BUT THE HORSE DIED.
(Trenton Gazette).

What is "the high cost of living?"
The term is only a relative one. The
British board Of trade, which last year
made a close investigation and COM
parison of wages and prices in this
country and England, has issued a re-
port setting out that the much higher
wage scale maintained in this country,
under protection, far more than equal
ises the lower cost Of living in Great
Britain.
And "the high cost Of living is re-
lative term In another way. The cost
of living in the soup kitchens and
bread lines of the middle COS, when
the tariff was revised downward, was
not high. Men and families compelled
to live in that way We're clamoring
then for a higher cost of living and
an opportunity to earn the price.
