Clothing Prices and the Farmer

Some stores report a tendenc
among farmers to complain because
clothing prices have not dropped to
the same level as farm products. The
best way to meet this criticism IS =
point out the defla,ion tina, has al
ready taken place in clothing prices
Turing the latter half OF 1899 nearly
every store IN the land took 'os
on the merchandise it had On hand
Many a merchant put his nods on
sale at the wholesale price or below
and was not a,ways able 70 dispose

The farmer IS responsible in some
degree at least for the high prices
that were reached in the c'othlns
business. The prices 70 which farm
products ascended during the va
and after led 10 the high prices for
ifocds.uffs and formed the chief ar
cument az the worker in demanding
higher waTes in clothing factory and
wcolen mill.
These prices have receeded az
least SO I-3 per cent in less than
twelve months True. this does not
comnart with the recession in farm
products. but there is a very reason
for this. The clothing industry. in
times rast. was a business in which
the workers were unfortunately
greatly underpaid. In 1914 the aver

Mr.. McGuffey thumped him between

this assault was to force Scraqgs

Dan Hicks ran up on deck and re-

INTO the shaft-alley entrance and in
vlted Scraggs TO surrender uncondi-

Scraggs knowing his own fire hose
deiied them, so Dan Hicks started the
pump while Flaherty turned on the
water. Instantly the hose burst up on

suddenly the combatants disengaged

Gibney prone upon the deck with
