RETURNING SANITY

In one of our large cities there is manufacturer who employs numerous travelling men who pene- frate every nook and corner of the country. These men are instruct ed, in addition to the sale of goods, to keep their fingers constantly upon the pulse of the people and report to the home office.
 This manufacturer is firmly of the opinion that the country has about recovered from it delirium of commercial and financial in- sanity and is on the return to normal conditions and stability.
 The public has ceased to buy with such extravagant abandon confining itself to the purchase of such articles as are legitimately re- quired.
 This has curtailed the demand, with the result that thousands of employees have been laid off, and others will follow.
 Most of these men have spent their money as easily as 1t was earned, and it is only a question of time when they will be forced to accept other employment at re- duced compensation.
 This, thinks the manufacturer, marks the beginning of a downward trend in the cost of labor, with a consequent decline in the price of the finished products.
 He thinks the decline will be slow and gradual in all lines, but effective, and he does not look for a panic or any other great distur- bance of our commercial and finan- cial system.
 Sounds reasonable, and we hope it is true.

LET'S BE FAIR

During the past few months we have several times heard our home merchants criticised for the price they charge for their goods.
 The home merchant does charge a higher price-a much higher one than he did before the war. He is compelled to do so or go out of business.
 He is paying enormously high prices for goods in the wholesale markets.
