AUTHORITY DISCUSSES
INFLUENCE OF GOLD
Director of the Mint Roberts Believes
Stronger Factors Than Yellow
Metal Govern Prices.
FOOD AND RAW MATERIALS

George Z. Roberts. In the advance
sheets of the annual report Of the Direc-
tor of the Mint, discusses In his custom
ary thorough manner the indirect IN
fiuence of gold upon prices
That there is a relationship, he be-
lieves. admits of no controversy. but
stranger influences govern
In the course Of his statement, Director
Roberts states:
"a study OF all price tables will show
that the level of prices under review
has been carried up by the rise in ar
tIcles Of food and raw materials. Manu-
facturks have either not risen at all or
The raw materials and labor which have
entered into them. The greatest rise OF
all IN the last fifteen years in the United
States has been in lumber, but IL Is not
necessary to resort to the gold hypothesis
for an explanation In this case. Ali OF
the products OF timber have been going
higher because nearby supplies were
being exhausted.
'Tn all. lines heavy investments of
capital have been made for the purpose
of reducing labor costs. and results have
been obtained which would have natur-
ally appeared in lower prices IL the
higher costs of raw materials and Of
the food and clothing Of the operativs
had not interviewed and overbalanced
them. Indeed, Il would require nothing
less than a revolution in the methods
Of industry TO Offset in importance a rise
Of 20 per cent in the cost OF the food
staples and OF such common commodities
as cotton, hides, and lumber"
