sPECULATING IN FOOD

II N the whole course of the controversy oyer the
u eight hour day for trainmen there was perhaps
only one item printed in the newspapers that
gave equal satisfaction to practically all newspaper
readers. That was the one which chronicled the
fact that food dealers in the big cities who had
Ngambled on an expected shortage because Of tie
UP had lost much money. One Spectator in New
Work is reported to have lost hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars.
whereabouts there probably were no losses, but
tha will to profit by the situation existed, and to
make use of an expression familiar to the readers
Of market reports, prices hardened on Saturday.
Had there actually been a walk out prices here for
staple foods would have been leaping by noon Mon
day and there would have been scramble on the
part of tie consumers which would have made the
morning of Labor Day one of the memorable per-
iods of the business year.
1t is difficult to- control such matters In Europe
they have had to find ways, and if the time eyer
comes when we b ably need the information we can
get q wealth Of pointers from practically all the
big nations now at war. As matters nov stand,
however, it wouldl be bit difficult to apply such
European expera nce to American conditions.
There is one point, however, which we hope food
dealers this si,ae Of the Atlantic will bear in
mind if the temptation to boost the prices of food
products should pr esent ITSELF Rioting yould be-
gin in American cities much earlier than it would
make its appearance. in the cities of Europe and
is quite likely to ia Ike the form of making clean
sweep Of the offending premises.

TARIFF TO THE FRONT

i FTER watching for some time the early trend
d OF the Republican national campaign the
Brockton Searchight, newspaper devoted
q he interests of labor and published in one of the
11oet important of the Massachusetts, industrial
towns, the other day expressed the hope that Mex-
can affairs and other matters of that general char
saetsr would not be permitted to eclipse the lone
gxeat vital issue before the people Of the United
States ID the coming political contest, and that the
Republican leaders will constantly keep before the
public the serious danger of an industrial inva
sion OF this country after the war in Europe ceases
to give rs that thorough protection we have enjoy
ed for the past two years.
The same thought was on the mind of many other
people who are interested in the industries of the
country. We quote the Searchlight merely to call
attention 70 the fact that in these days when the
tariff Is better understood thar It used to be the
people who have capital invested in manufacturing
plants ere not the only ones who appreciate the
fundamental necessity Of the proper kind of fiscal
legislation Fortunately now comes to ease all mis-.
giyings along that score the welcome intelligence
that the campaign managers had at no time lost

MossBAcKs AND WORSE

there is lot Of opposition to the
~ precautions that are being taken to prevent
an outbreak here of nfantile paralysis. Some
Of it is easily understood. This is supposed to be
very enlightened age in which we live but every
once in while something happens which serves to
remind US that there still plenty of people who
shed the veneer with surprising rapidty when their
pocket nerve is touched.
As for the Others the people who oppose public
ity regarding sanitary measures what they prob
ably explain are general principles Well, the only
thing that it is possible to say to such without
pontedy mpeackng their intelligence is that it is
better to err on the side of caution, and that the
more publicity the more likely it is that the pre-
cautionary measures,will be observed.
No great amount off damage will be done by set
ting back the date for opening the schools, while
the harm that would result if the mysterious dis
ease should get hold here would be incalculable.
And there is not the slightest prospect that the
town will suffer in prestige, when it is fact that
the more progressive the city the earlier it took
action during the present danger.

Wage earners and capitalists alike all over the

severest strain the industrial fabric Of the United
capital will suffer If the proper steps are not taken,
for, as the Brockton Searchlight, which we have
already quoted, very truly says, "Fhere is not the
slightest hope that the flooding of our markets with
foreign made goods would reduce the cost of Lying

is absolute certainty that every million dollars
