Wants System Where Producer Can
 Enjoy Fruits of His Own Foil.

MT Editor: There is always two sides to most questions. By careful study we find two sides to the question of high cost of living. College .gradu : the cause to be the decrease in the purchasing power of gold" That is to say that gold being plenty the price falls. This doesn't tally with the changes in value" The theory is when gold is plenty it is cheap. compared with other products. That the cheap ness of gold makes high cost of living. All this talk of high cost of living conveys the idea that the consumer is the only one affected by the cfaeapness of gold. The producer is not taken into account. In order to have con sumers there must be producers. Does the cheapness of gold increase the price to the producer We think not. If government statistics are correct the producer gets only 4e cents of the dollar, the cheap gold comPels the cons umer to pay Here is 50 cents between the producer and the con sumef that cheap gold does not ac- count for. It would appear to be more just, that if cheap gold makes high prices to the consumer. it should give There shouldn't be such difference between the two. It is not gold but dollars, money, that needs to better understood. This difference of 50 cents between the PflGe the C0HSdfA64 pays and the 1s=iee tha producer gets is accomplished by a game called heads I win. tails you lose,' but is not dependent on the quantity of gold pro- duced, but on the number of units or dollars in circulation, and more par ticularly to the ownership of the dol lars. It is an old saying that who ever owns the money, or controls it, is the master of prices and of business. This being true, the owner of the dol hn n which his necessities compel him to accept for his product. The owner of the product then fixes the price for the consumer, which he is obliged to pay, because necessity obliges him to have the product. It is said that ne cessity is the mother of invention. Whether it is or not, necessity compels everyone to have money. The people of this country do not do their busi- ness, do not buy and sell with gold, and muItiples of dollars. The power of ownership of ali money has got to be understood before ever any permanent relief can come for the high cost of living. It seems to be plain enough that the producer in one case is the of one product today is the producer of some other product for which there must be found a consumer, If each one could produce all the products he consumes, everyone would have to be producers. but this Is impossible. But can there not be some system devised by which the producer may enjoy the fruits of bis own toll. It does seem that such a system should be and can be devised. but not until the power of private ewnsrship of that which all are compelled to have Is understood better than it is new,

THE NEW GRAND CENTRAL.

In common with the great changes which are continually being made in the skyline of New York city none of greater importance has been made than is recorded by the strides in the transportation facilities made by the railroad tubes which send the trains into the heart of the city but in like proportion the new Grand Central shows up as an accomplishment of great merit.
 The New York Post we'll refers to it as the effective genius of business sense. tinctured with aspirations of pride, civic and corporate. Yet one wonders at the outiay-at the s1s0, ooo,ooO devoted to the terminal for the 144e trains that come and go each day at the s6,0oo.oo0 expended in the crea- tion of g noble coneourse that may worthily be accepted as one of Father knickerpocker's reception halls One marvels at the nine years of labor at the massing here of 11S,s00 tonsa of steel, at the explosion of million pounds of dynamite in excavatine B. o00,O0 cubic yards of earth and rock. at the laying of 100000 tiles. One taxes In with an1azement the appro- priation to terminal purposes of 4S 1-2 acres of valuable city land. Truly. the directors have been open-handed in their provision of an imposing, express sdra gateway for the city
 And they have been long headed. toos They have created more than a teFninaI for their trains, more than a marble tile laid waiting-room for their passengers They have wrought into the fabric of the city an enduring de- sign. They have created a traff1c cen ter that will attract to itself business that will make their acres yield rich returns upon the above-ground space. while their trains carry the tbrongs Of travellers below the surface'
 The new structure has been the re- suit Of the demands for something greater and better than existed, for the caring for an ever increasing bus- mess, and it is but natural to wonder how soon this monarch of architectu- raI greatness will be outgrown.

The Aver Idea in Advertising Pub
 Hshed by w. w. Aver & Son, Phil .
 adelphia.
 In recognition of their 43 success full years in the advertising business w. W. Aver & Son of Philadelphia have issued an interesting book of A pages on The Aver Idea in Advertising for the purposes of setting forth the policies and methods which have made the agency a success. It deals with the non believers, the advertising agency, the universality of advertis- ing, scientific selling, and in clear and direct manner discusses the eff ciency of advertising when properly applied and directed. When it de- clares that advertising is as much a part of today's life as electricity an- tiseptic surgery, or trolley traction" it sets forth a truth no one who has given it an honest trial can successfully refute.
