WHY BUYING is CHECKED.

\ r IS no use trying to disguise the fact that there is = distinct
pause in business in the United States.
Retail merchants complain that admonitions from Wash
ingtOn urging economy upon the public have begun already to
interfere with the ordinary currents Of trade.
Il 10 possible that these injunctiOns, moro or less miSunder-
stood, may be n factor in producing q eurtailment Of buying. But
they constitute by no means the sole factor or even the most inn
portant one.
The check in buying IL due, we believe, mnnIy, perhaps
almost entirely, to the extOrtionate prices now prevailing for the
ordinary necessities of life.
Housekeepers who have to pay from SIS to $l7 per barrel for
flour where formerly So was the usual price, to whom . pound of
sugar means twelve cents where Il used to mean five, who are
obliged to give 81 for a peck of potatoes they once got for twenty
five cents, must rerench on dresses, household Embellishments
and other articles not strictly necessary for bare, everyday
existence. te
The cost Of laxuries In the United States has not increased
relatively to any marked extent. h, sS1
But the priees of common Necessities have been forced up
and up until they now amount to c~onfiscaton Of the family
income. H ~
We have heard plenty of talk about what must be done to
alter such conditions. But nothing has been done. The eOndi-
tons grow steadily worse.
The reason the average family buys fewer commodities in
general il because Il Il seriously alarmed at the appalling cost Of
those particular articles which IL must have to keep lie members
fed, clothed and shod according to the plainest standards
Until SPECTATORS, price boosters and profiteers have been
taken by the throat, general buying will itself continue to be
strangled.
Unless something 10 done soon to reassure consumers, buI-
ness will be stricken shortly with out and out paralysis.

BUREAUCRATIC LAUNDERING.

T Is HARD to say on what principles Of business the Post Office
Department is run.
The proposed increase. in postal rates on newspapers and
periodicals is so excessive even for war time that it is certain to force
much Of this class of matter out Of the mails into express or freight
carrying systems. thereby diminishing postal revenues and causing
loss instead Of gain to the Government.
The Postmaster General who thinks the way to get more revenue
out Of printed mail matter Is to charge 1t so heavily that It won't DO
