REASONING IT OUT

With regard to the abnormal level
to which prices for life's necessities
have attained there are two we'll
defined divisions Of opinions. Some
have been quite positive that the pres
ent high prices are due mainly to the
depreciation Of gold. Naturally they
do not expect prices to decline much
after the war. for if gold is really de
preciated, prices will not decline
much. Their" is another class, and d
much larger element. who think that
The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1917-03-09

prices are due to scarcity relative 10
demand and that the supply Of gold
has not increased abnormally. They
contend that after the war, when the
military demand falls off and the sup
ply OF commodities increases there
should be an extensive decline IN
prices generally.
An accredited economic authority
in considering these two views Of the
present situation, maintains that the
facts are that the annual rate of gold
production has not Increased much
since the war broke out. that the de-
mand for commodities in Europe has
increased tremendously. and that the
business transactions attending the
increased exchange Of commodities
have been effected mostly by the crea-
ton of paper currency. After the war,
when these military transactions dis
appear, this paper currency Will Do
gradually retired and prices Will de-
cline. 1t is more proper to say that
commodities generally have appreci-
ated than TO say that gold has depre-
ciated Prices are higher in Europe,
where gold is scarce, than in Amer
lea, where gold is unusually abundant
The world supply has merely been
shifted, but not abnornally increased

THE LOGIC OF PROTECTION

DR.. Pratt, the publicity agent of the
Department of Commerce, has been
quite lavish in exploiting the tariff
views OF the administration. general
~ in support Of its free trade procliv-
tiles. In q recent address in Boston
he discoursed on a subject that is
especially dear to the heart Of the
American protectionist-the tin indus
try. The burden of his appeal was
for an increased importation Of the
raw material. the tin ore, from those
countries in which We are expected
to extend our foreign trade. Dr.
Pratt. free trader that he is, could
not have selected an article more cal
culated to complete the protectionist
argument than that Of tin. In it is to
be found the perfect logic of Repub-
lican contention.
The quantity of tin produced here is
so small that we must depend almost
wholly on imports, practically all Of
which is in the refined state. cast into
shape convenient for handling. This
refined product is the raw material Of

the greater the amount Of importation

industry is depressed imports fall off

Of them show an anxiety to have II
