FinanCierS Take COgnizanCe of
the Rise in Commodities.
THEY'RE SFFKING THE CAUSE

Credit, Gold Output, Trusts, and
Tariff Extravaganza Are Among
the Reasons Advanced. In Last
Few Years There Has Been an Adj
vance of Thirty-Five Per Cent. in
Cost to Consumer.
NEW YORK.-Rise in the cost of
living is not new subject of con-
troversy. The London Economists
well-known Index number" aver
aging commodity prices, had adj
yanced Is II per cent. between 1897
and 1904. But 1904 and the middle
of 1907, a period less than half as
long, there was a further rise of
nearly % per cent. Then came the
panic of 1907, and there were some
economic critics, though perhaps not
many, who ascribed the financial and
industrial breakdown to the intoler-
able burden of the cost of living.
1t had been the rule of past finan-
eial crises that in the industrial re-
necessaries not only went down, but
for years remained at a lower level.
The panic of 1907 brought re-
suit in some respects different.
There was, indeed, a sharp and
rapid fall. But the downward move
ment stopped only ten months after
the actual panic date, and the aver
age began to move up again.
Why Wall Street Is Interested.
During the past few weeks even
financial interests have begun to look
at the phenomenon with a somewhat
different feeling from that displayed
in 1906 and 1907. One reason was
that the thing seemed so abnormal
that experience gave no guidance to
its probable results Another was
the fact that along with this rapidly
rising cost of living came anothd'
phenomenon, similarly cOincident
with it in 1906, and directly signi-
ficant then to Wall street-evidence
of a strai14 on capital. A third rea-
son lay in the unpleasant remem-
brance of financiers of how cost of
raw material ate up profits of in
dustry three years ago.
Finally, as a very distinct remind
er, came the recent widespread de-
mand by railway and industrial la
borers for higher wages to offset the
cost of living Forced to consider
the problem as one with bearing
even on financial markets Wall
street is asking now in some bewild-
erment, what is the cause of this alb
normally quick return to oppressive
cost of living? Who or what is re-
1t?
Gold Output, Trusts, Tariff.
Various answers have been made
the gold output, the trusts, the tar
iff, the spectators, obstinacy of pro-
ducers, habitual extravaganza of con-
sumers, exhaustion or depletion Of
the country's natural resources.
Possibly there is some truth in all
of them Whatever else an increas-
ing gold output does, it certainly in
ereases bank reserves. Larger bank
reserves mean increased facilities for
credit, and credit is inva ~iably an inn
portant influence in advancing or
holding prices of commodities. Yet
there is this mtCh to be said, that
the worlds output is certainly not
Increasing at the pace of such years
as 1898 and 1899, or even 1904.
1t is doubted by many experts if this
years product as a whole will be
any larger than that of 1908. and
meantime the jacking-up of prices
continues as if the increase were
enormous.
The trusts have done their share

April 3, 1910.
Now Is the time for all good men
and true to come to the support of
their party" This is the text TO
which Pres. Taft Is preaching, and
which he is practicing with all his
might. And he is having a good effect
too. All party squabbles have been
abandoned for the time being, at
least so far as he is concerned, and
he is trying his best TO get as many
votes as possible, whether Insurgents
or not, behind the programme of bills
which he wants passed.
The President gave public express
sion to this desire in speech on
Saturday night, but he has been prac-
ticing it all the week, and for some
time before. When insurgents call
he asks them not to fight Cannon
till the bills are put thru. And they
have all promised to put off any
further fire works ON the Cannonism
question till that time, at least. When
the stand-patters come around, he re-
minds them that there have been
certain promises given, and that they
ought to forget their little prejudices
for the good of the party.
II seems that he is having a hard
81 time with the stand-patters than
with the insurgents. The latter are
after all the things that the party is
pledged to, and are fighting In the
open. The stand-patters some of them
are quite honest, and are fighting
against the party demands, either
openly-in very few cases-or sec
reilly in some of the underhand ways
which Congressman learn here. 1t
lis pretty safe bet here that if the
Taft programme does fall down, 1t
will not be because of the Insurgents.
In the Senate, however, one Insur-
gent, Cummins, has been making
trouble. An attempt was made to
rush the railroad bill, prepared with
| Taft's approval, thru without much
debate, and he spoiled the scheme.
He believes that the bill has been
doctored so that it will not accomplish
the things which everybody-includ-
ing Taft-wants. And he won't take
Taft's word that it is satisfactory,
but insists in fighting 1t all over him
self. So there, in one case, at least,
there is a real delay being caused by
an Insurgent.
Pres Taft's speech Saturday night
was intended as a sort of opening gun
of the campaign, and he was expect
ed to go after his enemies with Wig
or. He did nothing of the kind, how
ever, but made a plea for party har-
mony, and for the bills he is push
ing This had a good effect, and chan
ces for those bills are really improv-
ing The question is going to be how
much the bills are worth, when they
do get thru. There is no doubt that
I aft intends the best, but many of
his advisers are under suspicion.
On the same Saturday night, Attor-
ney General Wickersham made a
speech in Chicago in which he vigor-
orously defended the Administration.
He claimed that Taft had done all he
could to carry out the campaign Pied
ges, and is still doing his best, and
as a mater OF fact most of the pledges
have already been fulfilled, or are
soon to be. He spoke of the tariff
