Halifax, April 1s.-Fred Cameron's
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1910-03-15

miah w. jerks, professor of economics
and politics, Cornell university; James
Wilson. federal secretary of agricui-
ture; Finley Acker, president of the
Finley Acker company. and Laurence
Laughlin. professor of political econ
ouy, Chicago university. And the
views of these gentlemen are most
divergent as to the reasons for the
high cost of living that prevails today.
Mr.. Brown says the high prices are
due to the farmers, the great trouble
being in farm wastefulness. On the
other hand Secretary Wilson is just as
emphatic in declaring that the farmers
are far from deserving all the blame.
He thinks that local combinations of
merchants play a great part in Great
ing high prices.
It is the belief of Governor Hadley
that the trusts are largely responsible
for the high prices. He insists that
they have done away with the law of
supply and demand. And then Pro-
fessor Laughlin comes along and shat
tiers the theories Of many other eco
nomists by declaring it to be his firm
conviction that high prices are not
due to the increased gold supply. He
says that the supply of the yellow
metal is only keeping pace with the
demands for it..
And so the story goes. As many
reasons for the high prices are being
these days by men of intel
Iigence and experience as there are
high prices. The probabilities are that
high prices are not due in the main
to any one of the particular reasons
that men pin their faiths to but to
collection of all of them. Especially
as to foodstuffs, though, there seems
to be pretty general opinion that the
law of supply and demand is the most
potent factor in regulating the prices
of them.

FRANCE AND THE TARIFF.

1.-THE negotiations by the officials of
the United States and the representa-
tives of foreign governments regard
ing the minimum tariffs which are
sought to be secured for this and 9TH
err countries as an amicable adjust
ment of customs matters, have pro-
ceeded to such an extent that the in
dications now are that France will be
the most stubborn country to deal
with in the closing hours of the ne
gotiations," says the current issue of
the Iron Trade Review. cit would
not much surprise the officials of this
government if the enforcement of
maximum duties by this country and
France were the final outcome of the
present differences.
1.-THE fact that the enforcement of
maximum rates between this country
and France is regarded as not alto
gether improbable, is shown by the
fact that already consideration is be-
ing given by our officials to the pos
sible effect upon American trade i'm
port and export with France, if the
enforcement of maximum tariffs shall
be found necessary. Our officials be-
lieve that the United States will have
the better of it. They base this con-
clusion upon the fact that the greater
part of our exports. to. France already
have the advantage of free importa-
ton, as they are raw materials requir-
ed by French manufacturers. On the
other hand, French exports to our
markets are, in the main. high class
luxuries which pay heavy duties and
probably would not feel the added
burden of maximum rates. This is
true as to French wines, fancy laces,
gloves. etc. The point is also made
that if France insists upon maximum
rates, rather than make such conces-
sions as our officials deem necessary,
the probability is that Italy, Germany,
and Austria will take prompt steps
for placing on our markets these ar
ticles of luxury that are now in a
large part supplied by France

By a grim trick of fate

Just who he was and where.
