WORLDWIDE HIGH PRICES.
Springfield Republican.

Springfield Republican.
An Ottawa dispatch says the min
lister OF agriculture is already direct
ng an investigation of the abnormal
Increase In the cost to the consumer
OF various farm products and other
commodities in recent years" The
particular object of the inquiry. 1t is
said, will be TO find out whether the
middlemen or the producers are main
ly responsible for the increase; and
the minister Of agriculture Is author
ity for the statement that staple prices
are about the same on both sides OF
the boundary and have moved along
up together.
This seems to dispose of the tariff
on farm products as a factor in the
problem. for II these duties protect
our farmers at all 1t Is against Ca
madam farmers, who are shown to be
ia a price situation closely on parity
with that on this side of the line. We
must thus lock beyond factors peculiar
to this country In seeking the causes
of high prices. The change is world
wide, and So must be the cause or
