Reducing" Cost by Increasing It.
From the New York Mall

Fr0m the View 1orK MaiI
Bananas have become an important
article Of food to the whole people. In
the poorest homes they serve to reduce
the cost Of living by replacing more
expensive fruits. Owing to their spon-
taneous growth throughout the tropics,
and the possibility of transporting them
easily In great quantities while green,
bananas are about the cheapest fresh
fruit the people have. But the Senate
of the United States. IN Its anti-pro-
tective wisdom. in its noble effort to
reduce the high cost OF living" votes
to impose a duty on bananas. which
have always been free. Having be-
come 4 necessity, or something very
like it, the banana affords a chance to
raise a revenue estimated at $5,OO0,O0O u
year, to take the place of protective
duties on American products. OF course,
this 100000 would have to come
straight out Of the pockets of the people.
