HIGHEST CRIMINAL RECORD.


According to the recent report of J,
de '. ROos, secretary of the law de-
partment and director Of prisons, the
Rand contains more criminals to the
thousand inhabitants than any other
place in the civilized world, the Lon.
don correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger says:
The population is about 100000.
In 1909 one out Of every 245 was con.
victed. These convictions have risen
from 3,255 in 1904 to S9,OO5 in 1909.
There were also last year 5.5s5 unde-
tected crimes, including % murders,
q cases of arson, II forgeries and 13l
rObberies. Arrests for 1909 included
1885 male whites and S34 women,
81 ,O63 colOred males and 3,l93 COL
ored women.
The most serious part of the report
is that dealing with the marked in.

HIGH PRICES.

Many attribute the rise of prices to
our trusts and so-called monopolies.
This is exactly what the people did in
England three hundred years ago, and
the explanation is wrong now as it was
then. Trusts cannot raise the prices
of commodities above the buying pow
er Of the people, and that is determin.
ell by the amount of gold and credit in
their possession. To be sure, trusts
are anxious to get as high a price as
they can for what they have to sell, but
so they were twenty-five years ago,
when prices were falling. The meat
trust cannot charge any price it pleases
for steak and chops. No matter how
much it may try to squeeze the con.
sumner, it is finally compelled to take
the price he is willing to pay. 1t can
not raise the price above that figure
any more than man by jumping up
aud down on the scales can increase
his weight. The laws governing the
price of meat are entirely beyond the
control of any great meat trust or mo-
nopoly that men can create. A mo-
nopoly may for time, by restricting
its output, be able to get higher price
for what it sells, but all business men
have learned by experience that high
prices brought about in that way do
not mean high profits.
The tariff, which is blamed by
some people for high prices, affects
only few articles and is no more eff.
fective now than it was ten years ago,

With respect to foodstuffs and all
other agricultural products there is q
force a. work making for higher pri-
ces which is entirely independent Of
the increasing gold supply. 1t is the
increasing cost of production.
The rise of prices is not without its
compensation. 1t gives q peculiar
charm to business and industry, for
every man likes to sell on q rising
market. 1t also is a great stimulus to
agriculture and is tending to draw
many ofour young men away from the
cities to the country. This is gold
en- age for the farmer. The prices Of
the things he Produces are rising and
he is not tempted into foolish extrava-
gances by too close contact with the
cities. Farmers, therefore, are getting
hank accounts as we'll as buying auto
mobiles. Indeed, it is a pretty good
time for any man who is willing to
work and save. The steady upward
tendency of prices seemed to indicate
a strong demand for goods and many
new industries are being established in
consequence. The demand for labor is
strong, better wages are paid than
formerly and fewer men are out FEM
