wave or nigh wages ana h1Eh priCCS that has swept over the country is about to recede.
 Leaders of finance in New Britain have been preaching thrift, and with sound reason behind their advice. They see the. time approaching when. America's prosperity bubble. so far as high wages arc con cerned, will shrink and il may shrink ahead of the re- duction in the cost of living, thereby working many hardships. or incon- venieuces, on those who have not saved. There is no question that the day will come when industry will sIacken and it is possible that many bread winners will be out of work. It is for this contingency that far seeing men have been urging tlrS workers of the country to spend their wages wisely. and il is believed that the people generally are needing the warning to some extent.
 Anyone with common sense who will sit down and study out the sit uation seriously will realize that there must he a drastic change. df the cost of living is to come down wages must mase correspond ding descent. One point carfe eot be gained without the other. It will be the part of wisdom to prepare for the day
 
 One factor that | ust be taken into consideration is ti.> election. The man on the street IS 10 think that a republican will be ,;rosen president. Hard times during a republican ad- miniSt ra ton are so un usual as to win : red dates in history. The big man ufacturing interests of the country and the men of mighty wealth are re rublicans. Whether they are sincere or selfish in their views does not mat ter in this discussion. Their political preference is one of the big facts astride the road, and ii cannot be avoided. Consequently during repub lican administra tions the men who do things worth while and who disburse huge sums for expansion of industYs and trade in general loosen their purse strings because they assume that those in authority 1t Washing ton will take no steps ininlicai to their interests.
 Autumn will present peculiar proh , lcms to economists and political ora tors Above everything else the working man wants the cost of liv
 ing 10 come down. At the same tins he wants no radical reduction in
 wages. As these two are interde- ncndent it is going to put some po-
 
 to explain how one may be accom- plished without the other. And if the country does remain prosperous, a. prosperity is understood today, how can prices on necessities be reduced Sam Lloyd never invented a more difficult puzzle. !
