IL nue. liz ely dOOul IL IAC1 cas-
ed cost Of living, not only hangs upon
the people Of this country like a
nightmare, but it is a nightmare that
cannot be dispelled by awaking from
sleep.
The politicians tell us thai it is
caused by a high tariff. which keeps
out foreign goods and puts a big pre-
MUM on everything made at home.
and, in addition to this. capital has
combined to form monopolies, which
impose extOrtiOnate rate on every
thing handled by capital.
This is all to becorrected by de-
stroying the present tariff and by
breaking up the monopolies, and then
the wise lawmakers are profuse in
their promises that living will be
cheaper, if, indeed, it does not sink
down to the rates Of ten and even
twenty years ago.
Let us hope that the wise men will
be able to redeem their promises, but
without putting too much faith in
them it will not be out Of place to
mention some Of the principal facts
that have contributed to cause the
great rise in the prices Of food and
the principal articles Of clothing.

census Of 1910 presents the unassail-
able figures that while the population
increased FL per cent Or 10, 900, 900,
there was no proporhonate increase
OF the food crops, while there was 4
large decrease in the number Of cat

striking fact in the increase Of pouu-

immigration composed Of adult and
abie-bodied men, the greatest num-

to go to the farms, While our resid emf

To our dear mother God did say,
Come to thy rest, thy work is done,
Come to My glory. faithful one"
The wound to us was very deep,
How sad to see mother fall asleep,
Yet, while our hearts did nearly break,
With Jesus Christ she didst awake.

When am all alone,
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own.
Mother, am so sad and lonely,
Since you have gone from me,
And II seems there is no pleasure
In this dreary world for me.
