One Cause Of High Prices.

At last we are getting at the rea
causes of the high cost of living il
America. The chief reason is tn
most wasteful system of distribution
now in existence on earth. No othe
nation could or would stand for il
/ The farmers do not get excessive
prices for their products. nor do TIN
railroads charge exorbitant freights
The fault lies elsewhere. Here arr
a few specific instances to illus
tratc:
Ezra futile. farmer of Eastport
N. Y, sold beans at 40 cents a bush
el and paid the freight himself. Tho
commission men got 10 cents out Of
the 40. Mr.. futile found the sam
beans being marketed at New York
about silky miles distant, at 10 cents
uart, oqr $3.50 per bashel, a profit
of 1900 per cent.
H. B. Full erton. another Long
Island farmer, sold cauliflower for
As cents barrel and discovered II
being retailed in New York a: %
cents head.
An Oklahoma farmer soid a car
load OF melons at cents apiece,
amounting to $3.50 for the carload
The railroad charged SIS for trans
portation. The railroad charged
SIS for transportation. The melons
retailed for $500
These are specific instances. Sim
ilsr ones can be repeated indef-
nitely
1t is estimated that it required
$1,000, 100000 last year to take
$4,000. 100000 worth of products
from the farmer to the consumer.
Under such conditions can we
wonder at the enormous fortunes
that are being piled up on the one
hand, or on the other at the ruinous
prices that make it increasing y
harder for poor families to live?
