of saving"
Whatever the cause of this increase
in the cost of necessities and comforts.
there are but two ways in which the
citizen as an individual can meet it.
The first is to increase his income,
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1910-09-10

and the second is to lower his stand
ard Of living. The wage Garner, band
ed together with his fellows in a I'M
ion, has been able to increase his
scale of wages TO some extent. though
not nearly enough to fill the gap be-
tween income and expenses. The wage
Garner who does not belong to a un-
ion has profited to some extent by the
general rise in wages. though not so
much as the union man.
The salaried man has borne the hard
est brunt of the rising prices. He be-
longs to no union, and his demands for
increased pay have brought little re-
spouse.
All classes that are compelled to
work for living have had to turn to
the other alternative in q greater or
less degree. They have been forced to
lower their standard of living. The
first item to be attacked is the food
supply. Russell Sage once said, LAS
the cost of living increases the use of
meat decreases, the proportion of dark
rooms increases and child labor be-
comes plentiful" Less meat means
poorer nourishment, less resistance to
disease and higher death rate. Other
foods of cheaper quality are used.
Oleomargarine takes the place of but
ter. Cold storage eggs are a luxury
and fresh eggs unknown, and cheaper
brands of canned goods are used.
Aside from food, the big item of ex-
pense in the city is rent In order to
keep up with the increased cost of
things property owners have been fore
ed to raise rents. The frenzied crowd
ing of the people TO the cities has en-
abled landlords to make these increas-
ed rents effective. The result is that
a house with porch and q bit OF lawn
has become a luxury, and more and
more the middle classes, the classes on
whom prosperity should react most IA
vorably, have been forced into flats
and apartment houses. The poorer
classes have moved into tenements.
The high cost of room has made crowd
ing inevitable. Human beings have
been forced to herd together like cat
tie or worse The modern dairy barn
is a palace beside some Of the tene-
ments that pass muster as human hab-
itatiOns.
Many causes have been advanced by
economists and others TO account for
the rise in prices Many blame the
tariff, but that will not explain why
prices are rising nearly as rapidly in
England as in the United States. The
economists favorite reason is in the
increase in the supply OF gold Money
is becoming cheaper, he says, and
therefore II takes more of it to buy
q given amount of any commodity
This explanation sounds very plausi
BILE, but It does not explain the fact
that prices have at other times gone
down in the face of increased gold
production. The gold supply is un-
questionably a factor influencing ris-
ing prices. That 1t is the fundamental
factor may well be doubted.
} Other writers try to lay the whole
trouble to the growing extravaganza
Of the American people and to the In
creased standard of living. 1t is truc
that at the present time we regard as

ries This increase in thesIandard OF
