RAISING PRICES

Editor Honolulu Star-Builetin.
, Sir: eApropos Of the boosting OF
prices en- every day commodities thai
must enter into the bill Of fare OF the
woriing class and, if that boosting is
really occasioned by the law OF supply
and demand, or the fever that has
feemingly contaminated the blood OF
everybody who has an article Of food
to sell, 10 raise the price on that arti.
Gle to the limit and charge it all IN
to the war, the Manila Daily Bulletin
has treated this very interesting sub.
ject editorially, and I have clipped a
portion Of the article and am submit;
ting II Tor the benefit OF "all con.
cerned.
Most of the businessmen In the
city OF Manila are playing the game
with the public, and where reputable
houses have informed their custom
erss of the necessity Of increasing
the prices of articles there is no
doubt the step has been taken reluc-
family and as result OF circum-
stances over which these houses have
had no control On the other hand,
there are some incidents disclosed
during the past few days which
would furnish us with material for a
gcod laughat our own expense and
that OF the consuming publicwere
u net for the fact that the burden
placed upon the people by some OF
these business methods falls in large
measure upon the poorer classes Of
the people who are not in q position
to bear t.

example has risen In price .son &C.

refer to what Mrs Manila House.
keeper calls table salt but to the
coarse, dirt-infested article, reclaimed,
like the Port Area. from the waters OF
the sea This salt Is used almost ex-
clusiTely by the poorer people in every
part Of the islands, and a few short
months ago II could be bought from
the producers at the salt beds for so
and 10 centayos q sack. depending
upon the state OF the market. The ex.
ample Of other commodities soaring In
price 'oii account Of the war was ap.
parently too much for the producers,
however. and little by little this price
was raised until the same salt, pro.
duced IN the same old way and by the
same people, sold at ~ per sack. By
this time the lure Of greater profits
had taken hold of the producers with
q vengeance, and at ore fell swoop
the price was jumped from Pc to PA

war, you understand 9
Have you ever seen them make
this salt? They run the sea water
into shallow beds and let the sun
eyaporate It; then they run in some
more water and call upon the sun
for some more evaporation. and thus
they continue until, they have quite
q thick layer Of salt crystals on the
bottom OF the beds, The power is fur
nished by the tides Of the sea, which
are allowed to fill the beds with wa.
ter at regular intervals. and the salt
Is extracted by the rays Of the sun.
The operations are practically con
trolled by that long standing monopo.
ly known as Sun, Moon and Company,
and II is indeed sad to learn that even.
