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

\ jin the very year that saw a

The price quéstion is: in politics
in 1912 as it was in 1896; al-
though the complaint now.is the
contrary of the complaint of six-
teen years ago. .

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.
