ment has slightly increased. Wages
have dropped alarmingly as the
price of necessities has risen to new
heights. Hundreds of thousands are
having miserable time ekeing out
an existence.
The reduction in the standard of
living is noticeable now, whereas
previously it had been only theo-
ry.
In many hutS and homes there is
little-if anything-left after pay
ing for the bare necessities of life.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
the demand for shoes, cotton goods.
sewing machines and many other
articles has declined, and Slackened
industry as a result Electricity con-

The crisis" already has had three
district phases:
/. In 1887 there was series of
crop failures. Importation of food
the nation has never seen swept
the country The price index OF
basis commodities shot up to 1889
compared with 1904 in 1886.
?. In 1888 there was an unpre-
cedented flight of capital abroad
and more crop failures here. This
was followed by the petroleum liti-
cation which eliminated in the
governments seizure of foreign
properties. The peso was taken off
the dollar exchange standard and
allowed to find its own level. It
dropped about 35 per cent. The
price index rose further to 1868

were increased by many new taxes.
