Iu0H PRICES AND THEIR CAUSE.

SELF TO the highest prices for the ne.
ceaslties Of life ever known in the
United states Tho winter before us
Is going 10 be particularly hard on
people Of small wages and salaries
and other limited incomes,
The superintendent Of the mint says
The greatest cause Of high prices il
the cheapness Of gold. Since the be-
ginning Of the European war, the gold
supply OF the United states has risen
until It is now seven hundred million
dollars above the normal, and at the
Same time tho debts owing from tho
United states TO people In European
countries have been practically all
nquidated in payment for American
products. Loans have also been made
t. foreign countries to the tune Of
about fifteen hundred million dollars
Thus interest from the United states
has been stopped and the current now
is setting strongly toward this coun-
try.
This means a plethora Of money for
America. AS the quantity Of money
Increases. its purchasing power di-
minishes. which Is but another way
OF saying that the value Of everything,
when measured in terms Of money, in
Creascs.
when the war is over there will be

wages now being paid will suffer "A

gold supply will again set toward Eu-
rope, but largely in the form Of loans
for the rehabilitation OF the ravages
caused by the war.
Also, the competition with Europe

products OF the factories will be
largely consumed by the people Of the
nations now fighting; but within a
short time the output win be greater
than those peoples viii consume, and

south Of us, where we are now selling
tar more than ever before.
The process Of getting down Off Of
