WILL PRICES COME DOWN New View of the Relation Between Gold Supply and Cost of Living. PROTECTION IS NOT. CAUSE Outlook Ie Now for Lower Average Prices, says American Student of Economic Questions, Propounds In- teresting Theory In Support of His Opinion. From 1896 to 1910, according to Bradstreet's, prices in this country went up 61 per cent. The increase wag unevenly distribut- ed. Farm products increased 100 per cent and factory products 25 to 50 per cent: industries under trust control had a smaller in- crease than those not under trust control; tariff protection articles, on the whole, went up less than those on the free list, or of which this country exports a surplus, In England, between 1896 and 1908, according to the Sauerback figures, animal food increased in price from 73 to 89 per cent, vegetable food from 53 te 70 per cent, while textiles increased from 54 to 62 per cent, English prices are not affected by tariffs, and in England trusts do not greatly bother, Yet on the whole prices there are up more rela- tively than here, In France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Switzerlend, Holland—in fact, in every coun- try furnishing price statisties— prices are alsoup. The form of the government, the kind of a tariff, and the prevalence of (DRY LUMBER Get prices from us before you build in New Hazelton, are ready with the goods Ready for Building in the New Town We Hazelton Interior Lumber Company ee labor unions or ‘industrial com- bination—no one of these things has apparently had much influ- ence.

All sorts of foolish partisan explan- ations will be offered. Professor Seligman of Columbia recently aptly said: ‘The small man who sees no further than his nose sees only the small local causes. 80 in this country. he aseribes high prices t0 the tariff or the trusts. But a oman with a broader view realizes that the in countries where there are no tariffs and no trusts,” F In 1896, after a twenty-year downward swing in prices, the {bottom was reached.

And as in 1896 occurred the change in the price tide, so it is probable that present prices are at the maximum, and that the tendency will be downward rath- er than upward. The production ef gold during 1911. was larger than in any previous .year, but the increase was relatively slight The world’s gold production has gone up only about one million ounces in the last three years, As the demand for. gold as money and in the arts is greater than ever, it seems likely that there is 2 balance between supply and demand. It is the habit of the more unintelligent of man- kind to wake up to dangers when they have passed or are passing, They did it in 1896 and they are setting ready to do it again in 1912, _ If the value of basie money in the world affects the level of av- erage prices; if it be true that the fall in prices from 1872 to 1896 was coincident to a smal increase in the supply of basic money, and that the rise in prices from 1896 has been coincident to @ large increase in the supply of hasic money—if these things are true, then the outlook is for] steady or falling prices, for the gold supply is not likely to be- come much larger.—N, Y, Globe.
