Production-Cost.

The old economist of Mills day (in
whose economies many of our present
day managers were educated) taught
that price depended on the cost Of pro
duction and to most managers cost
of production meant factory cost. But
the old economist was thinking more
of the necessities produced in the fields
or in the small shops. He knew little
of the created demand for new articles.
The old economist looked on the law of
supply and demand as working on an
immutable mechanical principle. The
law of supply and demand is mental
law, as unstable and uncertain in its
operation as all mental mass processes.
But there are certain fundamentals.-E.

Why Germans Were Popular.

German diligence, thoroughness and
readiness to consider the feelings of
those whom they care to conciliate, have
earned desirable share of the com
merce of Latin America. This gain has
been notable i'll Central America; per-
haps greatest in Guatemala and Saliva
dor. One cause may have been de-
scribed by a lawyer who said to me
lately:
= If we do prefer the German to the
Americans, it is because the Germans
marry our women, and make their
homes here. They show little of that
contempt for us which the Americans
display - Edward Perry, in Indus
