The manufacturers of clothing anC
of some other articles, are making al
effort to advance the prices, but are
unable to give any waterproof reason
for the advance, although they blame
it partly on the tariff, which, govern
ment figures show, increases the cost
so little as to be almost negligible
The price advances now, with the
price of farm products remaining
close to the low level is simply q
a serious menace to prosperity. In
f1ation always leads to disaster and
there was never time when an
advance in prices could be more re-
scented than just now.

WAR ON CHEAPNESS IN CITIES.
One of the most encouraging signs
of city Improvement is the increas-
ing effort to protect property owners
and the citizens generally against
cheap, ugly and otherwise offensive
structures. The rights of the public
in this matter are beginning to be
recognized by the courts and by the
city officials. 1t may be expected,
therefore, that there will be many
other decisions such as that of the
city commissioners of Kansas City, l.

streets and near proposed new rail
road station-Kansas City Star
